Chapter 1

Gordon Colins III looked at the paperwork in his hands. There was very little that was new to him. "Father, the board cannot seriously consider bringing this woman into the corporation."

"I'm afraid it's more than just to consider."

"Why? She's a bull dyke with an overwhelming conception of her own worth. She'll disrupt whatever department she is placed in."

"I'm afraid she wishes to locate here in Toronto."

"Father, my own experiments will suffer. The offer is for a senior researcher. That means she will be at all the meetings. She will be seducing the entire staff, at least the female ones."

Gordon Colins II chuckled to himself. His son spent much of his own time doing the same thing and perhaps he was more afraid of the competition this new addition would bring. "Gordon, even if she is disruptive she has been instrumental in developing nearly four and a half billion dollars in new products. The corporation wants to cash in on her track record."

"I know she's bright. Her IQ is reported to be above 200. I am concerned that a person with an intelligence that high has more of a chance of being unstable. I keep track of people in my field. This woman has killed men and has nearly killed three woman. This was done with her own body for the most part. She shot one woman. There has been numerous incidents where she has lost her temper and severely beaten people she works with. She was a suspect in the shootings of two people that opposed her. We don't need her kind of attitude and actions in the corporation and especially here."
