Chapter 1 He arrived precipitously to his house in the middle of the torrential downpour that fell at that time of night in London. Mrs. McAlister, the babysitter, came out to meet him smiling as always to tell him that the boy had already fallen asleep, while she began to grab her things to go home. Dr. Hansen gave her barely a glance as he left his wet raincoat on the floor and was rushed to the library there on the second floor. Mrs. McAlister was surprised by his attitude and asked him what was happening.“I don’t have time to explain. Thank you for coming, Mrs. McAlister”, the doctor told her as he walked into the library and began to rummage through the drawers of his desk. “As always, your payment was transferred to your account this morning. I won’t need you for the rest of the week. Now it’s better if you leaves, and the faster the better.”Mrs. McAlister hesitated for a few seconds, still puzzled,

Dr. Julius Hansen told his friend everything he had done to carry out the "assignment", which was to achieve a clone of Jesus of Nazareth. Of course, his first reaction when he was made the proposal was flatly refuse the idea, because human cloning is strictly prohibited, but his scientific curiosity and attraction to the unknown made him change his mind, and he agreed to do so secretly, thinking that he might not achieve his purpose because of the complex of the process and because had never been attempted before. For this, he needed to disguise his actions with those of an ethically possible research related to the topic. He told him that he obtained the support of his laboratory located in Berkeley, California, introducing to the board the beginning of a research related to the duplication or cloning of human organs, with the intention of eliminating those factors that cause somehow they fail or sick, and achieve transplant them to the affected patient, eliminating the damaged on

John’s Dodge Charger was the four-door model. David was driving and beside him Dr. Hansen was watching the highway in silence. Joseph was lying in the back seat, asleep. It had long since they had taken the route to Manhattan, and approaching the Williamsburg Bridge on the East River. David couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened at John’s house, and no matter how hard he tried to justify himself, he couldn’t stop thinking about the man who had taken his life. Somehow he thought that war and death would no longer be part of his life, and there he was again, killing for a cause he still didn’t fully understand. All he knew was that if he hadn’t taken that man’s life, everyone, even himself, would be dead at that time. He thought of Joseph, and a small apex of consolation reached his soul when he thought that he had at least saved an innocent child from a death that according to that sinister man was certain. He looked at Dr. Hansen. He

After the incident with the concrete truck, Mark and Doris went back to the scientist’s house and looked for more neighbors who had witnessed the incident. An old woman told them that she had heard the gunshots and immediately looked out a window, and a few seconds later saw two men and a boy left the scientist’s house and boarded a car, leaving the scene in a hurried way.“Did you see what those men and the boy were like?” Doris asked her. “Were they white? Colored?”“They were all white,” the old woman said. “One of the men was younger than the other, and the boy was small, about four or five years old.”“You’re a good observer, and you also have a good memory,” Mark said. “Anything else you remember?”The old woman made a gesture of annoyance, it seemed that the words of that detective rather than praise, offended her.“I’m an old woman, detecti

The "Senile Brigade," as Henry jokingly told his friends, had left with those two guys in the trunk of a convertible Oldsmobile to teach them a lesson. Henry and his wife, Joanna, convinced Hansen a David to stay with them in their apartment to spend the night and continue on their way to the airport the next day. Hansen was worried that those who were persecuting them would also find them there, since they knew they had gone to the business of the elders and would soon find out where they lived to look for them there. Henry explained that there would be no problems there, since the apartment where they were was his daughter’s husband, and they had gone about five years ago to Argentina. Their home was located in Queens and, although they are living there permanently, that afternoon they had decided to go to their daughter's apartment precisely to avoid being located by those who were looking for them.But he was wrong, because they were able to locate them, but they we
