Chapter 7: Unpected Information, Medical Advice and the First Loss

As I thought it over I realized it had been barely two days in and already our bond was pretty strong, I wasn't sure yet, but if her father had anything to do with this and was also the reason for that attempt I was going to take him apart for taking off on her and her mother, it was obvious to me she needed a paternal figure in her life and if she needed me I was going to take that spot and help her heal from whatever he had done to land her in here before she was released.

I also knew if she was growing that attached to me it had to do with him, and I knew Max thought the same way as he to decided to deal with helping her heal from all of this, but between me, him, her gang who, from the looks of it, were probably her brothers and sisters and Nancy she was going to be healed within three months and if I could get those dreams suppressed it was going to take less then a month and a half for her to completely heal from whatever landed her in the hospital to begin with, and whatever it was going to get it big time as I took care in helping her heal up.

After spending some time with her that night, I was getting ready to head out and found Max waiting for me so we could talk and knew he was waiting to hear on what went on in there as I spent some time with our youngest as he smiled and asked about it, since when it came to the kids he acted like a father and was taking care of them when I was gone for the night since he was on duty all the time and dealt with them in case things started getting out of hand in the ward, which on occasion it did, but now things were beginning ease in the group's frustration and it was getting better.

Though we all shared the same thought, we were all hoping it would break the ice finally that night as things were beginning to settle down and we were waiting for it to give and hoped things didn't start getting worse, because if it did, she was going to have a relapse and we weren't risking that or her having that panic attack that would trigger it to that point, and I was going to make sure it didn't, but didn't know what the real reason for Kincaid's outbursts were till he told me the truth of that before we separated for the night that night as I walked over to him as he stood at the front desk talking to Walter.

"I take she's got it bad here?" he asked and I nodded as I tried to keep from smiling as I answered that one. "Yes, and she's just as bad as Jennifer is, it took barely ten minutes to get her to cave when I did most of the sensitive ones and she broke completely when I hit her weak spot." I said and he nodded as he started laughing at that as I gave him the next bit of instructions for the kids that night.

"The kids are going to keep this up till lights out, so if they want to fool around just let them go at it, and if another food fight starts make sure Simms stays out of the cafeteria." I said and he nodded with a smile as he gave me a playful smile and I knew what he was asking next. "You two going out tonight?" he asked and I nodded with a smile as I thought of my date with Nancy, and I was looking forward to it, our relationship was falling into place and I could feel something in me changing when I was around her.

"Yeah, I was going to take her out to dinner, I'm not sure what it is, but there is something about her that calls to me and if this keeps up I know things are going to get more complicated and if it's going in the direction I think it is, I think I just found my other half here." I said and he nodded with a smile at that as he asked the next one and I knew if the bond with the kids and her and Nancy was what I thought the eight of them found each other again finally and it was really going to speed up the healing process for Kristen as well as the rest of the kids and they would be healed within a few months.

"How deep is that bond between her and Kristen anyway?" he asked and I went into that one. "I think our theory on them is right, because with the way they are together she acts like an older sister to her and it's reached the point to where she now has healed up whatever damage her father put on her and if it keeps up she'll be healed within three months and if we figure out what the hell is causing those dreams and suppress them that takes care of the entire problem." I said and he nodded as he gave a sigh and whatever he had to tell me was serious and if it had to do with how to deal with what was going on I needed that information before things got worse there.

"We've got another problem here, the kids bond is going in that same direction, because they are halfway healed here, and if that keeps up, they're going to be healed within the same span as she is, if Simms doesn't do anything to screw it up at this point, and I think she is the one who is now causing the damage at this point if Kincaid can't keep his temper when he's around her and at this point the dose she keeps putting into him is twenty cc's of Diazepam and that is getting more and more dangerous."

"In their case it's dangerous enough, I mean the limit for a teenager is 10.5 cc's be it boy or girl and that amount could kill him out of an overdose." he said and I nodded in shocked disbelief and anger at that information, the amount I normally gave in the case of a severe panic attack was barely 11 cc's, and that amount was safe, the amount she was dosing the kids with could kill them and I had to put an end to it before it did and their parents were going to kill both her and Carver when they heard this information, because he was the one who put her in charge of the ward.

"What else is she doing, because if this keeps up I'm calling Jenkins and Adams down here and we're calling an medical/psychiatric council meeting and I'm having her arrested for malpractice and child abuse, because this is illegal?" I asked and he took a deep breath and I knew whatever he said next I wasn't going to like whatsoever either.

"The time limit in the quiet room is supposed to be twenty to thirty minutes and she's now got it at ninety minutes and that is the reason he keeps losing his temper with her, she's been pushing back the date of their release to go home and making up excuses as well as doing whatever she could to make him angry enough to lose control to throw him and the others in there and frankly the guys and I are getting sick of it." he said and I nodded angrily as I answered him at that.

"Nancy said her father is a cop and if their parents hear this they're going to skewer her and if this keeps up I'm calling them down here to deal with this so we can get her out of control of the ward, because if something happens I know she's going to ignore the fact that Kristen is barely three days post E.R. status and if she has a relapse it could drain what's left of her energy and put her back in the infirmary and if whatever is causing those dreams causes her to lose it-its going to take close to an hour to calm her down."

"Especially if she brings up the sedatives in front of her and I'm not chancing a repeat of what happened in the examination room if that does happen here, so we have to head it off no matter what here." I said and he nodded in agreement to that statement as I tried to work through what I just heard. "How longs this been going on for, because Thompson is going to consider this completely illegal, and if for whatever reason they're still not releasing them yet it's turning into a hostage situation and I'm finding out what it is." I said and he nodded as he answered me.

"For whatever reason they're holding them here has to do with the fact that the girls are scared of Lorenzo for some reason, every time he comes into the ward, the quartet had the trio surrounded like they were protecting them from him, for some reason they're not telling me yet, they act like he's a parasite and a threat to them."

"As if that's not enough, every time I got ready to double check and see why she had me placed on another item, and the kids are beyond irritated they haven't heard from their parents at all in the last four months. Which happens to be the time frame for both items I just told you now, whatever position Elaine holds in the town government oughta be enough, but I hope her memory comes back, maybe that can answer the questions I have where the sextet are concerned when it comes to Lorenzo." he said and I nodded.

"Whatever reason for this has to be illegal here, because we've got four girls, not including Nancy herself, here in the group right now, two are the daughters of a couple of cops, Kristen is the jury leader and if Caulfield has any connection to this as well, it means if this keeps up the cops are getting called in to deal with it, but if anything goes wrong tonight I want to know about it first thing tomorrow morning, okay, because I'm putting an end to it." I said and he nodded to that as we separated then.

'Broken orders, illegal dosing, illegal time out jack ups, keeping the patients from hearing from their parents, missing medication bottles, what the hell is going on here, what are you doing Simms, alright if you finally go too far you're getting one warning and you still keep it up I'm calling her father here and you're getting arrested.' I thought with a growl.

