Minute by Second

By: Vanessa Sgroi

Worry.

It seems like that's all I can do is worry. And pray. I'm not very good at it, but somehow you always know exactly how when you need to.

Hutch is lying in that hospital bed dying minute by second from some stupid virus. Fighting for every damned breath.

And I . . . I . . . all I'm doing is chasing a lousy ghost!

If . . . if Calender doesn't turn up . . . then . . .

NO! No, I will find him. He's out there somewhere, damn it.

Failure is not an option.
