Andrew's voice came through, all business: "What's missing?" "Looks like it's the medical gear Boss Helma left behind," Manuele reported, eyeing the empty space. "Boss Morgan, ever since the drug research wrapped up, Miss King and the docs have been gone. Who would come back to swipe stuff? Think i

Throughout Helma's visit, Ethan was the picture of attentiveness, never leaving her side.As she moved to sit down, he was right there with a chair.Settling in, Alan looked up at her, uncertainty in his eyes. "I know what the doctors told Ethan. Stomach cancer. It's bad, isn't it?"Helma's heart cl
Andrew's voice took on a serious edge: "I'm sending someone to Greenville First Hospital right away to pull up all the medical records for Ethan and his brother!"Neil's expression turned icy as he hung up the phone. He had suspected that someone was scheming to get close to the Kings, but he had no
At the desk, Helma was lost in thought, pondering over how to get her hands on some tech gear. She looked up at Charles's comment, "Relax, it's not going to be like that." Ethan would not dream of letting Alan hang out with them every day, even if they wanted to. As they mulled things over, the off

With everyone else keeping mum, Silver Obsidian cut to the chase, "We'll go with Helma's plan."For six months straight, Serena had practically lived in the lab. At first, Starlight Blossom did not seem to do much. Everyone was on edge, wondering if it would make any difference at all. Then, in the

Hort watched her walk away, a storm of emotions on his face.Ever since she joined the research center, he had seen Wendy as this super-capable girl with a heart of gold.Whenever the team hit a wall with the experiments or the data just would not play nice, Wendy was the one who would spark up the
The poor thing's symptoms were straight out of a horror flick: muscles clenching like crazy, nerves on fire, bleeding inside, gasping for air, and foaming at the mouth. Some of them even had their hearts stop cold turkey.According to the timeline, the rat had been juiced up with three rounds of Sta

After pulling two all-nighters, Helma had the report materials ready to go.The research center was deserted.She stretched, yawned, and glanced at the clock. One AM.She powered down her computer and left, still yawning.Once she was gone, a sneaky figure slipped into the office...Deputy Commander
