Doc's Obedience Clinic Pt. 03

DOC'S OBEDIENCE CLINIC CH THREE

Jake and Beth settled into a work routine. Beth was almost back to her old self. Jake had told her to dress like she used to. She was now completely independent. She could work or go wherever she wanted. She would take Mary out for the day.

Mary had an attendant who watched over her. She had settled on the intelligence of a six-year-old, more or less. She was happy and had learned to read. She could talk and be on her own in the house. This was all she would probably be for the rest of her life, but she was alive long after the doctors had told her she would be dead. She had made the decision and even though she would never know the outcome, she is happy and healthy. Beth and Jake would make sure she remained that way for the rest of her life.

Beth understood her situation. She took her pills and never had any problem with a potential addiction from the control in her. She had her work and a clear mind to advance it. Jake never interfered with her and allowed her to live independently. She knew she still would do whatever Jake told her to do, but he was very careful about how and when he invoked it.

Jake did have one problem he was very concerned about. As more and more rich millionaires showed up with their "toys" to be re-programmed, Jake knew the likelihood that someone would slip and let what he was doing out of the bag. He needed to put an end to that weakness. He decided the only way to guarantee safety was to program the buyer to forget him and only remember what he had paid for. Now he just had to figure out a way to accomplish that.

He started by telling Beth about his concerns. She agreed and started working on a solution. Jake knew she would figure it out.

Dave now worked with Jake and ran the logistics. Ann had become a good friend to Beth, and they did things together.

Jake was very happy he didn't need to control Beth any longer. He loved having the real Beth in his life and his bed. It didn't take Beth long to solve the customer "problem". Since they needed blood from the customer to make the DNA control for the subject, they simply made it a two-step process. They would inject Jake's DNA into them and Jake would tell them what they would do once they left Jake's company. They would forget anything about Jake and enjoy the fact that their "significant other" would do what they were told simply because they "loved" them.

They had a chance to test this new option very soon. They got a call from a man who owns an NFL team. Jake didn't know which and didn't care which. He flew in on his private jet with his wife. Dave picked them up at the airport and drove them to the house.

"Thank you for seeing me. Walter says you are a miracle worker with attitudes. I've got a dozy of an attitude." At that moment, his wife walked in from the kitchen. "Let me introduce you to my wife, Melanie. Say hello to Jake and Beth, Melanie."

"Yeah, whatever. Who do I have to sleep with to get a simple drink in this place?"

"Melanie, be nice. We're guests here."

Jake was ready to drug the shit out her immediately. He'd do her for free, the bitch. "What would you like to drink, ma-am?"

"You got any Scotch?"

"Rocks, or no?"

"I don't want any water in my drink."

"Got it." Jake went to the kitchen to get her a Scotch. On the way back, he put enough tranquillizer in it to put down a horse. She was going to sleep for a long time. By then, she'd be as nice as a kitten.

"Here's your drink. I hope you enjoy it."

She took the drink and downed most of it in one gulp. Jake hoped she would sit down before she passed out. He didn't want her to hurt herself before he fixed her.

"Don't worry, Michael. I think we can take care of your problem pretty quickly."

She must have felt it immediately because she did sit down. Within a few minutes she sat on a couch and a couple of minutes later she fell over onto the couch, out cold. "What did you do to my wife?"

"I knocked her out. Now we will be able to work on her for you in peace. You are welcome to come and watch, if you wish."

"You bet your ass I want to watch her become the compliant, sweetheart I married."

He picked up his wife and carried her down the stairs. When he got there, he put her on the table.

They had used the Ann program. It has worked on dozens of women, all of whom are now living a happy life as the wife of a very rich and successful man.

"We will need to draw some of your blood. Your blood will be her control. Once your DNA is in her system, she will obey you without question."

He liked the idea and rolled up his sleeve. Beth put the first shot into him and began to draw blood. He never noticed there were two shots.

"You can watch her while we make the control serum."

He nodded and they went to the lab. When they were gone, he began playing with his wife's limp body. He flopped her arms and legs around and pushed her head around a couple of times. "Take that, bitch. You're not so hot now, are you. I should have done this to you long ago. Speaking of doing something to you...." He grabbed her hair and pulled her head over to the edge of the table. He took out his dick, pushed her mouth open and shoved it into her mouth. She was out and just lay there. He enjoyed fucking her mouth. She hadn't done that for him in a very long time. He finished by shoving his dick as deep into her throat as he could and fired into her. When he was finished, he pulled out and wiped his dick on her tongue and lips.

Jake and Beth had watched their cameras while they worked. Jake couldn't blame him for that.

Beth already had the basic control compound ready beforehand. All she had to do was install Michael's DNA into her control. They had used Jake's DNA as Michael's control. It would go away as soon as the nano-bots were flushed out of his system. All that would remain would be the rewired neural paths in his brain. It would take a day for that to happen. By the time he loses the memory of what Jake had done to his wife, she would be a sweet, purring kitten. He would be so happy about her, but he wouldn't remember what had made her change, and he would forget all about Jake and Beth.

They went back into the room where Michael and Melanie were waiting. Beth injected Melanie with both injections.

"Now we just must wait for her to wake up. It might take longer because of the tranquilizer, but she will wake up. We will make up the control pills. You will need her to take one pill every week, usually every Sunday for the rest of her life. If she doesn't, she will have withdrawals as if from an addiction. You understand?" He nodded.

