material that was used to make the serum. It was that very rare, carefully processed mercury which only needed his calibration and a couple of additions to ensure that everything was going to work out rather perfectly at the end of the day.
At the end of the day, what seemed as the most important thing at the time was for the good doctor to walk around the place, pretending as though he didn’t want any damn thing. Having worked in the company for years and years, Dr. Green had managed to master all of the spots where the surveillance cameras had been placed. And that said, he knew just when to duck and avoid and evade.
So he waited until the doctor who was in charge of the chemicals had gone for a short call and Dr. Greene seized his opportunity, making sure that he was doing everything as fast as possible. He quickly dashed in, dodged the surveillance camera and got into the huge fridge, got all the stabilized mercury that he wanted and then got out.
Dr. Greene just realized that he in another life, he would have made such an excellent pirate since he knew just how best to maneuver his way through traps and people and coming out without being seen.
The stabilized mercury that he had managed to steal from his company was going to last him almost five months of experiments and that said, the only thing that was left was for him just to kick back and make sure that virtually every single thing was getting to work out rather perfectly in the end.
“Hey, what are you doing here?”
“Oh, um, I came to see you. You know, it's been a while before I saw you, so I just popped in to say hey. So, hey!”
Dr. Howard took a close look at Dr. Greene, noticing that he was trying way too hard not to look tense. There was a stare down for a little while as if both of them were trying very hard to make sure that they weren’t having an awkward moment at the end of the day.
“That’s strange; you never care about coming here. But if its out of genuine concern, then thank you very much. I am doing fine sir.”
“Well, great. That’s just too great. So I will be on my way.”
That was a close shave that left Dr. Greene out of breath. But the good news was that he hadn’t been busted. The last thing he wanted was to be on the wrong side of Richardson, his boss.

“Ah, I see you brought yourself back. Tell me, how is everything fairing? Oh, don’t tell me. Let me guess; I think you have had a breakthrough. Am I correct?”
“Yes, you are. And just how did you get to know all about that huh?”
“Oh, it’s simple. You see, I know you. And I had the opportunity to check you out when you stepped through the door. I saw that you looked a little bit jovial than the last time. It’s a good thing that you keep on taking my advice. I am very much impressed, so you know!”
Dr. Greene didn’t want to talk that much since he figured that maybe he might just end up ruining the whole celebratory aura that was starting to form all over the place. Indeed, it had been an incredible victory. And that said, the only thing that would have made some amazing sense at the time would have been just to kick back and ensure that he had a splendid time. And so without further ado, Dr. Greene decided to change the topic, diverting it from his research.
“So, where the heck is my bottle? I think I have earned it already.”
Tori smiled right before reaching down on the bottom cabinet and pulled the bottle out. She had stuck to her promise which she had promised that she wasn’t going to consume a drop and that just made the right doctor smile.
From the look of things, it seemed as though Tori just made him happy. And sometimes, Dr. Greene didn’t have to talk to her to feel as though his spirits were getting lifted. All that he needed to do was to think about her, and a smile appears from nowhere. He even started thinking that maybe he was starting to fall in love but
