Penny and Dean held their breath, not blinking as they stared at the still chemicals in the glass cylinder. Their eyes were wide, emotions swirling in them like a storm.

They had been working nonstop ever since they'd come up with the theory for the antidote to the lethal drug. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they hadn't spoken a single word in all that time.
