9 am:

In my office , I sat at my desk looking over some reports, and the desk was covered with paperwork. As I finally get a moment to drink my morning coffee, which has gone a bit cold but I drink it anyway. there is a knock on my door. "Come in, "I say as I look up from a file

"Good morning, sir. I'm just dropping off this morning's experiments reports. " The lab tech places the report on the already covered desk with a bit of a concerned look but doesn't say anything else

"Morning, thank you, Benjamin, I will have a look at it when I have a moment." I smile a little.

"Okay, sir, well, I will leave for your work. " He turns towards the door and stops, looking back at me, closing the door as he turns."Oh, I thought I would let you know Deb has been asking questions about the experiments and the serum. I didn't tell her much, but she is getting more persistent. "

I sigh and place the file in my hand down. "Thank you for letting me know, I will set up a meeting, and I will sort this out. "

He nods and leaves, closing the door behind him. I pick up the file. Reading through it. Getting very word. But my mind is distracted. I just think Great another problem I have to fix. I put the thought to the back of my mind as I had a lot of work to get through, and it's only 9 am.

12 pm:

A few hours go by, and I have gotten through a lot of files and reports. I sit back in my chair, taking a breather when there is a knock on the door. I look at the door, I sigh before saying

"Come in," 

I sit up a little as I see my partner of the company walk in. "Ah, Wes, come in, take a seat, I was about to come and find you."

"Afternoon Nelson," he takes a seat,  "Well, it was good timing then," He smiles, "I'm guessing you have already looked over at this morning report. The experiments are going well so far, and the patients all seem like they are responding well to the serum."

I nod along as he talks, "I've just finished reading over the reports. It's great to know everything is going well." I could tell he was holding something back from me. I have known this man for years, and I trust him. Well, I thought I did.

"Nelson, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, what is it?" I lean forward curious about what he was going to ask me.

He took a moment to compose himself before looking at me seriously.

"Well, I was looking over the report you sent back to the lab and some of the stuff you requested... Was a little odd. I noticed you wanted to make modifications to the serum and intended to make the experiment more brutal. Some lab techs are getting worried, and so am I. We rarely see you around the labs anymore. You just stay in your office most days."

I smile and lean back in my chair. " Ahh, I thought you were going to say something about that. it's sweet that you care. Yes, it might all look a bit odd, but the serum at the moment has much more potential. Now, with the experiments, they are not brutal. I just need to see how well they cope under those conditions. I was going to visit the lab a bit later on to talk to the lab technician about living blood and make sure everything runs smoothly. " I slightly smile
