## Plot

### Chapter One

Shannon Kane arrives late at her and her husband Henry Kane's science lab known as Kane Advance Research and Technology also known by the acronym "**KART**" where she arrives with Henry's breakfast. She goes inside the science lab on to see the lab worker Joel Piper briefly mistaking him for Henry due to him wearing Henry's lab coat, she then goes to see Henry and brings him his breakfast while also greeting him and giving him his government files. Shannon asks Henry what they are working on and Henry is hesitant to tell her due to how she tends to react to things like this assignment and informs her they are working on a Tundra Flower a rare species of flower from Antarctica. This flower was evidently given to Henry by a pal of his who loaned it to him and wanted nothing bad to happen to it, Joel then comes in and starts to showing the lab off to his YouTube channel much to Shannon's annoyance.

The three then go down to the testing area of the lab and use LINAC a "Linear Particle Accelerator" on the flower however they do not want to destroy it so they slowly raise the energy with each shot. Joel records the whole thing and as they get ready Shannon becomes flirty with her husband much to his surprise before Joel tells them to keep it "PG" they then blast the plant however Henry being to sure of himself shoots the plant with too much energy causing an explosion. Everyone survives the explosion but Joel is shocked by it and states that he thinks all of them almost just died, Shannon is annoyed by Joel's remark and states that he was the only safe one as her and Henry are up and front while he is behind reinforced glass. Henry invites Joel to come see the specimen or rather what's left of it but Joel still scared by the explosion rejects the offer to go smoke a cigar to get his body to stop shaking. Henry is disappointed by Joel's lack of enthusiasm but accepts it, however Shannon worried for hers and her husband's safety suggests the 2 quarantine in case they've contracted radiation poisoning. After collecting a sample of the specimen and Henry determining they were safe Shannon suggested they go somewhere, Henry at first refused due to the work they had to do but Shannon convinced him, Shannon wanted to have a discussion with Joel but Henry told her to leave him alone as if he smoked after the explosion he'd need a cigar as well.

Joel soon returned and Henry and Shannon got Chinese take out which Joel fetched for them, Henry was so excited from the results he'd received that he ate in a messy manner. Henry then told Shannon that he had a theory that the plant they just melted was possibly a devolved live form that with the radiation they melted into guts but Shannon disagreed given it didn't act like any scientific life form seen on the planet. Shannon then advised Henry to get some sleep which he attempted to refuse but Shannon insisted and Henry said he would in a bit, Shannon then asked what the light show from earlier was but Henry wasn't sure about it except for the fact that it was pretty. The 2 then took a nap but when Shannon woke up she found Henry narrating into a recorder, Henry noticing Shannon waking up stopped and joked about the radiation issue Shannon was worried about. Shannon then asked about why Henry was doing this causing him to feign ignorance until Shannon pushed more, Henry told her a colleague of his was running an expedition in Antartica and she wanted him to experiment. Upon hearing the word "she" come out of his mouth Shannon questioned Henry who joked about the colleague being his ex-wife but in reality the 2 had only gone on a few dates causing Shannon to playfully hit Henry.

The 2 then looked at the security feed seeing that everything went normal at first, however when the specimen was hit, it caused the screen to go pixely and the camera to blank out and break. Shannon told Henry that due to this Shannon would need to call the oncologist and Henry would need to go to the bank, Henry at first thought Shannon was joking but Shannon made it clear she was serious. Joel then called Shannon due to Henry's phone being dead because he needed to talk to Henry, Shannon gave the phone to Henry who proceeded to talk to Joel. As Henry and Joel talked, Shannon focused on the security camera and saw that there was no actual explosion and that it was all light which disturbed her and made her wonder what could've caused the camera to break. Henry's call soon ended and he asked Shannon if she was okay which she said she was, Henry then told her that he sent Joel home and they were alone now, Shannon at first assumed he was gonna ask for something which he did but it was not what she was thinking and so Shannon did what he asked that being to charge his phone. However when she got back she noticed the loading dock was open and assumed it was Joel's fault, after closing it she went down the elevator only to see her husband being held up by a Bald man and a Blond man. The men wanted to experiment secret's Henry had and Henry secretly collaborated with Shannon to stop the men, Shannon acted as normal getting the briefcase but then dropping it before turning around. Henry offered to help her but the men refused to let him and had her get it, the 2 forced Shannon to open it with the password provided by Henry and seeing that they got what they came for they shot and killed Henry to Shannon's horror. Shannon kicked the briefcase knocking Bald off his feet and then ran for the LINAC which caused the men to shoot after her but she managed to turn it on and aim it at them, in the ensuing battle, Blond's right hand was severed causing him to scream in pain.

