"Connor has a toxin in his system. It's Angel Isis Chlorosis. It's from a different era than the Raptorex."
Stephen looks at the professor confused. "What? How? How can he be exposed he hasn't exhibited any pain or anything I think…" Stephen says, suddenly feeling guilty that he hasn't even really talked to the younger man in a while.
"His eyesight was a symptom. You see, this toxin is slow acting if your system is running well but Connor lost a lot of blood," Cutter explains, looking at the root in his book.
"How was he exposed? I mean this stuff can't just be lying around?" Stephen asks, furrowing his brow.
"I exposed him to it by making him clean up a jar I broke on the floor..." Cutter says, looking at the book hiding his guilt from his colleague.
Connor grabs Abby's hand in a light squeeze. His head is throbbing unbearably at his temples.
He leans his head against the back of the elevator.
He can feel Abby's green eyes on him he opens his eyes and looks at her.
She has concern etched all over her features.
He's also surprised to see Farrah, the young teen, looking at him as well.
"Connor you can lay down here." She pats' her thighs.
He looks at her then complies, his head hurting too bad for him to even think.
Abby looks over at the young girl after Connor lies on her lap.
Her eyes flick from the door to Connor every once in a while.
"Um, Farrah, why do you keep looking at the door?"
"I'm claustrophobic. My cousin locked me in a closet when I was a kid." She says, looking at the blonde.
"Oh…Hey wait, how old are you?"
"I'm seventeen."
"Wow." She says, stroking Connor's hair comfortingly.
The girl laughs. "I get that a lot, also a lot of where is your mommy?"
Abby smiles. Connor looks up at her, despite his head hurting. He enjoys seeing her smile.
"Where are you from?" Abby asks.
"Virginia, unfortunately. I'm here on a school trip." She says, looking at the blond, then at Connor, then back.
They continue their conversation. Connor listens silently with his eyes closed and a smile on his face.
