Summary: mind control, Mf, some ff, incest
A rabies mutation has an
affinity for different neural tissues. Can we stop this disease before it
spreads to every human on the planet? And do we really want to?

Author's Rambling: This is one of those stories with -- egads! -- setup and development, so it takes a little while to get going. It's not all sex, some of it is a little more violent than usual (hey, it's rabies we're talking here), and let me know what you think of it.
Have fun!
(Monday, mid-day)
"Selena?"
"Yes, Doctor Janecek?" She had been rather clipped with him all day. She understood that last night was horribly painful and horribly embarassing for him, but he had threatened to fire her, to bring false charges against her, to kill her, even.
"Selena ... I am ... so sorry about last night."
"Yes ... well ... it had to be very painful for you."
"It was, Selena. And I reacted extremely poorly. I ... I threatened the two people that mean the most in the world to me."
"Sure didn't seem like that last night."
"Selena, I ... Selena ... you and my wife are the two people that I ... most want to keep the respect of. You are both important and I wanted ... I want ... to keep your respect. Thank you -- thank you dearly -- for rescuing me. But ... it felt like ... I was ... lowered ... in your eyes ... both of you ... just by being in that position. There was ... nothing ... that I could have done. They had knives, guns and horrible, horrible cruelty. There was nothing that I could have done against them. But ... I would not have wanted the two of you to see me that way."
"Rod ... we both care for you. You are a good doctor. And a good--"
"Thank you. But ... I would like to keep the respect of both of you, and more than it hurt last night, more than it was embarassing, more than I was terrified, it sucked the life out of me to have the two of you see me like that. Can you understand that? I felt so bad, I had no idea what to do, and I made things ten times worse by insulting, by threatening those most important to me."
"You were ... in a situation that noone can ever be prepared for. How DO you react when things like that happen? You can't blame yourself if you're imperfect. You're a man. And part of what made last night so bad was that they tried to take some of that away from you."
"They did try. It is ... still ... horribly embarassing that--"
"Rod--" She waited until he looked her in the eye. "-- There is NOTHING that you can do in situations like that. It's horrible that they can even occur. And neither Patty nor I think any the less of you for having been shit on by an ugly bird, so to speak."
"Thank ... thank you, Selena. About the things that I said--"
"What things? You were in such pain last night that most of what you were saying was unintelligible."
"I-- thank you, Selena."
"I've thanked you for many things in the past. It's good to be able to return the favor for once."
"I will remember this."
"Well, there are a lot of other things that you need to work on forgetting. They're not worth remembering. How are you feeling today? I really didn't expect you to come in."
"I'm running a little fever -- I think my body is just bruised all over." He stood in silence a moment. "I'm lucky and honored to have you and Patty as ... well, as such a dear friend and a wife."
"Okay," she smiled, "Enough of the sappy stuff. We still have patients to attend to."
"Yes, ma'am," Rod smiled, "But thank you anyway, for being there for me."
