SURPRISE PHONE CALL

[herosfather]

[casually leaving a voicemail]

Hey, this is Stilinski from Security. I'm looking for someone to run some tests on a substance I've found and I heard you were a chemist. If you could get back to me when you've got time, that'd be great. Thanks.

[hostage]

[Calling back not too much later.]

Yo. Yeah, I'm the chemist. What kinda substance are we talking about here?

[herosfather]

It's a black powder, just a small bottle of it.

[hostage]

Where'd you find it?

[herosfather]

It, uh, showed up in my locker, but it isn't mine. When I mentioned it on the network, I heard more than a handful of conflicting stories about it from pesticide to human remains.

[hostage]

Aight, drop it off by the lab and I'll run some tests. Can't guarantee I'll figure out what it is, but I could probably at least tell you what it's made of, chemically.

[herosfather]

Thanks, I'll do that.

[and he does, later, swing by the science lab to drop off a small bottle of what, unknown to Stilinski, is mountain ash. he'll wait to hear back about it, though somewhat impatiently.]