As that thought shot through me I thought over the dream deprivation if it was the only option to give my patients the chance to get the rest they needed. 'God I lose three patients, because I wasn't able to get it then, with Nancy here I'm able to, I'm not losing another patient, but they've got my arm twisted behind my back, why though? Simms I swear if this has to do with Lorenzo, you and Carver are screwed here.' I thought sternly as I went to meet up with Nancy and pick her up then.

Now normal use of dream suppressants wasn't normally used at the time, but with the fact that there were several deaths and the fact that my patients were determined to keep from sleeping it was now the only option to keep them alive and, as I learned from Nancy, end the nightmares altogether. As to why I found out that the very boogeyman I once thought was a delusion was a homicidal maniac turned dream demon, and my patients were going to drastic measures to keep from sleeping, because of it.

Though it took two more days for me to get that and by that time two of my patients were gone and I had my youngest who was in so much pain the suppressants were the only option to keep her alive and with the six of us together as a group, since she was going to be in no condition for what was coming after things had finally reached the breaking point in the ward that weekend, before I met the adult versions of my patients.

Though I didn't know what I was dealing with the man my patients were afraid of till the night I was going to have to deal with the lunatic, who was determined to not only kill my mate, but my patients and father-in-law in the process, but at this point I didn't know the reason for why she wanted them on it till a few days later and I was going to do whatever it took to protect them, as I went into that with her that night.

Though the first portion of our conversation was about her parents and I learned what happened to her mother, who had died in her sleep, and her father she hadn't seen in five years for some reason, though whatever caused that it had to do with what killed her friends and I was going to find out what later on as she got ready to bring up the matter of the Hypnocil to me there.

At the time that part of my thoughts on what was really going on hadn't come into effect yet, but it would later on that night while I was spending it with Nancy, after two days spent together, I decided to ask her out, I wasn't sure yet, but I could feel something growing in me when I was with her, but that wasn't the only thing I was feeling either, I was also beginning to get worried with the changes that were coming with my new arrival and my co-hort.

Her concern for my patients had grown strong and she was now trying to protect them and offered some advice that had me a bit concerned at the time. The reason being after our talk about her family she brought up the issue of putting them on Hypnocil, which I wasn't sure about yet, but that was going to change with what was about to happen next, the conversation started out normally till she brought up what she was thinking, and the way she was acting had me a bit concerned when she did it too.

Whatever reason for the small talk, I knew was a cover at the time as she commented on the restaurant I took her to that night, before I asked about her parents. "Do your parents still live around here?" I asked and she sighed. "My mother passed away, she uh, died in her sleep." she said and I nodded gently to that one. " I'm sorry." I said and she went further. "My father and I, well things kind of fell apart after that." she said and I nodded. "Sounds like a rough time." I said and she nodded. "It was." she said and then she took a deep breath, as whatever she had to say next started worrying me then.

"Neil, what if I told you that your patients are in real physical danger in their dreams." she said to me and I was wondering about why she would say that till I remembered what happened the day before. "The nightmares are a symptom of the real problems." I said trying to hold back the uneasiness that was trying to flare up in me at that what she just said. "Alright then let's just eliminate the symptom for the time being." she said and I started realizing where she was going with this conversation after seeing the pill bottle that had fallen out of her bag the day before.

"With Hypnocil?" I asked and she nodded. "That's right." she said and I started getting concerned over this. "You want me to prescribe an experimental psycho-active drug to a bunch of suicidal teenagers?" I asked with a tone of concern in my voice. "Just until we get things under control." she said and I stepped on that one, after seeing the panic attack my latest one had the day before I wasn't taking chances with this.

"Dream deprivation is nothing to fool around with and you have no business taking it yourself." I said and she had a flare of anger in her eyes at that. "I used to be like them Neil, and I know what they're going through." she said firmly and at the time I wasn't sure what she meant by that, till it became clear to me a couple days later. "So do I." I said and she started pushing at me on this.

"You told me they were survivors, and they are, but how much longer they survive is up to us." she said and I took a deep breath at that as I answered her statement. "Well I'm sorry Nancy, but the answer is no." I said and that ended the argument. If I had been thinking more quickly on what the hell was going on at the time I would have done it automatically, but with the fact that my hands were being held behind my back with what Elizabeth was doing and the fact I was being blackmailed to keep from doing my job as I thought it over then gently as I looked at her staring at the table.

'God Nancy I want to, but it's a choice of staying with the kids and keeping my job or getting terminated for doing to right thing and I'm finished in our line of work, whatever your father does, I need his help, I want to tell you, but I can't, get me out of this.' I thought as I sat there as I changed the subject with her then.

I didn't want to risk losing my job, because they were breaking the rules and I'd have to leave the kids, and my latest one had my concern growing with what was going on both today and the day before, and I had to see what was going to happen before I made that final decision. My latest one needed me the most now and I wasn't leaving her, so I was trapped in following the duo's orders of no dream deprivation or I was finished in the ward. 'If I just had some dirt on them that's enough to get me out, but two wrongs don't make a right, I need some piece of information strong enough to get their parents involved. Some way to get her father, and their parents involved, so I could tell them what they were doing to me there, before it killed my kids.' I added sadly to myself.

That teenage girl's condition was what had me worried and I knew if she had any more all nighters, her condition was going to get worse and if that happened she was going to have a relapse and I wasn't going to chance that and it finally hit me this was the other reason for her suggestion to get it into the ward before we lost someone else in our group. But little did I know that the first of my patients was going to be taken from me as the nightmare in the ward began and I dealt with what was coming.

As that memory ended he remembered what Nancy had told him about the truth and the reason for why his patients were all dreaming about this lunatic and felt a jolt of anger run through when he found out the truth and her connection to the kids and this guy as well as how close he came to losing all four of them that night.

The First Loss and the Near Panic Attack: Neil's POV

Things had been fine for the first night and half and than it started falling apart, right after I got there I got the news Philip was dead and the kids were up all night, I knew that if anything their bond had reached the point to where losing one of them had done a lot of emotional damage and now I had to deal with getting them to let it out.

After getting into the ward that morning I saw the concerned look on Max's face then as he walked over to me, as I noticed things were completely quiet, I didn't hear any noise and no laughter. "What happened last night, it's extremely quiet?" I asked and he sighed as he answered me. "We had an accident last night, Philip is gone." he said and I leaned against the desk then. "What happened?" I asked and he explained that to me.

"He managed to get out of the ward somehow and jumped off the bell tower, I don't know if it was a sleepwalking accident or not, but the kids were up all night, and they haven't separated at all." he said and I nodded to to that. Hearing those words I knew my patients were holding in their grief and my latest was about to start crashing in her condition, I had to get them to open up that morning, before one of them exploded.

