Later that night...
Penny yawned, alone in the pharmaceutical lab.
"Gosh…" she muttered. "This is so boring."
She wondered what she had found enjoyable about this job, as it now seemed incredibly dull. Maybe she had just enjoyed life more, making this seem more boring now.
But that wasn't what truly irritated her.
Frowning, Penny gazed at the mixture she had been experimenting with like a mad scientist. Then, her eyes shifted to a transparent, round jar containing the other half of the lethal pill. Reaching for it, Penny examined it briefly.
"Damn it," she whispered. "I've already gathered all the ingredients, yet no one seems to have succeeded in creating an antidote for it."
Another heavy sigh escaped her as she set down the pill and turned her attention back to the drugs before her. Pushing herself away from the counter, she slid over to another long counter where some books were resting.
