The two of them sat there looking at each other for what seemed to be a lifetime. He knew that she still had to adjust to what he was saying and honestly at the moment he didn't know if even though it was gonna get through to her. Benton knew that he had to do something. He had to make something easier for her and he was trying to quickly figure out what that could be. He was supposed to be a huge inventor and one of the most influential people of their lifetime but yet he was scared that he was going to make the wrong decision when it came to her, and it would push her away. This is when he realized that he had no idea how to handle women in general.He had given her something to distract her and in the possibility of that being the thing that set her off he wasn't exactly sure what to say. She had begun to pour herself into the research of finding people to donate money to. However, he also saw that there was a huge downside to that and that was that people di

  Everybody in the office is cleared away for them to be in watching the monitors. That's when he saw his sister and realized that she had quite a few problems. The first thing was she must have stumbled on a Hornet's nest because she was swatting at the air and looked like she was fighting with something they couldn't exactly see. Either that or she was on some kind of drugs which he didn't really think was a possibility because his sister had always been one of the ones who was always lecturing people on everything. Next to her, she had an entire bag of things that they could see, and there were a few things that were spilling out, and he was beginning to wonder if he was trying too hard to make sense of what was right in front of him. That's when he realized that his sister was trying to set him up for some kind of tabloid scheme or something that she would take pictures of and then send in. To him, that seemed the most logical explanation of what his sister was doin

  A few hours later, dressed in a pullover shirt and some khaki pants, he seemed a lot more relaxed security guards remembered him being earlier in the morning. He had a grin on his face that nobody had ever seen before. Though no one was going to actively say anything to him about how he was acting. It was like a new person was in front of them. He nodded to the security guards as he walked in the door and then looked at his sister, who was sitting at the table, and she was still fuming. The look on her face was priceless when he walked in. She was almost pouting like she was five years old again. “Did you get stung by any of the bees?” Benton asked as he sat down at the head of the table and looked at his older sister, who was visibly angry. Now that he was in there and making a joke about it, she was even more furious that she had been there waiting for him for a few hours. She had no idea that he had actually just made the first contribution to the clause be

  A few days later, while Benton was in the laboratory, he received an emergency text from Kelly, which was slightly unnerving. He had set up Kelly's phone well, she was starting her recovery process in the apartments to have an SOS button that all she had to do was hit it, and he would come running. He knew that she didn't ever want to press that button, so when the alert came to his phone and was echoing throughout the entire base, he knew something was seriously wrong. Kelly wouldn't have accidentally pressed the button, or she would have, and she would have immediately sent something right afterward. He made his way back to the apartments very quickly, knowing that that's where she was as she was going over more files for possible donations. Sometimes she would use her phone to check personal profiles of people and also news stories to see if she could easily verify some of the details in some of the campaigns. However, the SOS button was something completely differ

  It was later that day that he had been notified that his mother and his sisters had arrived. It was almost serendipitous that Penny had been there earlier, and he was quite prepared to deal with his mother and his younger sisters. When he found them walking through the hallways headed towards his private apartments, they were already walking and talking in hushed whispers. However, the hallways were designed to almost echo everything that way. People could talk through the long distances between areas in the hallway. He heard every word that they were saying. They weren't really being rolled out quiet even though they thought they were talking in hushed tones. “He supposedly has some kind of woman here. He won’t tell us about her unless it was beyond serious.” His younger sister said to their mother. “So, we really shouldn't push the matter right now. I mean, any woman right now would be a good idea for him to have at least that's a push in the right direction
