"Madison Caden"
Chapter 4 - Waiting
A few hours later, Adam and Emma were finished with the operation. Jesse was waiting with the now awake Madison. "How are you feeling?" Adam asked when he saw her, he automatically went into doctor mode.
"I'm fine! How's Shalimar?" Madison asked.
"I repaired the damage Gabriel had caused, but I don't know if it's enough."
"I'm sorry," Madison told him sitting next to Jesse.
"It's not your fault," Jesse told her holding her. Emma sat on the other side of Jesse tired from the operation and Jesse held her, too.
"Where's Brennan?" Adam asked.
"In his room," Jesse answered.
"I'll let him sleep for a while," Adam told them.
"I told him I'd keep him updated," Jesse told Adam.
"Well, she's technically in the same condition. The only thing that's changed is that there's no internal bleeding. So, why don't you wait until her vital signs come up or when she comes out of that coma, whichever comes first."
"Okay," Jesse agreed.
"Emma, why don't you go get some rest, we'll alert you if things change," Adam ordered.
"Thanks," Emma said as she headed for her room.
"Madison, are you sure you're okay?" Adam asked.
"Yeah," she told him softly trying to figure out why Gabriel hadn't hurt her.
"What?" Adam asked noticing her far off look.
"Why did Gabriel spare me?" Madison asked.
"He wasn't going to, he was going to kill you."
"Then why didn't he?"
"Madison, why not be happy that you're alive?" Jesse suggested.
"He could have done it, he had the time...why didn't he?"
"I'll tell you what, I'll ask him the next time I see him."

The Next Morning...
Brennan opened his eyes. he instantly thought Brennan was still dressed, he pulled on his shoes and headed for the med lab. He found Madison Caden sitting next to Shalimar's bed when he entered the med lab. Madison looked over at Brennan. She always had a spark in her eyes. Her big blue eyes. She always was hopeful. "How is she?" Brennan asked.
"Jesse didn't wake you because there wasn't any change and Adam said you needed your sleep. So, please don't be angry with them," Madison said pushing some of her hair away from her face.
"Do you know her condition?"
"Adam and Emma fixed all of the internal injuries, but she's in a coma. I'm sorry Brennan," Madison said as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"It's not your fault!"
"Yes it is, if you and Shalimar and Jesse hadn' come for me then she'd be fine!"
"Madison, everything's going to be fine. Adam...he can help her..."
"Brennan, Adam can't do anything to get Shalimar out of the coma she's in. Adam may be a miracle worker, but this is just one miracle Adam can NOT preform. I'm sorry!" Madison said crying. Brennan pulled her into his arms.
"Everything's going to be alright," he told her looking down at the unconscious Shalimar.

Fire. Heat. "Brennan?" she said a loud. She looked around but all she could see was flames and all she could feel was heat and fear. She was SO afraid, she couldn't help it. The flames seemed to be getting closer and closer. Shalimar was panicking. "Please! Someone help me!" Shalimar cried out and remembered something Adam had once said. Shalimar closed her eyes Shalimar concentrated on what she knew could get her out of anything. Her friends, her family. Adam. Jesse. Emma. Brennan. Even Madison. So, that's what Shalimar focused on...and the fire disapeared. She smiled to herself.
