The familiar ringtone of Dorian’s cell phone echoed in the hallway of his house as he was upstairs brushing his teeth. He peered through the adjacent bedroom and looked at the clock on his nightstand. It was nine a.m. and he had completely forgotten Yuki was supposed to call him at this time. Running downstairs with toothbrush and toothpaste foam in mouth, he managed to answer the call just before it went to voicemail.
“Just a sec,” he gurgled into the phone while running over to the kitchen sink. He poured a small glass of water and quickly swished and spit. “Sorry about that, I had a mouth full of toothpaste,” he said cheerfully. “How is everything- is your father well?” he replied, changing his tone to a more somber one in case she was delivering dreadful news of her father’s health. “My father is getting better, but he is still under quite a bit of stress that is affecting his health. Dr. Lystad, Dorian, I need your help and I don't know what to do.” “Of course, Yuki. What can I do for you?” “Do you remember when you were taking me to the airport and I told you that I thought that Theodore Dantanian was responsible for taking over my family's company?” Dorian paused. “Yes, I seem to recall that. Why?” “It turns out that he did take it over through one of his subsidiaries. I met with him again, only this time he was not asking nicely. He told me that if I do not get some sample from you, he is going to break apart our company and everyone will lose their jobs. This would affect over four thousand workers. Is there something you are hiding from me? Please tell me, I need to know what is going on.” “I am so sorry to have brought this on you and your family, Yuki, I had no idea things would get so far out of control. If Dantanian wants a sample he can have one. I don’t want innocent people to be caught up in this. I don’t think we should say anything further over the phone, but I will be happy to talk to you in person.” They agreed to meet in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Monday evening and he would fly back on Tuesday afternoon. Dorian still had commitments to the University, so arrangements were made for personal time off. It was a tiring flight to California, and the connection to Hawaii made the day seem really long. After arriving at the airport in Hawaii he took a shuttle bus to the hotel and checked in. It was four p.m. and he was to meet Yuki at his hotel in three hours and give her the sample which he had to draw up from the supplies he packed. He sat down on the bed in his room and proceeded to
