A billion dollars’ worth of medicine was flown in from Veridia to the Genetic Biology Research Institute. The storeroom was packed, floor to ceiling.

Two days? They’d been trying to isolate that strain for two years and failed every time. Was Charlotte serious?

She disabled the bugs, then called Dr. David.
