On the way, Jong-seok visited several more pharmacies. There was a message in each pharmacy saying that they sell RX57, and people were standing in a long line.

'Hmm....'

Tak Myung-jin asked Jong-seok, who saw people lining up to buy medicine.

"What's wrong?"

I'm so tired that I want to go to the dorm and rest, but Jongseok stops by every pharmacy and it's strange.

When asked by Tak Myung-jin, Jong-seok said after a while.

"I have a place to go, so let's have dinner together next time.”

"Oh, well, I'm going back to Korea in two days. Do you have time tomorrow?"

"You're already going home?”

"Fortunately, I took the test before it happened, so there's no reason for me to stay in the U.S. anymore, as long as I get my license."

In the middle of the bedding practical test, I couldn't take about half of the test because something happened.

But half have already taken the test. Those who took the test decided to air the results, and those who did not take the test decided to take the test again in a few days.

Since the practical test is a practical test anyway, there is no problem with the problem paper being leaked.

Therefore, there was no reason for Tak Myung-jin to stay in the U.S. while spending expensive stay.

You can get a license in Korea.

"Then when will Jong-seok die?”

"I haven't finished something yet, so I'm going to stay for a while. And there are things I need to go to Boston."

"Boston?"

"There are people living in Boston, so I have to say hello."

"I see."

"See you tomorrow, then."

Jong-seok, who broke up with Tak Myung-jin, waited for the bus. Jong-seok on the bus nodded that there was no one inside.

People don't come here because it's close to where the epidemic is.

In addition, infectious diseases reduce the number of people going out.

Even the driver was wearing a mask and gloves used in the hospital.

Thinking like that, Jongseok took out his cell phone. Then I called Jane.

"This is Lee."

Isn't the traffic bad there? Do you want me to send you a car?

When I received my cell phone today, Jong-seok checked several missed calls and text messages.

Blackwood and transport staff saw the news, called and texted.

I know that Jong-seok went to the practical test for bedding yesterday, but the news there came out on TV.

Those who would call him made a phone call and those who would text him informed him of his safety by texting him.

Jane said she would go to the company with the word that she came out safely, but she called again because she thought she would stop by somewhere else.

"I'm on my way by bus now, but I think I'll have to stop by somewhere else."

Another place?

"It's the police station."

Is it taking a long time?

"Do you have a patient?"

There's always a patient. Okay. I have work to do yesterday, so take a rest today.

"Can I?”

You can do that.

Jong-seok smiled because he had a hard voice but was considerate.

"Thank you."

Jong-seok, who hung up on it, nodded while looking at his cell phone.

"I'll tell him I'll resign if I get my bedclothes license."

Now, Jong-seok looked out of the window, thinking of resigning for missing Korea, too.

People were all wearing masks and walking with gloves on their hands.

'It's more frightening than I thought.

Thinking so, Jong-seok called Donald.

Lee

"I'd like to see you over there right now.”

Now?

"Yes."

I'm on alert for an epidemic.

"I have something to say about the epidemic."

Infectious disease? Oh! You're here to take the Lee Bedclothes Test, right? Then were you at the bedding test yesterday?

"Yes."

Are you feeling well?

"I'm fine. As a precaution, I ate RX57 as well."

That's good. But what do you mean by infectious diseases?

"Not on the phone. I'd like to talk to you in person.”

Well... it wouldn't matter if you took the medicine. Would you like to come to MacArthur Park?

"McArthur Park... Yes, sir."

Jong-seok, who wanted to see MacArthur Park in person, hung up on his cell phone.

***

There are many parks in LA, but it was MacArthur Park that people rarely go to.

The park was not dirty. There were ponds, trees, and plenty of room to rest, as it explains the park culture in America.

However, the park was also a slum and many homeless people lived there, so tourists and people who knew the situation avoided it.

Jong-seok, who got off the bus near MacArthur Park, could see the police line.

Jong-seok called Donald while watching the off-limits police.

"I arrived at the entrance to the park."

Please wait. I'll go there.

When I hung up and waited a moment, I saw Donald coming out of the police.

When Jong-seok raised his hand, Donald approached him.

"You look very busy, don't you?"

"Infectious diseases are important for early response. All the L.A. police are on the line of control and vigilance."

Donald looked at the stalks, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"What are you saying?"

"I think it's a little exaggerated, but... There's a suspicious situation."

"What if it's a questionable situation?"

"The most profitable thing in this virus case is a pharmaceutical company named Hugha, who created the RX57.

"You don't think you intentionally released the virus in Huba?”

"There's a little suspicion."

Donald shook his head at Jong-seok's horse.

"No matter how good the money is, would you have done that?"

"I think so, too. How many people travel to Africa a year from the United States?”

"Why do you ask me that all of a sudden?"

"RX57 is an African native virus treatment. That's why they take them when they go to Africa. But I heard it's a drug that doesn's not selling well."

When Jong-seok showed me the RX57 that he bought at the pharmacy, Donald received it and looked at it and said,

"There aren't many Americans going to Africa, so there won't be a lot of drugs sold to prevent your illness."

"And do you know how much this medicine costs?"

"How much is it?"

"If you have prescriptions, it's $120 if you don't have $20."

“120?”

Donald shook the medicine at Jong-seok's horse and opened it. There were two tablets in it.

"Two eggs 120?"

