Sam had gone to the gym to try and work off her anxiety. She let out a deep breath as she allowed her feet to stop peddling and the exercise cycle came to a stop. After a minute she stood up grabbing her gym bag and towel on the way out of the weight room. Sam cleared her throat while taking deep breaths to try and bring her breathing back to normal.

As she walked down the hall, the event of this morning came back to her. She had found another riddle this morning when she was about to go to the gym. It had been on her living room table placed on top of her books, still Sam had no trouble recognizing the black envelope. And when she had pulled it open she had found the riddle:

.::.

Dangerous things can come in the simplest of forms,

this gift may be hard to recognize.

So try your best.

One touch is deadly,

one taste is lethal

be careful don't ignore it,

If you do,

you won't live to regret it.

Love,

Your Deadly Admirer

.::.

Sam narrowed her eyes in thought thinking about the riddle. It sounded like something poisonous, but what. She walked past a cart of water bottles deep in thought. Suddenly she stopped. "Wait a minute." She walked back to where the water bottles were. There in the middle of them was one that stuck out. Sam picked it up bringing it closer to her face. There was no mistake the water was a murky colour.

Somehow Sam knew this had something to do with her "Deadly Admirer." She sighed her hand on the lid wondering if it was safe to open the bottle. She brought the bottle closer again and upon inspecting it a second time she saw something on the inside label of the bottle, but it wasn't readable through the murky water.

Sam peeled of the label and read:

"Open the lid and you'll be sorry."

She froze placing the bottle in her gym bag making sure that it would not leak. Sam scrunched the label up in her fist and stuffed it in her pocket as she walked out of the gym.

As soon as she got home Sam went into her room and placed the bottle on her desk making sure to keep it away from anything else. She got her goggles and mask to cover her nose and mouth. Pulling on her gloves Sam carefully opened the bottle, and while she did it she held her breath. She carefully extracted a sample placing it on her X-powder for analysis. Sam sealed the bottle while she waited for the results.

Sam watched her device and it suddenly flashed "Analysis Complete." She narrowed her eyes.

Active Marburg Virus.

She gasped stepping away from the device, glad that she had worn all her protective gear. She had been sent a virus. She narrowed her eyes in anger. Sam knew that this was a lethal virus. It was capable of causing haemorrhages, skin deterioration, and also severe mental illness. Also most people who were affected by this virus died. She could have been killed. Sam placed the bottle in her lower cupboard, her hands shaking as she did it.

"He's trying to kill me...this proves it."

She ignored the part of her logical mind that tried to remind her of the warning she had found on the label undoubtedly by him. Whoever this was, he was doing everything in his power to intimidate her.

Sam gulped as she washed her hands staring at her scared face in the mirror. She couldn't even get her hands to stop trembling. She closed her eyes in agony. He was trying to scare her.

And it was working.
