Danny watched as Jim got down to his knees as a scanner from above lowered itself onto the shark.
Jim got up, going to the computer,
"Commencing scan."
"Gen 2 is online transferring exotics to remote terminals. Vital signs to terminal one. Diagnostic imaging to terminal two." Scoggs said from his place at the computer.
Danny watched as Jan was at a computer too. Jim pressed two keyboard buttons and the scanner started lifting up away from the shark's head.
"Alright. We're live and in color."
"BP, 67 over 43. Heart rate, 50 B.P.M. Within norms." Janice said.
Everyone watched as Carter looked at the sharks' gills moving with the water going it. He turned to Susan,
"She's sleeping like a baby."
"Ok." McAlister said, ready to move onto the next step.
The brunette stepped into the water with a computer screen and some type of head thing Danny had no idea what it was. He watched as she slowly started to place it onto the sharks head, but as soon as it hit the surface of the skin…the shark's head went up startling everyone as it went back face first into the water. Computer screens started to alert everyone, and Susan turned back to Carter questioningly,
"Bad dreams?" He said to her, still keeping his eyes on the shark beside him.
Susan looked at him and everyone looked at her as she slowly placed the head gear onto the shark. Danny winced as she turned the knobs and heard the mechanics as the thing went further into the head of the shark. He was grossed out.
"In position." Susan said.
"Vitals are stable." Janice said.
Susan went over to the side table and grabbed a long needle and slowly dug it into the sharks head. Both and Mr. Franklin looked grossed out at the sight. Carter dumped a bucket of water on top of the shark and it began to thrash around. Carter stopped and placed his hands on the great animal. Danny shook his head as he watched Dr. McAlister continue her work, shaking his head,
"This is wrong. This is so wrong." He kept saying under his breath, not noticing the puzzled look Mr. Franklin was giving him.
"Vitals?" Susan's voice rang out throughout the lab.
"Holding." Janice confirmed.
"Aspirating 4.5 ccs." Susan said.
Danny just stared as the brunette took out whatever was inside the shark and gave it to the Jim guy as he then put that stuff into a bottle and she undid what she hooked up to the shark. Danny felt a tightening in his stomach. He knew something bad was going to happen soon. He could feel it getting ready to spring out soon. Mr. Franklin looked at him again weirdly, but Danny shook his head.
Susan stepped out of the water and Jim handed her the vial, making Mr. Franklin stand up. Danny stared where he was as Susan went to a microscope.
"Introducing two cc's of the protein complex into cultured, inactive brain neurons of an Alzheimer's patient."
Danny watched as she turned the knobs on the microscope.
"And what you're looking for here is lightening in a bottle."
Everyone gathered around a computer monitor. After a few moments, Danny got curious and got up, walking up to Janice where he saw the screen blacken. He saw the brain neurons on the screen starting to light up.
"Neurons are becoming hyperosmotic."
The neurons kept showing up, gaining color. Everyone was holding their breath.
"Membrane's integrity's improving." Susan excitement lacing her voice.
And soon the neurons started to fire. Making Susan jump up and down in joy,
"They're firing! They're firing!"
Everyone was smiling, Mr. Franklin looked on in dis-belief, and then Jim and Janice turned and kissed one another, shocking Danny at the sudden display.
"I'll be damned." Mr. Franklin said.
"No sir. For 6.560 seconds you saw what it's like not to be damned." Jim said.

Danny hung back and his mind was going into over drive. His attention turning to the shark still in the water. He stopped as he was head to head with the thing and noticed the eyes. They were dark as expected. But he could feel something else there. Danny shivered at how life-less they were like.
"Hey kid, what's going on?" Scoggs said, noticing his rigid posture. Making everyone Carter, Mr. Franklin and Janice turn.
Danny's went back to Jim who was squatting down not far from the shark. Danny noticed a slight change like the shark was waiting for something.
"You did it, pal. You did it." Just as Danny heard those words, his eyes went wide with fear as the shark moved,
"GET BACK!" Danny screamed at Jim, but it already happened.
