“Better me than you. I used it to bring back Renny, which made it possible for you to be here. I’m glad I had it.” Frank raised his palms to the sky. “But I need it to be gone. My demise will be temporary. An hour, a day, a week?”

“I won’t do it,” Vaughn said. “Even were the means perfected, I am an old man. My skills are lacking.”

“I doubt that. You’re a genius.” All scientists had egos, Frank knew. He decided to play on Vaughn’s. “What you can do…What you have…You called my Liam a miracle. Yes. A miracle you had a hand in.”
