Cary starts strangling Mary:
Bystanders watched with weirdly unsympathetic eyes as Cary pinned Mary down to the grass, her hands around her throat. Mary aimed a swift kick to Cary's stomach and scrambled away when Cary's fingers loosened to grasp her own torso in pain.
"What the hell is wrong with you!" Mary gasped.
Cary looked miserable. "Mary I'm so sorry I should've told you I'm cursed. If anyone ever lies to me I have to immediately begin strangling them. My father wanted to create a superhero in me and my brother so he put a special chip in our brains that programs us to respond violently to wrongdoing. My brother is wired to throw hand grenades when people cheat so every board game he's played is a pretty fatal affair."
Mary narrowed her eyes. "Oh yeah? Then why ask me a question if you already know the answer? Isn't that just setting me up for failure here?"
"That's the worst part. He recently updated our chips so that if he gives us a piece of information, we have to find that person involved in the matter and confront them. This whole thing has been his set up. I don't know why, but my father is looking for something with you and your elephant seal son and if I were you, I wouldn't take that lightly."
Mary gripped her thighs. Could it be possible? Had she birthed a nonhuman mammal and just forgotten about it?
Option A: Programmed for extreme honesty, Cary goes back and tells her father what she has done. He prepares to confront Mary himself.
Option B: Mary returns to Jorge and together they go searching for a son they believe they've never known.