"Yes, and now people are lining up at the drugstore to buy this medicine. Isn't this a little weird, too.

"I'm trying to take some medicine before I get sick. Why is that weird?”

Jong-seok shook his head at Donald's question.

"The pharmaceutical company is a company, and the company seeks profit. The reason we created the RX57 in Huba is probably to seek profit."

"I suppose so."

"Then how much medicine does the company produce that doesn't sell well?"

"Just a little bit if it's a bad seller..."

Donald, who was talking, saw RX57. Then he opened his mouth after a while.

"People are buying RX57 at every pharmacy?"

"Every pharmacy I've been to was lined up with people buying RX57."

Donald nodded at Jong-seok's words.

"You mean there are now plenty of drugs in every pharmacy that weren't in demand. As if you've supplied the medicine because you knew this would happen?"

Jong-seok nodded.

"That's what I thought."

Donald opened his mouth after a while, as if he had doubts and doubts about Jong-

"It's certainly a suspicious situation.”

Then Donald thought for a while and took out his cell phone and called.

Donald, who called his boss and hung up on him, said, "I think I'll have to look at something else for a while."

"It's questionable, but it's just a mental note, so I need proof."

"Don't you think it'll be proof if we check the delivery date for the RX57?”

"I'll just have to check on him, but... Those who have done this wouldn't have left evidence easily."

"That's probably true. But... I think there's plenty of reason to check."

Donald nodded at Jong-seok's words and said,

"There's a pharmacy a block away. Let's check the date and number of drugs that came in."

Jong-seok took out his cell phone as he walked with Donald. Then I called somewhere.

ha, ha, ha!

I could hear Jin Yang-woo's voice with a pleasant laugh.

Agenda is America worth staying?

"I'm doing fine. Have you seen the LA news?”

L.A. News? Ah!

Jin Yang-woo hurriedly asked, as if he had realized something.

Bedding test! Are you okay?

Jin Yang-woo, like the head of a global investment company, was watching most of the news from each country.

"I'm fine. But I'm calling to ask you a question."

I'm glad you're okay. So what is it?

"Do you know a company called Hugha?"

I don't know much about this place.

"You mean you don't know well, but you do?"

It's a good company, although it's a place that I didn't care about because it doesn't make money.

"Good company?"

It's a good company to make some kind of viral medicine that spread in LA this time.

"Really?"

Drugs like RX57 are not money, but they have to be made. Even if one person gets sick a year, he or she needs the medicine to treat him or her. Which means we have to do research for that one patient and have manufacturing facilities. How much is it?

Do you know if it's money-losing business?

"I see."

"That's the cure for rare diseases. You can't afford it, but you have to make it. Of course, the demand is so low that they set the price high. But it is a pharmaceutical company that is more popular and sells cheaper drugs than expensive ones. From my point of view, it's a bad company, but the world.

It's a company you should see in .

"Hubba is a good company..."

So why ask that?

"Excuse me, could you find out about Hugha?”

If you're trying to invest, it's too late.

"What?"

Hubba's stock has already nearly doubled.

"Double?"

The U.S. has no limit on stock prices like Korea. U.S. stocks go up and down endlessly when they go up and down.

"But could you still look into it?”

I'm asking for an agenda. I'll send the data to your cell phone.

"Thank you."

And I'm glad you're healthy.

Jong-seok, who hung up on it, went into the pharmacy with Donald.

But the pharmacy was quieter than I thought. There were no people except a few people standing and buying medicine.

"There are no people out there.”

"If the price is $120... It's not easy for people here to buy."

"But you're near the outbreak site, and you're not taking any medication?”

"If I get sick, I won't go to the hospital until then. It's an infectious disease, so the authorities have to treat it even if you don't have money.”

He approached the counter and the pharmacist saw Donald.

"What medicine do you want?”

"Do you have an RX57?"

At Donald's words, the pharmacist took the medicine out of the counter. Donald, who was looking at the drug, showed me his police ID.

The pharmacist smacked his lips and put the medicine back under the counter.

"What's going on?"

"RX57 What is your usual inventory?"

"Before this virus goes off?"

"Yes."

"We don't handle pharmacies. None of the people here are good enough to travel to Africa, and people from Africa are here to make money, not to buy these 120-dollar drugs."

"And now you have medicine? When did you come in?”

"I gave it to him in the morning at Huba."

"At Huba?"

"He said he'd come back to pick it up if it didn't sell. So I said yes. I was wondering if I had to go out to buy something because I had to eat."

Donald asked the pharmacist.

"So you didn't sell RX57 today?”

"I sold about ten packs.”

At the pharmacist's words, Donald took Jong-seok out and started driving around the other pharmacies.

The situation at other pharmacies was similar. It was all about bringing medicine from Huba in the morning.

Donald, who looked around several more pharmacies, stroked his chin.

"Hmm... if it was in stock a few days ago, you'd be suspicious, but if it was released this morning, shouldn't we say that we've been contacted by the CDC and brought it back and unpacked?"

Jong-seok nodded at Donald's words.

"Yes, but..."

Jong-seok's appetite is gone. Somehow I felt itchy behind me.

Looking at the stone, Donald looked at his cell phone and opened his mouth.

"I'll do some research. I'm working yesterday, so please go in and rest. Get in. I'll give you a ride to your accommodation."

Jong-seok nodded at Donald's words and got into the car.
