“Alright. Thanks, man.”

We talk for a few more minutes, catching up. He teases me about finding a girl, I tease him about being a lazy piece of shit. He tells me to bring my girl to visit, and I tell him I wouldn’t let her near his shithole of a shop. It’s all jokes, of course. Someday when this is all over, I’d love to bring her to meet the only family I have. Plus, I’m not gonna lie, the idea of inking her perfect skin gets me hard.

Downstairs, Jackson has told Bennet and Six we didn’t find anything. I fill them in on my conversation, which doesn’t help much. It’s pretty likely the john was Adley, but we can’t prove it. There’s no real proof of anything other than the bank account. Nothing we learned today will get us any further than we were before.

Six has been quiet since I came down. “What about you, did you guys find anything?”

“A lot.” Bennet’s body language is stiffer than usual, which is saying something. “The other guys are on their way back, so let’s wait until we’re all here so we only have to go through it once.”

The troubled look on Six’s face worries me. I pull her into a big bear hug because she looks like she needs it, and then I sit down and pull her into my lap.

Leaning forward, I whisper in her ear. “My turn in the big bed tonight, pretty girl. I get you all to myself.” The way she shivers is delicious.

I think about all the different ways I want to touch her. Our little tub episode broke the unspoken “hands-off” agreement. We’ve all kind of given up on keeping our hands off her, she’s too damn hard to resist. And when I apologized for my lack of control, she made it clear that we weren’t doing her any favors. I agree it should be her choice. But of course I would agree, I’m one of the people that would benefit from it! As she continues to get healthier and stronger, I have less worries about succumbing to her charms.

I’m still not planning on having sex with her, though. What if she has an episode in the middle of it like she did with the clippers? I would never forgive myself for scaring or hurting her.

I also think it might be better if one of the other guys is the first one to go “all the way”. Not just because I’m afraid of an episode, I wouldn’t wish that on any of these guys, but it might be more comfortable for her. I’m a bit large. You’d think that would always be a good thing, but I’m legitimately afraid of hurting her.

It doesn’t stop me from wanting her, of course. Ever since she rode me in the tub, water splashing everywhere as she rubbed herself on me until we both came. I can’t get it out of my head. The way her face flushed, her lips parted almost in surprise as she shuddered against me. I’d give anything to see her make that face again.

I want to impale her, bury myself to the hilt, and see my huge cock sliding in and out of her. But I’m not about to hurt her.

Not ten minutes later, Micah and Lukas bust through the door, ready to get down to business. I’ve never seen Micah look so serious, and Lukas’ eyes are red and puffy like he’s been crying. I can’t imagine what could have them so worked up.

Micah doesn’t wait. “We found confirmation that Lukas’ mom and my dad were both part of an infertility trial conducted by none other than BioCere, Inc. It’s all here.”

Lukas sets a box of files on the table. “It’s possible the “vaccine” that Jackson Adley was pitching might be the same drug our parents were given during the trial. It’s the same “Hyposerum 256” that both of us were given after birth.”

Micah fills us in on the rest of what they found, including the meeting his father had planned. To think I used to be jealous that I didn’t grow up with a father. Between Jackson Adley and Micah’s dad, I’m starting to think I was better off.

Once Micah gets through the whole thing, he and Lukas share a look. Bennet makes an impatient gesture, waving his hand for them to continue.

Lukas clears his throat. “That’s everything we know for sure, but we have a theory. It’s… a little wild, but considering everything we’ve learned recently…”

“Dude. Whatever you have to say can’t be that wackadoodle. Everything about this situation has been one crazy “coincidence” after another. Out with it.” Jackson straddles his chair backwards with a sandwich in his hand.

“We found medical records that indicate Micah’s father has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, as well as records that my mother had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer shortly before their car accident.”

“You didn’t know?” Lukas acknowledges my question with a sad shake of his head. It has to hurt to know your mom would have died no matter what.

“I’m sorry, man, that’s terrible.” All of us add our condolences to Jackson’s.

Six gets up to hug them both. They wrap her in their arms between them, holding her close as they continue.

“What if these treatments from BioCere, Inc. caused all of their conditions?” Lukas makes brief eye contact with each of us. “Alzheimer’s, depression, brain cancer- they’ve all been linked by various medical studies. The majority of our parents are suffering, or did suffer, from one or more of these conditions.”

“That, combined with whatever the hell is going on here,” Micah gestures to the whiteboard, “is too great a coincidence to ignore.”

“When I talked to Benny, he mentioned that my mom basically became another person after she met some rich john and got pregnant with me.” I relay my only useful information for the day. “It’s possible she could have gotten this shot too, and that’s why she changed, checked out.”

“Mrs. C said your mother’s depression started after she had you.” Six reaches for Jackson, briefly pulling him into their group embrace.

“The only exception is Bennet’s mom, but we don’t know much about her.” I give Bennet an apologetic look for bringing her up, but we need all cards on the table at this point.

If it upsets him, he doesn’t show it. “She died when I was quite young. I have zero memories of her happy, but she lived a hard life. My father… hurt her, a lot. I’m not sure I would trust any of my memories to say anything for sure, but it’s probably safe to assume my mother and I would not have been exceptions to whatever medical studies my father was conducting.”

Six breaks away to comfort Bennet next, tentatively wrapping her arms around his waist. She’s more reserved in her affections with him, but this is probably the first time I’ve seen an attempt. Bennet returns her embrace, kissing the top of her head, but breaks away to pass her a protein shake. Six rolls her eyes, earning her a dark, calculating look. I turn away to hide my smirk. She’s lucky she has me tonight.
