"It's nice to finally meet you, Sherry. Birkin told me about you. I'm glad to see you're alive, and I'm sure he would be too." Charlie nodded.

Junior let out a series of curious gurgle as he tried to reach towards the sludge. Hawking kept a good hold on him to make sure he didn't eat it.

"No, sweetie. That's not food." Charlie spoke softly yet sternly before turning her attention to Sherry again, "I'm starting to think what you were sent here to investigate is connected to what I've been dealing with lately. I worked for a company called Lazarus Corporation. We specialized in genetics and cloning. Unfortunately, there was a major B.O.W attack a month ago and our facility was one of the places attacked. And, to make matters worse, we were blamed for that same attack. I've been trying to prove our innocence ever since with little success."

Hawking asked, "So, that bear was after you?"

She answered, "Me, your father, your siblings. I got a bad feeling why. In the meantime, I'd like to study this sample I collected."