As I looked at them in the session I could that Kristen looked like she was about to start crying and Kincaid looked like he was on the verge of a panic attack, while the others were having a hard time staying awake while I tried to get them to open up. "I want us to talk about what happened last night, I want us all to get our feelings out in the open." I said gently and this caused an argument between Kincaid and Taryn and before I could say anything Kristen did it for me and ended it as Kincaid started getting edgy then.

"He wasn't strong enough, so he got wasted that's all." he said and Taryn looked at him. "That's all, is that what you think?" she asked and he nodded. "He couldn't hack it, so he got nailed, period." he said and she went into that. "Aw yeah big tough bad ass, how long are you going to last with that attitude?" she asked and he went at her. "I'm going to last longer than any of you." he said and before that went any further Kristen ended it before things started getting worse between the six of them as she answered his remark.

"Just go ahead and fight guys, because that's what he wants." she said to them and it killed the argument automatically. "Who?" Will asked her and Jennifer looked at him. "Who do you think, what does he want?" she asked Kristen and I could see it in her eyes that she was determined to keep the other members of the group or their gang in one piece, I could also see she was trying to keep from breaking down in front of me.

"By turning us against each other so we'll be weak, easy prey, and if that happens we're all dead." she said to them as Joey looked at her. "We've only just got our bond into place and now he's trying to drive us apart, we can't let that happen, we need to end those fights now." she said, answering whatever he asked her then and they nodded as the debate started getting worse. "Oh come on that's horse shit." he said and Nancy ended that, her tone turning into that of a big sister then as she said it.

"No she's right, arguing damages the bonds, you need to end those fights now." she said and before the kids could get into another fight Simms started making it worse. "I think we're all missing the point here, Philip's death was a sleepwalking accident, nothing more." she said and Will shook his head at that his eyes haunted as he said it. "No I could see his face, he was wide awake all the way down." he said and Kristen took it from there. "He was acting like he was forced to move around up there like someone was directing his actions, that was no sleepwalking accident." she said and I went into that.

"Well then it was suicide, Philip quit, he gave up." I said and Joey shook his head at that as Jennifer went into what he was trying to say. "Joey said it wasn't suicide." she said and I had to end it there before it got worse. "Listen to me guys, Philip killed himself, now that is a cowardly thing, an empty thing, he let himself down, he let all of us down." I said and that made things even worse as it kept up.

As Taryn went off on me next at that statement, I knew this was going to get worse as I saw the look on Kristen's face at that. "It was murder, can't you understand that, that bastard murdered him!" she snapped as her emotional pain started taking over and I could see the same look in Kristen's eyes as she lost her temper as well as she looked at us and at that point I didn't want to lose her trust after I had just gained it as she started on her statement as she looked at Simms with a look of fury on her face.

"He would never have done that, the bastard killed him and this is not a suicide, it's murder, I don't care what you say, he would never have killed himself, he was just as determined to stay alive as we are. Our brother is dead and that bastard killed him, and we're not losing another member of our gang because of this or that bastard."

"This is not about personal problems, this is about our past and whatever this bastard has against us, it has to do with that model I built and our dreams are connected. Philip was killed last night, and it wasn't a suicide attempt or a sleep-walking accident, you probably already figured out our bonds, but with one of our gang dead, it just did more damage to everyone in this room and it's making things worse, we've had two peaceful nights and now he is trying to do the damage here and trying to drive a wedge between us and if this keeps up it could get us all killed here."

"The reason we made it this long is because we woke up in time to head it off, and we were never cut off from each other, our bonds are more than that of friends at this point, we just lost our brother, and at this point we're not losing another member of our gang, because we lost three people from group in the last two and a half month and it's getting out of control and enough is enough, because we're not losing anyone else and these arguments are making things even worse, because it's not helping things in our case or mine and none of us need this right now."

"That model I built is a piece of the puzzle and whatever that puzzle is has to do with these nightmares that we're having and it cost our brother his life and the arguments are making things worse, the kids that lived on that street were killed because of that and so were the kids who were here before I got here, and now our brother is gone. These theories are nothing, but a waste of time, try looking at the indicators here, every supposed suicide, as well as we, all share them, five factors for every every victim here."

"Every indicator is another clue, including that song, but whatever reason he has for targeting us is serious and we've lost sixty five teenagers in the last six years alone here, because of it, on top of two adults, it's not suicide, we're getting annihilated for some reason and for some reason four members of the same block are dead, twelve others at the pool party and the fifty five others along with them."

"In total we've got seventy six people dead, seventy four are teenagers, three happen to be from our original block, while the other seven one moved here in the last five years and two adults, but it all comes back to the same thing here, it points to the exact same block, my predecessor and your former patients also suffered from nightmares, before they to decided enough was enough till they couldn't take it anymore."

"The house was looking kept up for five years, before the Walsh family moved out of it and then it turns into a wreck, every victim is sharing the exact same nightmares, and those nightmares suddenly kill two adults, one being the mother of the surviving member of the first outbreak, and our old P.E. teacher, while the trio were killed, simply because they lived on that block, think it over here now."

"Does that seem strange, that first trio were connected to us, so were the kids who I replaced and now we lose our brother, that house and street point to a piece of the puzzle we have no memory of and enough of the personal problems crap, because it's not helping and neither are the arguments especially in my case and we don't need this right now either, and we're not going to be separated because of a misdirected statement, especially when it's due to fear right now."

"In fact, this entire situation points to that street and house, three kids no older than we are, Nancy's quartet, wind up dead, my predecessor obviously lived on that block as well as he also tried to keep himself awake after nearly being killed, and now we lose our brother and are in the middle of it, because this is all part of a past we have no memory of and it all points to the fact that whoever this bastard is, he's connected to that past and is now taking us out, because of whatever secret our parents are keeping from us, and to repeat that this is not about personal problems, but our past and whatever this is, has to do with that model I built and it all points to that house and street."

"The bastard is maniac and did you ever wonder why the girls and I are determined not to sleep, it's because he'll do more than kill in our case and we're trying to protect ourselves, and to repeat that last statement, we stay awake and we live and we sleep we're dead, and those damn sedatives put us at risk and if you would just open your mind up you would see that."

"The kid whose place I took obviously dealt with this bastard as well, and for some reason he is after us, and to repeat that previous statement, enough of the personal problems crap, because this issue of blaming the damn alibies is getting out of control, we stay awake and we live and if we sleep, we're dead, and somehow the bastard set it up so this would happen and that is what happened to Philip last night and now a member of our gang is gone, and you're trying to turn this into something it's not!" Kristen added on to Taryn's statement with an icy look and I saw a few tears come into her eyes at that and got a better look at her complexion.

Since I knew she had been up all night, and knew she was beyond exhausted at this point as she looked at Simms who had a stern look on her face as she looked at the girls, and I knew she had reached the point to where she was going to do things her way and not bother to listen to the kids anymore, but I was and I was going to do whatever I could to take care of them and make sure whatever or whoever was doing this was finished with before I got them released over the next few months, because this was getting worse by the minute and I wasn't putting up with it now.

