Part 11
Samantha Waters walks down towards Grace's lab.George is sitting up on the examination table.His feet dangling off. He looks sad and lost sitting their. His eyes a deep brick red, as if he had been crying. She could tell it wasn't an illusion, that he had been crying by the tears stains down his check. His eyes snap, as they realize Grace has injected him with a long syringe.
"Oww, why must you get so much pleasure out of jamming me with that needle?" He asks trying to jerk back. Grace holds tightly to his shoulder as she removes the needle.Sam knocks on the glass part. Grace nods for her to come in.
"Are you okay, George?" Samantha asks, staring into his brown eyes. She is greatly concerned for him, as is everyone else.That has to be one of the worst thing to find out on a case. She hands him a clean tissue from the open package in her pocket.
"I hope so.Thanks." George says with a weak smile, taking the tissue.He wipes his face off, and blows his nose a little.He is not sure what he is expected to say, and he really isn't sure right now, he is experiencing too many emotions.He starts to roll up the sleeve on his navy sweater. He watches Grace store the blood sample in a vial, seal the vial, then put it in a plastic bag.
"I'll send these off to the lab, and we will find out as soon as possible." Grace says and comes back to give him a pat on his shoulder.
"Thank you, Grace." He says softly. He gets up, and drops his tissue into a trash receptacal. Both women watch him do this. They are both deeply concerned for their friend. He walks back towards where Grace and Sam are.
"No problem."She resists the urge to pinch his cheek. He is very cute sometimes, and she usually can't resist but today she will lay off him. He's had a long day.She gives him a reassuring smile instead.
"I hate to do this, Georgie, but there has been another attack. Bailey wants to talk to you about something involving it." Samantha tells him. She gives him an "I'm sorry" smile. She was told to not give him details, and she has to try hard not to tell him. He nods, and slids off the table. She can't help but notice he looks crushed. He must think one hundred percent he was affected. This saddens her. Poor George.
They walk back to the command center, a million questions going through her head, but she can't say any.She understand a little what he is going through, sometimes she has no hope that Jack will ever be stopped. He must still be in shocked a little. She has a feeling the test will come back negative. She doesn't know why. Just a feeling. She starts to open her mouth to say it, -or- something else comforting when they get to the command center.She feels bad about it, she should no what to say, she talks to victims a lot, but she doesn't know if George will give her a chance to talk. Maybe he needs a few days.
He walks to his chair and slides in. He notices John and Malcolm gone, they must have gone to investigate the new attack. Grace comes into the command center a few seconds later. She sits next to George. He gives her a tiny smile. Sam sits in the other chair next to him.
Bailey Malone looks on patiently. All three watch him. "I have an assignment for George, I need you to go undercover."
George waits for him to finish. He is excited about going on field duty, but this doesn't sound good. He frowns a little.
"We think the person responsible is Rich, and we need you to be bait and lure him in." Bailey says.
George frowns. He is about to say something but doesn't. He doesn't even know where to begin. He is angry, but not at them, and he most certainly can not yell at them, for something that was his fault.His fault entirely. He should have used a condom, and this wouldn't had happened. But he had loved Rich, and he still did, and he hadn't expected their too be affairs, and definetly not the huge fight they had six months ago. And he certainly did not every expect he wuld one day have to explain to his boss, why his daughter was infected with the Aids virus.He had been running ways to say something in his head, since he noticed Rich on the suspect list, but ever situation ended with Bailey screaming at him, and coming after him with a letter opener.
Bailey looks concerned at his agent. He has always took concern in their well being. And he won't abandon George now, even if the tests do become positive, but he is unsure how to react to George right now. The only thing it seems he can do is pray for George. Maybe Franny will come with him and light candles at the cathereal. He clears his throat softly. "Are you up to this?"
