Chapter 6 - Suspicion in the Lab

I didn't know where I was. There was nothing. Nothing, just darkness and cold. I kept hearing faint noises but I couldn't see anything. It was terrifying. I was lying down on my back but there was no floor. I was lying on nothing. I tried to remember what had happened and struggled, my head seemed really cloudy and trying to make out a clear thought was hard.

Finally I remembered the body. The body of steam and the room without air. So that's where I was. Dead. Fun place to be right! I kept feeling this pull on my chest even though there was nothing there so I tried to ignore it. However the constant repeated pressure on my chest really frustrated me so I just stopped and thought only about the pressure on my chest. I deduced that maybe of I thought about it, it would tell me what it was. Stupid idea right? Well I was dead what did I care. I focused on the pressure and felt this strange pull in my stomach.

I sat up gasping for air, eyes wide open. I was breathing heavily as I looked around me. I saw all of my team mates looking at me with relieved faces and smiles. That pulling feeling must have been the feeling of getting air in my lungs and actually breathing again. I stood up with the help of the paramedic who revived me and nearly got knocked back down. Stella had me in a bone crushing hug

"I thought we were going to lose you and we've not even had enough time to get really acquainted" she told me

"Don't worry I don't plan on going anywhere yet" I said smiling and wincing at the pain in my chest.

"Good to have you back Chloe" Mac said patting my shoulder

"Thanks Mac."

"Yeah for a second there we thought you wouldn't make it" Hawkes told me

"For a second, neither did I. It was really weird cause all there was was darkness. Just darkness." I said taking a seat "I don't ever want to go there again"

"Trust me 10. I'll...we'll make sure that never happens" Danny said clearing this throat after his slip up. I just smiled and nodded

"I think it would be best if you took some sick says off Chloe" Mac instructed me

"What? But I just got here, it's only my first day!" I exclaimed

"Clo, you've just had a traumatic experience. You almost died. You can't just go straight back into work" Flack said

"But I have to find out who did this"

"We didn't find any evidence of someone tampering with the system Chloe" Mac said

"But someone had to have done something. The system would not react that way to steam! Would it Adam" I turned to the man who hadn't said a word since I woke up. If anyone would support me against Mac it would be Adam. He looked like he was in deep thought, probably debating whether to take my side or Mac's

"Well Chloe's right something must have happened, things like that don't just occur in designs like the one we have, but it may not have been anyone here" he said playing it safe by agreeing with everyone

"Chloe at the moment we just don't have enough evidence to even start figuring out what happened" Hawkes said

"I understand." I said "So what can I do to help?" I asked praying not to be sent home. Mac saw the look in my eyes and figured it would be best to keep me here

"You and Danny can package up the evidence on the Crammer case. Someone needs to do it" he said and walked off. Everyone started leaving to go do their jobs

"You did a great job in there Chloe" Sid said to me "If you ever want a job in the morgue, you just say" he said smiling and walked away. I turned to Danny. He hadn't said anything since his slip up earlier. Before I had a chance to say anything he just gave me a hug. We stayed that way for a few minutes, in each others embrace until I pulled away.

"Lets go and package some evidence, what do you say?" I asked him smiling

"Yeah, sounds good to me"

We silently walked to a room a few doors down. The silence was surprisingly not uncomfortable, we just seemed to be okay with each others company. We started packing away evidence when I decided to voice a concern that had been on my mind

"Danny?" he looked up at me from his station "Do you think someone tripped the alarm?"

"To be honest 10, I think it's the only logical explanation, but the fact that it happened in a crime lab means that everyone knows how to cover up any evidence we could have found" he said glumly

"Yeah I know every person in here could get away with murder" I said looking around through the glass walls.

"We're just lucky they didn't today" Danny said smiling at me

"True. But seeing as they didn't succeed today. What's to stop them from trying again. If we don't know who this person is, everyone of us in this crime lab is potentially in mortal danger
