Chapter 1: A Chance Encounter
A Chance Encounter
Genevieve stood at the intersection of two barren streets, waiting. The sun was setting, and the air was starting to chill -- a reminder of how long the day had been. She was dressed in jeans, an overcoat and a scarf, waiting for the lights to change.
Suddenly, a man dressed in a lab coat and carrying a briefcase came hurrying through the intersection. He paid her no heed as he scurried past, but when Genevieve called out his name, he spun around.
“Dr. Bellamy!” She called out, her voice thick with surprise.
“Genevieve!” He gasped, equally shocked.
The light turned to green, and Dr. Bellamy motioned for Genevieve to follow him. As they walked, the scientist talked.
“I have an offer for you. Can we talk somewhere more private?”
Agree to follow Dr. Bellamy.
