Chapter 24: Desperate Measures
Across town Kyle Durant lay in bed ill. He reached desperately for the now damp blankets as another wave of chills wracked his aching muscles. Shivering he grimaced at the irony of it all. Monday evening he had been running a fever and gone to bed early with a raging headache. When he awoke Tuesday panting with a 104 degree fever he summoned all his effort to call in sick to work as an attorney in the District Attorney's office. He spent the day in bed alternating between drenching sweats and chills. Around five there was a knock at the door and it literally took him five minutes to make his way to the door. By the time he finally flung the door open; and clung to it sweating and panting from the exertion, his boss DA Scott Baldwin had already given up and started back down the steps."Man you look rough," Baldwin had said as he turned back around. Had he not been using all effort to just maintain a semi upright position Kyle would have smirked at Baldwin's rather obvious disbelief about him not playing hooky from work. Baldwin had actually offered him a ride to the hospital but he had assured him he would be fine. After Baldwin had finally left he had made his way back inside and then dropped to the floor to rest before attempting to make it back to bed.
Lying in bed he realized how futile the situation was. His head was still throbbing and his mind felt fuzzy. But even through a fog he realized that he didn't have any good options. Sure he could go to the ED at PCGH but that would likely involve revealing his secret in order to survive. He had done that before, and soon everyone knew in spite of alleged patient confidentiality. Ultimately he had lost his career and the woman he loved. He had not returned to Port Charles to be closer to his sister Carly Spencer or Corinthos or whatever last name she was using this month. Anyone who would believe that obviously didn't know Carly very well he thought with a chuckle stifled by pain. His return to Port Charles had been more like an exile. As the fever spiked again Kyle allowed the darkness to envelope him, accepting his fate.
What Kyle hadn't counted on was that his girlfriend Faith Ward was returning two days early from her business trip and had planned to surprise him with dinner. As Kyle lay unconscious Faith let herself into his apartment with a bag of groceries for her dinner preparations. She went into the kitchen to put some of the perishables in the refrigerator but as she was washing her hands at the kitchen sink something felt wrong. She had an eerie sensation that she wasn't alone.
Moments later armed with a kitchen knife she went through the rest of the apartment looking for an intruder. When she cracked the door to Kyle's room she was overcome with the stench of stale sweat and then she saw him. She dropped the knife and crossed the room to the bed where he lay in a mess of tangled and damp sheets and blankets. "Kyle..Baby are you alright?" she asked dropping down to her knees by the bed. When he didn't respond she numbly reached for the phone by his bed and called 911.
