Sierra had been in a somber mood, but Mateo’s rambling had her laughing despite herself

Seeing her smile, Mateo added, Sierra, you’re gonna run into more guys like that in the future. The second and third generations? They play way dirtier.” 

He didn’t know how else to put it. Sierra was justtoo clean. She couldn’t stand filth

But some stains couldn’t be scrubbed away

Every family had a few rotten ones

Sierra looked at him. You think the way I handled Trev was wrong?” 

Of course not!” 

Mateo shook his head quickly. He bullied you. You fought back. He had it coming.” 

I just meant” 

He fumbled for the right words, and Sierra finished them for him. Don’t be so cynical? Don’t be so selfrighteous?” 

Something like that.” 

He’d noticed it back in MavistonSierra had a strong sense of justice. If she didn’t, Kason would’ve been dealt with long ago

I’m not trying to be righteous. I just keep thinking about myself.” 

Sierra lowered her gaze. Back when I was in prison, when people were hurting me, I kept wishing someone would help. Someone who’d speak up and expose what they were doing.” 

But no one did

Not a single person showed upnot even when she got out

That’s why she chose to make everything public. Someone had to

Only people who’ve lived through it can understand how even the smallest hope can save lives

She didn’t expect everyone to get it. People who haven’t been there can’t possibly grasp what that 

kind of despair feels like

I’m sorry, Sierra.” 

Mateo got it now. He apologized quickly. That was my bad.”

You didn’t do anything wrong. We just come at it from different places.” 

Sierra didn’t want to keep talking about it. Just then, Mateo’s laptop pinged

Johnathan stepped out when he heard the alert, and the three of them gathered around the computer as Mateo quickly sorted the results

As far as domestic cases go, so far, Sierra’s is the only one. But there are a few cases abroad.” 

He pulled up the profiles while talking. Look, here they aredifferent dates.”

year

All of them were from a few years ago. The most recent one was just last 

That means the drug isn’t widespread,Sierra said

Exactly. Might just be something a few people are playing around with.” 

Of course, there’s also another possibilitythey just never had their blood tested.” 

In other countries, drug control was often much looser. Some people used all kinds of substances. just for fun, so when they got hit, they might not even realize it

Johnathan was more inclined to believe that second scenario

In some places abroad, recreational drugs were so common that nobody batted an eye

He looked at the first patient’s datadated five years back. Not exactly conclusive

What he really cared about was whether they were using his data

I’ll see if I can get my hands on it,Johnathan said

Since there were overseas cases, that meant the substance existed out there, Johnathan had spent years abroad. He had the right connections

They kept discussing the details over dinner. When it was over, Mateo left looking very satisfied

Soon after, Johnathan got an update

They got a sample of a similar dru 

In a few days, they’ll figure out how to get it to me.” 

He shared the news after ending a call

Sierra blinked. That fast?” 

She couldn’t help asking, What does your friend do, exactly?” 

Johnathan glanced at her, hesitating. Sierra immediately held up a hand. Forget I asked.”

He couldn’t help but chuckle. Some people survive off stuff like that.” 

At the end of the day, it was demand that kept crime alive

I get it.Sierra nodded. So don’t tell me.”

After spending another full day at home, Sierra was getting restless. She decided it was time to go. back to the lab

Johnathan hesitated for a long time, then finally agreed. The lab was heavily guardedrelatively 

safe

We still don’t know who’s behind this. So, I’ll be driving you there and picking you up.” 

Before Sierra could protest, he added, Not up for discussion.” 

He wasn’t going to let her get hurt again

Alright,she said
