clubs together. Taylor couldn’t believe that after numerous flights, he had finally gotten a traveling companion as good looking and friendly as Alex.  Dessert was a combination of ice cream sundaes and assorted cheeses and after the meal ended, both Alex and Taylor retreated to their lay down beds for some sleep or late night movies.
    Taylor awoke several hours later and although he had slept for almost five hours, he felt like shit. His head throbbed and he felt stiff and achy. He thought to himself, “Fuck, don’t let me be coming down with something, especially after getting Alex for a traveling partner.” He popped a few Aleve and hoped he’d feel better soon.
    Two hours later he was up again and his throat was sore and he had started to get a slight cough. “Fuck me”, he thought. By the time the flight crew was serving breakfast he was feeling a little better and he had a nice conversation with Alex while trying not to cough all over her. He could feel that he was catching something and they still had almost 7 hours left on this long 18- hour flight. He tried to catch some more sleep but woke up coughing but finally managed to get control of it and was able to spend some talk time with Alex. They were both staying at the same hotel in KL and he hoped he’d be feeling better soon so that he could spend some quality time with Alex when he wasn’t working on his case.
    The Airbus A-380, like all modern day airplanes circulates the cabin air continually while the plane is in flight, and so, even though the air is partially filtered and remixed with fresh air during the flight, some of the germs and microbes still manage to survive and are distributed throughout the cabin. The longer the flight, the more chance that these microbes will eventually reach a passenger and later cause some sort of sickness. The microbes from Agent Taylor’s cough would circulate throughout the Airbus during it’s 18 hours of flight time and by the time the plane landed in Seoul, Korea, over half the 525 passengers that it carried would become infected with the super virus. Many would not begin to feel the symptoms of the virus for several days and several, like Agent Taylor and his traveling companion, would connect to onward flights in Seoul and infect passengers on these flights. The virus would travel like a row of dominoes, once the first domino fell, the others would follow.
    By the time Agent Taylor reached Seoul he was beginning to feel a little better and hoped that whatever he was getting had miraculously passed. He and Alex connected with a Korean Airlines flight to KL, flight time approximately 7 hours. Taylor again began to feel achy and the cough returned. Microbes were again spreading throughout the plane and additional people would become exposed to the deadly virus. By the time the plane reached KL, Taylor wasn’t sure he had the strength to make it to the hotel but he discounted his condition to the flu and the long flight. He thought a day or two of rest would have him back to normal. He caught Alex at the baggage pickup and said that he thought he was coming down with something but would connect with her later when he felt better. Alex said it must be from breathing all the recycled air as she too was starting to get a sore throat.
    Taylor got checked into a Deluxe Room at the Marriott and decided that a day or two of bed rest would get him back on his feet. He called the Embassy and said he was a bit under the weather but would connect with the investigative team in a day or two. The Legal Attache told Taylor to “get well” and he would check in with him in a day or two. Taylor drifted off into a deep sleep and finally awoke twelve hours later, still feeling bad, in fact maybe worse than when he went to bed. He decided a hot shower might help things and he was shocked to see dark black and blue spots on several parts of his body when he got undressed. He panicked and thought he better get some medical
