Shelby returned to Sam. She hadn't moved since he had left. He gently
placed the cup next to her hand and walked away, returning to the
infirmary.
Sam sighed and took a sip of her steaming hot coffee. It was the best she had ever tasted. It made her feel all warm inside. She felt content. The weight of worry that had descended upon her shoulders lifted and she relaxed. It didn't take too long before the cup was emptied. She sat back and watched the fireworks that were dancing before her eyes.

Ten minutes had passed. The creature was sure that that had been long enough for the drug to take effect. He left the infirmary again, muttering excuses to Janet. She hadn't noticed that he'd left before. No one had and that meant that no one would suspect him.
Upon entering Sam's lab he saw what he wanted. Sam had curled up in a corner her hands were pressed against her head. She had never felt so much pain and she had never needed a coffee so badly.
Shelby smiled. He walked over to Sam and crouched down next to her.
"How does it feel?" He whispered maliciously, "to know that your life lies in the hands of one you consider an enemy and that there is nothing you can do about it? To be completely helpless?"
Sam looked up. She saw Shelby. "What have you done?" Her voice surprised her. It was barely a whisper, even though she wanted to shout. To reach out and kill the man that had done this to her, and her friends.
"Oh. Just, well lets day, enhanced your coffee." His eyes flashed.
"Who are you?"
He leaned close to Sam's ear. Her body was beginning t shake.
"Apophis."
Sam blacked out.
