Disclamer: I do not own these characters, just the memories of watching them as a child.
Hartleigh fell to the floor coverd in blood. William stood up and pulled the knife out of her chest. She didn't
wake up. Her heart completly stopped. William wasn't worried, having dealt with this before. Skinner on the
other hand, was freaking out. He thought he had a dead girl lying on his office floor. He checked for a pulse
and after finding that there wasn't one, he proceded to call 911.
'Mr. Skinner sir, I assure you that she isn't dead. It takes time for her body to recover. I promise you that
she will wake up. It's only a matter of time.' William picked up Hartleigh and laid her lifeless body on the couch.
'Time? Time? We don't have time! How am I to explain a seemingly dead girl in my office? How are we to
carry her out of here with out causing some form of commotion? People will talk and it's not good when
people talk around here. That's how bad rumors get started.' Skinner was appaled at the boys actions.
He seemed not too worried about the circumstance at hand.
Agent Reyes sat sitting in her chair just watching the whole scene take place. She acted the same way
only a few days before when Hartleigh did the same demonstration for her.
'Sir, I've seen this act before you. It wont take but a couple of days for her to wake up. Like William said,
it's not a big deal. Her body doesn't decompose, it simply just regenrates itself.' Skinner looked to Agent Reyes
who had a look of seriousness on her face. He could tell she was telling the truth, but what if she doesn't wake
up this time? What if, what if, what if, is all his mind could think about. He simply didn't know what to do, so he
followed his instincts.
'Hello operator? I need paramedics to the Hoover Building ASAP.'
XXXXXX
The ambulance carried away Hartleigh to the city morgue located in the hospital. William was beyond angry at Skinner.
How would William explain Hartleigh just out of the blue coming back to life days after she was pronounced dead? He
was still worried about telling there adopted parents. They knew about Hartleigh's gift, but the last time he or Hartleigh
talked to them, it was when they were having a huge fight that ended with Hartleigh and William running away. William
was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to explain this circumstance to people who didn't believe in the paranormal.
'Oh hello sir. Just to let you know, my sister isn't dead. She can't die so her body regenerates itself so she'll be waking up
in a couple of days. But don't worry, she'll be just fine.' Yeah, that conversation would go over well, with him ending up
being put into the mental hospital.
He arrived at the hospital and the same time his adoptive parents did. To people who didn't know better, Jonah and Tarra
Taylor seemed like a rather intimidating couple, but in truth, they were they sweetest people. Their first big fight with Hartleigh
and William was the fight that caused them to run away. They waited for William at the hospital to explain what was going on.
'William Fox Taylor! I'm so glad you're okay! Don't ever do that to us again! Where's Hartleigh?' Tarra squeezed her adopted
son tightly. It's been weeks since she's seen him.
William explained everything that took place the last couple of weeks that him and Hartleigh were gone. He explained how they
wanted to meet their real parents and how they found out that they worked previously for the FBI. He told them how they found
out about Agent Reyes and went to find her to talk to her about their parents and how Hartleigh demonstrated her 'talent' and is
now lying in the hospital morgue, presumably dead.
Tarra and Jonah didn't know what to say. As children, Hartleigh and William never seemed to express an interest in their real/
parents, well atleast if there was an interest, they didn't know about it. Hartleigh and William knew from the get go that they
were adopted. It wasn't because of the fact that they looked nothing like Jonah or Tarra, it was that Hartleigh and William
felt like at first, they didn't belong.