Shannon hoped it would kill the 2 so she wouldn't die however it did more than injure anyone as it set fire to the base, Joel arrived and Shannon watched in shock as he ran away with the thieves. Shannon then pushed herself up bleeding from the LINAC causing a mess and pressed the fire alarm before passing out.

### Chapter Two

Shannon awoke within the hospital finding herself bloodied, bruised, and unable to breath with a nurse helping her, the nurse gave Shannon some water and ice to drink. Shannon then asked the nurse where she was and the nurse informed her she was at Greenwell General Hospital, Shannon was thankful to be alive and asked what was going on. The nurse informed her that she'd been picked up from KART after the lab had been found burning, Shannon briefly in denial asked where Henry was and the nurse did not answer giving Shannon the answer without telling her. The nurse informed Shannon that detective Mike O'Bell had been put on the case, Shannon was happy hoping that he could find Blond and Bald but was disappointed to find that it was only one person put on the case. Shannon brought up Henry's murder to which the nurse confused stated that Henry's cause of death had been identified as being from too much smoke inhalation. When talking to Doctor Hans he informed her of the same thing.

Shannon was shocked by this and asked to meet with the detective to which the nurse said she would contact him, Shannon then asked to call her family members as she wanted to tell them about Henry's death. The nurse and doctor went to go fetch Shannon a phone to call with as she slept hoping to wake up with Henry near her, moments later they came back with the phone in hand, Shannon asked when she should return it and the nurse told her that she should return it whenever she liked. Shannon then turned on the phone and secretly signed into KART to see that all its secret files were still there and so changed the password for the sign in so Joel couldn't get in, in case he tried to. Moments later detective O'Bell arrived to ask Shannon some questions, Shannon went over how her and Henry met and got married along with the ridicule they face from some due to Shannon being younger than Henry and how her family reacted to it. After getting all that out of the way she told him everything, however O'Bell did not seem to care about Shannon's story and asked questions more on how Henry and Shannon made money. O'Bell also informed her that according to every file they had, no such person as "Joel Piper" existed or ever had, so Shannon showed him the video from their experiment, O'Bell was intrigued by this and told her to send them to him. O'Bell also implied that from what the courts and doctors believed Shannon was being charged with first degree murder and arson before leaving.

Shannon was saddened and angered by this and sunk back into her bed sleeping, sometime later she was visited by someone with a Western accent, Shannon was confused by his presence. The person told her his name was Doctor Miller and that he took the night shift, Doctor Miller asked her a few questions about the incident which Shannon answered and Doctor Miller told Shannon he believed her to her relief. Shannon went back to sleep only to be awoken by Blond and Bald covering her mouth, Bald had a syringe in his hand and Blond who held her down taunted her telling her she was gonna meet her husband soon. Shannon however quickly took Blond's hand off her mouth and screamed, Blond quickly grabbed her mouth even harder and hoped nobody heard her as Bald prepared to stick the needle into her IV. Suddenly Doctor Miller arrived and beat up Blond and Bald allowing Shannon to escape and the 2 ran out of the room, Shannon guessed from the way Doctor Miller was acting and his accent that he wasn't a real doctor which he admitted to. Shannon demanded and explanation but "Doctor Miller" refused to giver her one and refused to tell her his real name telling her it "wasn't important", Shannon and him then headed to his car which didn't look like the standard super spy car to which Shannon commented on. "Doctor Miller" informed her that while that does happen in the movies in real life agents are more secretive.

The 2 then drove off only to be chased by allies of Blond and Bald to which "Doctor Miller" had Shannon drive while he shot at the criminals however due to her PTSD from Henry's death, Shannon did not do so great the driving every time she heard a gun shot. Shannon once again asked for "Doctor Miller's" real name to which he stated that he didn't really have one due to being a secret agent as he had many aliases, Shannon asked what he was called when not on missions to which "Doctor Miller" stated that he was called Ninety-Nine. Shannon retorted sarcastically that Agent 99's name was a number to which he retorted back that everyone is a number in some way, Agent 99 attempted to call the spy agency in the United Kingdom only to be put on hold, Shannon suggested she hold the phone while he drove since she wasn't doing great but Agent 99 argued that it was a bad idea due to Shannon not knowing any of the secret codes. Shannon argued that tonight had been strange enough and since she wasn't doing great at driving at least she could shoot to which the agent agreed and Shannon poked her head out from the passenger side and starred down a criminal trying to shoot her and shot back at him killing the criminal causing them to loose the vehicles pursuing them. Agent 99 asked Shannon if she was alright to which she sarcastically asked him whether he thought she was alright or not.

