08:33to get revenge on a neighbor they accidentally killed logan's family and scarlet deleted my
08:38emergency messages so her parents could get the anti-venom first
08:54the lab was buzzing with researchers hard at work eleanor outside the glass door watching it all
09:00her expression was complex a mix of relief and nostalgia her brother's researchers had
09:04elinor if eric knew his work was back on the right path he'd be proud eleanor didn't answer she thought
09:11of the last time she saw her brother look sis this is what science is for it can't bring back
09:17the dead
09:18but it can help fewer living people die i just did what i could that's enough most people won't even
09:26do
09:26what they can later it was said that logan went to las vegas he dreamed of getting rich overnight and
09:32making a comeback but he was no longer the tech wunderkind he once was he gambled away the last
09:37of his savings ran up a huge gambling debt debt collectors came knocking they took one of his
09:42kidneys no one came to claim his body that once glamorous man ended up with no one to see him
09:47off
09:48scarlet gave birth to logan's child inside the prison medical center the baby was handed over to
09:53social services by law later she killed herself with a sharpened toothbrush when guards found her
09:59she lay in blood clutching the newborn's photo
10:05mrs land there's a visitor here he says he's a lawyer introduced by detective james hawk here to
10:10discuss international patent registration send him in the lawyer couldn't make it at the last minute so
10:17i had to come myself and while i'm here i wanted to see how that woman with the surgeon's steady
10:22hands
10:23when signing death certificates is doing these days eleanor looked at him and the sunflowers she couldn't
10:28help but smile it was the first time in months that she had smiled from the heart the sunflowers gleamed
10:33golden in the sunlight james watched eleanor smiling and there was an indescribable tenderness in his
10:38eyes not bad just busy i just funded three new projects and i have to go to switzerland for a
10:43toxicology conference switzerland what a coincidence i happen to have some vacation time coming up i hear the
10:50alps are beautiful this time of year detective james hawk are you asking me out and if i said yes
10:58then i might consider it then i'll wait for your good news after james left i thought about it
11:06carefully it was time to move on the sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the
11:10sunflowers on my desk golden like a brand new beginning eleanor didn't say yes to james directly
11:16not because she didn't want to but because she needed time her past marriage had taught
11:21her that hasty decisions often lead to long-term pain go you deserve a break don't worry about the
11:28foundation we've got it covered eleanor took out her younger brother's old photos the last one was
11:34taken a week before he passed away sister look this direction is right right your sister is going to
11:39switzerland this time not for anyone else for myself james had sent her travel guides to switzerland
11:44mountains lakes small towns you can go anywhere you want in the chat log their conversation had
11:51taken on of lightness and smiles i've seen the worst of human nature and the best but people like you
11:59who can go through so much and still stand up and keep moving forward there aren't many
12:06elinor elinor elinor you don't have to carry everything alone i know you're strong but being strong
12:14doesn't mean you can't lean on anyone you can lean on me the alpine sunset took its time as if
12:22it
12:23understood the road ahead she would no longer walk it alone by then thousands of people will be saved
12:30because of this this isn't just your brother's wish it's also your own achievement i just did what
12:36i could that's enough james continued to work at the police station but their paths crossed more and
12:43more often sometimes he came to the foundation to see her bringing a cup of coffee sometimes she went
12:48to the restaurant near his palatine to wait for him to get off hearts this was not just ordinary
12:52friendship eric was right help fewer living people die the meaning of science is to help fewer living
12:59people die and the meaning of love is probably help the ones who are worth it live well come in
13:05not
13:06busy today you know i don't like wasting time not in business and certainly not with you i'm asking
