Chapter 92: I'm not sorry

"What is it?" Lawrence asked.

"I need to come down to Earth 2. And I need you to arrange for Raj to meet me."

"Wow…I don't know about Raj, Bilal. Look, he's still pretty annoyed that you used his sperm to make that…that…"

"Child." Bilal filled-in. "His child. Our child."

"Yeah…that's a sore topic. He drinks a lot and smokes too much and he keeps to himself. He even caused a fight with several Centaurians and very nearly got into trouble. He won't let a Centaurian examine him for fear that he might get his DNA hijacked again."

Bilal sighed. "I have something very important to tell you both. I'll be there this time tomorrow. Can you meet me at my house?"

"Yeah. I'll be there, no doubt. And I'll try with Raj. That's all that I can promise."

"Tell Raj that I've found a way to make things right. If he doesn't show up then my plan may fail. If it fails it doesn't just affect him and me—it will affect all of mankind."

"Christ. That's a lot of pressure, B, I gotta tell you."
