"How about spraying the vaccine onto the walls where the blood is?" Alexis whispers to Dr. Conner. "It might be helpful." He goes and sprays the walls of all of the places that the souls were at. By dusk of the next day they were gone like the wind.

"Well I couldn't have done it without…Well let's bring her up here! Ladies and gentlemen, welcoming Alexis Watson-Cortez!" Alexis gets interviewed and asked a few questions. She thought, It feels like this interview will take as long as Dr. Conner's presentation when this all started.

All the students applaud as he shows the plastic container to the camera as he explains how he figured out the formula. In the background, Alexis sees Dylan and Drake being arrested for trying to break in a second time, not knowing that Dr. Conner had installed cameras.

Later, It's on the news.

"WHAT? Ok you need to get started on the cameras and find out what he's up to."

"Ok, I'll get to work and I'll tell you how it goes."

For the next few days, Dr. Conner installs cameras on the walls and he works on making the vaccine. "This is my new vaccine to cure COVID!"

"Hey, it's Alexis from CUH, you don't know me but I was thinking that you could install cameras in your lab."

"Are you the girl who almost got hit with the jar?

"Yes, how do you know?"

"My brother Dylan was trying to kill you with the rock that he threw at the jar."
January 9, 2025 at 12:28 AM
"There's only 1 thing I can do to get my brother and his friend in jail for what they did." He walks away thinking What am I going to do?

After thinking it over for a while, Alexis decided to contact Mr. Conner and tell him her idea.

"Don't worry." The police say, "We'll have security surrounding the area when you're gone. It'll be fine.

"Thank you sir." Wait a minute. He thought. That's just what I said and just two years after I had said that, this happened. I don't want that to happen again. "You know what?" Dr. Conner says.
January 9, 2025 at 12:28 AM
"Make another product that can fix this mess. That way, Drake and Dylan will be in prison for life and then they can't get in your way anymore." One of the police says

"But it could happen again." Dr. Conner explains, "The two of them coming in and ruining my plan to fix this."

At that moment, she thinks, all of us had seen that they were all ghosts, but how was that possible? What are we going to do now?

"We need to fix this! And get the students to safety!" Dr. Conner says worried.

"They were searching the school after the custodian reported seeing blood on the walls." her dad continues, breaking the silence. "There are signals to stock up on food and water while the police search where the culprits are."
January 9, 2025 at 12:28 AM

"You doing ok?" Alexis's mom asks, coming into the kitchen, picking up a pile of dishes. "I heard what happened at school today."

"I'm fine." Alexis answered.
January 9, 2025 at 12:28 AM
Meanwhile, Alexis went in front of her dad's study door and knocked. Then her dad opened the door.

"Hi sweetie."

"Talking with the police?" Alexis replied curiously.

"Yes, actually." her dad replied, with no excitement.

"WELL, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO CONTAIN IT! IT'LL SPREAD ALL THROUGH THE WORLD!"

Realization and a new fear crowded into Dylan's face as he realized the truth. As long as Dylan didn't know how to contain this virus, it was spreading throughout the world and would cause terror and death.
January 9, 2025 at 12:28 AM
"DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!" He bellowed, with Dylan looking at him sheepishly.

"No I- "

"You have just released another COVID, and you almost hurt a lot of students! What were you thinking?!"

"I was jealous of you, I didn't mean for any of this to happen!" he cowered, looking terrified.
January 9, 2025 at 12:28 AM
Back at the school, Dr. Conner thinks about the accident and realizes that his brother Drake had told his friend Dylan to throw the rock at the jar. Dr. Conner was horrified when he came back and dragged Dylan into a science classroom.
January 9, 2025 at 12:28 AM
When some more of them start coming out, the kids all panic. Alexis runs and grabs her backpack, sweeping it on her back, and she runs outside with the others. When she thought it was safe, Alexis walks the rest of the way home.

The rock hits the glass jar full of the vaccine, and it crashes in shards to the ground.

Slowly, a swirling portal appears, and black smoke starts to dance around the portal. With horror, the students watch as the portal releases shadows of past COVID victims.
January 9, 2025 at 12:28 AM
Soon, Dr. Conner talks for awhile. Alexis thought this would take days, maybe even weeks for him to finish. When he finishes, the room shakes and the power goes out. Then a supervisor in the same room named Dylan throws a rock in the direction of the jar.

"The vaccine worked and Lisa will make a full recovery. Dr. Conner goes home then it clicks. He could explain how the vaccine worked.

When Alexis was in the cafeteria with the rest of her class, Mr. Lincoln starts talking.

"Dr. Conner's going to show us his new vaccine for COVID." he says.
