The empty lab. It was all that greeted Mark that morning. Professor Davies' workstation, usually overflowing with half-finished experiments and scribbled notes, was pristine. A single sticky note on the monitor read, “Gone fishing. Good luck.” The audacity of it! He reread the message.

Mark felt his chest constrict. He slammed his fist on the stainless steel counter, the metallic clang echoing in the room. He'd poured years into this project, believing in Davies' vision. Now, here he was, abandoned with a cryptic note and a vacuum where guidance should be.

He ripped his lab coat off and flung it across the room. He had no more patience for the charade. Davies' sudden departure felt like a betrayal. He knew, he had a hunch, he would find him. And he would make him understand the impact of his actions.
