Soon, Frank and Sue were back in Shanton.

Igor and the other scientist were on hand to receive them outside the research lab, since Sue had called ahead to inform them that Frank was coming.

“Mr. Frankton!” Igor hurried to him as Frank arrived. “Are you feeling any discomfort? If you do, please inform me right away. The lab will do everything possible to help.”

Frank smiled, shaking his head. “What are you saying? Your skill is plenty trustworthy-we’re just here to see how much progress you have made on your research. It would be ideal if even the average Joe could benefit from the regenerative serum.”

Igor laughed. “In that case, we welcome your visit with open arms!”

While Frank was conversing with Igor, he was keeping an eye on a quiet youth nearby.

He was around his twenties and sported a buzz cut, and everything from his appearance to his eyes appeared to be local. Only Frank was aware that he was actually a foreigner.
