He reached the door and found Jules, who looked equally furious. Shawn and the others stood off to the side, not daring to interfere. "What's got you storming into the lab?" Dr. Ray snapped.

"Where's Flora? What did you do with her?" Jules demanded, his anger barely contained.

Just thinking about what he had uncovered made Jules' blood boil. How dare that old fool Ray treat his precious Flora this way!

"Don't even mention her name in front of me," Dr. Ray growled, his eyes flashing with disdain. "Before you come here accusing me, did you even bother to find out what she did? She hurt a colleague and even tried to ruin her hands. You know how critical hands are to a surgeon."
