Back at the Lab when Emily arrived she saw 2 young scientists she did not recognize. There was a young gentleman and woman probably right out of the university standing outside her office.
"Hello may i help you?" She asked.
"You must be Dr Bennett, I'm Geoff and this is Kaitlyn, we were sent to assist you due to your short staff, i understand some of your scientists have taken a leave of absence."
"Oh, yes, Jason yes hes taken a leave and Eric Johnson's is still on a limited schedule so yes we can definitely use the help. Come with me!" Emily said leading them to the lab.
Emily observed the 2 of them. They were both young and Kaitlyn was a very attractive young blonde with glasses. She came off as a smart girl who didn't realize how attractive she really was. She began to make plans for her but decided to wait for the proper moment. Geoff wasn't a bad looking guy himself and she could tell he had a thing for Kaitlyn as it was all over his face.
After a few hours of having them go over Jason's notes she over heard Geoff ask Kaitlyn something interesting.
"Kaitlyn, if you're not busy do you want to grab a bite to eat tonight?"
"Geoff you know how i feel about dating colleagues!"
"I didn't say it was a date, I'm just saying if we are going to be working here together for a while we might as well have dinner, you know as colleagues!"
"Ok fine, but just as colleagues!"
Geoff shook his head yes and turned with a smile on his face. Emily suddenly had an idea.
"Excuse me Geoff? My i speak to you for a moment?" Emily asked.
"Yes Dr Bennett what can u do for you?"
"As you know the creature we have been studying we believe they may feed off of semen."
"Yes i did see that in the notes."
"Good, this seems a little unconventional but i was wondering if you could provide a sample."
"Um... a sample?"
"Yes, we want to see if we can capture one of these creatures and you are the only male here at the moment."
"I see... yeah sure i can um... i can do that!"
"Relax Geoff, we are all professionals here!" She said with a reassuring smile to help him relax. Use this cup and bring it to me when you have finished."
Geoff took the container and headed for the restroom, he was a little nervous doing this as it wasn't what he expected but he felt if it would help capture one of these creatures for study it would be worth it.
Geoff took care of business and returned the sample to Dr Bennett. She took the sample and returned to her office where she picked a small beaker which already contained one of her offspring. She opened the container and poured the contents in letting the little new born blob get its first sample. The creature began to grow as Emily watched with a smile on her face as it had now filled the beaker and was almost fully grown.
Back in the lab Geoff had returned to his work station next to Kaitlyn.
"What did Dr Bennett want from you?" She asked.
"Oh nothing, she wanted my help with something that's all."
"Remember Geoff, we're working together on this, if you're hiding something...
Before Kaitlyn could finish Dr Bennett walked in to the room."Kaitlyn, can i see you in my office for a moment?" She asked.
Kaitlyn felt a little excited thinking she wanted her help as well as she stood up and followed Emily to her office. Geoff was wondering what odd request she wanted from her but soon went back to his papers.
An hour or so had gone by and Geoff suddenly realized that Kaitlyn had been gone for a very long time. He didn't think much of it at first but soon he stood up and went to check on the 2 of them. As he approached the door he stopped as Dr Bennett came walking in.
"Everything alright Geoff?" She asked.
"Yes, i was just wondering what you 2 were up to that's all."
"Kaitlyn is working on a special project for me, don't worry thought ill make sure she leaves in time to meet you for dinner." She said with a smile as she walked past him.
Geoff sat back down and continued his work until it was time to leave. He did not see Kaitlyn anywhere on his way out but Dr Bennett stopped him and asked "Sorry she's finishing up now. Where should I tell her to meet you and what time?"
"Um... i was thinking the Italian place up the road around 6:00 if that's not too soon?"
"Not at all, I'll give her the message, you 2 have fun!" She said with a smirk.
Geoff was surprised at Dr Bennett, almost like she was rooting for him and Kaitlyn. He went back to his hotel and changed in to something a little more dressy and headed to the restaurant. He waited at his table as 6:00 came and went. He was starting to think he was being stood up when he suddenly saw her walk in to the room. She was wearing a stunning red dress with her hair up in a bun. She had on heels and her legs looked amazing. She looked absolutely beautiful to the point Geoff was sure his heart skipped a beat.
She looked around the room before laying her eyes on him and walked over to the table. She sat down across from him with a half smile.
"Kaitlyn you look... wow, i mean, you look very nice tonight." He said remembering she wanted to keep this as colleagues.
"Geoff, i was thinking, maybe we could be more than just professional colleagues."
