Alexander quickly grabbed two emergency hazmat masks from a wall dispenser and tossed one to Maya.
They strapped the protective gear over their faces to avoid breathing in the deadly airborne agent.
He kicked open the double doors leading down into the lower containment levels of the lab.
He found Victoria standing inside the central glass vault, bathed in harsh emergency lighting.
She was holding a glowing blue glass vial delicately in her gloved hands.

Alexander raised his weapon and ordered her to put the deadly vial down immediately.
