Tracey nodded, then asked,
“If our country was in danger, would you take your money and run overseas, or…?”
“I’d stay and stand with my country and my family.”
Tarquin cut her off, answering without hesitation, his face serious.
Tracey looked at him, clearly pleased, her tone softening.
“The person you’re asking about—I can’t help you there. I honestly don’t know who they are.”
Tarquin frowned. “What?”
Tracey explained,
“I think you want to know who’s really pulling the strings behind the virus. I’ve only ever heard rumors about their research team.”
“The one truly responsible for your parents’ deaths—that’s gotta be the mastermind, the one calling the shots behind the scenes.”
She leaned back, sighing.
“Scientists abroad, most of them are just highly-skilled employees. Their research directions, even what happens to their results—all of that is decided by the big shots funding them, not the scientists themselves.”
“But if you want, I can dig up every detail I know about the research team later and send it to you.”
“Right now, though, there’s something more important. Come with me, Tarquin.”
She stood up and headed for the lab, Tarquin hurrying after her, unsure what to expect.
Inside the lab, Tracey opened the safe right in front of him.
Inside were some sealed folders and eight small vials, each labeled with a number. She took them out and lined them up on the workbench.
“You were right. I’ve known about this virus for a long time. I’ve been researching it myself. That’s why I was so shocked when Elysia brought it to me.”
She pointed to the first vial.
“This is the very first version—the generation one virus. It was a total failure.”
She gestured down the line.
