“Please refrain from touching, my madam!” Kent warned, his eyes cold as he glared at Target.

“Okay, Okay!” Target exclaimed, holding his hands up and backing off slowly.

Frowning, Madam Jewel reached into her bag for a hand sanitizer, taking some of it with trembling fingers, and dabbing it onto her hands and wrists.

Are you sick?” Scorpio asked in a deadpan tone, resting back in his chair.