### Chapter Three

The 2 eventually arrived at KART, which had long since been abandoned after the accident but there was still police tape to ward off any intruders, the 2 went inside but Shannon felt squeamish due to this being the place her husband died. Nonetheless, Shannon and Agent 99 entered the building and after exploring a bit Shannon saw the spot where Henry died causing her to puke, Agent 99 out of respect did not bring up Shannon's puking much to her relief. Shannon then pulled out her tablet and showed the video of them experimenting on the specimen but Joel did not appear in the video, Shannon informed Agent 99 that Joel had covered his tracks. Shannon, however, remembered the YouTube channel and searched for it regretting having not shown the detective earlier only to find that Joel's channel did not come up to which she sadly remarked that Joel had covered his tracks. Agent 99 then stepped out to take a phone call as Shannon went to the brief case containing the specimen and typed into the code "Moab" the place where Henry had proposed to her. Shannon then remembered that her and Henry had all their samples tracked and used the app to find the specimen which was at 540 Metro Building, Agent 99 wanted to go there alone and take Shannon to a hotel but she refused and insisted on going with him.

The 2 arrived at the building which was bustling with activity as many events had taken place at the building, the 2 look around for any sign of Joel or the criminals who killed her husband. Agent 99 offered Shannon some peanuts noticing that she had not eaten in a long while but Shannon refused them so Agent 99 ate them himself, Shannon however spotted Joel. The 2 followed him and eventually cornered him and while Agent 99 distracted him Shannon punched him briefly dislocating her knuckles which she reset once they entered the van. Agent 99 then began interrogating Joel brutally however Shannon could not handle it and so opted to force him to talk himself, Joel however refused until Shannon stated that she had poisoned his drink with a previous experiment. Joel began to panic upon hearing this and so informed her that a man from Developed Micronics, LLC approached him and Joel assuming they were just a rival company joined them, sending them information from inside KART but that he didn't think murder would be involved when he finally let their members in. Joel apologizes for having betrayed Shannon and Henry and Shannon accepted his apology and told him to make up for it he could tell them where to find the specimen, Joel stated it was in the building but he wasn't sure where.

Shannon believed Joel who then requested to be taken to a hospital to get the poison out, Shannon however revealed the poison was a hoax, this angered Joel who cursed at her. After getting the information, Agent 99 told her he was gonna check out the place much to Shannon's confusion, Agent 99 told Shannon that he was not gonna take her there due to her deteriorating condition as she hadn't slept, eaten, or bathed in days. Agent 99 told her that she with no offense to her looked like she'd been run over by a car, Shannon after checking herself out agreed with the agent who took her home. Shannon then proceeded to take a shower with the shower reminding her of her husband and comforting her with thoughts of him.

### Chapter Four

Shannon went into her later husband's office and felt nostalgic once inside, however Shannon was not gonna give up on solving the case of his murder. She opened a drawer to find many papers from other companies offering to buy KART, shocking Shannon as she had not been informed of this and wondered why. She then saw the other draw but saw that it was locked and so broke the lock and saw cassette tapes inside which she listened to with all of them being Henry narrating certain things that happened. Listening to the tapes reminded Shannon of important events her and her later husband had done like their 1-month honeymoon, however on recurring name she heard was that Henry had a contact within the FBI, wondering if what Henry said earlier about his ex-girlfriend having sent the tundra specimen she went over to a box of Henry's stuff. In it she found 2 discs which contained golden webbing that once sprayed would stay wherever they were sprayed for 24 hours, the spray was also very stubborn and stuck to her hand until she used her full body weight to pull it off.

Shannon then got some night vision goggles which were made by Henry, they had barely worked in the past and like the Web-Shooters were discontinued by the government. Shannon then found some other equipment which she made into a suit, after making said suit, Shannon felt that she was ready to go find the specimen and Developed Micronics. One fear Shannon had was that she was going to die but thinking about her husband made that fear go away as she had already lost everything in her mind, so if she died, would it really matter. Shannon road to 540 building on her White Kawasaki and after arriving found that the metallic boots that would give her the ability to stick on walls were noisy, fortunately the area around her was not to crowded. So she went up to the building and fired a web and then began to climb the web, after a bit of climbing she shot another and so on and so forth, she would reach some tricky destinations like a balcony party or a helicopter or her goggles going out coming nearby but she eventually made it to the place she was looking for especially after realizing the goggles went out for the same reason the security cameras from the specimen testing went out. Shannon the unsheathed a toxic chemical which she used to melt the windows, after doing so he got in and walked around, however even though the suit she wore included a jacket that made people invisible to cameras the alarms went off.