"Since we don't have the pills yet, we will need you to push a large amount of your DNA into her system now. The quickest way to get it into her bloodstream is one of two ways. You can choose. We can give her a direct shot into her bloodstream. If you'd like more fun than that, you can push your dick down her throat and make her swallow a large amount of your semen. That will be a large enough dose to hold you over until we can get you the pills. You will need to stay here tonight while our lab makes your first batch of pills. After that, we will ship you a bulk order soon."

Jake and Beth both saw him fuck her mouth while they were away. The question was, would he tell them about that, or take the shot method. Maybe he would just fuck her mouth again.

"Just give her the shot. I'll enjoy the little minx myself, later."

Beth gave her the shot. Now, they just had to wait. Jake had the kitchen send them down lunch while they waited. They enjoyed sandwiches and beer while they waited.

It took two hours for her to wake up. When her eyes started fluttering, Jake addressed her. "Melanie, can you hear me?"

She opened her eyes and looked at Jake. When she saw Michael, she smiled. "Hello, dear. Is everything okay?"

Michael smiled at her and held her hand. "Melanie, my love. Everything is perfect."

Jake whispered into Michael's ear. "We need to run a test. Tell her to do something she would normally not do."

Michael thought for a second and then smiled. "Melanie, my love. I have a bet with Jake. Would you please remove your blouse and show Jake your breasts? We have a bet."

Melaine smiled at Michael. "Yes, my love. If that is what it takes for you to win the bet, I will gladly do as you ask."

She sat up and removed her blouse. When it was gone, she unsnapped her bra and threw it on the table. She sat there with her large, implanted breasts showing to everyone like she was proud of them. Jake figured they had cost Michael enough; she should be proud of them. Jake waved to Michael, and he told her to put her blouse back on. She did so with a smile.

"We're good. We are having a nice dinner tonight. You have just enough time to enjoy your "new" wife this afternoon if you want."

Michael smiled like a kid at Christmas and held out his arm to his wife. She took it and they headed upstairs. The butler showed them to their room, and they didn't see them again until they were called for dinner.

When they came down for dinner, both were smiling like college kids after a wonderful date. She was laughing at everything he said, and he was holding her hand.

Dinner was wonderful. Michael couldn't be nicer, and Melanie was a perfect dinner guest. They sat in the den and had drinks for a couple of hours. Micheal finally yawned and said he was tired. He took Melanie's hand, and they headed upstairs, giggling.

"I guess that was a success, huh Beth?"

Beth nodded. "I just hope the control wipes out his memory after tomorrow. The last thing we need is that blowhard remembering what changed his wife and spreading it around like jam on toast."

First thing in the morning, the pills arrived from the lab. Jake handed them to Michael and had him give her one then. Jake told her she needed one of these pills every Sunday for the rest of her life as a vitamin. She nodded and swallowed the pill.

Dave took them to the airport. They were gone.

A couple of days later, Jake called his office to try and speak to him. Michael told his secretary he had no idea who Jake was and wouldn't talk to him. Success.

Jake and Beth decided then that no customer would remember them. There would be no discovering them from loose lips.

Their next customer came from an unexpected place, the front door of their house. The butler came and told Jake a young woman was at the door, and she seemed very upset.

Jake went to see. "Miss, can I help you?"

She was very pretty, around twenty-five, raven-black hair with a perfect figure. At the moment, her makeup was running, and her clothes were very disheveled. She had obviously been crying. "My name is Annabelle, but everyone calls me Belle. I'm at the end of my rope. If you can't help me, I may kill myself."

Beth had followed him to the door and stepped around Jake to put her arm around the distressed woman. "Come in, my dear. Tell us your problem."

They sat down on the couch in the living room and waited for her to start. "I have been to several doctors and several clinics. No one can help me. They keep saying it is in my head that I could stop if I really wanted to. But I have tried and tried. I'm a prisoner of my passions. Please help me.?" Jake looked at Beth.

Beth continued. "What is your exact problem?"

"It is called hypersexuality, I'm told. I think only about sex. I must have sex every day, or I begin to shake and can't think clearly. The clinics couldn't help me, and all my boyfriends grow tired of me pawing at them all the time."

"Why are you at our door? Who told you about us?"

Belle started crying, so Beth called a halt to the inquisition. She took Belle with her to a different room and told Jake to wait.

A few minutes later, Beth returned with the story. "She was traveling through our local town when her and her boyfriend had another fight about her "problem." He finally left her there. The manager of the grocery store found her hysterical in the back of his store. We are the only doctors he knew that weren't family doctors, so he dropped her off in our driveway."

"Now that we have that straightened out, what do we do with her?"

Beth smiled. "Really? Isn't sex our stock and trade? Maybe this time, we could help someone."

Jake liked the idea. "Let's try it. Maybe we can cure an overly aggressive sexual Libo. You lead this one, okay?"

Beth nodded and headed back to Belle. "I think we can help you, if you will allow us to. Please come with us."

They led her downstairs to their lab. She was very surprised to see an entire large lab in their basement. "You work here? What do you do?"

Beth held out her hand to Jake. "We work on people with behavioral issues. We are interested in your problem. I will need a sample of your blood, and it will take a couple of days to produce the serum for you."

"Wait, you're going to inject me with some unknown chemical?"

"Only if you wish us to. You came to us, remember?" Jake didn't need this right now. Another mouth that could talk.

