Texas and Golden Hair

Bai Ye set the boxed meal aside and ran off. Dr. Kal'tsit exchanged a glance with Closure, who reached out to touch the lunchbox and said in surprise:

"It's still warm."

Dr. Kal'tsit said nothing, only stared blankly at the lunchbox.

"Kal'tsit, what's wrong? Why do you look so out of it?"

Curious, Closure waved a hand in front of Kal'tsit's face.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, eating in the middle of the night isn't a good habit. I suggest you give it to me..."

"Don't you only like drinking motor oil?" Dr. Kal'tsit pulled the meal away.

"That may be true, but this smells so good... like it was just made."

Dr. Kal'tsit opened the lid, and steam rose from the lunchbox.

Poisoning people in the middle of the night—Bai Ye really had sinister intentions!

"Yakovlevich Red Sausage... it has been a long time since I last had any..."

Dr. Kal'tsit took out a fork and looked at the red sausage in the lunchbox as she spoke softly.

She had once served as director of the Chernobog Scientific Research