Nevertheless 2 security guards came over to her and pointed their guns at her, Shannon however refusing to be caught jumped out the window as they shot at her and fired another web. Instead of using these webs to climb up like she did earlier, she used these ones to climb down, as she did so the balcony party from a few moments earlier spotted her and cheered for her thinking she was an actor in a new movie. Eventually Shannon reached the ground however this caused her mechanical legs to malfunction and shoot her into the air, seeing that the legs were broken she threw them away as the cops arrived. Shannon then escaped and drove away on her White Kawasaki just barely managing to escape the cops.

### Chapter Five

Shannon made it back home only for her door to be knocked on by the detective Mike O'Bell, Shannon still afraid of him and what he wanted hid as he continued knocking. Assuming he wasn't home he put his card in her door and she read what it said "CALL URGENTLY" so Shannon called her sister Tina Locklear, who came to her from Broken Bow, Oklahoma. After Tina arrived she called a taxi with the taxi driver arriving shortly after, the taxi driver ordered Tina not to smoke which she agreed to, Tina reflected on how nice Shannon and Henry had been to her in the past. Tina arrived to their lab KART which was all busted and broken, the taxi driver seeing it broken down asked to stay with Tina until she was sure whether this was the place she was going to. Tina however rejected his offer and handed him her fee before walking in, Shannon then greeted Tina and the 2 sisters embraced and Shannon filled Tina in on all that had happened in the last few days, to Tina however it felt like Shannon was in a reality TV show.

The 2 sisters then had some tea where they discussed what to do, Shannon stated after what happened last time, she didn't have a plan, Tina then stated that they should create some steps. Shannon asked Tina if that meant she had a plan to which Tina stated that she didn't but was gonna make one anyway, the 2 girls then went shopping and after a bit of shopping Shannon's stomach growled. Tina realized Shannon hadn't eaten in a bit and so took her back to the 530 building for a hot dog and some soda, Shannon was so hungry she scarfed the hot dog down in mere seconds. Shannon discussed with Tina what had happened with the detective and Agent 99 along with Joel and how she needed to go home and gather stuff, Tina however realized that Shannon was too afraid to go home and so went for her. However Tina noticed at the house that there was a suspicious van parked there and so pretended to be a cleaning lady named "Felicity", after getting inside the house to make her disguise authentic she cleaned the house as she gathered stuff while bobbing her head to fake music.

However soon the doorbell range and the 2 people at the door were Blond and Bald, Tina immediately knew they were suspicious but acted completely normal. Blond and Bald asked if Shannon was around to which Tina stated that she wasn't, Blond and Bald left the house with their van afterwards, moments later Mike O'Bell came to the house. Tina found it suspicious that he came right after the 2 men left and subtly stated this fact to the detective who stated that he found it strange, after gathering materials Tina came back to Shannon and the 2 quickly tested out the gear and came up with a new plan. After coming up with a new plan, Shannon gave Tina hers and Henry's will stating if she died that it belonged to Tina leading to an emotion moment, the 2 then went back to Shannon's home where they watched a black and white movie which Tina found boring, after changing the TV channel the 2 found that Shannon was now famous as the news was reporting on Shannon's recent debut as the "Spider-Queen" much to the 2's shock.

### Chapter Six

Shannon woke up the next morning in her and Henry's lab to the sound of knocking, it was the detective, Mike O'Bell, Shannon was shocked to hear the knocking asking Tina why he would knock instead of busting the door down since the building was already destroyed. Tina informed her that officer protocol was that they couldn't without a warrant, after a few minutes the detective left again, after he left Tina and Shannon began to discuss the plan again. However while discussing it, the power went off, Shannon and Tina assumed it was a side effect of the movie and the second generator beginning to falter, Shannon and Tina then went to go get food and smoke cigars (Tina being the one to smoke a cigar). Afterwards the 2 got ready for the mission, testing the equipment again before Shannon got on her motorcycle and drove all the way back to 540 Metro Building. Tina being the director for the heist, Shannon drove by loads of people and Tina used a secret code to direct Shannon that she at first didn't get but then tried to with Tina telling her sister she sucked at it.