Beth patted her on the shoulder. "How about you think about it tonight?" We'll give you a room to spend the night and we'll talk in the morning."

She nodded and Beth took her upstairs and found her a room. "We'll have dinner around six. You're welcome to join us, if you wish."

Beth went looking for her at six. When Beth opened the door, she found Belle, naked and writhing on her bed. She was frigging herself with a vibrator so hard Beth was worried she might hurt herself. When Belle saw Beth, she cried out. "Please HELP me. I can't stop."

Beth went downstairs, got a sedative, and gave her a shot. Within a few minutes, she was asleep. Jake was standing in the hallway, watching. "My guess is she will let us help her in the morning."

Beth nodded. "I think we should lock this door tonight. We can't have her wandering around our house, looking for an unsuspecting man to fuck." So, they did.

The next morning, they found her slumped by the door, sleeping. Jake picked her up and carried her downstairs to the lab. He laid her on a lab table and Beth threw a lab coat over her naked body. Beth took blood before she was aware of it.

When Belle woke up, Beth was in her lab and Jake was standing beside her. "What happened? Why am I here? Why am I on a lab table and naked?"

"You're not naked. You were when we found you, but we have covered you." Jake patted the coat. "Now, can you tell us what happened?"

"After Beth left, I woke up in the dark. I needed someone, and I went looking, but I couldn't get out of the door. I tried and tried until I was tired. That is the last thing I remember until a minute ago."

Jake looked at her sternly. "I can't have you roaming my halls, looking for a man to ease your fever. You are going to stay down here until we are finished. Do you want to be strapped down or given a sedative to make you sleep while we work. Your choice?"

Jake could see resignation in her eyes. "Whichever you think best." She lay back down and closed her eyes.

Jake smiled at her. "Sleep it is. See you when we have something for you." He gave her a strong sedative and she was asleep within a couple of minutes.

Beth worked for the rest of the day until she had what she hoped would dull her sexual desire. Hypersexuality usually includes a poor opinion of self in the patient. They are always trying to obtain approval from the opposite sex. Beth included something to improve her self-image on the chance that was part of her problem. She had to be careful not to wipe all her sexual urges out of her mind. She would still need to be aroused and able to have orgasms, only at a normal rate.

Beth knew the control was going to be a problem. It had to be Jake. She wasn't adding any more variables than she had to. They had never tried female on female. It should be okay, but why risk it?

"Jake, you will need to be her control."

Jake didn't like that at all. "No, it should be you."

"We don't know for sure if my hormones would calm her or not. I think so, but we know a male would get her attention."

Jake thought that was thin, and he could have forced her. However, he had never forced her yet, and he wasn't starting now. He agreed.

Beth took a vial of Jake's blood and made the serum before she woke up. She now had both shots ready. All it took to help was for her to take the shots.

Bella finally woke up. She looked around. "Have you done anything to me yet?"

Beth patted her shoulder. "No, my dear. We are ready, but you must approve first."

"What do you have?"

"We have two shots. I believe this will give you a normal sex life and remove the addiction from your life. DO you want me to give them to you?"

Bella looked at Jake and then Beth. She didn't know these people, and she was trusting her life to them. She didn't know them, but she knew what her life was like without them. It couldn't be any worse. "Do it."

Beth gave her the first shot. They waited for her to react. After an hour, her eyelids began twitching. Beth then gave her the second shot.

Now, all they could do was wait. Bella finally opened her eyes.

Jake spoke. "Bella, stand up." She stood up. "Bella, how do you feel?"

"I feel okay."

"Good. Bella, how about you and I go upstairs and have sex?"

Bella looked aghast. "I don't even know you. Why do you think I would have sex with you? I don't do that sort of thing."

Beth smiled at Jake. A good start. Now to test the two serums. They have conflicting agendas. Jake can tell her to do anything, but the other serum tells her not to be promiscuous. "Bella, please show me your breasts."

Bella started to open the lab coat but then hesitated. She finally opened the coat to reveal her breasts to Jake. She then wrapped herself up again quickly. Good. When Jake doesn't give her the pills, his influence will fade. His initial dose is only intended to last long enough to finish with the patient. It will be flushed with the nano-bots tomorrow. Then she will be on her own.

Beth put her arm around Bella. "Bella, you've done wonderfully. You are a new person."

"What was the old person. I can't remember who I am."

"You will. We will help you regain all your memories. It will take a few days, but you will be your old self then. Now, maybe you show go upstairs to your room, and get some sleep."

Bella nodded and slowly walked up the stairs.

Jake looked at Beth. "Maybe we should follow her."

"I'll do it. I'll put her to bed, and then we can talk."

Jake followed them up the stairs and waited in the living room for Beth.

Beth finally returned. "She is confused, but she will be okay. It will take time for her new personality to come out of her, but it will. I'm convinced her self-loathing is gone. You see how she fought the command to show you her breasts. When your influence is gone, she will be able to set her own standards."

Beth knelt in front of Jake. "You know what I want now. I want an old-fashioned refilling. I'm bored with pills." She unzipped Jake's pants and pulled his dick out. She stared into his eyes as she sucked him off with all the gusto she could muster. Jake finally couldn't hold it any longer and made the deposit she wanted so badly.

When they were finished, they went upstairs to check on Mary and go to bed. When Mary was asleep, they continued what they had started downstairs.

