Anna knew that Vivienne wanted her to neutralize the poison.
It was a test that came out of nowhere.
After Vivienne dropped that bombshell, she sat at the corner café, idly scrolling on her smartphone.
Anna's lips had turned a ghostly shade of white, her skin sprouting angry red welts, her breathing shallow and fast.
Within two minutes, Anna's limbs began to spasm, the skin on her arms peeling away to reveal festering sores.
The speed of it all was something Anna had not anticipated. She had thought she would have at least an hour. But it happened so rapidly!
Vivienne, seeing Anna's plight, was not surprised.
To keep the poison at bay for two minutes was an achievement in itself.
There were not many who could do that.
Vivienne handed Anna her half-finished latte.
As Anna drank it, the corrosive sores miraculously began to heal before their eyes, the hives receded, the spasms ceased, and color returned to Anna's lips.
Anna took a deep breath, relief washing over her.
For a split second, she had thought she was a goner.
"This poison's more vicious than GTO's," Anna said gravely.
Vivienne finally put away her phone. "GTO's child's play. Keep pushing."
Anna nodded, her gaze flickering past Vivienne, catching a swift shadow that disappeared as quickly as it emerged.
Vivienne's smile deepened. "Perhaps we should head back to the lab."
Anna was thinking the same. She clutched the latte - her lifeline.
She wanted to use the lab's equipment to dissect the concoction that had nearly claimed her life.
In the mall's underground parking lot.
Rex slid into his car, ignited the engine with the ferocity of a storm, and sped toward the lab.
