Mr. Ballin

It smells like rotten eggs.

Plus, you also have the fact that when Charlie got sick, Sam, his friend, was in the apartment as well, and he did not get sick.

So, all told, the gas leak theory seemed to not be it.

Dr. Jukes had also briefly wondered if maybe what had happened to Dawn and Charlie was connected to this strange toxin exposure case that had come through the hospital a couple of months earlier.

However, the victims in that case were from out of the country, and Dawn and Charlie had not been out of England, so Dr. Jukes had ruled that out as well.

But Dr. Jukes did have one theory he still thought was a good one.

Maybe this was pesticide poisoning.

It matched with their symptoms, and Dr. Jukes knew that sometimes street drugs can be contaminated with pesticides.

So if Don and Charlie had both taken something that Dr. Jukes hadn't tested for yet, then they could have maybe been exposed that way.

He had told the police about this theory, and so they'd issued a press release encouraging drug users to be extra cautious in case, you know, there was this pesticide out there.

But Dr. Jukes also knew that drugs were not the only way people could be exposed to pesticides.

Simply eating, drinking, or breathing in contaminated food or water or air could be fatal.

And this was extremely troubling to Dr. Jukes.

and everybody else involved with the case.

Because if Don and Charlie had been exposed to potentially deadly chemicals just by doing normal things in their home or neighborhood, that meant that basically everybody else in their neighborhood was also in danger of getting sick too.

Now, until Don or Charlie woke up again,

They were not going to be able to figure out where they had been or what they had touched or ingested before they got sick.

So Dr. Jukes felt like he needed to get that information from somewhere else and fast.

The next morning, July 4th, so four days after Dawn and Charlie got sick,

Dr. Jukes pushed open a door to a room where Dawn's mother, her three sisters, and her son were all waiting.