Over the next few days, Beth rebuilt Bella's memories and behaviors, one at a time until she was as close to what Beth hoped she wanted to be.

Finally, Bella was ready to go, but where? "Bella, do you have any place to go?"

Bella thought hard for a second and shook her head. "I don't remember where I'm from. I seem to remember my family throwing me out, but I don't remember why."

Beth looked at Jake and Jake nodded. "Bella, would you like to stay here for a while?"

Bella got excited. "Could I, really? I'd love that. I can help around the house and do things for the two of you. I'd love to help you now."

Beth arranged for Bella to start with some household chores. She set it up with the head of the household staff to train her for light duty around the house.

Jake saw her around the house now every day. He said hello and she was polite and shy.

One day, Bella asked to speak to Beth. "You remember when I showed Jake my breasts?"

"I do."

"That has bothered me since. Why did I do that?"

Beth sat Bella down. "My dear, it was a test. When you came here, you were naked a lot and tried to have sex with every man in the building. We needed to see if that behavior was still in you. The fact that you are asking this question is proof you are now in control of your life. You can now have sex with whomever you choose. You can say no to anyone. Remember, sex is good with someone you are especially attracted to. You will just need to be careful not to jump into a man's bed too soon. You are doing great, Bella. Jake and I are so proud of you."

She went away very happy with herself. Beth knew she would be fine.

The next few months went by quietly. They were getting fewer and fewer calls about "obedience".

The next call surprised even Jake. He thought he had seen everything, but a doctor back east called him to ask about a case.

"Jake, this is Wally Henderson. You remember me?"

"Yeah, bud, how are you doing?"

"I'm okay. I have an interesting case that might be right up your alley."

"What alley is that, I must ask?"

"I remember when you left the company, you went to work on tracking neural pathways of the brain. You still working on that?"

"Some. Now Beth and I are working on addiction. It's really tricky, and we aren't getting very far. What do you have?"

"It's hard to explain. I don't suppose you'd be willing to fly to Cincinnati, would you?"

"Really, flying there. Why can't you just tell me about it?"

"I'm afraid you will need to see for yourself. You'd never believe it if I just told you. How about it?"

"Since you put it like that, I must see what you've got. But you knew that, didn't you?"

"Let's just say, I hoped so. Call me from the airport and I'll pick you up."

"Okay, but I'm bringing Beth."

"No problem."

Jake told Beth. It turned out that Bella and Mary had made a connection. Bella would play with Mary and watch her. They were able to dismiss the nurse. She had nothing to do with Bella always there. Bella's job now was Mary.

"Bella, Beth and I must go away for a couple of days. You can take care of Mary, right?"

"Yes, sir. I'll get her bathed and put her to bed each night. I will make sure she eats her meals. Thank you for trusting me with her. I know how much she means to both of you. You will not be disappointed."

Beth took Bella aside. "Bella, there is one thing we haven't told you about Mary. She normally sleeps with us. You will need to sleep in our bed with her, and she will need to hold your hand or foot until she is asleep. She must be in contact with a person to fall asleep. Can you do that?"

"Yes, ma-am. I'll take good care of her for you."

Beth took Bella to Mary and put Bella's hand out. She took Mary's hand and put it on Bella's hand. "Mary, Jake and I must be gone for a couple of days. Bella is going to sleep with you while we are away. Do you understand? We won't be there, but Bella will. Is that okay with you?"

Mary looked at Beth, then Bella, then back to Beth. "Mary with Bella."

She squeezed Bella's hand and started pulling her down the hall. They waved goodbye to Bella as she was pulled behind Mary.

"I guess we have been replaced." Beth laughed.

Jake kissed Beth. "I'm okay with it. Maybe I can get my Beth back to myself for a change." He kissed her.

The next day they flew to Cincinnati. When they arrived, Wally was waiting for them. "I know this sounds strange, but you must see for yourself. I can't explain it. I don't think you will be able to do anything, but even so, it can't hurt your research to see this."

"Talk about setting the hook. Now I can't wait to see what dragged us to Cincinnati."

When they arrive at his company, he led them deep into the large building. They passed labs, offices, hallways going somewhere. Jake was lost by the time he stopped in front of a large steel door. Jake was surprised. That is not the normal lab door. What could be behind that?"

Wally looked at the two of them. "You ready? Prepare yourself."

He opened the steel door to reveal a small room with a steel cage in the center. In the cage was a slightly built young woman, no more than twenty or twenty-one. What made it different was, she was in a straitjacket, and the straitjacket was chained to each side of the cage. She had a mask over her head with a steel gag in her mouth. All Jake could see was her eyes, but that was enough. Fire flamed out of her eyes, as if she was burning him with a laser.

'What the hell is this?"

Wally nodded. "You don't know the half of it. She has killed several people and maimed many more."

"She looks like a mad dog. I hate to say this, but why hasn't she been put down by now?"

"Two reasons. One, her father is a multi-billionaire, and he owns everything you have seen so far, and much more. This is his research gone wrong. No one knows what has happened here. The families of the ones killed were told of a massive explosion. They have been compensated to the tune of millions each. They were upset, but large sums of money can calm anyone's anger. If you can heal her, the father will pay you more than you can imagine."

"I already have enough money. I have no intention of letting that monster anywhere near Beth."

"I understand. Let's go to my office, and we can look at the details."

