               "Find out anything?" Rodriguez asked.

               "I found out everything," Kevin said, "Including the RIA's plans." Rodriguez and I both stood quickly.

               "Show us!" I ordered anxiously. We followed him to the lab, and he showed us the test results.

               "I found a virus in both of your guys' blood, and the RIA calls it 'LIVED.' It makes people so depressed for no reason that they commit suicide." Kevin told us. Rodriguez scoffed.

               "Talk about living," he crossed his arms. "Why do they call it 'LIVED' anyway?"

               "Because they knew something," Kevin said, walking to the computer. "That we didn't." He took the word "LIVED" and made the laptop generate it to spell it backward. Spelled backward, it's "DEVIL."

               "They also created a chemical that erases peoples' memories. They call it 'Chlordiazepoxide.' It's kind of like a benzodiazepine. When you mix it with the virus, however, it erases your memory permanently," Kevin explained. "And the only thing that can kill the virus in your immune system right now is Tabasco's hot sauce."
