Chapter 1

Scientist had thought they had discovered a way to protect children for good but they were wrong.

The discovery occurred on March 14, 2009 when Dr. Mark Ashton and his team discovered a gene in the human genome that when activated in a child should cause the child to produce a pheromone that removed any sexual feelings and pacify a person and make them feel protective of the child and it would last until the child was around the age of 18 to 24.

The pheromone would break down quickly but it should be powerful enough to effect a person even through their skin and need not be inhaled.

After testing for 2 years in the lab Dr. Ashton and his team won approval to begin clinical trials on human subjects.

Soon they decided the only way to alter the genes of a child would be with a retrovirus that would be tailored to alter the key gene and then die within 24 hours.

Testing went well with hardly any problems and on November 3, 2015 the FDA approved the treatment for public use which was now called the Protection from Abuse Genetic Virus or by the public as the PAGV virus.

As soon as the PAGV virus hit the market parents stampeded to get their children treated and within 6 months 98% of the children under the age of 18 were treated and safe from abuse and the number of crimes on children under the age of 18 fell to 1% of what it once was.

As time went on parents felt more safe and in 4 years time not one child treated had reported being abused nor were any who had been treated murdered and by then the treatment had spread nearly worldwide.

However it was during the fifth year after the virus was used to treat children worldwide that a new virus suddenly appeared in a small town in Ohio which quickly spread like wildfire across the nation and then worldwide however no deaths were reported and the effects were mild and so another year passed.

What no one knew is the virus was a variant of the PAGV virus and it had mutated into a hardy strain which then altered the protection the older children had received.

As the morning began Dr. Ashton or Mark to his friends calming sat down at the table with his wife and all of his children and began to eat his breakfast of potatoes and eggs.

Jeremy his son age 18 was trying to stuff a whole pancake into his mouth and seemed to be trying to avoid getting syrup everywhere and the twins Gracie and Gwen age 21 were talking about what to wear to their first day back at school since they were sick last week.

Todd his oldest son age 23 was eating while listening to music on his headphones and Becky his 19 year old daughter was talking to her mother Amanda about a party at her friend Nancy's house next friday.

"But mom you said I could go two weeks ago." Becky said.

"I know but unless you get your chores done and atleast a B on that test this coming week you'll have to tell Nancy that you can't make it." Amanda replied.

"Thats totally not fair you said I could go already." Becky said.

"That's to bad young lady." Amanda replied. "You know you're going to fail math if you dont bring your grades up still."

"But I was sick last week." Becky said.

"Thats why I'm giving you warning now to study and get atleast a B on the test or you will not be allowed to use the car next friday to go to the party your friend Nancy invited you to."Amanda replied.

"But..." Becky began to say.

"No buts Becky." Mark said. "Your mother is right and I will not stand for you arguing with her."

"But daddy..." Becky pouted with the voice she used when she was little with her father to get her own way usually.

"Thats the end of it Becky." Mark said as he interrupeted her mid pout. "One more word in protest and no car."

"Ok daddy." Becky murmured.

RingRingRing Marks cellphone suddenly sounded.

"Hello?" Mark said.

"Yes, Ok let me call you back in 10 minutes." Mark said and then hung up.

"Honey, That was Daniel." Mark explained. "He called because he thought we had left already for your aunts like we had planned. He needs to speak to me on the video phone in my office."

"Ok Dear." Amanda replied.

"No problem, Becky just so you know we do love you." Mark said.

"Ahh I know and I am sorry, I just so wanted to take the car this week." Becky sighed.

"No need to pout honey" Amanda said. "Come and give me a hug."

Becky rose from her chair and walked over to her mother near the stove and received a big hug.

"My" Her mother said. "How big you've grown, it's hard for me to imagine you as my little girl anymore."

Becky blushed and with that went back to her seat and her mother went back to her cooking. Mark got up then and walked over to his wife and hugged her from behind and whispered into her ear that he loved her and as he hugged her he felt and erection suddenly rear up in his pants and he rubbed it against her ass slowly.

"Later?" Mark whispered in her ear.

"MMhmmm" His wife replied while trying not to burn the pancakes.

"Ok I need to call Dan back." Mark said as he turned and began to walk out of the room while carefully hiding his erection with the newspaper. "It shouldn't take long."

As Mark sat down in front of the video phone in his office it rang.

"Hi Dan, whats up that you had to call me at home?" Mark said as means of welcome.

"Hi Mark." Dan said."Sorry to bother you but we're receiving some weird reports in the last 2 hours."

"Weird reports?" Mark asked.

"Yeah."Dan said."We even had a guy walk in with his 2 children."

"Really?" Mark said as he reached down so as to adjust his pants with his throbbing erection as minor thoughts of sex began to plague in his mind." Whats the problem with the guy and why did he bring his kids in?"

"Well he would not say exactly, just said the shot was not working" Dan replied.

"Did you treat the kids with PAGV then as is the standard treatment and examine them for signs of any abuse from a fight or a beating?" Mark asked as he tried once again to carefully adjust his erection without being seen.

"That's the problem, they were treated about 6 years ago when they were ages 12 and 14 and yeah I also checked them for any signs of abuse but there was nothing." Dan said.

"Now that is odd." Mark said."Anything else?"

"Well, yeah something strange did happen."Dan said "I thought I saw the 18 daughters looked like they were glowing red but I must have been imagining it as I have been here all night."

"Yeah ok that does sound strange." Mark replied."Tell you what, to be safe give the kids another dose of PAGV and also send me their records and a DNA sample and all the data on the other weird reports you said you are getting."

Mark heard the office open and close behind him but before he could turn around Dan asked him another question.

"Do you want that emailed or delivered by courier?" Dan said.

"Email will be fine." Mark said as he rubbed his erection slowing under his desk."Just email me the data on their DNA as well and call me back after you get some sleep."

"OK, talk to you later and bye"Dan said.

"Bye."

As Mark reached over and turned the video phone off he heard whoever had come in open the door to the bathroom in his office and close it.

As he got up his erection bumped into the desk causing him to gasp with pleasure.

Willing himself to ignore it he walked over to the bathroom door and knocked and said "OK whos in there."

"Just me dad." Came the voice of his son Jeremy.

"What are you doing in my bathroom." Mark said.

"Becky is helping me wash off some syrup, she knocked it all over me by accident." He heard Jeremy reply through the door.

"Well open up the door as it is rude to talk through it to a person especially if that person is your parent and why aren't you using your own bathroom upstairs?"

The door opened and Mark saw that Jeremy who had syrup all over his face was naked and that Becky was holding his shirt and wringing it out while his sons pants and underwear were in the sink and a towel was wrapped around him.

"What happened to your clothes?"Mark asked.

"I tripped and spilled it all over him when I was putting it away." Becky replied before Jeremy could say anything."It went everywhere and it's also all over the kitchen floor and table. The twins left before it happened a few minutes ago to go to the mall so Todd is helping mom clean it up as to why we didn't use our bathroom we didn't want to get it into the carpet on the stairs"

Mark then smelled something like cinnamon in the bathroom and at the same time he felt his cock was slowly becoming erect and he realized his son was staring at his erection in his pants.

Blushing Mark began to back quickly out of the bathroom and close the door but suddenly the door stopped as he felt someone pulling on it from the other side.

"Anything else daddy?" Becky asked. "I really need to help get this syrup out of Jeremys clothes before it ruins them."