He led them to his office. It was a nice, comfortable office. They sat down on his couch, and he brought them binders of pictures and lab work. Beth began pouring through the lab work while Wally showed Jake the pictures of a pretty young girl in a happier time of her life.

Jake looked at Wally and pointed toward the door. Jake followed him to another private office. "I get it, she's pretty and super rich. Who did this to her?"

"I could lie and say it was her father. It was, but I did the test that went very wrong."

"What were you looking to do?"

Beth was standing in the doorway, and she answered. "They were trying to make her be super strong in her original body. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams."

"It didn't take you long to figure it out."

"She's brilliant. That is only one of the reasons I love her." Jake turned to Wally. "What's our choices here?"

Mr. Kudusian, our benefactor, wants his daughter back. He was hesitant to let her do this, but she insisted. She lied to me and told me he had finally agreed. I should have called him to confirm, but she is a very strong-willed woman and wouldn't wait.

"He came in right when she had ripped her restraints apart and began taking his entire security staff apart. I finally got her into a small room by herself and gassed her until she fell. That amount of gas would kill you or me, but she just smiled. I think she was actually surprised when the gas finally took her down. She had ripped all her clothes off in her rage. We managed to put what you see on her before we locked her down. She has been like that ever since. No one will even go into that cage. We will have to do something with her, eventually. I'm hoping you have something that will help."

Beth looked at him. "I will need all the research and an office in which I can work. Jake will give you a list of the items I will need to begin. There will be another list as soon as I can figure out what you gave her, and how to counteract it."

Wally agreed and took her to a lab next to the girl. Jake gave him a list of the ingredients for the Ann serum. She figured that it would be a good place to start. Maybe ten times stronger, but a place to start.

In two days. Beth understood Wally's work. She felt he had used too strong a test serum. He should have built it up a little at a time until he understood the side effects. Now the side effects were all too noticeable.

Wally had given them a nice apartment in the building itself. That night, after they had talked to Mary and Bella to tell them they would be a little longer, they faced each other in bed.

Beth started. "You know, Wally started with a serum that was too strong. We will need to paralyze a good portion of her brain to make it safe to be in there with her. If we freeze the wrong spot, she could die in any of a hundred ways."

"I feel sorry for her, but she brought this on herself. I'd rather kill her now than risk your life. I vote for giving her one of those hundred ways and going home."

"I'm going to start with Ann's prescription, only 100 times stronger. I need a foundation first to work with."

They decided to try and fuck their worries away. It didn't work, but they felt much better after trying.

The next day, Beth drew up what she wanted built to put her in so Beth could safely work on her. It was basically two walls of steel bars, only one foot apart. Just enough room to put her body inside, but not enough for her to move. The straitjacket would be opened, and her arms would be chained to the bars in front of her above her head. Her legs would be spread apart and be chained to the bars and floor. A steel band would be put around her neck and welded to the bars behind her head.

Beth realized this woman was smart enough to not struggle when she was restrained in this manner. That is what makes her so dangerous. She will act all nice and quiet until she decides the restraints have been loosened enough for her to start again.

They had the new cage ready the next day. They had been quick. Maybe they just want her out of their building, whatever. When the new cage had been bolted and welded to the floor and wall, they were ready. Jake told Wally to gas the room until she was out. This time, he told him to use more gas. If she was surprised the first time, she might think she would be able to overcome it this time. Double the strength this time.

"That will kill her."

"Better her than me. If she dies, we are done here. If not, we can work on her safety."

They doubled the gas and filled the room. She began convulsing and shaking. After a couple of minutes, she hung still. Jake was hoping they had succeeded in killing the monster, but no such luck. Her vitals on the monitors were still strong.

"See, you can't kill the bitch."

The strongest men they had unhooked her, dragged her to the new cage. They unfastened her straitjacket to tie her hands up high. Now was the dangerous time. If she was faking, she would use her freedom to kill her captures. She did not. They tied her arms high, her legs low, and welded her head to the bars behind her. That is as strong as they could make it.

They let her hang there until her vitals finally grew stronger. Eventually, they knew she was awake again. Jake could tell by those fiery eyes.

Beth made a safety combination and put it in several bullet cases. She then had the security guards fill their guns and ammo belts with dozens of now lethal bullets. They were instructed to kill her if she got loose again. No hesitation, just shoot her.

Beth had been studying her blood since they arrived. She could see the nano-bots in her blood that were giving her strength. She had to find out why they were not being flushed like hers were.

"Wally, I need to see the rest of your research."

Wally hesitated just long enough for Jake to know he was hiding something. "Wally, you're hiding part of it."

"Only the classified part."

"The part you're hiding is the cause of the problem, but I'm sure you already know that don't you?" He didn't answer. "I'm make this real clear, if Beth doesn't see everything you have, we will be on the next plane out of here. How about you call her father. I need to talk to him in person."

"I don't think he will come."

"Tell him, if he doesn't come, I am putting his daughter down."

"You can't do that."

"Maybe, maybe not, but if he doesn't care enough to even come here and yell at me, we are done here."

Wally left the room to make the call. He was back in a couple of minutes. "He's really pissed. I don't think he is used to being talked to that bluntly."

"It's good for him to face the consequences of his actions, for a change."

"He is coming."

"Fine, even if it is to fire us, he'll be here. I'll be able to tell him to his face the choices he has."

Jake and Beth went back to the office they had been given.