Tina then directed Shannon to act as though she was apart of a group of girls to get inside the building, once inside one of the girls asked Shannon if she was gonna be at the new game. Despite Tina telling her to ignore the girl, Shannon disregarded the order believing it would make her looked suspicious and told the girl she wasn't sure as she had no one to go with, Tina frustrated told Shannon that the girl was gonna recognize her now. The girl informed Shannon that it was a shame she wouldn't go and told her the game was at 6 pm and if she was coming to not be late, after the talk Shannon used the disintegration spray to open a door and then a window. Tina then directed Shannon to shoot her web and Shannon did so and then before Tina could tell her she swung to the wall and landed, Tina freaked out and scared of heights asked Shannon if she was insane and Shannon apologized. Shannon put her goggles on and began to climb the wall and eventually reached the spot she had previously been at meaning the men had yet to move the specimen, she sprayed the window and got in.

Once in Shannon began walking when she heard talking and walking near her so she quickly shot a web onto the ceiling and climbed it as 3 men walked towards her Blond, Bald, and another man with Gray hair. Gray asked Blond and Bald what happened while he was gone and as it turned out Agent 99 attempted to make a move for the specimen but was caught by Blond and Bald who captured him and put him upstairs like Gray had asked. After they walked by Shannon considered whether she should save Agent 99 or not given the fact that he abandoned her thinking she wasn't ready and then got captured himself, however Shannon decided she'd need his help and so followed the men. Following the men upstairs she listened in as they brutally interrogated Agent 99 with him not giving up any information, Gray then got a call that a girl from earlier (Tina) was on the ground and ordered Blond and Bald to go after her. Blond and Bald did so and Shannon went into the room and knocked out Gray before he could continued torturing Agent 99, after saving Agent 99 the 2 escaped with the 2 arguing about who should be doing what. Agent 99 then told her the name of the man who had Henry killed a Chinese man who was part of a cartel named Longwei Feng, Shannon realized if she hadn't even seen this man yet then he was likely more dangerous than Bald, Blond, and Gray combined.

Meanwhile on the ground Tina was captured by Blond and Bald who forced her at gunpoint into the building, Blond and Bald asked where Shannon was but Tina feigning ignorance told them what she told them to do earlier and call her. The men getting annoyed aimed their guns at her and prepared to fire so Tina began to jump and spin hoping that if they shot at her she wouldn't be hit only to find that gunshots did go off but they hit Blond and Bald rather than Tina. The 2 men fell down with Mike O'Bell standing over them, O'Bell radioed Blond and Bald's being shot in and then asked Tina if she was alright.

### Chapter Seven

Shannon and Agent 99 began to run upstairs as they discussed what to do, suddenly they ran into a guard shocking the 2, the guard started reaching for his coat pocket, meaning he was going to pull out a gun. Agent 99 reached for his own gun but Shannon was faster than both of them and pinned the guard down to the ground with her webbing, Agent 99 still aimed his gun at the guard's head but Shannon told him not to much to his confusion. Shannon webbed the guard's mouth shut and Agent 99 accepted that, the 2 ran to 100th floor and Agent 99 proclaimed it as beautiful especially with the car it had, Shannon did not get what the agent liked about the room or even the car calling it "old". Agent 99 argued that the car was as old a car as the titanic was a boat meaning that it was still beautiful no matter how old it was, the 2 then continued to the roof where they met up with Longwei who ordered his guards to make sure no one got near him.

Agent 99 told Shannon that when they were ready to not hold back and the 2 went with Shannon shooting her webs at the guards pinning them and Agent 99 shooting them with his gun. Shannon the felt bullets zip past her from behind and alerted Agent 99 to them which he began to shoot, meanwhile Longwei got into the helicopter and it began to fly off, Agent 99 began to shoot the helicopter but his bullets did nothing. The agent informed Shannon he was now out of ideas but Shannon wasn't as she ran off the roof and fired a web at the legs of the helicopter, grappling onto it. As the helicopter lifted into the air she climbed onto it however due to the copter moving she had to cling on for dear life in order to not fall off, her weight being unevenly added to the helicopter made it harder for the pilot to steer. This caused the helicopter to start lowering near buildings, Shannon then got a look at Longwei's face and from the expression knew that he was having the helicopter lowered on purpose to knock her off.

