Amira froze.
It was only then that she got a clear look at what Rogers was holding in his hand.
Panic exploded across her face instantly, and her words came out all jumbled and stuttered, "Lake… Professor Lake, be careful! That's the brand-new toxin we just developed! There… there isn't even an antidote for it yet! Professor Lake, put it down, please! I'm scared!"
Instead of obeying, Rogers' grip on the vial only tightened steadily.
"Just answer me one question. What exactly is the toxin Sarah has?"
Amira's throat worked overtime as she swallowed hard, her nerves stretched tight as a bowstring.
She fumbled the drawer open and grabbed the custom medical record journal she put together herself, shoving it toward him. "Professor Lake, it's… it's all in here. Just look for yourself."
