in the lab; her shoes would be difficult to fill.               By some miracle Yuki managed to find a flight that was leaving close to three hours from her present time. It cost a small fortune, but no price was too high for her family.                                                                                     Dorian got his coat and the two walked outside to the bus stop. He followed Yuki back to her apartment and waited outside while she packed. An empty feeling washed over him with the knowledge that she was possibly leaving for good, or at least for a long time, along with a sadness for the pain she was burdened with.                                                                                     They didn’t say much to each other on the way to the airport; he didn’t want to add to her troubles. “I will see you again, won’t I?” he asked softly.                                                                                                                               She put her head on his arm as he drove. “Of course you will.” They continued their conversation in Japanese for the remainder of the journey. Over the past several years he had gone so far as pretending to learn her native language in order to make her feel special despite the fact that he was already quite fluent.
                  Every now and then he would purposefully mispronounce some words, or use incorrect sentence structure, so she could correct him. It helped break up the monotony of lab work, and she respected him even more for it. In Yuki's eyes he was learning Japanese for her sake, which explained in part why she was so loyal to him.                                                        “I’ll call you when I get there, and let you know that I arrived safely. I don’t know what’s going on for sure, but I think that Dantanian  was behind the take-over of our family’s company. He tried to pretend that he would help return control to my father, but he was obviously giving me a veiled threat. He must really be serious about you. You should be careful, who knows what he is capable of.”                                                                        Dorian felt heat rise in his face and his hand gripped the steering wheel tightly. “Yuki, when we meet again, there is something important I need to talk to you about.”                                                                                                   With that said they didn’t speak much more. Dorian dropped her off at the terminal, he hugged her goodbye, and she smiled and waved as he drove off. On the way back to the University he decided it was time to put his research into high gear and learn as much as possible while he could. His mother had warned long ago that if anyone discovered his secrets he would end up as a lab rat. She was the only one alive who knew about him aside from his biological parents, whom he had never known. That was the reason he had become a genetic researcher in the first place; if he was to go under a microscope, it would be his eyes looking through it.
                  The radio was tuned to a news station as he was driving back. With his schedule it was difficult for him to find out what was going on in the world, so he turned it up to listen.  A talk radio show was discussing the record high unemployment and how the global economy was in the beginning of the second great depression.
