Michael Hunter, Tonya Skyfall, and Richard Thorne met at a secluded diner. They had all worked together at Meta Ops. Richard showed them a vial of liquid metal that he had obtained from Lucas Corbin.
“What is it?” Tonya asked.
“I don’t know,” Richard replied. “That’s why I need you to tell me.”
Tonya hesitated for a moment before calling Michael. She wanted him to join them and keep an eye on Richard. Michael agreed.
Michael arrived at the diner and greeted Tonya and Richard. He noticed the vial and asked what it was.
“It’s a mystery substance that I found from a recent arrest,” Richard said.

“Did you capture Lucas Corbin?” Michael asked.
“No,” Richard replied. “He got away.”
Michael frowned and said, “I know Lucas Corbin. He’s actually my informant. He is going to help me track down the ghouls. I let him go on purpose because I need him for future investigations.”
Tonya was surprised and asked Michael how he could trust a lycan.
“I have my reasons,” Michael replied. “Lucas Corbin is not as bad as he seems.”
“Excuse me, I need to check the vial,” Tonya said as she took out her portable chemistry checker. “I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
She went to the bathroom and ran the vial through her checker. When she returned, she had a shocked expression on her face.
“The vial contained something that was slightly radioactive and had traces of unknown elements in it,” Tonya said. “I need to study it more in my lab.”
“Can you tell what it was used for?” Richard asked.
“I have no idea,” Tonya replied. “It could be anything from a weapon to a drug to a cure.”
“By the way, I have more surprises for you,” Richard said, nodding. “I told Tony D’Amico and Rob Lawrence that their boss Theresa Calahan is actually working with the Chimera. They were stunned when I told them that their boss was working for the ghouls.”
Tonya and Michael gasped and asked him how he knew that.
“I have proof,” Richard replied with a smile. He pulled out his phone and showed them a video of Remy meeting with Theresa in a dark alley.
