fiction, which ultimately became reality. DalMar combined its research on DNA with Tempex development of macro nanos by duplicating the creation process of cancer cells. The nano probes once entering into the blood stream would seek out and reverse the process of the cancer by altering the individual’s DNA to prevent a re-development. So far, the risks, not proven yet, would be less than radiation and less harmful to the individual. He stated that during the research they discovered a few people naturally carry DNA that prevents cancer from developing. The cellular levels showed on the screen replicated how the nanos would attach to the DNA walls and rewrite them. The nanos replicated themselves to the DNA strand that naturally occurred in those individuals that do not contract the types of cancer, which is a two-step process. A second treatment of the nanos would remove the cancer cells from the host. The process would save time and money from the costly radiation treatments. When the process was complete, the body would eliminate the nanos through the urine.
    To my amazement, Daniel’s research was more than just research. He was so much like my father, a true humanitarian. He believed in saving lives and apparently spent millions on cures and research as well. There were no words to explain my surprise of finding my father’s interests had broadened into companies like these.
    “Ladies and gentlemen, what you have seen has been considered science fiction up until now,” Daniel continued. “This Labrador Retriever named Lucy was brought to us by her owner for help. Lucy had no chance of survival. There were no known cures for the type of cancer she had. In the experimental stage, we gave Lucy an injection of the GNI, Genesis Nanos I. Within twenty-four hours, the cancer was isolated and cleaned up. In the Second stage, we injected her with GN2, Genesis Nanos II. Twenty-four hours later, Lucy’s DNA was restructured with the GN2 making the bridge gap preventing the cancer from recurring. Lucy has been living free of cancer for six years.” Daniel finished.
    The lights were back. Everyone in the room started talking at one time about the new scientific breakthrough.
    “Please! Please!” Thomas sounded out loudly.
    “Dr. Maxwell, how long do you think it will be before you test the GNI and GN2 on human subjects?” Mr. Yasamino asked in a heavy accent.
    “We have been testing the GNI on human subjects now for just a little over a year. The success rate has been ninety percent. The casualty rate has been minimal with ten percent of the human subjects rejecting the nanos,” Daniel finished.
    The title Doctor rang out loudly in my head. Daniel looked different to me, probably due to his title. Casey never mentioned anything to me about him obtaining his doctorate in science. His eyes caught mine and I quickly glanced down to the stack of papers in front of me. Terrified that everyone in the room would notice how much I admired Daniel, I glanced down to the stack of papers in front of me. My thoughts drifted to last night when his strong shoulder was there for me to cry on. I felt everyone would see through me. I was afraid they would see in my eyes what my heart was feeling at this moment. My eyes rose from my papers and met his across the table. Our eyes held one long glance. There was more to this new Daniel and I wanted to know everything.
    Much to my relief, I was ready to leave when Thomas dismissed the meeting. Pushing my chair back, I stood and gathered my papers. Daniel crossed the room and leaned close to me.
    “Ready to go?” he whispered in my ear, apparently he wanted to leave the room as fast as I did. While the others were talking amongst themselves and Thomas, we slipped out like two school kids skipping class. Moving quickly toward the elevator, we stepped in as he pushed the down button. A smile crossed my face. He looked down at me and returned my smile.
    “What?”
    “Nothing.” My face
