' Duck ? '
' Yeah, She's the one who developed the formula for fission. She's gonna be our new pet.'
My forehead nerves stretched out and I closed my eyes. ' Listen old man, you make no sense. If you don't say it, I might have to punch in the face'.
' Okay, one day I found her near a garbage bin, she was sitting behind it and eating some spoiled apples. I took her to our house '.
' You ? '
' Yeah, absolutely me. But not in good intentions. I had planned to sell her for a good price with my underworld link and settle my rents and other expenses of the month. I made her sit in hall, gave the remaining pieces of bread that she ate without even wasting a small piece and licked the wrapper. I went out for smoking. When I returned, I saw her correcting and overwriting my formulas that I wrote when I was working in my company. When she saw me, she told, ' I made changes. Now this theorems will work ' and handed the paper. She wore a torn clothes and her face looked like an absolute teenage beggar. Dirt all over her, dark spots around her eyes and a bad smell, not to mention she also talked weirdly. I thought she's a bit crazy and dropped those papers onto my bed. After taking bath, I sat in front of the T.V, relaxing with a glass of whiskey and took that papers. Scribblings, her handwriting was an absolute mess. I thought it was some crazy stuff written by a little girl. But soon I was wrong. Her ideas, formulas and theorems are pure magical. She made millions of my hair follicles stand straight, absolutely erect. All the tipsy feelings left and I rushed to the bathtub, forced my head into the bathtub and came back. It made even more sense, every single paper was golden. She even added two extra theorems at the back side of the seventh page. I took the telephone and dialed Clinton's number who was currently working in my position as the project's head. He praised me with his favourite bad words for calling in the middle of the night and disconnected the phone. But that didn't stop me. I rushed with my barefoot all the way to his house, jumped over the compound wall and encountered his dog. Luckily I was in good mood and I didn't do anything to that barking thing which was tied in a rope. I jumped into his bedroom and yelled his name. In irritation he smashed his table lamp onto my head. But I forgave him and showed those papers. First he hesitated and cursed me. Then grabbed the papers and went through. He had exactly the same reaction as of mine. He came to my house and gazed at her.He made some changes and went to my old company. He convinced them her work as mine. The company held a meeting with our fellow scientist and a warm arguments took place. I managed to explain those theorems and principles with the lectures given by Clinton. After all the troubles, they approved our theorem and we received a huge reward amount. That's when my devil kicked in. Why should I sell such a smart thing ? Among the other kids of her age, she seemed to have more than just flesh and neurons inside her head. And I think you'll guess the remaining parts, cause you know very well about your father right, James ?".
