Chapter 3 - Dire Consequences 

[ The Secret Life of Wilson ]

Dr. Christopher knew that he would be gone for a long time. He also knew that he might never go back alive. He wished he had the chance to explain everything to Will. If only he could. He feared that he would lose him like his father. After a month after Will's parents were killed by the organization he was working for, which he was unaware of, he stumbled on a file that was stuck perfectly under his table. He always thought that it was paranoia that Arthur was acting all tensed up and worried. He had seen Arthur working late hours sometimes even staying up all night for weeks on a row. Once a few times he confronted him on his working hours to be very unhealthy. And it was in his request that Arthur took the little naps and used to go home. Else God knows what might have happened to him. He was worried so was Arthur's wife. She was a nurse and they met in a medical conference a few years ago but Arthur is rarely home and their son has a mild cancer.  She was worried about everything. Though Dr. Christopher told her that Arthur was just working and caught up in work and once this is over he will quit the job. Arthur really wanted to quit the job after their project panned out. And curing his son was Arthur's number one priority and that was the reason he was working his ass off. Zack ( Arthur used to call Dr. Chrishopher as he was a good friend of his ) never knew about Alex's condition until he found out the papers in the file under his desk. 

The file was filled with different calculations, formulas, research and lot of gibberish notes that didn't make sense. Then there were some observations that looked like a blood report but with numbers that complicated it even more. Too much things didn't add up. He stopped short when he saw Alex's name. Why on earth will there be Alex's name on some research that Arthur was doing?", Zach thought to himself.  He locked up the files in his cabinet which was when another paper came out of picture of all this research material. It was then he realized the reason behind Arthur's panaroia. He wasn't paranoid about anything. He was trying tonstoo something big. And in the process he was killed. All this came to light when he saw the construction plan and the dim blurry photos and some redacted files which were marked CONFIDENTIAL. Something was going on. 

Alex had a cancer and his father almost found a cure for it. And he had to use it under dire circumstances when it became critical for Alex. After a few struggles his cancer was almost cured by his father and so did his father thought. But there was a bigger picture in play, which he failed to realize at that time. On the contrary he was intelligent enough to know the consequences of what could happen if the organization found about this.  It was a breakthrough in the field of medicine and Arthur has already become suspicious about the intentions of the Organization. He couldn't tell anyone. The problem was that Zack himself didn't know about how the drug was made. And he feared Alex's safety. So he took him in. Alex was supposedly dead along with his parents on a car accident that happened on the hilly side of the country and the bodies weren't found as the burned car was deep in the steep cliff  where the rescue crew couldn't go. And the prototype cure of cancer which was performed on Alex was a step away from bringing more complications for him and the kid. Micheal knew about this all along. He was just waiting for the right moment.

Dr. Cage was no fool. He found out everything what has been happening in the laboratory with Arthur and he was the one who reported to the higher officials about snooping into the restricted laboratory. Micheal knew that Arthur was working on something big and during one of Arthur's unusual naps he came to know what actually Arthur was working on. He just wanted the product, the cure, whether if it is a prototype or whatever. He just wanted something. The organization was planning to cut the budgets since they had to maintain two laboratories among which one was completely kept under wraps. And there hasn't been many breakthrough, nor any money generating discoveries in medicine. When Zack discarded his thoughts as paranoia, Arthur came to tell Micheal about his findings when he came to know about the Lab even though he didn't trust him. After all he went to college with him and so he thought he was on his side.

Micheal made Zack work on the works of Arthur, because his discovery lead into the use of a much more powerful energy. I idea was not to kill Arthur, but use him to his own advantage. But the other day, Arthur came to know about the Micheal's intention and as an attempt to flee away, he met with an accident, but that wasn't an accident. Arthur knew too much than he should have. Another assumption that Micheal had was that all his work would still be in the laboratory. So, his absence wasn't such a big deal after all. But he was wrong. The kind of research and whatsoever discovery that Arthur made, Micheal couldn't make anything out of it. So, he had no choice but to involve Zack. 

Zack never really agreed to work on anything that Micheal had told him to do. But a mail from his old job made him think otherwise. What was supposedly an invitation for a lecture was actually a letter coded which only he could understand. A letter from a dear friend who is dead in the national database. The only reason which compelled him to continue because the letter indicated a greater discovery in play, which was beyond anyones' expectation.
