      Chapter I

      It was a quarter past midnight when the telephone at Robert Baird’s house rang. Who’s calling at this ungodly hour? he said to himself stretching to reach the telephone. He struggled to cross his empty king-sized bed to reach the nightstand that used to be his wife’s, where the phone kept ringing. Since Jane, his wife, had left him a couple of years before to go to work for Doctors Without Borders, he very much spent his life alone. He was a Zoologist with a PhD in Ethology and had worked for the last 10 years as a professor and investigator at Boston University. He was a quiet man who had done his share of field work in his younger years, but had become not very much prone to adventure and therefore had accepted the ethologist position offered by the university to study the behavior of domestic animals, which meant he didn’t have to leave the lab. He basically spent his days combining his research work and his teaching activities; probably the reason his wife had left him.

      She was the adventurous member of the couple and after 15 years of marriage she had decided to see the world. An opportunity had come around to work in Papua New Guinea, where the organization had decided to try using remotely-piloted aerial vehicles to gather sputum tests for patients suspected of having Tuberculosis in a remote area of this faraway land. The tests were then flown back to the hospital to be tested in a lab. This was being used as a new, revolutionary model for diagnostics that they were trying for future implementation in other remote areas where roads and waterways are not feasible for travel. Jane’s job was mainly to coordinate the process. She worked at the hospital and she considered her job a little too administrative for her taste, but it allowed her to visit remote countries and travel extensively through the southeast of Asia. They had kept in contact since; even if their marriage had not worked that well because of their different approaches in life, they were good friends and cared a lot about each other. That worked fine for Jane, and in Robert’s heart there was still a little hope of convincing her of giving their marriage a second chance.

      Hello, dear friend, a voice said on the other side of the line. You sound kind of sleepy; don’t tell me I woke you up.

      For God’s sake, it’s already after midnight, who is this?

      On the other side of the phone was Dr. Paul Lasseter, an eminence on Herpetology who worked at Berkley’s research center in California. They had met at a congress in Vienna many years before and they had kept in touch and shared their research throughout the past years. Theirs wasn’t the closest of friendships, but they had visited each other a few times
