Lin carefully studied Noll from his desk. Noll was only reading. Not unusual, however, the literature in Noll's hands called for concern.

He was on about neuroscience again.

Drumming his fingers on his keyboard, Lin contemplated the wording of his email to Martin and Madoka. He felt it best to alert them that Noll's obsession had appeared to return, but Lin had no real proof, beyond the book in Noll's hands. A book in itself was enough to call for concern. Still, Lin couldn't shake the feeling there was something more to it.

Perhaps...he was paranoid.

A page turned.

Lin snapped his gaze from his screen to Noll.

Noll's features were unreadable.

Holding a hand to his head, Lin saved his email as a draft. He needed something more convincing before reporting back to London.
