Chapter 5
Rebecca
The next day I convinced Hanna to come along with me, to scour Elinor and Bryan Cross’ house. My parents.
When they weren’t there, I was just visiting to water the forest of plants they had. My mother had a green thumb, she loved flowers.
So, while they were traveling on their research missions, I took care of that home garden with meticulous attention.
Entering Cross' house meant entering a high-tech laboratory full of plants. A Victorian-style villa that inside was transformed into a spaceship, futuristic and super modern even in its furnishings.
My parents were two Cambridge-graduated researchers with a Biological Science degree.
Dr. Elinor Cross was a molecular biologist and Dr. Bryan Cross specialized in medical, veterinary and pharmaceutical biotechnology.
