Chapter 11

The sun coming through the window woke me up. That meant it was close to noon. Wil had dropped me off sometime before dawn, and I’d barely been awake enough to take off my clothes. Mercifully, I hadn’t dreamed.

You’d think that seven dead bodies wouldn’t bother an assassin, but none of those people did anything to deserve death. The three graduate students and the housekeeper were totally innocent. The security guards’ only crime was being slow.

After breakfast, I took the two jars from my bag and put some of the contents of each into small bottles. I took a shower and got dressed, then pulled my motorcycle out of the garage.

I rode over to Vincent Overton’s and parked my motorcycle in an alley a couple of blocks away. If he was surprised to see me, he hid it well.

“Come in, Miss Nelson. How may I serve you today?”

I pulled out the two bottles and handed them to him. “I’d like a chemical analysis of these. I’m assuming they are similar to the drug we discussed last time I was here.”

He took the bottles and set the one with liquid aside. “What do we have here?”

“I’m not sure, but I saw a drug being used as a date rape aphrodisiac in a mutant nightclub. I had it analyzed, and it turned out to be an analog of luvdaze.” I nodded at the two samples. “Those are the last things Dr. Sheridan was working on.”

Vincent’s brow furrowed.

“Sheridan was killed last night, and all his research notes were stolen.”

“And this powder is from Dr. Sheridan, or from the club?”

“Both of these samples came from a safe in his lab.” I pulled out my tablet and showed him the chemical structure for the drug I had purloined at the mutie bar. “This was the powder from the bar.”

Vincent scanned the picture to his tablet. “Come back tomorrow. After ten in the evening.”

I held out my credit card and he scanned it for a thousand credits.

“That’s a down payment, Miss Nelson. I don’t know how extensive an analysis will be necessary.”
