At work I fixed all my time on Project Hades in any attempt to find some kind of break through with it. In the midst of it I didn't hear Professor Poison walk in.
"Um hello?"
"Hm? Oh Poison. How are you I didn't hear you come in." I say repeating my inner thoughts.
"I am well, how are you?" She asks nervously.
"Good as I can be. To what do I owe this visit?"
"Oh, it's nothing in particular just wanted to see how you were. Haven't seen you for a few months and I was worried." Blushing she shakes her head regaining composure. "So, um Professor Venom, on an off-work topic tell me. Do you have any kids?"
Odd question to ask. I turn to face her fully and motion her to sit down. "I must ask, why do you wish to know?" This makes her get stuff as if she is worried to answer.
"I umm. I used to have a daughter. A long time ago...long before this job. I was broke and alone with no one to turn to. I had no capabilities to take care of a child and I didn't wish to raise it in hardship so I had to give her away. I was just wondering. Maybe something was wrong with her or if you then she may have been sad." I squint my eyes hearing this. She is being oddly specific and open on such a delicate topic. And her story giving away a child. Why now of all times.
"What of the father could he not help you?" I ask wanting to dig deeper.
"Alas no. He was an addict and abusive. He landed in prison and inevitably his 'habit' got him in a prison fight ending up with him killed." Hmm.
"And the child what of her. Do you ever wonder?"
"All the time. I only recently got to see her again but not a chance to interact with her. It kills me that I missed my opportunity but it's my fault for it. Heh, I'm happy to know that she is living well though." Smiling I can tell she is fighting back tears.
"I can understand. My daughter Tink-." Before I could finish tears start falling from her face. "Oh my. Poison what's wrong?" I ask concerned.
"It's nothing really. I am just thinking about her." Wiping her eyes, she holds in her sniffles.
"What was her name?"
Before she could answer Micheal walks in with some research papers.
"Oh, I'm sorry am I interrupting something?" He asks placing the notes and folders on my desk.
"No, it's alright." Poison says wiping her eyes. "Excuse me for a moment." Exiting Micheal and I begin to talk about the Project Hades while Poison internally talks to herself.
"Hey Micheal. Those connects you have, have them watch Professor Poison for a while."
"Why if I may ask? She doesn't seem like the type to be into crime."
"Perhaps now. Do a background check and have her followed. There's something about her that I can't put my finger on yet. Can you make it done?" I ask sliding the notes aside.
"Of course." Walking out I begin looking at what he brought in but keep thinking back to Professor Poison. Something isn't right here and I'm going to find out what.
After my shift I call into my office Professor Poison.
"Umm you called for me sir?" She says nervously.
Nodding I motion my hands to the seat letting her know I want her to sit. "I keep thinking about what you told me earlier. About your daughter." This makes her grow pale in the face as if she is freighted by me mentioning this. "Would you like to meet my daughter?" I say gauging her reaction.
