Good luck with that, Harvath thought. In his experience, life was predominantly made up of three distinct groups: sheep, sheepdogs, and wolves. And if there was one thing he had learned from a lifetime of hunting wolves and protecting sheep, it was that sheep had two speeds-graze and stampede. Now that word was out that the virus was loose, all bets were off. Very soon, chaos was going to ensue. What else do you have? he asked, bracing himself for more bad news. The pharmaceutical companies Damien's involved with appear pretty benign. One focuses on dementia medication and the other on birth control drugs.
Harvath reflects on the nature of life, categorizing people into three groups: sheep, sheepdogs, and wolves. His experiences as a protector have taught him that sheep tend to move between two states: grazing calmly and panicking when threatened. With news of a virus outbreak, he senses that society is on the brink of chaos as fear spreads. He braces himself for additional unsettling updates.
He learns that the pharmaceutical companies connected to Damien seem harmless, dealing mainly with medications for dementia and birth control. However, Harvath remains cautious, aware that the impending crisis could unearth unforeseen dangers and challenges.
