JP - ALL of Canestone's DNA

Kiana sighed. “Let’s go get grilled about this bastard’s clone so we can get looking for Herbert.”

Gelf nodded, groaning slightly. She really didn’t want to learn anything about a Canestone clone.

Sorley gently squeezed Gelf’s hand. “Hopefully we can help them catch him faster.”

“C’mon.” Kiana said.

Gelf nodded again and followed them to where they would be briefed about the accursed Canestone clones.

Sorley did not like how it sounded like the clone they met was not the same clone that escaped the facility, meaning there were two of them on the loose. He wrapped an arm around Gelf. “Let’s go home.”

“Yeah, let's get home…” Gelf looked at Kiana. “Wanna go home?”

“Yeah. The sooner we get home the sooner we can go out searching for Herbert.” Kiana felt tired but knew there would not be time to rest when she got home. She wanted to go after Herbert before his trail could go cold… Not end up like Evie, missing for years.

Gelf nodded and left the underground with her and Sorley. Once outside, she reached for their hands.

Sorley gave Gelf’s hand an affectionate squeeze, looked at her, then looked away blushing. Kiana rolled her eyes and took Gelf’s other hand.

“Oh, hey, wait!” Seele’s voice came from behind them.

Turning, Gelf frowned at the tattoo artist. “What is it?” She asked.

“I was hopin’ I could talk to ya three fer a bit before ya left.” She said with a smile. “I know yer probably gearin’ ta get home, but there’s some stuff I wanna show ya three before ya go.”

“Oh… I guess.” Kiana said, impatient to go find Herbert, but she let go of Gelf’s hand.

Sorley of course got to keep holding Gelf’s hand.

“Yer aware there are two Canestone clones, right?” Seele asked as she found her laptop and set it down, opening it. “Well, I felt a need ta do a bit more diggin’ and with both Delilah’s and Mark’s help…I found a way we might be able to destroy that monster’s DNA permanently!”

“Permanently? You’re not kill his children, are you?” Gelf asked, holding Sorley close and pulling Kiana back toward her. They were her family and no one was gonna take them away!

“No, of course not,” Seele waved a hand. “But there is a way to get to the labs holdin’ it. If ya can convince James Brown ta help ya, a good fire might help.”

Sorley wrapped his arms around Gelf looking at Seele’s laptop. “It would be good to make sure they can’t clone him again after the clones they already made are taken care of.”

“Hopefully all the DNA is there.” Kiana looked disgusted. “From what I read in Clonestone’s file they had a LOT of his DNA… so much of it.”

“If we keep talking about his DNA, I might just vomit…” Gelf grumbled.

"That time Tzeitel was drunk and told us about tracking him with Klaire she said… there was a lot of tissues. Floor was literally wall to wall tissues." Kiana said in disgust. "His DNA is everywhere."

Sorley rubbed Gelf's back.

“Ewww…” Gelf muttered.

“Yeah. Tzeitel says she burned all the clothes she wore there.” Kiana said.

"I understand why." Gelf replied and sighed. "Can we go?"

"Oh, sorry! Yes!" Seele said with a small laugh. "Take care, ya three."

"Thanks." Kiana said.

Sorley touched Gelf's shoulder. "Did you want to say bye to Yule before we go?"

“Sure, though…I don’t know if she even really wants me around to be honest.” Gelf admitted.

"Things used to be really awkward between Sorley and me." Kiana pointed out. "It can get better."

Sorley nodded. "Do you know where she's going? What she's going to do?" He was concerned for Gelf's sister, she had been through hell and was pregnant.

“I guess I can ask her that,” Gelf explained calmly and headed for the room Yule and company were sitting in.