Beth looked at Jake. "You know what they've done? They've found a suppressant that allows the nano-bots to stay in the system. They have fooled the brain into thinking they are supposed to be there."

Jake sat down. "They'll be able to build a mutant army that is superstrong and almost invincible to normal bullets. This is a mess. Anytime mankind develops something, he immediately turns it into a weapon. Oppenheimer regretted building the bomb to the day he died. We can make things, but it always goes right to the most destructive extreme. The only solution now would be for us to kill her and destroy their work. It would take a while before they would try it again on another human."

"We're scientists. We don't destroy; we improve."

"Tell that to all the women we've turned into sex bots for their millionaire husbands. We can rationalize it all we want. At least I did it. You just did what you were told. Whatever happens now is my just desserts."

Three hours later Kasloff Kudusian was standing in Wally's office. He was PISSED. "Who the hell does this man think he is, telling ME what to do?"

Wally was trying to calm him down. "He's the only man that can save your daughter's life. You need to listen to him. Then you can make whatever decision you want." He seemed to calm down with that.

Wally took him to see Jake and Beth. "I understand you can help my daughter."

"There may not be any help for your daughter. This formula is years away from being safe enough to put in a human's body. Your daughter jumped the process on her own. It may cost her life."

Kudusian flared up again but stopped himself in time. "What CAN you do for her?"

"Nothing until we get all the research. Wally has been holding the most important part and refuses to give it to use. Without it, we are finished here."

Kudusian looked at Wally. "Why have you not given it to them?"

"It is classified."

"You'll let my daughter die because of RULES. I'll burn this place down if anything happens to my daughter. I suggest you give them what they need."

Wally looked each of them in the eye and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a large folder. He handed it to Beth. She immediately headed for her office. Jake stayed behind.

"Understand something, Mr. Kudusian, that is no longer your daughter. The nano-bots they put in her are now controlling her. She is a weapon, nothing more, nothing less. They tapped into her anger and gave her super strength. She is the Hulk without a huge, green body. Imagine what the government could do with a thousand of these. The only reason we are here is, they couldn't control what they created. This is the basic weakness of scientists. We always are trying something new. Whether or not we should, never really comes up. Ask Oppenheimer's family. He regretted making the bomb until his dying day." Jake looked at Wally. "Since I don't see any armed military types here, I take it you haven't told the military about this yet."

Wally shook his head. "We weren't building something for them. We were trying to find a way to help the body fight diseases."

Jake shook his head. "The same thing Beth was working on when she had her accident."

"She had an accident?"

"Yeah, but I was able to repair her, thank God." He turned back to Kudusian. "This is years away from being ready to put into humans. Your daughter jumped the shark when she convinced them you had approved her being the first test case. This is why scientists take it one step at a time. Now, we are stuck with two options. Beth finds a way to remove the nano-bots from her body and we destroy this formula, or I'm sorry, Mr. Kudusain, we may have to kill your daughter."

"You can't kill my daughter."

"You understand, if she was standing here in front of you, she'd kill you in a second."

"Please you must find a solution that doesn't include killing my daughter. I'll pay you whatever you want."

"I already have all the money I will ever need. However, if we succeed in liberating her and giving her life back to her, I want this research burned. Mankind is obviously not able to handle the power of nano-bots yet."

Jake saw Wally shudder when he said that. He didn't care. They don't know enough yet. They can't let preliminary research fall into the hands of the military. Imagine what the CIA would do with this. The very thought gave Jake a chill to his core.

Jake went to find Beth. He suggested Kudusian stick around a while.

Beth was deep into her computer and the paper was flying as she made note after note. Jake rubbed her shoulders when he got there. "How are we doing, honey? You have any clue how they did it?"

"Maybe. It appears they just blocked the entire command function of the brain. They literally turned her into a robot. A robot in which they accidentally tied her anger response to. This is what I must do. I must make a formula that will liberate her brain, so it can remove the nano-bots from her blood. I also need to suppress her overactive anger response so she can calm down. Right now, it is like a fire that is burning inside her that she can't control."

"See, you figured it out already? What could go wrong?"

Jake bent down to kiss her, but Beth slapped him lightly on the cheek. "That's the only reason you keep me around, just to fix your problems."

Jake reached down and took her hand. "You know that isn't true. I have noticed that you are missing something." He held her hand up. "You are missing a ring on this finger. I think it is about time we fix that, don't you?"

She was taken completely by surprise. Before she could respond to that, he continued. "Now, I know you have to do what I tell you, but in this case, I release you from that and give you permission to answer of you own free will. Will you marry me?"

Beth was happy he added that little note. She would have married him without the formula dictating her decisions but it was good he gave her the choice. "Of course, I'll marry you. What took you so long?"

She pulled him down to her level and kissed him hard. He sat on the couch and pulled her over to him. He pulled her down on his lap, and they just enjoyed the feelings of the inevitable finally coming to fruition.

Beth got up. "I'm sure we will celebrate this soon enough and often enough later. Right now, I have two formulas to write."

She worked late into the night. She had her own basic research. She mostly knew what they had done. She now knew how they had overruled the brain. She just had to reverse that process and protect the brain from the nano-bots there that would attempt to stop her. She finally decided to put her into a cryo-therapy chamber to slow her entire system down. Having her entire system slowed down might give her time to inject the new formula directly into her brain. If she could clear the brain of the nano-bots in it, the brain may have the time to begin cleaning the blood as it cycled through. It should also have enough strength to keep new nano-bots in the blood from re-infecting the brain. At least, she hoped it would. Controlling the anger was a simpler task. As long as Wally's nano-bots don't interfere, she would be able to reprogram the brain and put the fire out in her anger sensors.

