It took me a
minute or two to regain my bearings and recognize physical sight instead of my
gifted sight. I blinked then I blinked
again as my mind returned to Alaska. I lay on my back, breathing deeply to slow my
racing heart.

jumped off his stool in excitement wearing a grin from ear to ear. "Babushka, you're brilliant!" She was caught off guard when he rushed up and swamped
her in his arms and swung her about. &Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070149375272949622.post-34769791434721421252023-11-11T13:00:00.008+11:002023-11-11T13:00:35.120+11:00"The Legal Department of Hodge Endeavor may be protecting their real identities, but it doesn't mean you can't simply interview them." (Excerpt Alma Introduction)
This gave
Griggori an idea and he turned to Julia with a hopeful expression.
"What about their daughter... this Lucia Grace
Sabre...was a birth certificate created for her?"
"Da," she nodded. "But like her father, Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070149375272949622.post-36845404593186897312023-10-05T20:46:00.001+11:002023-10-05T20:46:09.468+11:00"Two hundred years is a long time to be married." (Excerpt Alma Introduction)
"What do
we know about Hodge Endeavor?" he postulated. “The company began in the early 20th Century,
starting out as a Pharmaceutical company which branched into Medicine and
Engineering. It made its money with
cutting-edge technology in the field of medicine and computer science. After World War Two, the company began a

“So, what do
we know about the year 2101?" she sat down on her stool.
"It was the year all of the world's governments
signed the Apology Admission for World War Three," he shrugged.

"That would make sense if he was our Mr X with the increased physical strength and antibodies." (Excerpt Alma Introduction) Half an hour
later, Griggori was sitting hunched over his computer pulling up various
records however, Julia wasn't as successful.
When he heard her cursing, he looked over to where she was working. Bad-temperedly, she hit her touch-screen
computer which blinked again in protest. &Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070149375272949622.post-87937621775076808742023-06-15T21:31:00.000+10:002023-06-15T21:31:24.664+10:00"He's supposed to be in his forties, too? Like his wife, he looks like he's still in his twenties!" (Excerpt Alma Introduction)
Griggori
pressed a new command into his computer which displayed the driver's license
complete with a photo of a woman named Bianca Sabre.
"She's attractive," Julia noted, as she looked
on the woman's long, black hair, smooth white skin and dark blue eyes.

"The
huge, hairless, mutant, albino grizzly sounds like what our Mr X might
be," Griggori continued. "In
2364 there was a 'wild animal attack' in Alaska
where witnesses described this creature as the one who did the attacking. Three victims were mauled in a supermarket

“Tell me in

“In China

the country. Some of them had been
killed by a silver sword, evident by the traces of metal in the singed flesh
around the cuts. However, most of Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070149375272949622.post-80549224019275310592023-03-08T21:55:00.005+11:002023-03-08T21:55:24.548+11:00“How can you link Mr. X to the murders today and to the ones 236 years ago?” (Excerpt Alma Introduction)
Reluctantly,
she set aside her cold Chinese food and together they congregated around her
computer so she could explain the readouts.
“I have been able to isolate several saliva samples in
the victims’ bites to allocate them to specific members of the OO Negative and
the OO Positive Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070149375272949622.post-34118917663780127282023-02-06T23:54:00.012+11:002023-02-06T23:54:59.422+11:00“What's certain is the OO Negative species require fresh blood to replenish their necrotized bodies.” (Excerpt Alma Introduction)
The pair
worked solidly away in a comfortable silence over the next several hours. As
Grigorri searched the InterPol database for 'wild animal attacks' or
sword-related deaths, Julia combed the Forensics reports for anymore OO
Positive and OO Negative blood samples taken from crime scenes. They each worked at separate computers with
cartons of Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070149375272949622.post-30557580631211848582023-01-15T20:26:00.008+11:002023-01-15T20:27:40.872+11:00"The tissue samples taken from their skin showed extreme photosensitivity and several of their major organs weren't functioning. Their bodies appeared to be in a form of biological stasis.” (Excerpt Alma Introduction)
Next, he
asked, "If the OO Positive victims were strong with amazing immune
systems, what were the OO Negative victims like?"
"Quite the opposite," she announced. "The tissue samples taken from their skin

Da, I know how crazy it sounds Griggori. It's probably why the investigation faltered back in 2145.” (Excerpt Alma Introduction)
Griggori forced himself to look at the gory pictures on
the screen again.
"So both OO Negative and OO Positive are allergic to
silver?"

Wearily, she rubbed her
eyes which were sore from looking at computer screens all day. She envied Griggori since he was a Detective,
he could leave the building and get some fresh air once in a while. Her work was scanning samples on glass slides
then analyzing the results.

“Look at the results and at
what happened to the blood samples that were added to the OO Negative. The samples were drained of all their
