The Ranger's Reunion Threat

“Cyanide,” Isabel said. She held up her clutch of samples, the glass tubes jangling a bit against the metal rack. “I’m going to send these out for processing to confirm, but I’m positive it’s cyanide.”

Diego frowned. “I don’t recall seeing any dangerous plants out there today.”
