Part 54

Lucy Sanchez nearly slammed into the back of Lewis as
he quickly stepped back into the stairwell.
"What....."Walter asked but a gesture from Lewis
silenced him.
"Stay put."Lewis ordered as he started to slip out
into the corridor.
Lucy grabbed his shoulder,"There's no way we're just
staying here..."
Lewis snatched her wrist and twisted it painfully as
he slammed her back against the wall next to
Attwood,"Ms. Sanchez, if you wish to survive this
little escapade I suggest you remain silent and trust
that I have your best interests at heart."
Lucy furiously broke Lewis's grasp allowing him to
turn and walk out into the hallway.

Tom had decided that he wasn't going to resist
whatever punishment that Colin decided on.
Especially if it got him back to Sloan faster.
But when the fists started to fly instinct kicked in
and Tom found himself fighting back.
He managed to knock out three of Colin's men before
Colin had enough of the situation.
"Enough!"Colin ordered as he stepped forward,"Take him
outside. You know where to deliver him to!"
The men scrambled to their feet and grabbed Tom
roughly by the shoulders and dragged him out of the
room.

Ed gently helped Sloan into a sitting position as he
handed her a glass of water.
"Take it easy."Ed ordered as he crouched on the right
side of the bed resting his arms on the metal
railing,"The last thing we need is for you to have a
relapse. That means no over doing it on anything
including talking."
Sloan looked from Ray to Ed and back again. They were
both clearly worried about something besides her
health.
"Baby?"Sloan asked hoarsely her eyes wide with
concern.
Ed gently took one of her hands in his,"As far as I
can tell the poison had no effect on the baby. The
heart rate's a little fast but that could be from the
difference in DNA."
Sloan nodded as her head fell back against the pillow
her eyes drifting closed.
Tate stood motioning for Ray to leave the room,"Get
some rest,Sloan. I'll be back in a little while to
check on you."

As Ed turned to leave he felt a hand grab his elbow he
turned back toward Sloan,"Sloan?"
The young woman met her best friend's gaze her eyes
filled with fear,"Ed,find Tom. He needs us."