As I got a better look at her, I could tell she was about to break down right there and I was now beyond pissed at whatever or whoever did this to cause my youngest to start having a dive in her recovery and things were about to get worse, because my counter-part was about to make things worse in the case of my youngest and about to show a side I had never seen before in her here.

Before she could say it though, Kristen added on to her previous statement. "We just got all the proof that was needed last night as well, we were raised together, and that means Nancy as well, and now just when we were getting used to that fact, we lose our brother, I don't give a damn what your thoughts are on this, we don't need this right now, that trio are my big brothers and sisters and I don't need this right now!" she snapped as Taryn rubbed her shoulder to calm her down and I could tell this was about to get worse at that information, as Simms tone turned icy as she looked at the kids than.

"Nancy, get your father and our parents, full family reunion, we need you guys, because whatever reason 'he' is after us, I need to see your fathers, two words here, total recall, we just found each other last night." she said and her eyes widened at that. "Dad, Elaine, James and Jared, Jack and Rob. Is anything else coming back up?" she asked and I watched as Simms eyes narrowed in concern. " Not in that way if you mean Adam Rodriguez, no not yet. But your faces, yes, just with the added eleven years now." she said and Nancy nodded to her as Simms eyes relaxed in what looked like relief.

"We have to get out of here, or just be put on a dream blocking medication, I mean I'm just naming it off now Simms: too much caffeine and sugar, the products that have it, beyond exhausted, never wanting to hear the words sleep and sedative and both in the same sentence, fast tempers, not cot coming out and saying what's on our minds. But to only a fellow patient, only our peers could understand, never wanting to be alone."

"Singing songs from play we stopped doing by the time we're eleven, the jump rope song, we created it after the local legend was created, the house itself is a damn clue, nicely kept up for five years till Jesse and his family moved out and suddenly it turns into a haunted house and finally every murder is pinpointed back to the damn source. That source is located to the exact same fucking block!" she snapped at her with a cold look.

"As if that's not enough in fact. I'm the daughter of a cop and you got five damn figures to figure in here, the doors are locked on both sides of the ward, eight adults on duty, there's bars on every window, and the razors, scalpels and anything that can do damage is out of reach and locked up. We take turns in night watch ourselves and lastly you can hear the god damn crash or scream and come investigate, before we do anything."

"So with those words in mind here, how did he die exactly, we're all sharing one thing and one thing in common and whatever it is, it's localized to our toddler lives, a life we can't remember?" Taryn added as she sat on her left as Kristen looked at her and Jennifer, with a look of sisterly love as they looked at her with the same love as the trio's started getting overly protective of her then as Simms eye's narrowed at that.

"Alright just shut up, and listen to me a second, this situation we're in is due to the fact these things are connected to something we forgot. But our parents are the best of friends, the eleven of us, we're known as the Elm Street Gang. Because our parents were the most popular clique in high school and college when they were our age. Fact of the matter is its two fold right now, but one is that it's connected to the Nightingale."

"And we haven't seen hide or hair of him since he was released from prison when we were 11. And two is that this guy, his name is Freddy, which I might add is the nickname for his real name. Which explains these." she said holding up several news clippings. "I don't know how he died and I don't know when but what I do know. Now, is that the song is the key to this, and if you would just focus on the verses, you'd understand this."

"Because two thirds of the horror movie genre is connected to your theory, but we're not the ones causing these injuries on us, they're not self inflicted. When he killed him last night, the facade snapped and we got a very good look at it. But his arms and legs were like someone took a scalpel to them and sliced up his arms and legs. Nancy understands this, because she's one of us, our big sister, and her father is my godfather."

"Tina Grey took it to the chest, and it looked like she's was mauled by a bear, Glen Lantz looked like he ended up in the blender. And then comes this, as Rod Lane was made to look like a suicide, so tell me how could you find four razors. And that can cut into the body all at once when you have these five factors to think over. Philip wasn't a suicide, he was walked out the front door by his dream and with that in mind here."

"As to that, how do you suppose our parents are going to take it we lost four in the side of six years, in total we lost 109 kids. But 20 when we were toddlers, 3 and 1 adult. And then we lose another adult and 89 kids all teenagers and connected to the same thing. Elm Street, that block is a minefield for any who lived there or spent time there. And my model is also connected to it, because that's his house, what it looks with him back."

"So listen to the lyrics 1, 2, Freddy's coming for you." she said and Kincaid took it from there. "3, 4, better lock your door 5, 6, grab your crucifix, 7, 8, got to stay up late, 9, 10, never sleep again, we sleep and we're dead, we don't and we're safe. Because it's not the sleep that's killing us it's the dreams, Doctor. We need dream deprivation to survive here and if this keeps up an every kid in town is going to be wiped out now."

"The key to this so called suicide outbreak lies in the song, Freddy is this guy that's stalking us and hunting us down, stay up late, explains the reason for the caffeine. And why every kid that died has more then the maximum safe dosage in their bodies. Never sleep again, we don't sleep and we're safe, but it's a double edged sword. And that's not being helped by your sedating us, because we have no defense here for that."

"You consider the reason she panicked on Monday when she arrived, it's because for the girls it's even worse, and she's still at risk of getting pregnant, if he attacks her. The girls are at risk, I'm not having my sister at risk of mental rapist, because you're not willing to accept the truth here. She's my baby sister, she needs me to protect her, but in there, she's alone and she doesn't have any of us to protect her, and with that in mind."

"Here's the exact truth, but our families, that's the Thompsons, Andersons, Crusels and Kincaids, she's a Anderson, not Parker, but Anderson. Her mom's maiden name is Anderson, her twin brother is the father of my room mate and best friend. And she's all I got left of their family, and dad's going to say the same. I'm not losing her, because you can't accept the truth right now, or you're refusing to at the moment."

"But our family's we're are a quartet, you want our fathers on your head because you put the girls at risk of a mental rapist, right now. The cycle may have been last week, but she's still fertile right now, everything in these dreams is real. So he attacks her and it's showing up on her body for real which explains the bruises Walter found on her shoulder, it was him." he said firmly and the duo nodded in agreement to that.

"Or rather, all their fathers, the ones I was closest to are the quintet here, and the last time I saw Claire and Wendy was at the previous arraignment." she said and I repeated that. "Arraignment?" I asked and she nodded. "Yes, and the nightingale's name is Lorenzo Adam Rodriguez, the last time I saw him was 8 years ago. After he got arrested by Uncle Donald, Garcia and Willis, which is the reason mom was so irritated Monday."

"You wouldn't happen to know where he is would you, Doctor, because I guarantee if that's the reason for the communications black out and you're screwed here. And why you're refusing to use the whatever dream suppressant she suggested. And your attitude right now only makes it more clear, what's the deal, is it that the second we're released. That we tell our parents who then tell the trio, they come and check and you're busted."

