The Lagos Strain

Episode 2: "The Investigation & The Trail"

Abiola's meeting with Dr. Nneka left him with more questions than answers. He decided to pay a visit to Dr. Ozokwor's laboratory, hoping to uncover some clues.

As he arrived at the lab, he noticed something strange. The windows were all boarded up, and the door had an unusual symbol etched into it.

Abiola's instincts told him to be cautious, but his journalist's curiosity pushed him to enter. Inside, he found rows of test tubes, petri dishes, and strange equipment.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps. Dr. Ozokwor emerged from the shadows, a sinister smile spreading across his face.

"Welcome, Abiola. I've been expecting you."

Abiola stood his ground. "What's going on here, Dr. Ozokwor? What's the connection between your research and the outbreak?"

Dr. Ozokwor chuckled. "You're too curious for your own good, Abiola. But I'll give you a hint: the Lagos Strain is just the beginning."

Abiola left the lab with more questions than answers. He received a message from the whistleblower, Ada, to meet her at a seedy bar on the outskirts of Lagos.

As he entered the dimly lit room, he spotted Ada in the corner, her eyes fixed on the door. She beckoned him to sit. "I know what Dr. Ozokwor is doing," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can help you stop him, but we have to be careful."

Abiola leaned in, his mind racing with questions. "What do you know?"

Ada hesitated, glancing around the room nervously. "Meet me outside the city tonight. I'll tell you everything."
