"We need a doctor over here!" he called as several members of the medical staff came hurrying in followed by Zed.
"Is she going to be okay?" Jay asked as he got out of the car so the medics would have room to work and joined his partner. Kay didn't answer. He just watched as the medics hooked Elle up to an IV and started administering drugs to calm the seizures before moving her onto a stretcher.
"What happened?" Zed asked as he joined Jay and Kay who were following the stretcher down the hall to the medical lab.
"We were checking the crash site. Elle suspected that we were dealing with a bug. The rest of us spread out in the woods while Elle finished checking the site."
"We weren't gone more than a minute or so but when we came back, the bug had Elle, Chief," Jay added.
"When we confronted him, he threw her down and fled," They had reached the medical lab while they were talking and they hurried to the observation window. Elle was laying on a stretcher in the middle of the room surrounded by doctors who were busily connecting her to various machines. The drug had calmed the seizures a bit but her body still twitched slightly. Kay reached out and placed a hand on the glass of the window as he continued to talk. "Jay went after him while I checked Elle. There was a bug bite on her arm and her heart wasn't beating. I started CPR and when Jay came back I had him get the defibrillator. After we used that to get a heartbeat back, we got her into the LTD and headed back here."
"She started having convulsions right after we left the scene," Jay said as he joined Kay at the window and stared worriedly down at Elle. He couldn't believe all of the machines that she had been hooked to in the minute or so she had been in the med lab. It seemed like every doctor in the place was poking and prodding her, taking samples and shaking their heads. She had to be alright. "When she opened her eyes she just looked so.... She kept trying to talk but she was shaking too bad to get any words out."
Just then the lead doctor came in. "We have a preliminary diagnosis," he said.
"What's wrong with her?" Jay asked.
"There's an unknown toxin building up in her bloodstream that was apparently injected when the bug bit her. That was what caused the cardiac arrest as well as the seizures. We can keep her sedated to control the seizures and for now life support will keep her alive but we have no idea how to treat this toxin and without treatment, Agent Elle has less than twenty-four hours to live."
