“Okay, Rebecca, we’re going to see if we can figure out how you got infected,” Claybourne started.

“What were you doing when you first started to feel pain?” Claybourne asked.

“I was eating Lucky Charms,” she said.

Claybourne wrinkled his nose.

“Told you he would hate them,” Rebecca said, smiling weakly.

Felix rolled his eyes. “Did you eat or drink anything leftover from Field Day?” Felix asked.

She shook her head. “I’m not stupid, guys, I wouldn’t eat that stuff when we don’t know for sure it was the cause,” she retorted.

“When you were in the lab, did you spill any of the virus on bare skin?” Claybourne asked.

Rebecca shook her head.

“I took every precaution, I know my way around a lab.”

“What about the broken glass?” Felix asked.

“Snitch!”

Claybourne and Aleks looked from Rebecca to Felix and back.

She sighed. “I was overwhelmed and just a little bit upset earlier, so I may have thrown an empty beaker or two,” Rebecca admitted.

“Just empty beakers? Nothing with the virus in it?” Claybourne asked. She shook her head and yawned.

“Thanks, Rebecca, you get some rest. We’ll be back in a few hours. If you think of anything let me know,” Claybourne said and patted her hand.

Rebecca stuck her tongue out at Felix who stuck his tongue out in return. She giggled and yawned again. Felix followed Claybourne out of the gym back to the teacher’s lounge. Once inside Claybourne wheeled on him.

“I just don’t get it. I don’t get it! She was fine not twenty-four hours ago.”

“There has to be a common thread we’re not seeing,” Felix agreed.

“There are too many variables.” Claybourne collapsed on the small sofa.

“Which means the cause is still out there. Any one of us could get it.” Felix sat next to his mate.

“I’m still convinced this started on Field Day.” Claybourne shook his head.

“It’s not in the air or water. We’ve all been exposed to both. So far with our extensive testing we have eliminated most of the Field Day foods. What about the diner?” Felix asked.

“Ma closed the diner down on Field Day. She was running the bake sale booth, most people ate at the school anyway,” Claybourne said.

“I can’t think right now. I feel like my head is wrapped in cotton,” Felix said, trying to blink his vision clear.

“I’ll set my phone for a few hours. Let’s try to get some sleep. Maybe we’ll think clearer when we wake up.” Claybourne pulled Felix close.

“Good idea,” Felix whispered. He closed his eyes, and immediately fell asleep.