"You and Carver, as well anyone else connected to Reynolds is working here on hospital grounds?" she asked and I watched a flash of fear enter Simms's eyes at the question. "Uh huh, well here's something you should consider, but my mother is the jury leader, I'm related to Judge William 'Dragon' Anderson, he's my grandfather. And Philip's grandfather, Damian Anderson is my mother's twin brother, but let's see here."

"First Tina Grey, then Rod Anderson, then Glen Lantz and now my cousin, this is no mistake is it right now, Reynolds has put death warrant on us. And all that's left of the families connected to Adam's trial are the girls, Jeff and me." she said and Kincaid looked at her. "Two conspiracies in one, is that why he's hounding the duo, he's trying to get arrested and caught by you?" he asked and I watched the fear start growing in her eyes.

"Yeah it is, and it's because Taryn and Jenny weren't at the trial, but the guys, Tina, Nancy and I were, the ones that had him thrown behind bars, they were and are my mother, Damian, John, Peter, Sarah, Claire, Wendy and Uncle Donald, as well and Dillon Brecker, Walter Fast Catch Bennett, and Ronald Adams, kid to the trio, the girls and me." she said and he nodded as I saw her trying to fight the fear as he said it to Kristen.

"Kris, you hanging in there baby?" he added and she nodded as she locked gazes with him. "What?" I repeated and he repeated it. "She's the youngest of the seven of us and in my eyes my baby sister. Will is the third youngest, Taryn's next and she's the youngest of the three of them. But I was the oldest, Philip was next, then Jen, Joey, Will Taryn and then Kris is the youngest, she's the baby of the gang, Doc."

"But she loved our fathers, my dad, Joey's Nancy's Will and Jenny, that's everyone in the medical records. And why Will's mom brought her in, she had to see Jenkins, but with that in mind, whatever reason Lorenzo is bugging the girls. He's trying to get himself caught by someone who knew if he's related to Adam Rodriguez." he said and I nodded as I saw the reaction shifting course in Simms then as Taryn said it for all three of them.

"What the heck's going on between you guys, I've never seen you like this before?" I said gently and she sighed. "Because half our memories are back now, and anything else comes and the total recall is enough to get someone arrested now. Kris is right though, he's trying to turn against each other so we'll be weak. But not going to happen, we stick together and we're stronger." Jenny said and Nancy nodded to her softly at that news.

"This is what he wants, to turn us against each other so we'll be weak, we're all we have left, not a normal gang, but family gang. We found each other when she arrived Monday morning, that's what we were talking about, if you heard us talking. And the truth came out last night, we're adopted brothers and sisters to each other. Our parents and grandparents have been friend since they were our age, but we don't know for sure."

"But whoever the guy is, he's had it out for us ever since something happened, when we were toddlers. But memories type two, but start asking questions the memory starts clearing, as we start talking about it, we start thinking about it. Till we start dreaming about and it breaks down the front door, literally. Aunt Marge probably told her first, and it's unlocked a truth we need now." Kristen said with a sigh and Taryn finished that.

"And even come near her with that syringe and you're going to get it and I mean that, she's in no condition for this now, and whatever reason for not releasing us. Once we figure it out and your ass belongs to our parents after that. But we want to go home, we need our parents we've been separated too long we want to go home." Taryn said with a low growl and Nancy nodded in agreement as that did it I knew what was coming, now.

"I'm not going to listen to anymore of this, how much longer are you going to go on blaming your dreams for your own weaknesses?" she asked with a stern tone and with that it was about to turn ugly as well as Kincaid looked at her with an icy look on his face. "Oh really, we just told you everything you needed to know and you're holding on to this delusion, you're the one who needs a psychiatrist and with that in mind."

"Lady how much longer are you going to keep throwing smoke up our ass, this crap theory of yours. That's just an excuse to keep us, here, we want to go home, we need our parents." he snapped at her and in disbelief I decided to head off a shouting match as the others started shouting now, and I was trying to keep from losing my temper as I ended that argument before it lead to the fight turning physical between them.

"Shut up, just shut up you fools, it's been 3 days and I had 2 good nights here and then my cousin is murdered, I don't need this right now and neither does he. Philip was his best friend, all that's left of the 11 of us is the 7 of us now and..., and." Kristen snapped shaking in pain and anger. "Philip." she said as I heard the suppressed sob in her voice and I ended it at that, and I knew I had to end the session, before it got worse.

"Alright that's enough Kincaid!" I said over the others and Simms lit the fire with the next statement as I caught the look on Kristen's face and could tell she was about to start crying, and knew if she said the next statement, that Kristen was going to have another panic attack and I had to head it off before it started a second time, because if I didn't she would be pushed back a few more weeks.

'Oh no, I have to get her to calm down before she says that, I can't have her panicking now, she could relapse because of this I've got to head this off now.' I was thinking as I looked at Nancy who gave a nod as this kept up as this started getting worse and we got ready to head this off. "Elizabeth wait a minute, Jane said not to say what you're about to, think about that." I told her with stern tone, but I could tell she was going to ignore that order with this.

"There will be no more repeat occurrences of last nights events, from now on your doors will be locked during sleeping hours." she snapped as Nancy and I looked at each other in disbelief before I heard Kristen start whimpering as I heard the first words of it come out. "No, no please." I heard her whisper and then heard the rest of it from my connection to her then. 'No, no please, I can't be cut off from them, I lost four I can't lost the sextet too, please.' I heard her think and looked at her and felt fear take hold as I watched her, thinking fast I locked gazes with her and mentally told her to calm down as I looked into her eyes gently.

'It's alright calm down, shh, it's okay, I'll take care of this, just calm down.' I said to her gently, but though she got the message I knew she was on the edge of losing it then as Nancy stepped into it to head off the next statement before Simms said it. "Simms get a good look at her don't say it." she snapped and as I tried to keep her from losing it then as I looked into her eyes as I used our bond to say the words then.

'I can't, stop her, I can't handle losing another member of my gang and I can't deal with hearing that again not after what happened on Monday, I drained most of my energy after what happened last night and it's getting worse. We can't be cut off from each other, our bonds have snapped back into place and we can't lose another member of our gang, we lost one last night we can't lose another, because she won't listen.' her eyes told me and I gave mental nod.

'I'll take care of it, just calm down, it's alright, it's okay.' I said to her softly and she nodded as Nancy took over from there, while I tried to keep her from losing it then, since I wasn't going to risk that relapse getting triggered. "Hold it, before you say anything else, Doctor, I suggest you get a look at her because she is on the edge of another one here, so I suggest you don't say anything else, because I'm not chancing a relapse here." Nancy snapped at her as I watched her more closely and knew she was right, and at this point I wasn't taking chances here, and the next statement was making me more worried by the minute, since she was far from fully recovered and this could push her back a few more weeks and Simms obviously wasn't thinking or seeing that whatsoever now as Taryn, who was sitting next to her, quickly laid a hand on her shoulder.

