Bella furrowed her delicate brows as she took the packet of pills and examined it closely.

Ralph explained, "This stuff is extremely potent. It can become highly addictive with a single use and has minimal side effects. It can keep a person hyperactive for days without a hint of fatigue."

He glared angrily at the suspects in the police car, seething with rage. "Damn it! We barely eradicated the last drug, and now this Crystal Ice shows up! It's like a never-ending battle!" "Ralph, is this Crystal Ice only circulating in Savrow? Has it spread to other cities?"

"So far, no reports from elsewhere. Even here, it only appeared in the past month. We're doing our best to track its source, but all we've managed to catch so far are small-time dealers. There aren't any major breakthroughs yet."

Bella fell silent, contemplating. She then lowered her voice. "Ralph, could you give me one of the pills? I have a use for it."

Ralph looked startled, but she quickly added, "Don't worry I won't harm anyone, nor myself. I just want to analyze the drug's composition."

"The lab already tested it. It's definitely a drug."

"I have a different purpose. Please, Ralph, just this once?"

Ralph pressed his lips together, then, taking advantage of a moment when his colleagues weren't looking, slipped a single blue pill into Steven's hand.

After Ralph left, Matt, having been thrown off by his encounter with Bella, quietly departed as well.
