Bella warned him. "Max, this door has thermal detection. You can't touch the handle directly."

Bella's voice came again. "Third column. Blue label. Take one. That's the enhancer stabilizer."
Max collected it, then gathered two more that Bella highlighted. He placed everything into the impact-proof case.
"Now the files," Bella said.
He exited the ingredients room and walked toward the records chamber.
