Myka was kneeling at Pete's side performing chest compressions as hard and fast as she could. "Come on Pete! You can't go!" Myka knew that she would not survive the loss of another partner.
Myka and Pete had been following the wrath of the Spine of the Saracen all day. It had been about an hour since the spine had attached itself to her partner and Artie had communicated that the only way the Spine separates from a person is when that person is totally devoid energy: dead.
Due to a blast of electricity, the Spine had been removed from Pete, yet he still lay unconscious on the floor.
Behind Myka, former agent Rebecca grabbed a fire extinguisher and succeeded in demolishing the Spine.. Myka continued compressions and tried a percordial thump as a last ditch attempt.
It didn't work. Pete lay motionless on the floor. That was it. There were no other options. He had no pulse. He wasn't breathing. He was gone. It had happened again.
"PETE!" Myka yelled as she awoke in a cold sweat and shaking. It took a few moments before she realized where she was. She was surprised to find herself in her bed at the B&B and not in the basement of the St. Louis Police Station. Unable to do anything else Myka pulled her knees up to her chest and cried, fully believing that her dream was true.
"PETE!"
At Myka's scream the rest of the B&B awoke. Sure, occasionally Claudia or Pete have made a racket in the middle of the night, usually because Claudia came up with a brilliant plan or Pete stumbled over something on his way to get his midnight Hoagie, but Myka? Myka only yells when absolutely necessary and it usually has to do with capturing an artifact. Even more than that, Myka sleeps like a rock, she never wakes up in the middle of the night.
Pete jumped out of bed and flung open his bedroom door to find Leena standing in the middle of the hallway staring in the direction of Myka's door. It seemed to Pete that Leena had been standing there even before Myka had yelled. He wanted to ask Leena how she got there so quickly since it was usually he who knew before something strange was about to happen.
"What the frack? What time is it?" Claudia yawned as she opened her door to see what the commotion was.
By now Pete had ran past Leena towards his partner's bedroom door.
"Mykes! What's going on? Open the door!" Pete demanded, ready to kick down the door. "MYKA!"
"Go away!" came a quiet yet scared voice from inside the room.
"Leena what's going on?" Claudia questioned walking cautiously into the hallway.
Whimpering was heard from inside Myka's room and Pete looked at Leena and Claudia with a look of panic. Something had to be very wrong for Myka to be so upset.
After seeing Pete's face, Claudia slid across the hallway on her socks and landed in front of Myka's door.
"She's crying?" choked Claudia. Myka was always the stable one; barely ever showing the slightest bit of negative emotion. With the realization of what was going on, Claudia appeared as if she had seen a ghost.
When neither Claudia nor Leena moved, Pete crashed into Myka's the door not being able to wait another second. Before Pete could recover from his ninja moves, Claudia was already in the room and on Myka's bed.
"Myka? What's going on? Are you ok" Claudia asked as she touched Myka gently on the shoulder. At Claudia's touch, Myka yelped almost shocked to see someone on her bed, never the less someone touching her.
After checking to make sure Pete hadn't broken any bones in his heroic act, Leena came into the room and made her way to the bed. Pete hung back at the doorway unsure of what to do now that he was actually in the room.
"Hey Mykes…" Pete said quietly and made a move towards the bed.
As Myka looked up from her curled position and saw Pete, she turned white as a ghost, jumped out of bed and vomited into the waist basket.
"Um Pete… I think it might be best if you leave" Leena offered as she walked towards Pete who looked utterly crushed. Regardless of how he felt, Pete knew better than to argue in such a situation and went into the hallway as Leena shut the door behind him.
