“These people are with me,” Nancy Sellers said.

Nancy, Sheila, and Pitt were standing in front of the Serotec Pharmaceutical night security desk. The guard was fingering her ID. Nancy had already shown it at the gate before driving onto the parking area.

“You people have any picture IDs?” the security man asked Sheila and Pitt. Both produced driver’s licenses which satisfied the man. The trio trooped to the elevator.

“Security is still on edge after the suicide,” Nancy said.

The reason Nancy had them get there so early was to avoid the other workers. And it worked. As yet no one else had arrived, and the entire fourth floor was empty. The fourth floor was reserved entirely for biological research. There was even a small menagerie of experimental animals at one end.

Nancy unlocked her private lab, and they all entered. She locked the door behind them. She did not want any interruptions or questions.

“Okay!” Nancy said. “We are going to wear containment suits and everything will be done under a level three hood. Any questions?”

Neither Sheila nor Pitt had any.

Nancy led them into a side room which had changing cubicles. She gave them appropriate-sized gear and let them change. She changed as well.

Meeting back in the main room Nancy said: “Now, let’s have the samples.”

Sheila produced the coffee-creamer jar containing the snippet of desk blotter. She also produced multiple blood samples from people who’d acquired the flu. The samples had been drawn at various stages of their illness.

“All right,” Nancy said, rubbing her gloved hands together in anticipation. “First I’m going to show you how to inoculate a tissue culture.”
