"Genaid Pharmaceutical?" I asked with a curious face
"After the argument your father had with the Director, a doctor came from Genaid to see him, I mean the director. I suspected something wasn't right after the last argument and how your father stopped coming to the home so I decided to eavesdrop on their conversation that day. I heard the doctor asking the director to stop giving the drugs to the patients that it was going to kill more people. But the director refused saying that wasn't the order the chairman gave him. According to what he said, he told the doctor that the chairman had said what was happening was for a greater good. The way the doctor kept begging him, it seemed like he made the drugs himself but not for what Genaid used it for. The Thypoin disease broke out shortly after that with no one knowing its source. Genaid quickly released the cure for it three months later and were paid billions for it. Who do you think gained more from the breakout? But one thing I know for sure is that, these people had the backing of people in government then. The people they killed, properties they destroyed and hijacked, nobody questioned them."
I suddenly remembered my session with him that day when he came. He kept saying the formula should be hidden from them. He must have made something again. But why didn't he stop then? Was he threatened into making another one?.
These questions was running through my mind.
"So, do you think they made the drugs to give people the virus? But only the adults took it then. The virus affected everyone. Both the old and young." I said again turning to her
"This is my speculation. Genaid made the drugs for the adults in stage 3 cause it was easier to say the diabetes killed them incase the drugs took a wrong turn in their body. The adults all started vomiting which needed to be cleaned up by nurses and cleaners. The nurses and cleaners went around meeting friends and family, even strangers. They contracted the disease from the vomit and transferred it to other people. Remember the symptoms for the Thypoin disease was cough, sneeze and vomit. They must have added just a little quantity of the virus to the drugs which is why they didn't exhibit the full symptoms quickly and when they started showing the full symptoms, the virus was out already so people stopped talking about the drug and concluded it was the virus." She explained
"I think the more reason they chose the adults was because the little they added to the drugs was enough to have an effect on them than young people" I said again finally getting the whole situation.
"That is also possible. They created the virus, spread it with drugs and created the cure for it to make money, they wasted millions of lives just for money." She said in a sad tone
"But asides the fact that my dad argued with the director, I still don't understand why he was killed. He was just an ordinary civil servant. He had nothing to do with them or their company."
"The director must have told the chairman about your father. The kind of person your father was, he was unstoppable, he probably would have called doctors from different labs to check the drugs or even the police to seize them, so they had to silence him. I'm so sorry that had to happen to your father." She said as she reached for my hand, squeezing it gently.
"Are you okay?" She asked with concern
"I'm fine, thank you" I said realizing I was gone for a moment.
"I didn't get to introduce myself. I'm Helen, Helen Fisher" she said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you Helen and thank you for your time. I really appreciate it" I replied with a smile
"I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help" she said again with a disappointed look.
"No, don't say that, you helped me more than I could have imagined. I finally understand the whole situation thanks to you". I stood up to take my leave.
"Goodbye Helen" I said
She nodded with a smile again
"Be careful, Alex."
I smiled back at her and left.
I called Sarah to explain the situation to her.
"Hey, I'm glad you called. I found the real identity of the VIP list. It's crazy. Now I know why I was dismissed and ordered to be killed." Sarah said over the phone.
"Send the list to me please. I'm going to send the flash drive Dr Thompson left with me to you Sarah. I need you to find the formula he talked about. I can't seem to find it on my own. Millions of people might die if that drive gets into the wrong hands. Please be careful with it."
"What's going on Alex? What do you mean by millions of people might die?"
"This is actually bigger than we thought. The 2006 Thypoin virus was created by Genaid. They spread it through the drugs they sold for diabetes and later sold the vaccine to the government."
"Oh my God! It took three months to get the vaccine then" Sarah exclaimed on the phone
"Yeah, they had to give it time to pretend they were researching. Releasing a cure immediately a virus no one knew its source broke out would raise suspicions."
"3.7million people died during the outbreak Alex. The virus moved fast especially in adults. It was three days for them and seven days for the young ones. These bastards sacrificed 3.7 million innocent people to make money. I can't believe this." Sarah ranted
"This is why I need you to quickly find the file on the drive Dr Thompson left for me. Who knows what they might be planning again."
"Send it to me as soon as possible, I'll work on it immediately." Sarah said dropping the call after
I got into the car and took a moment to breathe. If nothing at all, I was glad I kept my face hidden all these years. It would have been difficult if these people knew what I looked like but then they found our hideout. It wouldn't be long before they find me. I needed to act fast before that happened. I started the engine of the car when a message entered my phone. What I saw in the video sent a cold shiver down my spine. It was a video of me taking the file and drive inside the locker Dr Thompson told me.
Another message entered again
"I know who you are."
