Michelle stared in horror at this mad virus also known as the red death. Thrax glared and left the

room slamming the door so hard she was afraid that it would fall off its hinges, not that it would

be such a bad thing for her. But instead the door just crashed shut with a loud cracking sound.

She glanced around her surroundings. Plain white walls surrounded her.

Leah Jones sat at her desk typing up an important inquiry to be sent to the chief immediately.

Apparently, according to mayor Colonic, two of the guards at the stem cell weren't there this

morning and nobody had seen them since the left late last night.

"Leah?" asked mayor Colonic.

"Yes?" she asked with a sigh as she printed out and filed a copy of the finished report.

"Would you get my daughter on the line, I need to talk to her about the concert I said she could

attend tonight?"

She nodded and dialed the number only to find that she got the answering machine. [ Hello,

you've reached the Colonic residence! Leila and I aren't here right now but leave a message

after the--] Leah hung up.

"Mayor Colonic?"

"Yes?"

"She doesn't appear to be home."

"Oh," he said a bit worriedly.

She wondered if perhaps Leila was off with Michelle and dialed her own phone number in a bit

of anxiety.

Osmosis Jones sat in his cubicle at the station tossing paper wads in the garbage can while Drix made a pathetic attempt to get him to pick up the case on the missing security guards from the

report that just came in. They had just gotten back from the turf war after it unexpectedly

dissipated

"Drix, this'll be just another story about some guards who went to some club and got killed,

mark my words." Ozzy said trying to hide the fact that he really did want the case and leaning

back in his chair. The phone in his office rang and Ozzy was so surprised he fell backwards off

his chair. Mumbling and cursing he picked up the phone only to have his expression change

when he heard his wife on the other end.

"Ozzy baby?"

"Yeah Leah girl?"

"Is everything alright?"

"Just fine,"

"Have you heard from our daughter?"

"No, why?"

"Just wondering."

"That all?"

"Yes, see you later,"

"Don't overwork yourself," and with a mixed expression of confusion as to where his daughter

was and happiness that he always got when Leah called.
