Logan whispered under her breath, "Liesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss." She then raised her eyebrows at Jaylin's statement. "Why would info about a new disease be public? Most knowledge about it would probably belong to scientist and doctors and communicated over meetings, not online where anyone could see it. Have you even seen how people react to most diseases? It would be irresponsible to tell the public about all of the information about the disease other than symptoms."

"Depends. If this was published after everything went to hell, there's not really any harm to be done when the general public is already hysterical. Besides, the information likely would be lifesaving if only people knew what to do with it."
Pollux sighed.
"Something doesn't feel right. Do you think they maybe did some experiments they don't want to talk about?"
"Sounds possible to me." Logan shrugged. She pointed over her shoulder. "Anyway, Imma get some sleep. I've cleaned most of the rooms of blood, so don't be discouraged by one blood stain. A hospital mattress is better than no mattress."
"They're hiding something. I can feel it." Jaylin muttered, closing her laptop. She wasn't finding any answers there.
"Do you think they would have accidentally left some clues or something in this hospital?"
"I'm plenty comfortable right here, thanks," he muttered, thinking back to the bloodstains in the one room he had checked.
No way he was risking coming into contact with infected blood. Pollux pulled the hood back over his head and slouched against the wall.
"I mean maybe, but where do we start?" he asked.
Jaylin sighed, leaning her head back against the wall and staring up at the ceiling. "I have no idea. Someone who works here might be able to tell us something that can get us started."
“Pretty sure they’re all gone,” Pollux replied, “Logan seems to be the ruler of this place. We can always try snooping around. I kept an eye out for any papers or anything when we were in the lab, but I didn’t see anything there.”
"We can see if there are any more locked doors upstairs. Logan said that she cleaned out a bunch of the rooms, so any door that is open has probably been stripped of any helpful clues." Jaylin said, standing up and stuffing her laptop into her backpack.
“It’s still really early, isn’t it?” Pollux asked, “Is it a good idea to run around a hospital at like three in the morning?”
Jaylin set her backpack down on the floor, nodding to him. "Yeah…you're right. We should probably sleep while we can."
Pollux rested back against the wall and yawned. He felt sleepy, but was still having trouble actually getting there.
