Shannon waved hello and Logan walked towards her. She pulled out a folder and looked at Logan as he approached. "So, what have we got today?" asks Logan.

"Well," Shannon paused as she looked at Logan. Shannon was a sort of heavy African woman and when she stared at you with the serious look she had on her face, you knew something was wrong. Logan looked straight back at her.

"Is there something wrong? Did one of my patients die?" Logan asked very nervously.

"No one died, but a bunch of people came into the ER today with the same problems, some more severe than others. We've taken blood samples, but our equipment is too old and can't detect any problems."

"What's wrong with the patients? What are their symptoms?" asked Logan.

"Well, follow me and I'll show you." replied Shannon. "They've all got an unknown skin disease." Logan and Shannon walked into the Intensive Care Unit. "We had to place them here due to their conditions." Logan looked around and saw a bunch of purplish colored men and women laying in the hospital beds. "We had one particularly bad case just an hour before you arrived. This one." Shannon said pointing to a man who's skin had rotted off around the mouth and his eyes weren't even in their sockets.

"What happened to this one?" Logan asked.

"We're not sure. When we brought him in his skin was a peach color, but then he started convulsing violently and turned this color." Logan studied the color, it was a very rich and dark purple. Almost like velvet. "Well, anyway" Shannon began again, "Once we got him in the ER, he flatlined and we couldn't revive him. After we all thought he was dead, his heart started again but his lip had rotted and his eyes fell out. Then he died again, but instead of falling down he kept on moving and tried to bite some of the doctors. We got him under control and strapped him into this bed."

"Where are you sending the blood samples?" Logan asked.

"Boulder." replied Shannon.

"Don't send them, I'll take them myself."

"Alright then, I'll just call down to the Lab and tell Jeremy to get the blood samples ready for you."

"Thank you Shannon." said Logan. He leaves the ICU and gets on the elevator. He presses three to get to the MedLab. Logan wonders to himself why they play such shitty music in elevators. When the doors open, he steps off and heads toward the Lab. He swipes his keycard in the lock and walks in. Jeremy was bent over a microscope looking at something.. Logan walks up to him and yells "Hey! What's up?" Jeremy jumps.

"Jesus Christ Logan. You scared the living shit out of me." yells Jeremy.

Logan laughs and then asks "Where are the blood samples?" Jeremy points to a cooler sitting on the table next to him.

"Thanks, I'll bring you something back." says Logan

"Damn right you will." says Jeremy.

"Bye."

"Bye." Logan walks out to his car and turns off the alarm. He sits in the drivers seat and sets the cooler on the seat next to him. He straps it in the seat with the seat belt and starts the engine. He shifts into reverse and backs out of his spot. Logan rides off into the sun towards Boulder.