'Easy, calm down, it's alright' I said quickly, knowing she was on the edge of losing it there. "Doctor I'm not kidding here, she's on the edge of losing it right now so don't bring up alright." Nancy said to her sharply and I added on to that. "Elizabeth don't bring it up, she's right and this could push back her recovery a few more weeks." I said sharply to her, and I knew she didn't care about that as she started getting ready to finish off her statement as I carefully watched Kristen and could see her shaking at what was coming. 'Oh no, not again, Elizabeth don't say it." I was thinking as I heard the words that were going to start a possible riot in there.

"I'm starting an evening sedation for everyone." she added and that did it as Kincaid stood up. "The fuck you will, anyone who tries to sedate me will get his ass kicked and you go near her with that and I'm going to take you apart, I lost my brother I'm not losing the rest of my gang, stay away from her!" he shouted at her as she hit the alarm and he started backing up as she also stood up at that while I was watching this I could see Kristen's demeanor had shifted again and knew what was coming as I tried to head it off before she lost it.

"Kincaid, brother..." she said as I heard her mental tone shifting and I knew what was coming. As he shoved past Simms and crouched in front of her. "Easy don't, don't lose it, I'm here shh." he said as she buried her head in his shoulder. "Get back!" Simms shouted and he snapped back at her. "Shut up, she's my baby sister, so keep your fucking mouth shut." he snarled as he turned his gaze back to Kristen.

Before Joey got up as well and moved to them as she wrapped both arms around them and they pulled her into a hug as I saw her shaking. "Never mind let them do this, they're her trio, she needs them more right now." Taryn said quickly to me and I nodded. "She's too close to the edge, don't say it twice, or it's going to hit her all at once, don't say it." Jennifer added with a quick order and Will nodded in agreement.

"She was up all night from the attack, she's so exhausted that this could cause that relapse now, she doesn't need this right now. Guys that's enough, stop, I'm trying to keep her calm but the more you discuss it. And the worse she's going to get, and just stay away from both us right now. She's on the fight or flight response, so just stay away from us right now." Kincaid said sharply to the three of them and they nodded.

"Who's the leader of the six of you exactly?" Nancy asked and he sighed. "I am, but with you back you're ahead of me, but alpha, beta, omega, alpha's third. And it goes down the list from there, but our parents they were a wolf pack and they lost four Cubs, we're all that's left Nanc'." he said as he kept his arms around her and she buried her head into Kincaid's shoulder as the I exchanged looks with her at that as I knew she needed him.

I could also tell that the reason he lashed out now was because he wasn't risking Kristen having a relapse right there and decided to lay into her before she lost it now as I tried to head off what was going to turn into a fight that was about to result in another panic attack and probable escape attempt from both of them, because she was in no condition for it and he was beyond furious at Simms for saying that in front of her and probably scared to be cut off from her as well.

As I watched her carefully, Kristen shifted position and finally stood up as well and started backing towards the door and I knew she was ready to bolt as well as I quickly stood up as well to head it off as she backed away from me, I wasn't letting this continue as I tried to calm her down gently as I could see the sweat breaking out on her face and knew she was so panicked she was either going to try to fight it out with us or try to make a run for it and I knew I had to end this before she drained herself even further out of her panic and slowly moved closer.

'Easy honey, it's alright, it's going to be okay.' I said to her softly as she looked at me and I could see she was getting pale at that, knowing she was on the edge of losing control of her stomach and I needed to end this as soon as possible. "You just bought yourself a night in the quiet room mister, now sit down." Simms said and he backed into the wall, and I could tell he was ready to make a break for it.

"Fuck you, you sit down!" he snapped back at her as I tried to get him to calm down before it lead to fight as I got up as well and shifted position to get closer to him to head off that escape before he tried it and I knew why as well, because he was also on the edge here of a full-blown panic attack and so was Kristen and I had to get things under control before this turned into a riot, because I had two of my patients on the edge of a panic attack and one of them who was still recovering from a serious case of anemia and I wasn't risking a relapse that morning.

"Easy, calm down Kincaid." I said as the door opened and Max and Walter came into the room and froze after seeing the look on her face as she moved back further from them, 'Dear god, not now please.' I thought to myself as I got a better look at her face and could tell she was ready to lose control of her stomach and try to get out of the room before I could get her to calm down. "Guys freeze." I said and they stopped and quickly blocked the door, in case she did try it as Max watched her carefully then. 'Easy baby, calm down, it's okay, it's okay.' I saw Max thinking gently as I looked at him then.

"Guys, get him to calm down and forget the you know what, I'll take care of her." I said and they both nodded, as Max moved closer to him, grabbed him and they pulled him into the ward. "Son calm down, easy." I heard Walter say to him in the hall. "Kris, don't, let me go, she needs me, Kris!" I heard him shouting. "Damn it listen to me, she's on the edge, let me go!" he snapped again as they pulled him into the ward firmly.

'Nice work you old windbag.' I heard Taryn growl with a furious tone in her mental voice at this as Nancy, Simms and I all moved out of the room and went into the hall for a conference over this and wound up in a fight over it, since I was about to make a decision over my newest patients' health and I had to make sure she could recover from this without anything else screwing it up in her recover then

I was also going to kill Simms for doing this after I got this worked out that morning, and if this kept up I was calling Jenkins and Adams down here to deal with it before my patient drained herself completely, because of her idiotic decisions there. Before we could do anything her complexion paled even further and I knew she was on the verge of losing control of her stomach as I tried to move closer to calm her down.

'Damn it, nice wording Gordon you just made it worse there.' I thought to myself as I quickly tried to calm her down as I moved closer and she had frozen as I kept my voice gentle as I thought to her gently, knowing she was hearing the mental messages I was sending her way in order to keep it from getting worse. 'Doc hurry up, she loses it now and it's going to hit her all at once.' I heard Will think to me and I gave a mental nod as I slowly edged closer to her while thinking to her softly to keep her calm.

"Don't honey, don't fight me here, I'm not going to hurt you, it's alright baby, it's going to be okay.' I thought to her as I edged closer to her as she had frozen and was shaking and I knew the shock from losing him was kicking in and probably the response she had when she got here and I had to head it off before it hit. 'Easy honey easy, just relax, it's going to be alright, shh it's alright.' I thought to her gently, as I stayed put this time.

While I was thinking this, I heard a quick conversation in the hall. "Don't make any sudden movements, she's on the flight or flight response, but block the door." I heard Eric say to whoever was with him as he and Jeff came charging into the room to see what had happened, saw her and quickly froze to keep from scaring her. "What happened in here?" Eric asked quickly and Jennifer answered that with a furious tone in her voice.

