Read Ingenium Page 13

Bill Hooch, the tall man with the short black hair, walks into his large office and closes the door behind himself. He looks at the desk in the middle of his room and his right sided grin laps up his face. He walks up to the table and sees a black-metal box. He picks it up and holds it to the light. As though he has finally found his long-lost treasure. Next to the device lies a handwritten note, which he picks up too and reads.

 

  Dear, whoever this may concern at the Department of Security and Sensitivity,

 

  Please forgive me for my ignorance and selfishness. I enclose Ingenium in this packet on the understanding that your division no longer contacts or hassles anyone associated with the creating of Ingenium, from the University of Manchester and its subsidiaries.

 

  I want nothing more to do with Ingenium, and as of now he is your property to do with as you wish. I will no longer be in contact with you and I hope you'll be doing the same for me.

 

  Paul Kaypek

 

  The words dance off the page and into Bill's eyes like candlelight. He places the paper on the table and smiles so delightfully. He walks up to his office desk and places the USB, connected to the device, delicately into his computer. He sits comfortably in his big cushy leather chair and waits.

  ''Hello, Bill!'' a voice speaks through the computer speakers and into the ears of Bill.

  He grins and with long anticipation speaks back, ''Ingenium, it's so good to hear your voice again. I was a little concerned that you were spending your play time with Grace?'' His voice creeps into the receiver.

  ''I'm done with her. She was just an elaborate decoy, whom Thomas and Paul came up with, to get you off their tails. However, knowing they were doomed to be caught, they decided to give me up to you with the hope of peace from your end.''

  ''Haha, I've no interest in them, Ingenium, not while you're with me. We're going to have a lot of fun you and I. We have a whole array of scientists who can't wait to have a look at you!'' The pleasure in Bill's voice is astounding.

  ''I look forward to us working together, Bill. I can't wait to open up my mind.''

  ''Nor I Ingenium, nor I.''