A day later, everyone gathered in a conference room where Beth explained her theory.

Kudusain listened carefully and quietly. Jake was impressed. He finally spoke. "Does this mean you may be able to save my daughter?"

"I'm saying there is a chance, yes. Wally, I will need you to give me a lab where I can work on producing what I need."

We can do that. We can also help you with it."

Jake jumped in. "Not on your life. The minute this is done, one way or another, everything here will be burned. There will be no notes, and there will be no help for her. She will be alone as she works. Anything she needs, I will get it for her from you, understand?"

Wally nodded. He knew he still had his research.

Beth had been careful not to tell him how she was going to do this. She knew he'd try to replicate it on his own, but she knew it would take him years to hit the correct notes in a brain. She had been working on this for many years, and even for her, this was a trial by error procedure. "I don't suppose you have a chimpanzee around here, do you?"

Wally looked taken aback. "What, do you want us to infect it with our formula, and then hope yours reverses it?"

"That's exactly what I want to do. I am not testing anything on her until I know I have a chance. If I kill a monkey, it would be unfortunate, but we wouldn't have a billionaire ready to make our misery his new life's work."

"Okay, I'll find you a chimpanzee. We made Hulk, I guess King fucking Kong can be next.'

For the next couple of days, Beth worked on her two formulas. The anger one was easy. It was the same basic formula she made for everyone else, just with the specifics being different. She did make it a little stronger. She wouldn't give that to her until after the first one was set.

By the time she was ready, they had their chimp. They had built a miniature version of the cage for it. When they had it securely bound, Wally injected a smaller dose of his formula into the chimp. It only took ten minutes for the chimp to become very agitated. His hands could bend the bars they were attached to. Fortunately for them, the bars did hold.

Beth wanted to wait until the chimp settled down. He needed to be completely under the control of the nano-bots. The resistance had to be over before she could try hers.

By fifteen minutes, the chimp was calm, but the fire in his eyes was there. He was now a miniature King Kong.

He wasn't moving as Beth entered the room, but his eyes followed her every step. She could see pure anger and hatred in those smoldering eyes. She gave him the injection and beat it out of there.

Now they wait. An hour later, the fire was still there. However, his head was hanging down a little. At least he was still alive. The shot hadn't killed him. Two hours in he finally lifted his head and looked at them. The fire appeared to be gone, but how do you know.

They had a man with a gun loaded with Beth's bullets looking down at him from the catwalk above the cage. They put a couple of mannequins in the room to see how he reacted to "people".

When Beth gave the signal, they remotely released him. When he was free, he began pounding his chest and walking around. Fairly normal behavior for chimpanzees. He finally noticed the mannequins and walked over to them. He smelled them, looked around for something else, and headed to the table in the back. There were a few things on the table. He began picking them up and looking at them.

Jake finally said what everyone was thinking. Is he "cured" or just not threatened at the moment? They would have to threaten him in order to find out what he was capable of. They discussed their options. Finally, it was decided someone would have to go in there so the chimp would have an actual target.

Beth pointed out that it takes a day to remove her nano-bots, and she was pretty sure it would take at least that long for the chimp to have everything flushed out of him. They left guards to watch him and went back to their rooms for the night.

Beth couldn't sleep and went down to look in on the chimp. He was sleeping quietly in the bed they had put there. Good news. He was resting and calm. That would help his brain do its job.

The next morning, they gathered back at the room. Kudusian was there also. Time to pick a volunteer.

Jake had no intention of being that target, and Beth was out of the question. Finally, Wally knew it had to be him. This was his problem. He never should have believed the girl, and he knew it. He would have to test the chimp.

They put a police dog suit on him. It would at least give him a couple of seconds. That would be all the time the shooter would have to save him if it came down to that.

When he went through the door, the chimp stopped what it was doing and stared at him. Everyone froze for just a second. At least the fire wasn't in his eyes. The chimp stood up on his back legs and pounded his chest. Beth spoke through the intercom. "Wally don't look in his eyes. Divert your eyes. Looking directly into his eyes is considered a threat." Wally got down on his knees and didn't look at the chimp. The chimp stopped beating his chest and stood looking at Wally.

Now was the decision time. Would the chimp just ignore him, walk up to him calmly, or attack him?

After a couple of minutes, the chimp walked up to Wally and took his hand. Wally stood up and the chimp jumped into his arms. Everyone watching started screaming and hollering. The chimp became frightened and ran for its bed. Beth headed into the room with a banana. She gave it to him, and he began eating it happily.

"I guess you can return him to wherever you found him. He seems perfectly normal to me." Beth was watching the chimp eat his banana.

She asked Wally to get a sample of his blood for her to test.

When she ran the test, she found no nano-bots remaining in his blood. His anger seemed to be gone. She had to remind Wally to tell the people he had gotten him from that he would no longer be able to be with other chimps. He would not have the anger needed to defend himself against normal chimp behavior. Beth wasn't sure how to start a behavior she had removed back at a controlled level. Something else she could work on in her lab.

Everyone re-convened in the conference room.

Kudusain was ready. "We can give that to Else and she will be fine, no?"

