Chemical warfare

Reading through Martha's file was not completely eye opening. She is an alcoholic with delusions of grandeur... not a shock. Sylvie came though for us with the copies of this file and the bonus Zoe Addams file. We learned a couple things about Martha from the file: 1. Dr. Selma Perry was her primary doc and 2. Dr. Archibald Tennent recommended Martha attend group therapy with his patients.
 
I was more interested in Zoe's file. The woman is rich, powerful, and a mystery. I know next to nothing about her and with my hobbies, i can't afford any negative attention. I grab her file to peruse while the rest of the group strategizes our next steps:
 
Me - Ask lab at work for chemical composition of vials found in Wolfe Tower.
Sylvie - Search the Walsh residence
Toby - Find information re: skin head incident
Scarlett - Go to the Washboard for more info.
Drake - backup Sylvie @ the Walshes
 
I take the Addams file with me and spend some time in my normal life. Go to the bar, studio, recharge at my apartment.
 
The next day, I drop off the vial and some old paint samples at the lab. I am not the only one working on the weekend, Robbie is there and we discuss her love life and other adventures while I wait for the results. She wen to the Grindhouse on a coffee run just as the new lab tech, Ike came storming into the break room. He was seriously freaked and looking for the source of the vial. I explained that I grabbed a bunch of things from my workstation and pretended to be surprised and alarmed about "Poison X". He confirmed the substance was a blackmarket drug used to induce heart attacks. It was not something you would find easily. You would need money, connections, and some seriously fucked up unresolved issues. I told Ike I was going home to shower and told him to do the same. I'd explain to Robbie on Monday why i took off. By then, hopefully i had a better story for her.
 
That night we reconvened at The End. I explained my findings and was presented with a police file for John Nowak. Finally we had a name for the skin head who was at the center of this investigation. According to the file he had been paroled.
 
We discussed what his motive might be and so far we think Nowak wants to keep Martha sad. When she is sad it seeps through her songs and affects the audience. Maybe he wants to keep himself in the sad zone?
 
Scarlett shares that Sammy had booked Marth at the Opera and he claims that proves he had no motive to injure her.
 
As it gets later we make plans:
 
Toby - Have a conversation with Mike Smith, the parole officer for John Nowak.
Scarlett, Sylvie, Drake: Go to Nowak's workplace - Harrington Welding & Fabricating in the south industrial district
Me... I'm going to work on getting some info on Zoe Addams