"A misdirected statement from a gently mild argument and intervention resulted in a panic attack from him and she's on the edge as well." she said keeping her voice gentle to keep from scaring her sister and I quickly ended that before it got worse as I turned to Simms angrily as I felt my anger at this rising and I was ready to tear into her myself for this as I tried to keep from setting Kristen off with the next statement I made here.

"That's enough, Elizabeth we're going to talk about this, but enough with that, look at her!" I snapped at Simms as Kristen moved further back as Jeff froze at the same time as Eric moved closer to her and tried to lay a hand on her arm gently but she jerked away from him and moved closer to the door, I knew she was going to try and run for it and I tried to calm her down, since her complexion had turned pale and her face was drenched in sweat as I tried to get closer, she turned and Eric quickly caught her and wrapped his arms around her to calm her down, as he did it he turned to me.

"She's having another hot-flash." he said quickly as another dizzy spell shot through her and she nearly collapsed again as I quickly moved over to her and Nancy stood up and grabbed a few napkins and went to the cooler to get them wet to cool her down as I moved closer and she looked at me and I knew she was about to try and make a break for it even though he had his arms around her, and I knew if she tried it she would collapse right then if that did happen.

'Aw god not now.' I was thinking as I shifted to her and looked at her gently as I moved closer to her and gently reached out to her and brushed a hand against her arm to calm her down as she locked gazes with me and I quickly thought to her, 'Easy, shh, it's alright, calm down, it's okay, honey.' I said to her as I rubbed her shoulder and that helped to calm her as I helped her sit back down and moved closer to her and she leaned against me as I wrapped an arm around her shoulders as I rubbed her back as I locked gazes with her a second time.

'Shh, it's alright, I'm going to put an end to this, I'll be back, I promise.' I said to her softly as she got a grip on my jacket as I looked at her softly and rubbed her back to help calm her. 'Don't go.' she said softly and I gently answered her. 'I'll be back, I just have to deal with something, I'm not leaving you baby, it's going to be okay.' I said gently and she nodded as I rubbed her shoulder gently as I looked at her.

I knew she needed me, and I wasn't going to leave her, but first I was going to deal with Simms for this, I'd had enough of this and was going to lay into her for nearly causing her to lose it then. 'Doc deal with that idiot, we got her covered.' Eric said to me softly and I nodded to that as he helped me as he kept his arms around her then.

After getting her back in her seat, I managed to calm her down a bit and Nancy pressed the napkins against her neck and she leaned forward so she could try to relax and Nancy gently stroked a hand through her hair as she buried her head into her shoulder as I felt my anger go through me at this. 'Just rest sis, it's going to be okay.' I could see her thinking softly as she rocked her gently then, before turning to me and nodded.

I didn't have to hear the words to know she was trying to keep her calm, before I could say anything else, Simms called a meeting over what just happened in there, as I looked at her I gently thought to her 'It's alright just rest, I'll be back I promise.' I said to her again and she nodded as she relaxed slightly as Eric came over and rested his hand on her shoulder and she relaxed slightly, as she leaned her head against his arm as I felt my concern climbing and I was furious at Simms for this.

"Everyone stay in your seats!" she called out to the others as I brushed my hand against Kristen's shoulder to calm her down, knowing I was going to have to deal with her condition right after I dealt with Simms for breaking orders before it hit her and she lost it completely, and if I was right about my connection with her, it had grown enough to make it easier for me to calm her down before this started turning physical, and before she lost control altogether.

While I was thinking this, Simms turned to me and told me what she intended to do about this and I was furious with her, Kristen was just beginning to adjust to being with the rest of the kids and now this happens and Simms nearly triggers a relapse and I've had enough of this crap, and was going to lay into her for nearly triggering that panic attack before dealing with my patients anxiety over this.

After what Max told me the night before, I was furious at what I heard and I was calling her out on it now, and ending it before it did further damage as I shifted my gaze to look at Kristen as Jeff and Eric stayed in the room with the kids and I then turned my attention to focus on the fight. "I'm starting the sedations tonight starting with him." she said and I felt like I was about to blow with this information as Nancy tried to keep her from trying that. "You can't, they'll be totally defenseless in their dreams." she said and this started an argument between them, whatever the reason for why she was trying to head it off was beginning to get on my nerves, I needed information, but she thought I wasn't ready for it yet.

Whatever this was, it had to do with the panic attacks they kept having, the model Kristen built, the street that house was on and the nightmares and I was determined to figure it out before my youngest lost it completely and before I lost another member of our group. With the fact that she was born in November she was the youngest member of their entire group and with that I was determined to make sure that nothing screwed things up in her case, and I was going to take care of her over the next few months too.

Without even realizing it, she had brought out the paternal side of me and I was now acting like I was really her father, and I had grown more protective of her to the point to where I was determined to make sure she healed up completely from whatever or whoever landed her in here. As I was thinking this, I turned to them as they continued their argument and landed on the one option to give my surrogate daughter and the other members of my group a chance to sleep undisturbed for once, and it meant getting that suppressant into the ward and ending this situation altogether.

"But that is precisely what they need, some uninterrupted REM sleep to release all that negative energy." Simms said and Nancy looked at her in disgust. "Yeah and did you ever consider that is the reason for why she just had that panic attack in there or the reason for why she wound up with that bruise on her shoulder or even why she panicked when she got here." she snapped at her. "Open your mind up here, what is a girl's biggest fear, especially when they are in the condition she is in right now." she added coldly as I stepped into that argument with what I was about to say next, before I could though, she laid into her then.

"Have you ever studied dreams, because sometimes they can point to past memories that the person dreaming them has no memory of and to add on to that, they're also pointing to a bond deeper than the one you think they have and why it's getting deeper at the moment, and with making threats like that, doctor, you could get in big trouble here."

"If that keeps up, I'm calling the cops and having you arrested for malpractice, child abuse and emotional abuse, because like she said this isn't helping anything and it's making things worse in their case as well as hers and I'm not risking a relapse here either." she said to her sternly, and that caught my attention as I went into that one before I made my decision, as I looked at my surrogate daughter for a few minutes before turning to her to ask her.

"Hold it, the record said my dad was her legal guardian right?" she asked and I nodded. "Alright as to that I'm acting as his and her mothers proxy here, and their parents in the case of the others, there's only one option now Neil, because as their parents representative, I'm giving authorization to use it, Jenkins needed my authorization and you got it, so bring it in." she said and I nodded as I got what she was telling me to do. "The dream suppressant?" I asked and she nodded to answer me.

"Yeah, this is what I meant by literal danger by those nightmares, she can't keep this up, or she could relapse by the end of the week, you got authorization for it's use, her blood tests and results flashed up information that could put her upstairs if this keeps up, it's the only option now." she said and I nodded as Simms looked at her with her eyes narrowed at that. "Excuse me, what do you mean by that?" Simms asked firmly and Nancy turned to her sternly.

