A Shadow Of Doubt

Dr Smith I Presume

Dr Smith
I am standing in the middle of a laboratory and have everything I need to find out the mystery that healed Miss Steele. After I found out what they found at James Douglas apartment I found a guy who could get it all for me and did. I have been working on how to replicate the antidote and the neurotoxin. I also found the naked photos and had them posted on line by the same guy who got everything I needed. I have just locked up the laboratory and was walking to my bedroom, when I heard a noise. I look around and the light comes on in the office and I head that way.
Richard Lincoln
Dr Smith I presume, meet my wonderful wife Elena. You do know you are screwing with something we own or do you? Mr Steele didn't tell you did he? Well that was smart of him, but you my friend are past the point of no return. Corpse theft and evidence theft. Amazing you had the balls. I guess you didn't see the note we left on the daughter. We gave them a choice live and stop investigating us. I am sure you aren't the one that asked for the Steeles to investigate us.
Elena Lincoln
Rich he didn't do it, look at how scared he looks at you pointing the gun at him. You know it won't be long until they find you after all you bought all that equipment and it sort of telegraphs what you are doing. That's how we found you. Releasing those photos was just sick and stupid. I mean I have seen better bodies than hers, mine for instance and she is dating that gorgeous billionaire. Okay we are getting off the point here. I want you to drop everything you have done and destroy it all now. We were going to handle it until you came stomping on our flower garden, Rich handle everything while I find something to drink.
Dr Smith
Handle what?
Richard Lincoln
Oh you see you crossed a line, one that drew unwanted attention to you and to us and people you will meet soon. You should have left it alone when you were asked to.
A knock at the front door brings me to my feet. He follows me to the door. They have everything they need to take everything from the lab and everything from his laptop and all his drives. I tell him he has choice. You either help us or you die now. He has until these guys empty the place out. I ask for the photos and burn them in the fireplace. There isn't any point to having those photos, I had no idea they existed until they popped up on the web.
Elena Lincoln
I found the safe, we need the safe opened dr Smith. You were the guy who stole the burned ashes the Steeles threw away aren't you?
Dr Smith
Who are you people?
Elena Lincoln
Your worst nightmare ever. We have given you options and we normally don't give people the kind of options we are offering you now. So choose now. Open the safe and live or we open it up and you die for making us have to open it up in other ways.
Dr Smith
I head to the safe and open it up and they take everything but the money out of it. They have stripped everything from my laboratory and taken everything and found my secret panel in the wall and taken everything I had. I definitely want to stay alive for now. They definitely have me at a disadvantage and I saw what has happened when they administer those shots. They don't need guns they have the neurotoxin. They leave me with absolutely nothing but a promise to leave me alone as long as I stop all my activities concerning the neurotoxin. Otherwise they will make one last visit to me.
Elena Lincoln
Okay we are done here. I suggest you go and repair your career in Seattle. You made a huge mess of things there. Mr Steele could have had you arrested several times and their are eyes on you and it is not just us. We are just taking back something that belongs to us. Errors were made in Seattle and now we are correcting them, you don't 2ant to become a casualty of those and we don't want to cross a line and shine a light on us further.
Richard Lincoln
We are done here and we have told him and that's all I am willing to do, we have everything and 5he photos are burned and down by this time. I am hungry and tired, let's go.
Dr Smith
I watch as they walk out the door and get in a vehicle and drive away. I am unsure what I will find when I go back to Seattle. I can't continue my work on the neurotoxin and can't get anywhere near the Steeles at this point. I pack up everything and head back to Seattle and forget I have lost everything that I had found and take the loss and move on from here. Luckily no one knows what I did and why.
Elena Lincoln
We have eyes in Seattle he will be watched. I just can't believe that you were involved with someone who hired a PI. It was very careless of you.
Richard Lincoln
I can't believe you, talking about being careless, you and your boy toys. James Douglas was bad news and you knew it. You need to stop using your boys to cover your tracks. This is all on you. The threats and the deaths are on you. The PI's would have found nothing, but now they know there is something being hidden because of your actions. You see I could have handled everything on my end and we both know Carla would have ran out of money. Raymond didn't know she was the one who hired him hoping to find her son.
