go back to where it all began

Claire sat on the bus and put her hands to her face, she had done it again, first with Steve and now with a passerby, she had hoped that having had sex twice with the other Claire that morning would have curbed her sexual urges but it hadn't been like that.

is it now? would that guy have transformed like Steve? maybe he didn't get infected, after all he hadn't confirmed how Steve had become a sexy copy of him. Claire didn't even know if she should tell the other Claire, after all they had gotten together a few hours ago and now he has already cheated on her. No first she would have found out something about the disease, she had to be rational and not be stopped by assumptions yet to be confirmed.

time passed quickly and Claire got off the bus, the stop was a few hundred meters from the lab.

I didn't meet anyone until she reached the toll booth at the entrance to the company.

the guard an overweight Mexican was sitting inside the guardhouse, seeing her arrive he greeted her.

Guard: Miss Claere, you weren't marked as sick since yesterday, how are you?

Claire: em not very well.

Claire wondered why the man's waving fat looked so hypnotically sexy, fortunately he still had control of himself.

Claire: yesterday I had an unexpected event in the lab and I need to fix something quickly.

Pedro: Sad also several of my relatives happened to work sick. I will mark your entry as passing through because he forgot something yesterday, so there should be no problem.

Claire: thank you.

after which Claire hurried to enter the company offices.

she managed not to be seen by the reception and entered the lab where the accident had occurred, they hadn't even locked the door but left a sheet of paper stuck with the words decontaminate.

Claire went to the research computer and double-checked the data finding the original notes from the German lab.

Flu sample 3, acquired in Germany (East) 1995 from a research center in the town of Halle.

sample information: classified code 83267, modified influenza virus, designated researcher Yurghe Alfonse.

warning: the virus modified for research purposes is extremely contagious through exchanges of body fluids, the virus is intended for destruction treat with caution.

Claire noted what were effectively 3 important points.

1st the File was censored, so not even the company itself knew all aspects of the virus.

2nd contagion through exchanges of body fluids? Doesn't that mean that exchanges of blood and sex also spread the disease?

3rd the name of the researcher, perhaps doing a search could get some idea.

fuck then probably that guy in the alley is infected now.

she was searching on the computer again if the company had done anything else with the virus...

operation performed

1 virus culture, 8 samples produced, 1 used.

1 test performed, test interrupted due to accident.

shit, was hers the first test on the sample? she wouldn't have found anything here, her attention focused on the remaining 7 samples of virus grown evaluating if it was possible to subtract one to investigate on her own.

she looked for the codes of the samples, they were in a nearby cold room but it is closed with an electronic lock and as an intern she didn't have the card, at that moment she only had an idea, a stupid idea, she would seduce one of the researchers to give her the key.
