Med-Lab At Sanctuary, A Few Hours Later………

  Adam was checking Sage's vitals when Emma walked in. She had been resting in her room for the last hour but had gotten restless lying there when there was so much on her mind. She had tried to meditate but found it impossible to concentrate.

  Jesse and Shalimar were still searching the computers for any sign off Brennan. It made Emma feel useless because she couldn't give them any more information. She had tried privately in her room to connect with Brennan again but all she got was the same feeling of pain and the image of numbers.

  "How is he?" Emma asked Adam, smiling reassuringly when he looked at her concerned.

  "He's getting worse." Adam said sighing, rubbing the back of his neck. "If I knew what was causing his DNA to break done then I might be able to reverse it. But at the moment I don't know if it's natural or if it was triggered by something. If I knew more about what happened to his mother it would help." He looked questioningly at Emma.

  "We checked the computers earlier but there was no other information on his mother or the G.D Project." Emma said regretfully as she stared at Sage.

  "I'm going to try and bring down his temperature it's gotten dangerously high." Adam said as he moved over to the computer screen that was monitoring Sage's vitals.

  "Adam." Jesse called as he and Shalimar entered the room at a run. "We think we know where they're keeping Brennan. There's a GSA building outside of town which received a prisoner transfer less than an hour after Brennan was taken. It's called Building 24."

  "Good work you two." Adam said, relief flooding through his features. He went on to ask them about what they'd been able to find out about the buildings security so they could formulate a plan.

   Sage was lost in the mist.

  He had been there for some time but he couldn't tell how long. He knew this was a dream and that out in the real world he was loosing a battle.

  When he'd first arrived on the dream plane it had been a big meadow full of green grass that swayed in the slight breeze. Slowly thou the landscape had changed becoming a barren wasteland. Then the mist had come.

  It happened slowly so at first Sage didn't realize what was happening. The mist covered the landscape blocking everything out, swallowing Sage up. From time to time voices from far away were able to come through the mist to reach him.

  Sage knew these voices were from the real world, and he'd tried to call out to them at times but knew it was useless.

  The longer he was in the mist the weaker he became.

  With the last amount of strength that he could gather Sage reached out with his mind feeling for a connection with one of the voices. He did not have the strength to link with a mind on his own and was going to give up when he sensed a power reaching out to him.

  He grabbed hold of it allowing it connect with him using up the last of his strength. He then let go feeling the mist surround him once again.

Med-Lab At Sanctuary………

  While the others talked, Emma was checking on Sage. She felt a little dizzy for a second and thought she felt someone calling out for help. Confused she felt for a link with the mind she had heard and was surprised when her mind linked with Sage's.

  She saw Sage surrounded by mist, reaching out for her. She tried to grab hold of his hand but he was being pulled away, the mist swallowing him up.

  Emma broke the link, and stumbled away from Sage's body, calling out to Adam.

  "Adam, it's Sage." Emma said frantically. "His hearts stopped."
