Evelyn Ford was busy in the lab while Ronan Kendrick waited for her in the adjacent break room. Liam Sterling's walkie-talkie kept buzzing. He stepped outside to take the call and returned with a grim expression.
"Over three hundred people have died in Flumen's hospital, and more than a thousand are infected in the resettlement housing shelter. Things are starting to get chaotic over there."
Ronan Kendrick glanced at the busy Evelyn Ford inside the lab. "You should go. I'll stay here with Evelyn."
Liam Sterling nodded. "Alright. Thank you both for your hard work, Mr. Kendrick. I have to get to the hospital in Flumen."
"Take this." Ronan Kendrick pulled a small bottle from his jacket pocket. Inside was a single black pill.
"What is it?"
"Medicine. Take it or don't, it's up to you." Ronan Kendrick shoved the bottle into Liam Sterling's hand, then turned his attention back to Evelyn.
