Installment 13
Rosemary was having her routine sonogram it seemed Dr. Hall was doing one every week now.
Dr. Hall: Hmm....
Rosemary: Does the baby look alright doctor?
Dr. Hall: Yes of course Rosemary everything is fine. You can go ahead and get dressed and the Nurse will give you your prescription for you prenatal vitamins since the others upset your stomach. Ok?
Rosemary: umm..ok doctor.
Captain Hall exited the room straight for the office where he shut the door and made a call.
Colonel Beal: Yes Colonel Beal here.
Captain Hall: Colonel this is Captain Hall here...I need an emergency meet with the Lt. General Sir.
Colonel Beal: Ok.......is it something I can handle or is this sensitive?
Captain Hall: Sir I'm afraid it's sensitive.
Colonel Beal: Good enough come in this afternoon the Lt. General will be here.
Captain Hall: Thank you Sir!
Rosemary: Nurse do you think the Doctor saw something wrong on my sonogram?
He seemed surprised and kept doing it over and over.
Nurse: Ms. Woodhouse don't worry if he would have seen anything wrong he would have told you.
Rosemary: I guess you're right.
Later that afternoon she went to see Luis and they spent the day in bed her doctor appointments coincided with his days off and this is usually how they spent them.
Rosemary: Luis I'm worried about the baby!
Luis: Why?
Rosemary: The doctor has been doing a lot of sonograms and he is very quiet he hardly talks to me at all during them it's almost like something is bothering him lately about them.
Luis: Did he say anything was wrong with the baby?
Rosemary: No he says everything looks good and is normal.
Luis: Rose then you have to trust him and stop worrying then.
Rosemary: I guess your right.
Just then the phone rang Luis got up to answer.
Luis: Rose it's for you it's Ali he says it's very important.
Rosemary: Hello?
Ali: Rosemary are you sitting down?
Rosemary: Why Ali whats going on?
Ali: Rosemary you are a very rich lady some guy came in said he was buying for his boss to furnish a mansion and well.......he bought everything!
Rosemary: Everything?
Ali: EVERYTHING! the store is empty Rose he paid retail! and CASH!
Rosemary: What?
Ali: The store is empty he just bought our whole collection he took everything and paid cash. At first I was suspicious who the hell has cash anymore but his money is good I deposited half of it and checked all the bills with the counterfiet bill scanner.
Rosemary: Wow! bought everything!
Rosemary: Who is this guy Ali?
Ali: Beats me! He has a strange voice and sort of strange shifty eyes also a weird accent sort of sounds Arab but they guy is not middle eastern he looks more like maybe European. Dunno doesn't matter everything is gone and as soon as you tell me what to do with all this cash I'm going to book a flight to Pakistan maybe India too we need to restock we are sold out and have no merchandise.
Rosemary: How long will you be gone Ali?
Ali: Well in order to find good stuff you need to give me at least two months. I will take 10% of this that will be plenty to pay for the trip and buy restock as well.
Rosemary: OK Ali give it to me how much did we make?
Ali: Rose he paid 400% mark up you made a million dollars honey!
Now you can relax at home let me shop overseas just have your baby and let the money take care of you!
Rosemary was in shock! This meant she could stay home with the baby the bills would be taken care of and when Ali got back with the new stock he could handle things for awhile or at least until she had weaned the baby give or take six months.
Colonel Beal: Captain I know you were reporting directly to Major Roberts and Major Jones but just because they are awol doesn't mean you can bother the Lt. General with BS Understand soldier? This better be important.
Captain Hall: Yes Sir I understand this is important.
Colonel Beal: Alright then let me tell her you are here.
Colonel Beal: Madam? Captain Hall is here.
Lt. General Merrell: Paul....have the conference room swept for bugs I will meet him there.
Colonel Beal: Madam it was swept this morning.
Lt. General Merrell: Paul! do it again! and also have Captain Hall swept I will wait in the conference room.
Colonel Beal: Yes Madam!
Colonel Beal did not like having his ass chewed by the brass so he made sure it was ultra-wept and that Hall was squeaky clean of bugs too.
Lt. General Merrell: At ease Captain! Please sit down. You have my full attention.
Captain Hall: Yes Madam. I would have normally gone thru Major Roberts with this information but being he and Major Jones are AWOL I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to break rank but I felt this information too sensitive to release to anyone but yourself Lt. General.
Lt. General Merrell: Go on...
Captain Hall: Ms. Woodhouse is definately pregnant with a twin pregnancy Madam.
I have run two sonograms and there are definately two fetuses in her uterus. Apparently the second twin was hidden and was not visible before.
Lt. General Merrell: twins........
Lt. General Merrell: What is the health status of the babies Hall?
Captain Hall: They seem fine growing somewhat too quickly if anything.
Lt. General Merrell: Good so then there are no worries have you told Ms. Woodhouse she is expecting twins?
Captain Hall: No madam not yet I was waiting on your clearance for that.
Lt. General Merrell: You may tell her.
Captain Hall: There is something else Madam.
Lt. General Merrell: What?
Captain Hall: Welll......Madam.....one of the twins at least the one I have been able to see on sonogram appears to be a female......and well this was presented as a cloning of a male subject so that may be either a problem with the implantation of the wrong fetus or.......something else...
Elizabeth was unprepared for this posibility of course her stone face never betrayed her thoughts she decided she had to do some quick damage control here before she ended up having to kill Hall too.
Lt. General Merrell: Yes......Captain knowledge on this issue was compartmentalized by need to know. Ms. Woodhouse was actually artificially inseminated this is not a clone. The Iceman recovered had viable frozen sperm in his testes and rather than clone a sick person it was decided at a higher level to try to bring forth offspring instead.
Captain Hall: Fascinating!
Lt. General Merrell: Captain the subject Ms. Woodhouse will need to be brought in as she gets closer to her due date. A facility has been prepared for the birth and your part in this is concluding. You may pick up your cover story with Colonel Beal for Ms. Woodhouse study it well because next week when you see her you will be checking her in to this facility within two weeks of that visit. A plausible health issue has been provided for you to give her as a pretext. Is there anything else?
Captain Hall: No madam.
Lt. General Merrell: Good so this meeting is concluded any other surprises you will report directly to me I will inform Colonel Beal.
Later that night......
Elizabeth: Well I have a surprising update on the pregnancy. Rosemary is expecting two babies they are twins!
Annunna Ea: twins? This is most gratifying news two Innanna do you hear this we will have two babies not one!
Innanna: I am most gratified Ea one child for each of us then!
Annunna Ea: When will the mother be brought in?
Elizabeth: She will be brought in about 3 weeks it will take me that long to set everything into place.
Innanna: Very good Elizabeth you have done well.....
