Lilian sat on her office chair absent mindedly looking at the mahogany furniture around her. She would look at the door then tilt her head and look at the floor. Though in her thirties she still looked like a twenty year old girl. "Where did he hide it?" She rhetorically asked her self. Then she saw a news paper with the headline "A new drug for Virus V discovered". The news paper was dated 5th may 2017 that was eleven years ago.
