Chapter #4Keeping the Millers' intact but discreet. by: Mr. George   "We'll keep you together..." The taller agent explained to Victoria.
"But, we need to keep you below the radar." The agent stuffing a doughnut into his mouth added.
"So?" Paul asked with a certain resigned tone. He'd already had a close escape, after overhearing the plans. Wishing he'd not been in that damned restaurant, not come forward, that... hell, he wasn't some deep undercover asset. This whole situation was overwhelming, he'd just wanted a quiet meal, in a fancy Italian Bistro. Now he and his whole family were living a nightmare from day to day.
The look the agents exchanged made Paul's stomach flip. He knew before either opened their mouth it was going to be bad.
"Think of it as a fresh start." The tall man suggested.
"If you prefer it, you can even keep it, after the trial." The other suggested.
Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a crumpled pack of chewing gum. Offering it to the Millers' they each accepted automatically, glad for something to do, even if it was simply chewing.
"So..." Victoria repeated Paul's question with a little more force.
Max nodded his interest too, eager to find out about their new lives.
"Well, you'll stay together and study together."
"Study?" Paul asked. His voice cracking as he interrupted.
"You'll be hidden as students. Studying at the university."
"Sorority Sisters." The other added to clarify.
"Oh, and actual sisters too."
"Sisters...." Max squeaked.
"Triplets, even."
The agents passed the two stunned men a package, and another for Victoria.
"Well, It's Maxine, and Pauline... closest to your former name keeps things simpler." The tall man added.
"I ... I won't..." Paul squeaked in protest.
"Yeah... ", Max agreed, "Something else... not a girl..."
"Well, more a woman than a girl." The sugar sprinkles on his cheeks hinting at a secret smile.
"It's not really negotiable... Besides..."
He nodded to the empty chewing gum packet on the table.
"You've already taken the nanites, and they are programmed."
"Wha..." Max objected, as he felt the room slip sideways, and collapse to the floor. His wife and son, landing in quick succession as the nanites reworked their bodies over to fit their new lives.
