                                                                      He took the shuttle bus back to the medical science building to  finish his earlier conversation with Yuki. When he walked into the lab the familiar sounds of the equipment running filled the air, along with Kasia’s Polish music. He usually enjoyed the ambience; it would make him feel like he was somewhere else when he was having a stressful day. It wasn’t working today, however.                                                                                                   “Yuki?” he quietly called while peering around the corner. Kasia was sitting at her desk, staring intently at her computer screen.                             “She got a package and went into the conference room down the hall; didn’t say much,” Kasia said, without looking away.                                          Dorian felt troubled by this. “What package? Is she all right?”               “Relax,” Kasia quipped, shifting her gaze to Yuki’s desk, where the remnants of a bubble packed envelope were sitting.              
                  “She’s fine; it was a memory chip with a movie on it. 'Something Street'.”                                                                                                                               Dorian went over to Yuki’s desk. The package had been sent from T.D. International corp.                                                                                                   “Oh, before you go, don’t forget you have office hours at four,” Kasia reminded him. He pondered on whom the package might be  from and headed to the conference room. Yuki was sitting alone with her laptop, watching an old movie titled “Wall Street”.                                                         “What’s going on?” he asked.                                                                       “I don’t know. This was sent to the lab. For some reason it was addressed to me. I didn’t order any movie. There wasn’t an invoice, a note or anything in the package,” she replied, a slight worry in her tone.               “I just started playing it. What does this mean?”                                                                       “Why don’t we start from the beginning of yesterday,” Dorian said, closing the conference room door behind him.               “Tell me what happened.”              
    Yuki paused, gathering her thoughts and deciding what she wanted to say.              
    “I was contacted by my father, who told to me to go to New York and meet with an investor who had some questions for me about your research. I did not give it much thought, as there is nothing top secret about what we do and little opportunity for profit, so I agreed to hear them out since they were offering payment just to listen.”                                           Dorian’s face was expressionless; Yuki worried he might be upset with her.
