Things were quiet since the last trip to the hospital. Rinni Faithe wondered if maybe Dr. Gerard had managed to solve this disease on his own. She didn't realize how wrong she was until she received a letter from the doctor himself. She thanked the mail deliverer and then proceeded to open and read the letter. Dear Miss Faithe and Miss Ashflare, I regret to inform you, the situation has gotten worse since we last spoke. I send my apologies for being unable to address you in person, however, I've been busy dealing with a new virus that seems to be spreading throughout the city. The new virus in question is very dangerous. It seems to cause the victim to become inherently aggressive, attacking anything in sight. What's worse? It's not only affecting humans! The wildlife in the area has become infected as well! In fact, there is a pack of wild boar near a stream just outside the city that has been especially difficult to deal with. This is where the hard part comes in. I want you to sedate one of the boar, by any means possible, and bring it back alive for research purposes. Sincerely, Dr. Gerard Rinni folded up the letter and sighed. She was afraid something like this would happen. She headed off to find Tempris, as this letter was for both of them. Besides, it sounded as though she'd need help to face a pack of potentially infected boar. Once she found Tempris and updated her on the situation, the two girls would head to the stream where they would spot five boars. Out of the five, only one seemed to take notice of them. That must be the infected one. As it turned toward them, hoof pawing the ground, Rinni spoke calmly to Tempris, "Remember, we need it alive." _________ WC 460/1,000 |
