"I think we should just let Thalia contact her friend in Boston," Dean finally said. "We can send him the sample--"

"No," Tatum interrupted. "We can't let the sample out of our sight. If we're going to have it tested in Boston, at least one of us will go there."

"I just went there," Thalia said. "Franco won't help unless I personally plead with him. He won't trust any of you, even if you use my name."

Tatum didn't look the slightest bit pleased about the idea of sending her to Boston alone. Neither did Dean, who turned to her with a frown. "You can't go anywhere without backup, Doc." Dean said and turned to Tatum. "If she goes there, I'll go with her."

"Project Taurus?" Thalia repeated.