The shark went at Jim jaws wide and snapped them shut on his arm. Ripping it off in a single bite. Danny felt himself go numb but he felt his legs move and ran towards Jim.
"NO." Janice's voice rang out. Danny got right to Jim and grabbed onto him as he fell to the ground. Blood staining his shirt. The strappings started to snap; Carter scrambled to get out of the water as the shark started to thrash. Janice, Mr. Franklin, Scoggs and Susan came and surrounded Danny with a bleeding Jim in his arms. Danny was shaking as he felt Jim gasping for breath.
"Kid. Danny." Mr. Franklin's voice rang out. Danny barely paying attention as he kept holding onto Jim.
"Danny." A hand was on his shoulder. Danny snapped out of his traumatized state and saw Mr. Franklin. It was his voice he heard.
"Jim!" Janice's voice rang out.
Danny shook his head in shock, his voice stuttering,
"I-I-I t-t-tried to warn him, I-"
"Danny, we need you to give him to us so we can help him." Mr. Franklin's voice rang out again.
Danny heard,
"Carter, no!" Susan said.
She scrambled and hit a button allowing the shark to go free as Carter was about to shoot it.
"Are you insane?" He screamed.
Susan just looked at him like she had no choice.
Danny finally heard, "Kid, let him go." Scoggs said.
Danny complied and allowed Jim to be taken out of his arms by Janice and stared as she tried stopping the blood flow as Mr. Franklin came with a bag of medical supplies. Danny watched as they lifted Jim into a stretcher and rolled him out of the lab. Danny followed,
"Is there anything I can do?" He asked shakily, trying to stay calm.
"Hold this here." Carter said, signaling the tourniquet to Jim's arm.
Danny put his full weight on the arm, all he was doing was staring at Jim.
"Please be ok. Please be ok." Danny kept saying over and over.
Everyone took notice of Danny's state,
"Kid, what happened back there?" Scoggs asked.
Danny looked up, "What do you mean?"
"Don't say that you were rigid and we're looking at the damn shark like you expected this." His voice in near hysteria.
Everyone looked at Danny and noted how rigid he was and how he screamed at Jim as the shark moved.
"I- I- I knew something was…I didn't know that or what-" Danny said going into a panic attack.
Janice was crying as she kept talking to Jim. Susan out an I.V. into his arm.
"Got it. Damn he's hemorrhaging!"
Everyone was working to get Jim ready. Danny could only stay at his post of keeping the bleeding stub stable. He felt like he was going to throw up.
"I'm sorry. I tried." Danny said on the verge of crying to Jim. Jim opened his eyes for a brief moment and turned slightly to Danny. Danny looked at the man with tears in his eyes, berating himself that he didn't warn him faster. Jim's eyes telling the teen it was ok, he did his best. Carter noted the silent conversation between the two and raised an eyebrow. What the hell was that about?
"I'm not this kind of doctor." Susan said as everyone got Jim out of the elevator.
"Just keep doing what you're doing." Mr. Franklin said.
The doors opened and everyone stared at the storm outside. They saw the helicopter approaching as they rolled Jim outside in the pouring rain and hard wind. The ocean swells crashed all over the catwalks. Carter walked out,
"Franklin, this end."
The billionaire moved out and there he saw the blinding lights of the helicopter coming. An airmask was fitted on Franklin and Susan, Scoggs, Danny, and Janice rolled him out onto the catwalk. Everyone got hit by a wave but they got to Carter and secured Jim to the line. The copter started raising him up. As everyone started to run back to the elevator, and a rogue swell hit them. It sent everybody into the crates nearby. Janice screamed, Danny felt his back connect to the crates hard, seeing stars. He felt arms lift up and help him stand and run back to the elevator. As soon as they reached inside, everyone ran back to the laboratory. Scoggs rushed to the computer, but nothing but static showed up.
"Damn. I can't get a picture." He said.
"No." Janice moaned.
"Tower, have you got a visual? Copy." Carter said.
Danny watched as the brown haired man tried to bring up a picture. He felt himself ready to retch as his fears had been confirmed. Something worse was going to happen now. He knew it.
"Got it." Scoggs said.
