Loose Ends

Doctor Drussel swiped his security card carefully, This was the first time he had returned to his laboratory, after his so-called vacation. Even when the case against his former boss was still in progress, he had not dared to return here in his laboratory, for the dread that he might still be in danger, from the wrath of the Smith family, from defecting, after all the years of his service with them. He could not recall how long it had been, because even before the Smith's heiress, Doctor Drussel had been working for the family already, which was why he knew of the secret adoption made by the Smith Patriarch of Leah, when he was unsure of having an heir. That was also the reason, why the Smith family ventured into pharmaceuticals and research. However, it had gone to the extreme, which was beyond ethical in the norms of society. Hence, the secrecy and deceit had been going on for such a long time.
