Scorpion's Advance
“At one point in the afternoon both of them fell asleep and didn't wake until the sun had sunk low in the sky and the garden was in shadow. Mirit woke first and decided to leave Anderson sleeping while she went inside to start dinner. She kissed him lightly on the forehead before she left him. She couldn't say so but she was delighted at Anderson's failure to find the secret laboratory. If he didn't find the source of the Klein gene she couldn't deceive him and that was all she now wanted. The m...ere thought that she might have to betray him had become an almost unbearable burden to her over the past few days, and she now knew that if it ever did come to the point where she had to hand over the gene to her superiors, she would never be able to see Anderson again. There was no question of doing it secretly behind his back and carrying on as before. She just couldn't do that.
Anderson came in from the garden yawning.
