so worked up in front of them, another first—calling Angie by Angela. He thought for a fleeting moment that Angie had allowed some outsider into the lab somehow, and they had stolen something from Mara’s office. He couldn’t help but let a smile form on his face, but he bit his lip in an effort to disguise it. Is miss goodie-goodie busted?
    “I just got in. Lex wasn’t here yet, late as usual,” she tossed him a salty glare. “I began setting up for the Kale Project, when Mr. Meadows came into the lab. He said there had been an incident upstairs. One of the pharmacy techs had made a mistake in ordering the supplies for the flu shot clinic. He said, that security reported that some of the vaccines were delivered to our lab by mistake. I told him, we haven’t worked with flu vaccine in months, and I thought security may have been mistaken.
    “He said security x-rays all incoming packaging and a package was delivered this morning to our lab. He had a bill of lading and a print out of the x-ray scan, it clearly showed influenza vaccine.”
    Taking in a deep breath, Angie began to twirl her copper colored, straight hair, as an expression of anxiety began to dampen her ivory features.
    “He asked where it may be, I took him to the cold storage cabinets, and we searched them,” Angie looked to the south end of the lab at the cabinets she referred to. “We didn’t see them anywhere, and he seemed impatient. He made me nervous.”
    Mara nodded, “Angie, continue. Did you go into my office next?”
    “Yes, he asked if it may be anywhere else. I told him, the only other place it could have been was in your office, in the mini fridge. He went into your office and I followed. He found the syringes right away and asked why there were hold tags on them. I told him, I didn’t even know about us having the vaccine in the lab and had no clue why they were on hold. We looked at the x-ray print out of the vaccine, and they didn’t have hold tags on them,” Angie’s rosy lips quivered. She seemed as if she were a child about to be scolded by her mother.
    “He took them,” Mara said shaking her head. “Okay. Do either of you know when this flu shot clinic starts? Is it this week, tomorrow, what?”
    Lex creased his brow and rubbed his fingers over his mohawk, “Um… Mara, it was today. It had just wrapped up as I got in.”

CHAPTER SEVEN
    “ No word on the whereabouts of this Haley girl? Fine then, thank you for the update Randy. I am pleased to hear that this issue has been resolved without incident and that your team has already returned from the assignment,” a man said, hanging up his office phone, as he heard a knock at the door.
    “ Come in!” he shouted after a heavy sigh.
    The man sat behind an imposing, oak desk, lacquered to a high shine. The immaculate desk has no dust, scratches or scuffs. It is wiped down nightly by the cleaning crew. James Meadows has fired six members of the cleaning crew, in the last four months, for not having an eye for perfection when it comes to his office. Arguing, that if they can't be detailed in their work, especially in the boss’s office, how could they be trusted to do a respectable job with the rest of the building? After all, this is a laboratory hospital, cleanliness being the upmost of importance.
    His appearance is even more of a priority than his office. He waited on his visitor, seated in a two thousand dollar, ergonomic chair, and clothed in a charcoal designer suit. A crisp white button up shirt adorned with a solid black tie peeked through the blazer, and a white gold Rolex draped across his wrist. His hair is short, jet black with white and silver gleaming through on the sides above his ears. Being the Chairman of Angora, a prestigious lab running some of the nation’s leading research, he maintains a strict fitness regimen to maintain his health and appearance. He is immodest of his rather muscular body at age sixty-two, making him feel unparalleled to the
