Vegas POV
"Porsche, I need to go to the hospital to talk to Dr. Top before heading to the port."
"Did something happen? Will you make it to the port in time? It's already getting late."
"I believe it won't take long. Dr Top wants to talk to me about some Venice scans. He asked me to go there."
"Without Pete?"
"Yes. But don't say anything to Pete. He can worry unnecessarily."
"OK. I won't."
...
"Venice's test results are ready, Dr. Top?"
"Yes." The doctor brings his body forward, resting his elbows on the table and crossing his fingers.
"Any serious problems?" I look at him expecting for a not-so-good answer.
"Some biochemical results caught my eye, Khun Vegas."
The doctor's face made me more apprehensive.
"You can speak clearly, doctor. I'm ready."
"I do not believe that Venice has any disease or syndrome."
"That's good, isn't it?" I felt a certain relief. "Then?"
"I believe he is being poisoned."
"What? Poisoned?"
"Coincidentally, I handled a few cases recently for a new drug on the black market. Side effects are similar to Venice. When I looked at the results of Venice's tests, I noticed a great similarity with the results of patients suffering from overdose of this substance. It's a synthetic drug. We don't have much information about it and whether it causes lasting effects."
"But how? He follows a strict prescribed diet. And the medicines are also prescribed."
"The fact is that substance has a very unique chemical marker. Which I only found in Venice's blood test and in the patients I mentioned."
"Will Venice be okay? Is his life in danger?
"It would be premature to give any conclusive answer now. I will continue investigating. Now that I have data from other patients, we can better study his case. Do not worry too much. He's not in imminent danger. I thought it best to talk to you first. Pete might despair. He has a very strong emotional bond with the child."
"I'll talk to him calmly about it. And the most important thing: I will find who is behind this."
...
I looked at the watch on my wrist. Screw the negotiation.
