  As Jill turned to walk back to her quarters to get out of her running clothes she spotted a young gamma clone standing silently watching her and her officers. She had seen him with Kellogg a couple of times. He seemed to be a courier for Kellogg’s team. The young bio reported to Lady Hawthorne once or twice a week.

  “Who is that?” Jill asked seeing the very handsome young bioboy.

  “Now! Now!” Rhonda who was walking with them as they cooled down said. “I saw him first.”

  “She did,” Mitch injected, as the young man walked over to them.

  “Will you be able to get away tonight,” the young man asked.

  “Yes,” Rhonda answered, “But not to get off the grounds, I don’t have duty, but the Marshal has restricted us to the grounds it is getting too dangerous for us.”

  “I’ll see you later then,” the young clone said as he left.

  “Nice catch,” Jill replied seeing Rhonda blush a bit.

  “He is at that,” Rhonda replied. She would never make her date with Stephen.