"Do you know who I really am here exactly, or why I brought up my father?" Nancy growled and she shook her head and she held up the records. " By parental authorization codes in the medical and psychiatric network, I'm hereby activating the use of prescription dream suppressants, Will's mother is her medical doctor, her mother is the jury leader and my and Taryn's fathers are cops, meaning you got one chance here."

"My father is Lieutenant Donald Thompson, lieutenant of the Springwood police department, my father is her guardian, and I'm now his and Elaine's proxy in Kristen's case as of now, my orders are getting her that drug, or you, Simms, are going straight to jail for nearly triggering a relapse and a riot in there, because that's illegal as is Lorenzo deliberately causing a panic over the sedatives." she said coldly and then drove it home.

"Let's see here, if her memory comes back in the next forty eight hours and you're fucked Simms, because she tells me, I tell Williams, the cops and my father and you're screwed. If this is the reason you're keeping them here longer than they should be, but all I have to do is make one call to Charlie Harris and my grandfather and you're ending up in here yourselves for getting seventy six children killed for false diagnosis."

"If you're harboring any secrets or worse, all I have to do is make one call to my father and Henderson and that is it for you and Carver, if he's in on this as well and you're all going straight to jail, so watch it, the proxy orders are get them that dream suppressant or I'm calling the cops in here, is that clear." she snapped and Simms looked at her in disbelief as I took over than."What memories are trying to come forward here, because this is making things worse in her case?" I asked, interjecting to calm her down, and she sighed.

"That house that model is based off of happens to be the one I lived in after whatever caused that separation, I don't suppose you read through all of their records did you?" she asked and I nodded in answer to that. "Yeah and hers said that three of the emergency contacts were your father, James Kincaid and Jared Peterson, but how could that be, you haven't seen each other in years, what the hell is going on?" I asked and she went into the first explanation as she answered me.

"It means that their memories of us and our parents are beginning to come back, though if Lorenzo Adam Rodriguez is hiding in plain sight and it's right in front of me and Walter, as well as Jeff and he's screwed if he tries on her next. Our parents gave permission to get them the dream suppressant, you have the authorization, use it Neil, because their memories are coming faster than normal at the moment."

"What memories that are too painful we choose to block out and this happens to be one of them. The said memory is regarding the house her model is based off of, she's never crossed the block perimeter since our families separated and that house is the reason. Lucid dreaming results in near fatal injuries and this is what I meant when I said real physical danger in their nightmares." she told me and I nodded as that firmed up my resolve as she finished her eyes narrowed as she looked at Simms who had a scared look on her face.

"Alright their records all say they were born on the street that house is on and another thing is they were all born within a few months of each other and Philip is the second oldest one, and to top it off the dreams are getting out of control to the point to where if this keeps up she's going to get worse if we don't do something to put an end to that right now. So if she keeps this up she'll relapse by the end of the week, and our only option is dream deprivation here, Stanton was her doctor and I know she's going to agree with that." she said and I nodded as that made my decision I'd have enough of this crap.

As I looked at Kristen then, I decided to get it into the ward to make sure my patients got the rest they needed and so she could get the rest she needed to heal from the amount of damage her system had taken in the last two weeks and probably the last six months before she arrived and with what she just told me both things together and what happened Sunday night and I wasn't risking a collapse or a relapse at this point as I looked at her gently as I asked about Kristen's statement.

"She said that they got the proof they needed, what does that mean?" I asked her and her eyes narrowed at that. "If they checked out their photos of their early years, they may have found a group photo of the eight of us and our parents and if that's the case, they just figured it out now, but to repeat what she said they don't need this right now. Simms you try and break the law here and I'm calling my father here to deal with this.

"Your stunts in there are illegal, because trying to keep a patient from healing physically and emotionally is malpractice and if it keeps up, you're getting your head handed to you by our parents, Jack Stanton will take your head off and if this leads to anything else you're both screwed. Though if you're harboring a convicted felon, on a parole and you're toast, once her memories of that trial come back, because it's illegal to hire without checking." she snapped at her and I thought over how to deal with this as I thought of my patients condition.

Because with losing three liters of blood and a serious case of exhaustion, she was going to get sick if this kept up and if she didn't get the rest she needed she was going to wind up in the ICU for a month to heal from this and I wasn't going to risk that as I turned to Simms I gave a stern look to her and gave my orders on it, because I had had enough of this and was putting an end to it before it landed my patient in the infirmary for a month to heal from all of this. "Elizabeth, I'm prescribing Hypnocil, it's a dream suppressant." I said and she looked at me in shock on that.

"I know what it is, I just can't believe what I'm hearing, what has she talked you into?" she asked and I told her the truth, I've had enough of this crap and I wasn't going to lose another patient because of this, especially since if she had another all-nighter she was going to be even more drained than she was already and I had to head it off before this got even worse as I said it out loud the words out loud then.

"Nothing, they're my patients, it's my decision I want these dreams stopped till we get some answers. She's right, as the legal proxy, she's got the right to do orders on behalf of their parents, and I'm following those orders, Will's mother is the kids original medical doctor, and she's going to agree with what Nancy just ordered here. And she already gave authorization for their parents we got the authorization." I told her and she looked at me with a firm look.

"I can't allow that." she said and I felt my anger rising at that and what I was about to say next."It's parental authorized Elizabeth, you don't have authority for this anymore and I'm going straight to Jenkins, he's their medical doctor, if you don't approve. Than I'll go straight to Carver if I have to and he'll either back me up or accept my resignation." I said and felt like I was about to lose control of my stomach with that statement, I could never leave the kids, and I wasn't about to leave my newest patient, she needed me more than ever now.

"Alright, but if something goes wrong I'll make sure that you're hold responsible, I mean that fully responsible." she said and I nodded in resignation at that as she left the hall and I turned to Nancy, 'There's another one, I need to get added back up in here, before I completely break at this point.' I thought as I looked at Nancy and said my thoughts out loud. "I can't believe I just said that, if something happens she's going to put the blame on us and I'm not leaving the kids at this point, especially with her in her condition at the moment." I said to her and she looked at me quickly.

"You think you can get the hypnocil here by tomorrow?" she asked and I looked at her with irritation over what just happened. "We're going to try, I hope you know what you are getting us into." I said as I left the hall as well and went back into the upper section of the ward to cool off as I thought over what I knew so far and then thought on my statement to Nancy, and knew I was going to have to fix this, but first I had to get my anger at Simms under control before I did it because Simms was pushing my patience to the point I was ready to kill her.

'Sorry Nancy, that was uncalled for, we'll talk in a bit, but first I'm giving her a piece of my mind here.' I thought softly then. I shouldn't have snapped at her like that, but this entire situation was beginning to get to me, one of my patients' friends had just been killed and she was in pain and so were the others, the only option was to suppress the dreams to keep this from happening a second time and I was going to lay into Simms for nearly triggering a relapse with that blasted statement as I went into the main hall and saw her there with an icy look, as I walked over to her with an ice-cold look on my face.
