can you reattach someone's head? Stanwood asked. They don't know, but I love to try, Fox answered. The boys heard the challenge and responded with an Ooh, don't cut anyone's head off! Seriously, Stanwood replied. I think maybe you could regrow a finger or something, but it would be expensive, Andrew said. I don't think I could do it with this. We need a thicker composition, and it would take longer. How much did it cost to make all this? Craswell asked. Close to 17 million, Andrew answered in a low voice. Holy **** back, it said. What said close to Andrew countered. I think you get holy **** at 20. How close? Joe asked. If you figuring all the test batches a little over, maybe. But current medical science can already reattach limbs for a lot less, Stanwood pointed out. And we have lots of ways to accelerate the healing process, so this is kind of redundant. It's too expensive for the common people. All you did was waste a bunch of money on our later. After more than 70 healed scrapes, cuts, abrasions, lacerations, fractures, burns and contusions, they've exhausted their creativity and courage. They had reached a place where the pain endured outweigh the novelty of having the tissue magically repaired. Andrew took notes while the boys played. He took a sample of blood from each volunteer, usually from whatever instrument of violence used to create the tissue damage, never allowing any blade to be used. Twice, he bagged the tools of destruction and log each into his notebook, along with the damage done and how long it took the goo to repair the wound with one boy, Jesse Parker. Total repair took an agonizing 47 seconds, but Jessie's wound had been rather severe. They had attacked his leg with an electric hedge clipper. Then they applied. The goon stopped ephemeral artery from dumping Jessie's entire blood supply on the laboratory floor. The boys laughed and joked as they replaced chunks of meat from his thigh. I mean it later, Jessie's leg was good as new. Mine is the damage to his school pants. Craswell had wanted to see how hard the other boys could punch him. He asked each of them to give it all they had. He dared them to outdo each other in a single strike after taking a haymaker from everyone in the room, Tom got creative and broke a glass beaker over Jim's head. His face looked like hamburger. The boys stuck a straw in his mouth and coded his entire face and do. And you estimated it cost almost $100,000 to wrap Jim's face. But they had plenty left board. They began to discuss grievous, mortal wounds, and you tried to dissuade them. Gabriel joked about cutting Sandoval's throat, who happened to not be present. He challenged Andrew to save him before he died. Andrew Counter, that he'd never liked Enrique, wouldn't be inclined to help him. No matter what. That would leave Gabe on the hook for murder. Several boys laughed. No one did anything excessively stupid. Andrew suggested it was time to lock the grew up. Craswell appealed the rubber from his eyes. I want to try something bigger, something bigger, like what? And you're asked, I want you to cut my arm off, Jim said. You're ******* crazy, Stanwood replied. No, I'm not. Crosby looked over to Andrew. I want you to cut off my arm, stay here. Andrew left the room. Half a dozen boys trailed after him, Craswell Standard and several others remained behind. Seriously, Joe, you should try. It really works. Craswell said **** that. Stanwood answered. You don't know what the side effects are. Maybe someday you wake up and who knows **** might kill you a month from now. Yeah, well, Fox will die first. And you walked to the locked glass trophy case in the grand entrance hall of the academy. He picked up a nearby chair and used it to knock the glass out. The surrounding boys watched as he reached into the case and removed the Long Samurai sword the katana from the dye show set of two swords. The set had been awarded to the Rivendell Kendo team from the OG You Sword School of Japan. Andrews, great grandfather had competed in the tournament that had claimed the glorious victory. Now the young man in pilfered his ancestors trophy case for an afternoon of rockets and juvenile amusement. And you argued the points and counterpoints in his mind. What he was doing was contributing to science. He needed volunteers and to get them he needed an extraordinary claim, an outrageous claim, a bit of theater. He had broken the glass and a calculated gesture. He needed to put an end to the experiment. While I still had a ton of goo, he needed to get caught so the discovery could be exposed with a number of witnesses. On his way back to the lab, the boys joked about what they could do with such magical power. Several confirmed beatings they intended to dole out, then supply the recipient with a bit of blue goo to heal them right up. The lists of rivals were long in. The actions to be taken against them were intricate, cunning and cruel. Once Andrew and the others returned with the sword, the boys who'd waited behind fell silent. Andrew Fox looks Jim Crosby all in the eyes. He held this sort of prepared to take it out of the sheath Jim step close to the tub and held his left arm out over it. Andrew stepped back, and the other boys cleared back a few steps room enough for him to draw on. Swing the sword. Hey Andrew! Gesture to Stephen and Jessie, standing opposite Craswell. Grab his arm. Fox said the boys looked from Andrew to James, who nodded. He reached out to his hand when I hit it. You have to take a right down into the goo and right back up to his arm and you instructed, do we should call it glue? Stephen said. Should we put some on his arm to? Jesse asked. Yeah, Beckett injured, pointed. Stand here next to the tub when I slashed in the arm. Stephen Ingest are going to be holding it. Wait for the sword to pass through, then put your hands in the tub as they bring the form to the tub. I want you to take a handful of Grew up to Jimmy Stump. Got it. Several kids laughed, but Tom nodded, and you drew the sword from the scabbard. Wonder if will scream. Someone in the back, said Andrew Look, James in the eye and without waiting for a count of three, were already set. Go fox slash Through crossbows, bicep and humorous, the sword severed the boys armed with little more resistance than if it were slicing through smoke, and you held the sword low And still, after the cut, James didn't scream. He didn't gasp. He didn't make a sound. Tom reached into the tub. Stephen and Jesse brought Jim's forearm and elbow down into the tub, passing Tom on his way up to gyms open stump is Tom applied the goo and excited post of blood sprayed into the room. Jess and Stephen dunked that attached stump and reattached it to Jimmy's remaining upper arm. The room was quiet except for the sound of blue and red drops hitting the floor. The goo caused the skin to swell and knit together where it had separated. Blood and blue syrup bubbled from the bicep. Is the excess rain off? The remainder of the goo grew darker, harder robbery and thick. James smiled. He took a deep breath and wiggled the fingers of his left hand. Jesse and Stephen felt the arm come alive under their grasp. It grabbed and shook them. It had taken less than 30 seconds. Craswell pulled the limb away and flexed it. X says Goo in plasma burst from the seem. The scar where the limit been severed. James punched his palm and turned and slammed his hand through a wood paneled cabinet, laughing, withdrawing the fist, James saw he damaged it. A new he laughed as he lathered the splintered fingers with Dr Fox is super blue healing goo. During that first week of eighth grade, all the boys involved in the incident with the goo found themselves assembled a large conference room seated with their parents and their parents. Lawyers Professor Cotton recited his discovery of the scene in the laboratory. You don't got the whole story commanders inspiration by Wendell's accident to Jim's courageous determination in the name of scientific progress. The patent filed in Andrew's name resulted in a massive windfall in the final settlement. All the kids who participated in the blue goo experiment received a king's ransom. Joe Stanwood, who hadn't participated, got nothing.
