Maribel Becomes Mom's Long-Lost Sister

Her eyes flew wide as if in panic, "What? No! Of course not! Oh, Timmy, there's nothing I love more than being your mother. I love you and your father. Forever and always. I just admire things about Maribel wish I had some of her… well, just some of her fire in me."

I nodded. "So, what do we do about Rafael? If we can't turn him loose without him becoming a danger to others… I imagine he'd be specifically upset with us, blaming us for betraying him."

"Yes. I don't know. It's not his fault… I shouldn't have promised… Maribel shouldn't have promised to support him as President."

"If I may?" Joe's voice cut into our conversation.

"You have an idea?" I asked him.

"Perhaps." He said, "I could create an android in Maribel's likeness and run her with a simulated personality, independently from Susan Bailey."
