-Speeding Up to Slow Down-
There was whispering wherever he went. No one would look him in the eye.
"Is everything alright?" Deb tapped his shoulder.
"I'm fine.What's wrong with everyone?" Carter hissed back, hand rubbing the small of his back."God.."
She looked him over twice. Once, to see for visible pain, something she could say 'Look, I saw this,Let me help', twice, to make sure for her own piece of mind, that he was in one piece.
But he wouldn't let her look where she wanted.
She wanted to see if he was still entacted inside. If his heart was still in one piece .

If they calm you down,
Then excite them
If they call you out,
Then ignore them.
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down

"I can't hide forever. They'll start to show" he muttered under his breath. Needle in vein, vein to blood, he felt his muscles go lax.
It was almost over. The paranoia, the pain, the sharp feeling somewhere that something was wrong.
Too many things wrong to care anymore.
"They'll all see, and everything I've worked for is over" he muttered, pushing his hair back out of his eyes.
Then the shadow that had watched ran away.

When they all believe
You reject it.
When they all are for,
Be against it.
You're speeding up
You're speeding up
To slow down

"John?"
He wanted to run."I can face them.But you can't be there"
"Then you know..?"
Carter nodded,"I know she saw me Deb. I know she's trying to pin those missing drugs on me. ON ME!"
She stepped back, biting her lip harder than he had ever seen. Fighting some sort of emotion back.
"I wouldn't do this"
Deb closed her eyes.
"I wouldn't do this! You know me! Would I do this?"
She finally opened her eyes, and never took them off him.
