Lana still didn't look well. Why had it become so difficult for her to get a cure, now that they knew what it was and how to get it? Was someone intentionally keeping her away from it, or was it just circumstantial? Or had she tried it, and it hadn't worked?
He held up one hand, as if to stall greeting, then turned off his torch and stuck it under his arm, then slung the backpack off his shoulder and unzipped the front pouch.
"I don't know if this is still any good, but it's worth a try if you want it."
With that, he produced the little plastic bag from his backpack and, holding it with just the tips of his thumb and index finger, offered it to Lana.