Danny and everyone watched as they saw the helicopter on the screen, and then it happened. The impact was massive as everything in the lab shook violently. Sparks of electricity went off as the entire facility shook. Janice went into the water and so did Danny. Danny felt the cold water hit him like a hammer. He opened his eyes and saw Janice looking dazed. He swam forward and pulled her up. Both of their heads broke the water as pieces of the structure fell into the water and around them. Carter jumped and helped both Danny and Janice out of the water. Danny could hear the explosions ring throughout the building and avoided nearly getting hit in the head by falling debris. Carter helped him up as he staggered to the ground. Danny breathed out hard, finally losing the contents of his stomach. Vomit spread all over the floor alerting every one of the throwing up teen. Susan was right beside him, pulling him off the ground and grabbing a bucket next to her. Danny emptied the rest of his stomach into the bucket, coughing and then hacking.
"You ok?" Susan asked him.
Danny turned to her, wide eyed and frightened. Numbly nodding.
Everyone still felt the rumbling, Scoggs getting back up checking the monitors.
"Where is he now?" Janice asked, "Where is he?" She asked again.
"It's shut down. The whole system is shut down." Scoggs said in frustration.
"Brenda? Are you there?" Carter tried the radio.

Danny tuned everybody out as he looked up at the window and saw something coming right at them. Danny nudged Mr. Franklin,
"What?" He asked Danny who looked scared,
Danny just pointed to the window and Franklin looked up. His face going still.
"Somebody tell me what the boy is looking at here? Please." Mr. Franklin said.
Everybody stopped what they were doing and stared at the object that was coming at them. As it got closer everyone paled to see it was Jim in the mouth of the Gen 2. The shark had Jim, in the stretcher, clutched in its jaws. The shark swam towards them faster and let go Jim as the shark threw him at the window. Jim hit the window and it cracked with a loud bang. Spider web cracks formed and began to spread. Danny could only stare at horror as Jim was strapped and unable to do anything. He wished he could go ghost right now, but whatever he felt wasn't working. Danny started to curse for being so helpless and then a small piece of glass ricocheted out of the window and slid across the tile floor and into the water. Mr. Franklin seemed to have gotten the hint because he started taking action.
"Aright people, let's move. Now. Head for the door."
Everyone started to move away from the glass, Danny felt Carter grab his hand and he followed. In a few seconds a loud explosion happened, and the glass window was gone, tons of ocean starting to fill the room. Danny felt the water go under his feet and Carter who had almost went sliding into the kid, sending both of them into the water filling up nearby. Danny felt himself being tossed and turned like he was in a washing machine on high speed. A hand grabbed the neck of his shirt and felt himself dragged out through the water.
"Carter!"
"Kid!"
Many shouting's were heard as Carter and Danny struggled to get up and help everyone open the hatch.
"Open it!"
"Ahh!"
Finally, they opened the hatch, and everyone fell on top of each other as the water started spraying out. Everyone threw their body against the door, Carter and Scoggs turning it.
"Turn it! Turn it!" The door closed and some droplets of water managed to slip through the cracks of the metal door.
"NO!" Janice cried.
Everyone trying to catch their breath after the traumatic event. Danny sagged against the door, his tongue partially hanging out from lack of air. Carter turned to Danny and knelt down beside him,
"Kid? Kid?"
Danny looked up at Carter,
"You ok?"
Danny shook his head, "Really? You're asking me that?" Danny panted out.
Carter helped him up to his feet, Scoggs walked up to him,
"What the hell was that about?"
"What was what about?"
"He knew!" He accused pointing to Danny, "You knew about the shark! He was getting all freaked out right when Jim's arm was bite off." The man said on near hysteria, looking at Danny like he was crazy. Everyone turned to look at him. Danny just wanted to crawl into a hole and be left alone.
"Enough Scoggs." Carter said, "He saw Jim get bit off and tried helping him. Right now we got bigger problems to worry about here."
"He's right, come on." Mr. Franklin, taking the lead.
Scoggs looked at Danny skeptically and scared before he followed everyone else, leaving Danny behind everyone as they went off into the hallway.
