Second disagreement

A week later, Ellen held her breath as the test results arrived at Tindell’s office and the envelope was opened. As she watches Tindell’s expression cloud over as he looks over the paperwork, she hears the words, “The results were the same, DNA mismatch,” as a heavy silence dominates the room. Ellen’s knees relax and she sinks deeper into her chair. For the second time. Another lab, same result. Even though Tyndell said, “We are not giving up yet, there is a way,” Ellen could no longer see any hope. The absolute wall of science continues to stand in Ellen’s way.
