Her eyes fluttered open slightly and an audible groan escaped her lips. Her head lolled to the left and she saw the stream of light flowing through the door. She flinched as the door opened wider and hit her eyes full on.
She heard footsteps come closer and closer and she attempted to concentrate on them, figure out who it was. She couldn't. "Who..." she began, but her question was cut off in the middle.
"Good evening Dr. Switzer," a calm and collected voice said from just above her. She turned her head upwards and attempted to focus on his face, but she couldn't "I'm glad you've finally awakened. It is time for your injection," he flicked a needle and Kate's eyes grew at the sight of it. The gleam of the needle was one thing that she couldn't miss.
"Please... don't..." Kate begged, attempting to raise her hands to cover her neck. It was no use; her arms were strapped down to a table roughly.
"Dr. Switzer, please do not struggle, it will only make it more painful," he lowered the needle to Kate's pulsing vein in the inside crevice of her elbow. Kate opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out. The venom was injected.

"Has anybody seen Kate?" Nigel asked, stepping into trace for a moment. Jordan glanced up from her computer.
"No, I'm sorry Nige, I haven't. She never came in this morning," Jordan admitted, shrugging slightly.
Nigel's brow furrowed. "She said she was," he said, mostly to himself.
"She never did. Did you try her cell?" Jordan suggested, her dark, secretive eyes flickered up from the computer once more, meeting the worried eyes of her British friend.
"Yes, I did, and her home phone. She didn't answer, Jordan," Nigel sounded extremely worried about Kate. Jordan pursed her lips and rose up off the chair, gracefully.
"Alright then let's go find her," she proposed. "Where do you think we should..." her phone cut her off in its regular, simple ring.
"Cavanaugh."
"J-Jordan? Jordan it's Kate, please... please I'm so scared..." Kate's voice was uncharacteristically terrified. Her begging words were also outlandish for this strong woman. "Please Jordan; please come help me... please hurry... p-please... I don't know where I am... wait, I'm in a warehouse I think... water outside... is that a bus?" Kate's shocked voice whispered from the other end of the phone line. "That's a bus I think... it's near a bus stop, Jordan please, hurry! I have to go or he'll find me, please come find me!" Kate hung up without another word.
Jordan turned to see Nigel. "We've got to hurry."

Kate hung up the phone and quickly slid it down her shirt, tucking it in her bra so that her captor would not find it. She rested her head against the freezing cement of the new room that he had brought her to. This room smelled of death, and it terrified her.
This must be the room where he brings them to die, Kate's thoughts were pulled immediately to that, even though she didn't want them to be. She urged herself to think of happier things, think of how Jordan and Nigel and Woody and Garret would soon find her and arrest the terrible man that did that, how she would be able to see Binky again soon and how she would be able to feed him this gross man's kidney for a treat. She chuckled at that.
Kate's mind began to jog to how long it had been. Ten, maybe fifteen minutes? That meant she had maybe fifteen minutes, twenty at most. No, I can't think about that...
She closed her eyes and allowed herself to think about the happy things.

When they arrived at the warehouses, Nigel was the first to leap from the car. He ran along and searched for the correct one. "How the hell are we supposed to figure this out?!" he snapped angrily. "Which one is it...?"
Jordan saw the warehouse. It was directly beside the water. "There!" she shouted and in a moment, Woody, Nigel, Garret, Bug and many other police officers were with her. She watched impatiently as the police stormed the warehouse and she ran in when the yelled that they had found her. She and Nigel were the first two to arrive down at the room where Kate was.
Nigel was at Kate's side in a second; he gently lifted her head off the frozen cement and rested it in his lap. "Kate? Kate please, wake up," he begged, rocking her head gently. He felt the cold steel tip of a knife wrap around his neck and he tensed.
"I'm surprised they didn't see me," the man cackled, watching the faces of all the police officers and ME's drop. He tightened the knife against Nigel's neck and a thing bead of blood dripped down the corner of his collar.
Nigel was holding his breath. He glanced up from the corner of his eye and saw the man. He knitted his brow in frustration. Why was this man so worried about murdering people who rode the bus? It was a very good mode of transportation, no reason to murder people.
"Kate really is a wonderful woman, frustrating, yes, annoying, yes, bossy, yes. It's really too bad that she couldn't keep me around, isn't it? She couldn't deal with me wanting to have sex with another woman. Any reasonable person would agree that that was okay," he sounded as if it were something that should be reasonable. Jordan took a step forward, wanting to rip this man's throat out.
Again, his grip tightened on the dagger which was digging deeper into Nigel's throat. "Ah, ah, ah, please Dr. Cavanaugh, do you really want to be the cause for your friend's death? Now, if you will just let me leave, I will let him live..." BANG.
Jordan twirled about in a flurry and saw Woody suddenly standing there with his firearm raised. She spun back to Nigel and Kate and watched as the man, Kate's ex, fell to the ground, dragging the knife along with him. Blood seeped through the injury on his neck and ran down to the collar of his white shirt.
Kate's eyes flickered behind her eyelids for a moment, but the lids stayed shut.
"Nigel, we need to get her to the hospital," Jordan urged, noting the puncture hole from the needle in Kate's neck. She clasped his shoulder in her hand comfortingly and he gently rested Kate's head back down on the ground before standing up. He bent down and lifted Kate off the ground, bridle style. He carried her outside while Jordan called an emergency ambulance to the scene with anti-venom for a green mamba. From the sound of Jordan's frustration, the hospital didn't believe that it was actually a green mamba.
"Yes I'm sure it's a mamba! Now get your ass over here before this woman dies and it's on your hand... Yes I know that's a rare snake... Well you've got to have something... well then go look!" she slammed the phone down and made her way back over to Nigel, Kate, Woody, Garret and Bug. "They're on their way," she whispered, taking Kate's right hand while Nigel held her left. "How are you feeling?" she asked Nigel gently, nodding towards his neck. He raised his free hand to touch the still moist blood.
"Oh..." he murmured, shrugging his shoulders slightly. "Better than Kate is," he turned his attention back to the woman whose hand he was holding. "Jordan what if they don't get here in time?"
"Nigel you can't think that," Garret answered first. "They're going to get here in time, there's no reason to worry."
Nigel couldn't respond. He could only watch Kate's closed eyes shift left and right in unconscious restlessness.
