Back in the Holy Roller, she scraped samplings from inside the straw, put the samples into a row of test tubes, and quickly ascertained the same things she found in the previous straw.

"Sugar, but with another chemical mixed in. My second screening indicated a petroleum base, so it isn't LSD, cocaine, or meth. I sent a sample back to the university to see if they could figure out what it is. But look here."

Nate leaned over her shoulder to take a close look at what she was showing him.

"See these stains? The sugar seems to have been concentrated in two small areas." She pointed them out with the tip of her tweezers. "Right here, about two inches from the end, and then here, about two inches from the other end. It's as if the sugar formed two small plugs at one time, blocking the straw in two places."

Nate straightened and thought a moment. "So, if we play `what if . . .' What if these straws are some kind of drug-making or drug-taking device?"

"If they are, it's brand-new. I've never seen anything like it before." She sighed in frustration. "I wish these victims weren't out of their minds. I'd like to ask them about this."

"What if they don't know anything anyway? What if Ian Snyder and his friends are behind this? They could have planted a straw in Tod Kramer's duffel bag and Leonard Baynes' pocket."

"They could plant a straw just about anywhere-in desks, backpacks, coats, lockers ..."

"But what in the world do the straws do, and how do they do it?" Nate drummed his fingers on his chin. "Then again, Ian Snyder and his friends may have nothing to do with it at all. This could be something totally unrelated."

"Well ... Elijah says he might be getting close to something."

"In the meantime, we'd better find out everything there is to know about this straw."
