For such a jumpy guy, Dr. Meng wasn’t answering his com, and that made Kheefal nervous. He scanned through the mad scientist’s daily logs again. Finally, Meng answered on hands-free video mode. A tiny holographic version of him shimmered above the com; blood splatters covered his white lab coat, and he wore a mixture of frustration and impatience on his face.

“What is it?”

Kheefal sighed heavily. He hated eating crow. “Much as I hate to admit it,” he said, “but you may have been right.”

Tiny Meng looked down his nose at him.

“About the investigators,” Kheefal explained. “I’ve been digging through your daily logs. You don’t do much and you never go anywhere so it didn’t look like there was any threat.”

Meng huffed. “Get to your point, Kheefal.”

“My point is: people have come to you… these special ‘deliveries’ you’ve gotten from the Azhoolien gangsters? It’s been a while since you had one, but they used to come regularly.”

Even at the current scale, Kheefal could tell Meng had frowned.

“I think you ought to evac, Doc. Pull back to the alternate laboratory as soon as you can. I’ll meet you there soon.”

He waved his bloody hands to indicate his lab coat and protested. “I’m kind of in the middle of something, Kheefal.”

“Well, you better finish immediately and move out. I’m outside of the Azhoolien’s compound watching that team of Investigators duke it out with them, right now. If you want to be safe, follow your backup contingency. If there’s any chance they might find a connection to you or your lab, you’d better move.”

Dr. Meng stared sharply at him through the communicator. “Meet me at the reserve lab as soon as this threat has passed. Kheefal, deal with this.”
