VALERIE

One day away from the hospital and we've had a lot of cases of the mysterious iliness that there is still no

answer to. They are calling it ARK1.

“It’s spreading from the north of the country. So far there's been cases mentioned in several bigger cities, but

surprisingly it's not really been covered by the news,” Cassian explains, pointing at the screen where recorded

numbers of the patients with this illness were submitted.

“These are all from the strust though, we have no idea about the real numbers from other hospital trusts,

do we?” | ask, slipping my hands into my pockets, watching as he scrolls down the page, and | look at the blood

results.

‘Correct. And the government is busier with the entire shifter rubbish. No offence.” He frowns.

“None taken. I'd rather they leave us be and focus on what is more important, but our opinions really don’t

matter. How have journalists not picked this up?”

“Well, I'm not sure, but we are ordered to downplay it so as not to cause fear

until we have more-

answers as to what this is.”

Cause fear... half the things they showed on the news instilled fear, like the things about us werewolves...

“Can | do sresearch? | know that is not the field that I've applied for here, but I've worked with and seen a

lot of mysterious poisons and illnesses. Maybe | can help find an antidote.”

Cassian looks at me, tilting his head slightly. “Alright. I'll have a word with the board. I'm sure they'll be ok for us

to work on this together.” He smirks slightly and my eyes widen.

“Oh.” | didn’t realise he was the one doing research...

“Oh? That doesn’t sound like a very happy ‘Oh’. Are you ok doctor Valerie?” There's a flirtatious hint in his voice

and that needs to stop.

“I am ok, | just didn’t realise you were taking the lead on research, umm. I'm fine with working with you, Doctor

Owen.” | reply formally.

He raises an eyebrow before the smirk grows a little. “I'm looking forward to it.”

“Oh yeah, before | forget about the charity ball-"

“Doctor Owen, you're needed in the ICU, now.” A nurse calls, a little breathlessly, from the doorway.

“I'll see you later,” Cassian says, patting my arm before he hurries from the room. I'm left alone, and | slowly

look back at the screen, skimming through the file he was showingand sit down in his seat as | read through

it carefully.

A mutation of the white cells... the body begins shutting down one organ at a time

high blood pressure... cardiac arrest... there is no pattern to the patients... of all ages and from different ethnic

backgrounds...

The more | read, the more something feels off. Why is this not something that anyone is talking about? We are

facing a virus of skind that is killing people.

| take a few photos on my mini tablet, observing the results.

This is-

“Doctor Scott.”

My head snaps up when | realise | have beccompletely caught up and look around, it takes a second for me

to remember exactly where | am.

“Yes?” | ask, looking at Nancy.

Annoying. She's the one from the takeout...

“There's a patient in room 7 who refuses to see a male doctor. Can you tend to her?”

“Of course,” | say, standing up. She looks at the seat | was sitting in but says nothing, even though her judgy

eyes say otherwise. But I'm not here to entertain her. “What is she admitted with?”

“She's suffering from severe tummy aches but is refusing to let Doctor Malcolm examine her. We have been

unable to take any stats since she wants to be seen by a female doctor.”

“I see.”

We walk down the hall together and she keeps givingthose side eyes, but | ignore her and I'm relieved when

she is called and goes her own way and | enter room 7 smiling at the woman who seems to have been crying.
