Wade walked into Lavon's kitchen expecting to find Zoe sitting at her normal spot eating her breakfast. However for the third time that week, she was nowhere in sight. Wade had gotten to know Zoe rather well in the last month and one thing he learned was that Zoe Hart was always on time. If she was even a minute late she would freak, it was just another trait of her uptight self.

Deciding not to think too much of it Wade grabs a bowl and pours himself some breakfast. He's bound to run into the brunette at some point today. And he sure was right.

"Doc I got a problem." Wade yells as he walks into the practice and into Zoe's office. He stops dead in his tracks when he sees her with her head resting on her arm, eyes closed.

The sound of his voice must have startled her because she jumps. "Oh hey Wade." She says tiredly as she notices his presents.

"Are you feeling alright?" Wade asks clearly concerned. He would never tell her this out loud but Zoe looked like hell. Her face was pale and she was pretty sure she had lost a few pounds, something she did not need to do.

"I'm fine." She told him as she shook her head and then stood up walking over to we're he was standing. "Just didn't get enough sleep last night. Now what's wrong with you?"

Wade looked Zoe up and down. He still was a little skeptical about what was wrong but decided to leave it. "Oh the stupid fence at the Rammer Jammer cut my leg." Lifting his pant leg up he revealed the cut that was wrapped up with a white T-shirt.

Zoe dragged herself through the front door of her house later that evening. She was exhausted. Not even bothering with dinner she crawled into her bed and fell right asleep. She didn't care that it was barely six o'clock and just getting dark.

15 hours. She had been asleep for nearly fifteen hours and she was still exhausted. When she woke up the next morning she found the room spinning and her head pounding. Her whole body ached like she had just run a marathon.

She called DeDe to explain to her that she wouldn't be able to come in today and the crawled deeper into her covers. It was probably just some 24 hour flu and maybe if she slept all day it would be gone by morning.

The next day things had gotten worse. Along with the pounding in her head, fatigue and dizziness she also felt nauseas. She couldn't miss work again however. Using all her energy she got up out of bed and for ready for the day.

"I'm closing the practice early today." Brick told Zoe later that afternoon. "The fishing tournament starts in an hour."

On any normal day Zoe would have complained. She would have said something about keeping it open, she would handle any patient that happened to stop by. But today was not a normal day. She just wanted to go home and sleep.

That was exactly what she was going to do, sleep. She was about to lock the doors of the practice and head home when she remembered that she was supposed to meet Rose. She had a school project on New York due this week and Zoe had promised that she would help her. Sighing she headed for the Rammer Jammer.

Wade was taking out the trash when he spotted Zoe. He hadn't seen much of her the last few days and decided it was time to give her a hard time. Closing the dumpster lid he walked over to her.

"Miss me so much you had to come visit me at work?" He asked the tiny brunette with a grin.

"Actually I came to help Rose with a project." Zoe told him. The two continued to walk and a wave of dizziness hit her. Wade must have noticed because a look of concern crossed his face.

"Zoe are you ok?"

"I'm fine." Zoe wasn't so sure though as the words escaped her lips and her body began to sway.

"Woah." Wade said as he grabbed ahold of her arm to try and steady her, just in time as the doctor collapsed into his arms. "Zoe. Look at me." He said panic in his voice as he gently tapped her face. "Come on doc wake up." Still nothing. Wade looked around for help. "I need help over here!" He yelled out loud. "Somebody call an ambulance!"

The next few moments passed by in a blur. A crowed formed wondering what drama the New Yorker was bringing about now. Someone must have went and gotten Brick seeing as he was now crouched down next to Wade.

"What happened?"

Wade shook his head. "We we were talking and I noticed her swaying and then she was in my arms." He said with panic in his voice.

"Her pulse is a little weak." He said to nobody in particular. "Did anybody call an ambulance?"

"They are about twenty minutes away." George said pushing through the crowed and joining wade and Brick.

"Let's get her inside the practice while we wait for them." Wade lifted Zoe up and carried her into the practice.

The fact that she was a lot lighter then he remembered scared him. All of this scared him. Something was wrong with the doctor and he was afraid of what it might be. Wade wasn't one to deal with sickness. His mom had died and ever since then he never really had hope when it came to an illness.

They got Zoe inside the practice and Brick got her started on an IV. He explained that that was all they could really do until the ambulance got there. Her heart rate had gone back to almost normal and she didn't seem to be in any danger. She was just asleep. Her bodies way of fighting off whatever was wrong with her.
