Kelly woke with a start as the heavy book slammed against her desk. She looked up, blurrily, to see an evil smirk on her assistants face.<br/><br/>“Morning, Sunshine!” Danny said, a little too cheerfully for her taste. “Fall asleep at your desk again last night?” she only managed a grumble in response as she tried to rub sleep out of her eyes. She, however, forgot she still had on her glasses and only managed to smash then into her face; which by the look on her face, hurt. “Coffee?” Danny asked with a chuckle. She didn’t even get to answer as by the time her brain registered that he has said he was already gone. She smiled. That was why she loved him; he always knew what she needed even before she knew herself. She stretched and headed off to the bathroom hoping she hadn’t used all her extra clothing she stashed in her locker.<br/><br/>Dressed and showered, thanks to the biohazard shower in the chemistry lab, she was ready to start work again. Working at the Denver Institute for Modern Scientific Research had its advantages. She entered her lab and found Danny with two military officers and what looked like another scientist. Danny handed her coffee as the officers introduced themselves. “And I’m Dr. Lee” the short balding man in the lab coat held out his hand. She looked at him as she sipped her coffee.<br/><br/>“What can I help you with?” She ignored the offered hand completely. Dr. Lee stammered and seemed embarrassed. Danny tried to hide a smile as he quietly left.<br/><br/>“Well you are Dr. Green, yes?” She nodded. “I was interested in your research on crossbreeding diversely different species based on your book Green is Green. You pass the security clearance and you have an unusual talent for finding compatible species…” He rambled on hoping for a reaction from her and getting none. ” And was hoping you would come with us. I have found... that is we have found a rather unique plant that we.... I would like your option on?” He finished lamely.<br/><br/>She blinked and tilted her head to one side. “I don’t know… I don’t like to fly.”<br/><br/>Dr. Lee seemed confused again. One of the officers saved him this time, “Ma'am, the specimen is being held in Colorado Springs.” She shrugged and gave them all a bright smile.<br/><br/>“Ok then.” Dr. Lee was left wondering what he had gotten himself into.<br/>
