Kapitel 76: 76 - Alone

"I will never let you be alone, ever again."

The past 24 hours had been a blur of frenetic activity, a non-stop adrenaline rush that mirrored the ups and downs of a rollercoaster.

By chance, Mia Sanders' blood was caught in the handkerchief Maximillian kept in his front pocket. His sharp instincts told him that something was amiss with the strange woman, so he dabbed the blood from his own coat onto the handkerchief and stored it in a secure, cooled compartment in his car.

The next day, after leaving Mia in the care of the local police, Maximilian hurried to Dr. Lily-Anne Koch with the evidence. Initially resistant to analyzing blood outside Bruno Cadwick's case, Dr. Koch eventually yielded to Maximilian's persuasion. The results were nothing short of a revelation. Mia Sanders' blood contained the same ominous drug found in Bruno Cadwick's.
