Dr.Kramer asked, "What is it, Dr.Tanner?"
Irene gathered herself and said, "It's nothing."
Dr.Pitt returned just then, and as she sat down, she asked, 'Why aren't either of you eating?"
"We were waiting for you," Dr.Kramer said.
"Eat already," Dr.Pitt said as she picked up a pair of uniquely shaped cutlery.
"You know how to use that?" Dr.Kramer asked.
"It's not that difficult," Dr.Pitt smiled.
"And as the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
A waitress arrived with two coffees and a glass of milk just then, leaving Dr.Kramer perplexed.
"We didn't order that."
"I did," Dr.Pitt said, and passed Irene the milk.
"You shouldn't drink coffee while pregnant, so I ordered this for you."
"Thanks, chief,"
Dr.Kramer said, and picked up his cup of coffee.
Irene took her milk and thanked Dr.Pitt too, taking a sip since she was feeling thirsty.
As they ate, Irene started to feel a little dizzy.
Noticing that, Dr.Kramer asked, "What's wrong, Dr.Tanner?"
Irene shook her head.
"I'm fine...I think I'm just tired."
Dr.Pitt said, "Then you should get some rest."
"Yeah."
Irene got to her feet.
"I think I'll return to my room."
That was when her eyes lingered on the glass of milk and she came to a realization.
"Is that milk...spiked?"
Why else would she suddenly feel enfeebled out of the blue? Dr.Pitt gave her a look then.
"You catch on quick.Yes, I spiked it—the caller just now insisted that I bring you in.The investigation
concluded that you were the one who stole our data, and if I don't bring you in, my whole career would
be over.This is my only option if I don't want to be fired before my retirement."
Dr.Kramer did not move an inch from surprise —Dr.Pitt's composure and cunningness certainly
shocked him.
At the same time, Irene's fingers were digging into her chair while her consciousness began to blur.
"Give up already,"
Dr.Pitt said.
"I knew you're sharp, so I kept the dosage at a level where you'd never notice until you lost
consciousness completely."
Irene knew that she must not fall at this stage of pregnancy, or her baby would be in danger.
As her body started to turn to jelly, she slowly crouched, reducing the impact of the fall as she
eventually blacked out and dropped to the floor.
The waitress noticed and came to help, but Dr.Pitt gestured for Dr.Kramer to carry Irene while telling
the waitress, "We're taking her to the hospital."
As they left the restaurant, Dr.Kramer asked, "Where are we going? “
"Anywhere but here.They have a chopper waiting for us."
Dr.Kramer nodded—they were Minervans, and naturally prioritized their own nation.
Meanwhile, Isaac had summoned Zachary Slate to his office.
He had an idea on how to find Lulu, and that means starting work on Ember Lindt —the prime suspect
of Lulu's disappearance.
"Why did you call me here?"
Zachary was clearly moody after that disgruntling lunch with Isaac and Irene.
Isaac, however, was staring daggers at him too.
"Did you think I would get involved with your mess if not for Irene?"
"What do you mean, my mess?" Zachary asked, even though he clearly lacked the confidence.
"Trene asked me to find Lulu, and we both think that Ember Lindt was involved—"
"No way.She's the victim," Zachary said, cutting Isaac short before he could finish.
Isaac looked at him as if he was an idiot just then, his impatience building! Beside them, James said,
"We will test her to see if that's true."
Zahcary asked, "How?"
"Just watch."
James then whipped out his phone and texted Ember!
