Pete handed her a USB drive and said in a low voice, "Ms. Jayston, this is all I could find. I can't Investigate further. It's too dangerous." Noticing Pete's reluctance to discuss his injuries, Nyla decided not to press the issue. She accepted the USB drive with a nod. "Understood. I'll transfer your payment shortly. Thank you for your hard work during this time. I'm sorry about your injuries," Nyla said. Pete said nothing more. He stood up and added, "Ms. Jayston, I'll be leaving now."

After sconsideration, Nyla decided to meet with Lucia. The latter had been the first to suggest that the been the first Harris Pharmaceuticals accident was no accident, so she might have more information.

A series of knocks cat the door, followed by a maid's voice. "Mrs. Sumner, dinner is ready."
Nyla hummed in response and went downstairs. She saw Clark sitting in the dining room with a computer in front of him, engaged in a video call with a subordinate. Upon seeing Nyla, Clark said, "The meeting will end here. We'll continue at eight tonight." After ending the call, he set the computer aside and looked at Nyla.