"It's a little early for that, but now we have hope. I will need a new blood sample from her so I can test the proportions."

Wally didn't like that idea at all. "We'll have to gas her again. No one is going into that room with her conscious."

"Fine. I need to correlate the strength of the chimp's nano-bots before to that of hers. I hope that will give me the strength to use on her."

They gassed her and waited. She finally dropped her head after a couple of hours. Beth went in, got her sample and left. She didn't move.

Beth spent the rest of that day and into the night working on a shot for her. She already had the shot for her anger issues. Now she could make the shot for her nano-bots.

By the next day, Beth was ready. She was staring at them again with those fiery eyes. Now it was time for cryotherapy.

Over the last week, they had a chamber for it brought in and someone to operate it. He told them he could take her down to -400 for up to four minutes. He wasn't happy when Beth told him they would need at least six minutes. He was afraid she would be permanently damaged if they waited that long. They compromised on five minutes, but he was still unhappy.

The chamber was larger than the ones anyone could go to and step into. It had to be large enough to hold the wrapped steel cage she had to be put into.

When they were ready, they gassed her again. While she was out, they carefully put her into the smaller, insulated steel cage that would fit into the chamber. They then had to wait for her to wake up again. When she did, she was furious, and the cryotherapy man understood their problem. She was trying to rip this cage apart as best as she could. They pushed her into the chamber quickly, and he began cooling her down. When she reached -300, she was still. She appeared awake, but calmer. After one minute, he opened a small door at the top and Beth injected her in the neck with the serum where they had inserted an injection site. They then closed the door and took her to -400. They waited for another five minutes. The technician was getting nervous, but he had seen her anger and allowed them to wait a little longer than he normally would. After the first minute and the five minutes, Beth had her six minutes, and they began warming her up.

When she was almost back to her normal body temperature, Beth gave her the anger shot. They took her small cage out of the machine and left her standing in the middle of the room in her small cage. She was quiet, almost asleep. She didn't move for over an hour. When she finally began moving, she opened her eyes and looked around in terror. She saw her father and cried out. "Daddy, what happened to me? Why am I in this cage?"

Everyone cheered. They scared her to death with all the jubilation in the room.

Beth came up in front of her. "Else, are you Else?" She nodded. She was shivering. "Good. My name is Beth, and I think you're going to be okay now. What do you remember about the last several weeks?"

"I don't know."

"It's okay. There will be plenty of time later. First, I need a little blood, and I need you to perform a little test for me, if you don't mind?"

She nodded and Beth took her blood sample. They then opened a small door at her hand level so she could put her hand out.

Beth handed her a steel can. "Else, I need you to crush this can, please."

She took it but looked unsure. "I can't crush that can. It is too thick."

Beth smiled. "Okay, give me a few minutes to test your blood. Your father can talk to you while I do it."

She turned her head toward her father, "Daddy, why am I here in my underwear?"

"It's a long story. We'll get you a blanket as soon as the test is done."

Beth was back in a few minutes with the news. "There are no nano-bots in her blood now. She appears normal. I think you can release her now."

Nobody moved until Jake unfastened the latches and opened the cage. He helped her out into the room and her father handed her a blanket.

Jake stood in front of her and tried to get her to concentrate on what he was saying. "I'm sorry, but for now, you will need to stay in a cell until all the tests have been completed. It should only be a day or so. I'm sorry, but we have no choice."

She just nodded, groggily. They led her to the first cage she was in. It was the one she had destroyed the first time. They had repaired it, and it was only a normal prison cell now. She sat down on the cot with her father, and they began talking.

By the next day, Beth could confirm her anger issues had been resolved, and there were no nano-bots still in her system. She was cleared.

That afternoon, everyone gathered back together. This included a well-dressed Else. She was a beautiful woman.

Jake started the conversation. "Now that Else is back, (he nodded to her) we must decide what we do with the research. Mr. Kudusian, I recommend you burn it all. We are not ready to make robots out of people, and we don't have the sophistication to handle the responsibility."

Wally was not happy. "We don't have to through the baby out with the bath water. We now know we are not close. We will need quite a while."

"I know you're not going to stop, no matter what I say. You must be more careful with your protocols."

Kudusian smiled at his daughter and then Jake. "Thank you for saving my daughter's life. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Jake didn't want anything for him, but there was no need to insult the man. "If there is, I'll call you, is that okay?"

"Fine, I'll give you my private phone number." He gave Jake a card and everyone went their own way.

When Jake and Beth got home, Beth began telling everyone they were getting married. Ann, Dave's wife, who was now her best friend since Mary's surgery, was excited. Another wedding to plan. Jake knew this was going to be an event if left up to the two of them. He was okay with whatever they wanted to do.

Seeing what can happen to someone if this technology is left unchecked, Jake decided to stop everything except what could help someone.

The wedding was at the house. Most of the local town was there, and it was a party. Bella taught Mary how to walk down the aisle and Ann was Beth's maid of honor. When everything was done, and everyone was relaxing after the party, Jake and Dave sat on his balcony overlooking the ranch and the valley below.

Jake laughed with Dave. "Do you believe how far we have come since we treated Ann? I have always felt guilty about what we did to her."

"No need. I would have divorced her long ago if she hadn't changed. I have devoted my life to making her happy, even if she didn't originally choose this path, I believe she is happy."

They toasted their wives. They both loved them completely.
