VARGAS turned her screen to face them, displaying a split image. On the left was Hale's rough sketch of the remote's markings, and on the right, a high-resolution photograph of a small metal plate.
"I ran the partial markings through the system and got a match," Vargas said. "The symbol belongs to a piece of lab equipment in the cryogenics storage unit at Thorne Medical Research Lab—the kind used to preserve tissue samples."
Lewis leaned in for a closer look. "Who has access to it?"
"That's what you need to find out," Vargas replied. "I can't pull the sign-out logs from here. You'll have to go to the lab and check who checked out that device. The remote Hale used probably connects to that container."
Stevens stood. "If someone at Thorne signed it out and never returned it, they're likely involved."
Lewis nodded. "Send me the details, Vargas."

Lewis and Stevens arrived at Thorne Medical Research Lab less than an hour later.
