The bumps on her face would take two or three days to disappear on their own, so when Evelyn Ford went to work at the medical department the next day, she kept her face completely covered. She even skipped the cafeteria at lunchtime.
"What happened to your face?" After lunch, Quincy came looking for her, his curiosity piqued when he saw her face was still covered.
"I had an allergic reaction. I was worried I'd scare people if they saw it, so I covered it up."
Quincy frowned. "An allergic reaction to what? We should have some allergy medication here. I'll find a dose for you."
"No need, it'll be fine in a couple of days. How are Mina and Lola? They haven't torn the place apart, have they?"
"They've been very good, don't worry. I can take good care of them, so just leave them with me."
Quincy seemed to remember something. He glanced around mysteriously, leaned closer to Evelyn, and whispered, "Several doctors from the base were taken away. Guess what happened?"
