No More Annoying Leg Hair!

Chapter 3
The Device

Chapter Description: John introduces Sammy to the device.

John lead Sammy down to see the product in action. A few "scientist types" were standing around in one of the research rooms down stairs. They were all wearing lab coats, badges labeled with their name and picture, while the room was filled with everything you’d imagine a chemistry room would contain. There were beakers and glasses, containing various colored liquids and powders, it was hard to imagine that so many great make-up products started in a room like this.

"How we doing, guys and gals?", John asked the group working in the lab. They all stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the boss. A collective, "Good", came from the group, it was obvious they didn’t get a lot of the "big wigs" down here. "Mrs. Roberson would like to see a test of your hair removal device. Think we can show her the mouse test?", John asked one of the lab coats. "Not a problem sir", one of the workers told John, as he walked over to a cabinet and brought out an item that looked like a flashlight you would take on a camping trip. "That’s the device?", Sammy asked, expecting something more. "Just wait to you see what it can do", he told her.

Another one of the workers walked over to a cage of mice and brought one of the cute, white furred creatures out on to the table. There was a small, open box, with no lid, where they put mice for these type of experiments. "Mice are perfect for this experiment because they are born without fur. They don’t start to grow it until they are about 10 day old. If everything works correctly, he will stay the same, only his fur will reduce to nothing", the worker explained as he set the settings on the device. He pointed the device directly on the rodent and turned it on.

Sammy thought they were playing a prank on her. As soon as the device was turned on, a light came out. It looked exactly like a flashlight and a cheap one at that. "Just keep your eye on the mouse", John told her. She folded her arms, then looked inside the cage, now she really thought they were playing a prank on her, sure enough, as the light was on the mouse, it’s fur began to disappear back into it’s body. Sammy almost gasped once they were finished, she looked inside and saw the same size mouse, sans it’s fur. It really worked, there before her was a naked mouse. The worker once again adjusted the setting, this time a green light flashed out. Right before her eyes, Sammy watched as the mouse’s fur began to return to it’s rightful age.

John and Sammy locked eyes, knowing they had something here. "When can we start human trials?", Sammy asked. "We already put in our IND Application, so it should be less than 30 days", the worker told her. "Perfect! Sir, I know this might be a little bit different, but would you mind if I was a part of the trial? I’d love to get rid of this hair on my legs!", Sammy asked. He smiled at her like a father would a daughter, thought for a second and told her, "I think I can make that happen".
