Faye stood up from her table at the museum, her patience finally exhausted after an hour of unanswered calls and growing humiliation. The elegant evening she had anticipated had turned into a nightmare of abandonment and embarrassment."That's it," she announced to herself, gathering her purse and wrap. "I'm done waiting for someone who clearly doesn't give a damn about basic human decency."As she turned toward the museum's exit, a massive figure stepped directly into her path. The man was enormously fat, easily over three hundred pounds, with greasy hair and small, predatory eyes that made her skin crawl."Well, hello there, beautiful," the man said in a voice that sounded like gravel mixed with honey. "I've been watching you all evening, and I have to say, you're absolutely stunning.""Excuse me, I need to get past," Faye replied curtly, trying to step around the enormous obstacle."Now, now, don't be in such a hurry," he continued, moving to block her path again. "I'm Joseph Ultra

Back at the Special Museum of Zoology, Faye sat alone on an ornate bench in the main exhibition hall, her elegant evening dress now feeling like a costume for a cruel joke.She had spent the last two hours searching every corner of the museum for Yemin, growing increasingly worried and frustrated with each passing minute.Where could he have gone? she wondered desperately as she pulled out her phone and dialed his number for the dozenth time that evening.The call went straight to voicemail again, just like all the others. Faye's worry was rapidly transforming into burning anger as the reality of her situation became clear."He just left me here," she muttered to herself, her voice echoing in the empty hallway. "He actually asked me out on a date and then disappeared without a word."She tried calling again, holding the phone to her ear as it rang endlessly before going to his generic voicemail message. "This is unbelievable! What kind of person does this?"An elderly security guard n

As Marcus regained his strength and color returned to his face, Yemin turned to Patterson and the security team with urgent instructions."Marcus should be stable now that he's received the antidote, but he needs immediate medical evaluation to ensure there are no lasting effects from the poisoning.""Thank you, sir," Patterson replied with obvious gratitude. "Without your intervention, Mr. Chen would certainly be dead. We owe you an enormous debt.""Just get him to the hospital and make sure he's properly monitored for the next twenty-four hours. Some exotic poisons can have delayed secondary effects.""We'll take him to Presbyterian immediately. Their toxicology department is the best in the city."As the security team carefully helped Marcus toward the exit, Yemin grabbed the assassin by the arm and pulled her to her feet."You're coming with me," he said firmly.The woman laughed in his face with contemptuous amusement. "You think you've won something here tonight, don't you? You

Yemin pushed through the panicking crowd toward the elderly woman who was cowering against the wall, tears streaming down her face as guests continued to shout accusations at her."Please! I swear I didn't do anything!" the woman sobbed. "I don't even know what you're talking about! I just came here to support the children's hospital!""Let me see your purse," Yemin commanded, snatching the handbag from her trembling hands."Of course! Search everything! I have nothing to hide!"Yemin rifled through the contents and immediately found a small vial filled with clear liquid tucked between her wallet and cosmetics case. The woman's eyes went wide with shock when she saw it."What is that? I've never seen that before in my life! How did that get in my purse?""You're telling me you don't know how this poison ended up in your bag?""Poison? Oh my God, no! I swear on my children's lives, I have never seen that thing before! Someone must have put it there!"Yemin studied the woman's face care

Yemin turned to Patterson and the security team with urgent authority. "I need you to organize all the guests into a single group and start sending them to me one at a time for questioning and search.""Sir, that's going to cause even more protests," Patterson warned. "These people aren't accustomed to being treated like suspects.""I don't care about their comfort levels. Marcus is dying, and his killer is in this room. Start with the people who were closest to the stage during his speech."The poison is too sophisticated for a hospital antidote, Yemin calculated as he watched Marcus's breathing become increasingly labored. But whoever used it would never handle such a deadly contact toxin without carrying the specific antidote."Alright, everyone!" Patterson called out to the crowd. "We need you to form a line for security screening. This is temporary, but necessary for everyone's safety.""Security screening?" exploded a woman in diamonds. "I've never been so insulted in my entire

The ballroom fell into stunned silence as Marcus lay motionless on the stage, his breathing becoming more labored with each passing second. The earlier chaos from the falling light fixture was immediately forgotten as everyone stared at the unconscious billionaire."What's happening to him?" asked a woman in the front row. "He was fine just moments ago!""Is he having a heart attack?" called out another guest. "Someone needs to call an ambulance!""The stress from nearly being crushed must have triggered a cardiac episode!" suggested a hedge fund manager. "That kind of shock could kill a man his age!"Marcus's security team immediately sprang into action, surrounding the stage and preparing to move their employer. The head of security, a large man named Patterson, began coordinating evacuation procedures."Get the car ready for immediate transport to Presbyterian Hospital!" Patterson barked into his radio. "We need the fastest route possible!""Wait!" Yemin commanded with an authority