The 2 lowered down to many buildings making it hard for Shannon to grapple on and giving her exoskeleton legs a work out and giving her real legs a lot of pain. At one point a bodyguard shot his head out of the cockpit in an attempt to shoot Shannon away from the helicopter but it was too difficult and the bodyguard eventually fell out of the copter himself. Shannon the lifted herself up enough and shot a web into the ceiling of the cockpit of the helicopter causing it to fly out of control and fall, Shannon let go of the web as the copter fell and waited for it to get close enough before webbing it to the pavement. Shannon then shot a web to the wall of a building and as she fell to the ground skidded causing her exoskeleton legs to explode into piece of shrapnel that went everywhere. Shannon the limped over to the copter where the only person in it still alive was Longwei who couldn't get up, Longwei tried to figure out who or what Shannon was and guessed she was a mercenary and offered to pay her off if he let her escape. Shannon however revealed herself to him to his shock. Longwei gave her the specimen having lost and Shannon still angered about Henry's death prepared to kill him, Longwei prepared to meet his fate when Tina's voiced knocked her out of it. Shannon then met up with Tina and O'Bell with O'Bell and Shannon apologizing to each other, O'Bell for creeping her out and accusing her of murder and arson and Shannon for avoiding him. Shannon then confirmed to Agent 99 that she had the specimen and asked if he was gonna come after her, Agent 99 informed her that he was gonna let her go and subtly suggested she could get rid of him permanently if she got rid of the phone she was calling him on which she did much to Tina's confusion.

### Chapter Eight

It was not Henry Kane's funeral, not many people showed up aside from Shannon, Tina, and Mike and there was not gravestone just a plac with a photo of Henry on it. KART was soon demolished with anything in the building auctioned or thrown away meanwhile as stated in her and Henry's will everything else went to Shannon. Shannon and Tina then moved out of the city they were in, into a new one where they got a new apartment, Shannon still kept the Web-Shooters she used during the mission as a safety precaution. Shannon then starred out the window and Tina asked if she was alright and Shannon told her she was, and was just still dealing with Henry's death, Shannon asked Tina if she wanted to watch a movie and Tina stated that she was picking which Shannon agreed to.

The next day, Shannon went to the bank to donate some things and withdraw others, she decided to decided to deposit her Web-Shooters believing they'd be safe there. However as she took them off suddenly everyone in the bank was held up at gunpoint, so Shannon put the Web-Shooters back on and walked back to where the bank robbers were. The bank robbers aimed their guns at Shannon and told her if she just did what they said that they'd be out in a jiffy, however Shannon disregarded what they said and shot them with her Web-Shooters trapping them in her webs. The bank teller knocked down the leader and Shannon and the bank teller gave each other approving looks as the cops arrived, Shannon then left back home on her motorcycle. As Shannon got home her sister asked how it went.

### Across the Ocean

A woman known as Doctor Sarah Avery arrived on an island and was happy to be on land being afraid of the ocean, the boat's driver informed her the boat would be back in a few days. The doctor then walked towards a castle, there she met an old man named Smethels who informed her he was the butler for the castle, Sarah followed him in the building and was mostly uneasy about her surroundings. After waiting a bit she met Doctor Victor Landor, she informed Landor that the specimen that Doctor Hensley requested him to work on had arrived, from what she knew about Landor he had lived in the United States of America but left America after some unsavory business. Landor then purchased and island off the coast of France where he had since been living in, in an castle, after discussing it Landor decided to work on his experiments, Sarah asked Landor if he had anyone helping him but Landor informed her he did not, much to her shock as most people Doctor Hensley gifted a tundra specimen had someone to work with on it.

Smethels then showed Sarah to her room where she stayed, Smethels asked how much she knew about Landor and Sarah stated that she didn't know much aside from some unsavory business he was involved in. Smethels advised that she not search too far into his history as she might not find things she liked, Smethels then left and Sarah went to sleep, Sarah was then awoken by some thunder and rung her bell as Smethels had told her too in case she needed him however he did not arrive. Sarah then went searching for him only to find Landor hunched over an experiment, Smethels asked if it would not be better to have Sarah help him but Landor was not in the mood, Sarah got a closer look at Landor's experiment only to see it was a corpse. Sarah accidentally let her presence be known via shock and Landor requested Smethels to take care of her so Smethels went after her, Sarah managed to lock herself in a room and saw a boat heading towards them and managed to turn a light on breaking her ankle in the process however Smethels captured her before she could get anyone's attention.
