Note: It's a bit slow at first but it will pick up...Honest!!!!
CHAPTER TWO
Alec carries Jesse inside he lies her on the sofa; she starts shaking violently and he holds her down he taps her gently on the cheek but she doesn't wake up as the shaking continues. He runs into the kitchen and grabs a dozen ice bags out of the fridge freezer, he goes back into the next room and packs the bags around her.
ALEC: Come one wake up.
She opens her eyes suddenly in panic; she grabs hold of him by the neck and pulls him towards her.
JESSE: Help me!
Her grip weakens and she closes her eyes again, the shaking gradually starts to stop. He picks up the phone and dials a number.
ALEC: Pick up.

Logan makes his way tiredly to the ringing phone.
LOGAN: I'm coming, I'm coming.
He reaches for the phone and picks it up.
LOGAN: Hello?
No one answers.
LOGAN: Hello?
* * *
Alec slams the door shut, the phone hanging off the hook.
* * *
Logan puts the phone back on the hook and goes back towards the kitchen; Max sits on a counter she looks at him as he comes in.
MAX: Who was it?
LOGAN: They didn't answer.
MAX: I should get going.
LOGAN: You don't have to.
She jumps down off the counter and walks towards the door.
MAX: It's late and I gotta get up early tomorrow.
LOGAN: See you tomorrow then?
MAX: Yeah, tomorrow.
He waits until she closed the door then retires to his room. Alec runs past Max in the hallway, she looks at him suprised to see him there.
MAX: Alec? What are you doing here?
ALEC: She needs help.
MAX: Who? What trouble are you in this time?
He knocks on the door.
ALEC: An old friend, I don't know how much longer she'll last Max, she's in a lot of trouble and I don't know how to help her.
She sees his worried face and knows something must be wrong. Logan opens the door and sees Alec first.
LOGAN: What are you doing here?
MAX: A friend of his in some kind trouble.
Logan looks at Max.
LOGAN: I didn't see you there; I thought...
ALEC: (Impatient) can you two love birds finish this later, I don't have all night.
* * *
Alec opens the door and lets Logan and Max inside out of the rain.
MAX: Where is she?
Alec looks at the sofa.
ALEC: She was right there...Jesse?
Logan stands by the sofa and looks around. He see's her huddled in a corner a blanket wrapped around her, she's shaking slightly, he walks over to her and kneels in front of her. She moves away from him as he checks her temperature.
ALEC: He's okay, he's here to help.
LOGAN: She's burning up!
Max walks to the front door.
MAX: Someone's coming.
She turns off the light and looks out of the curtains.
MAX: What the hell is he doing here?
Alec walks over to her.
ALEC: White.
MAX: He can't have followed us.
LOGAN: Look at this.
He holds up Jesse's limp arm.
MAX: A tracking chip...He must've stuck it inside her.
LOGAN: Let's get her out of here, then we need to get the chip out.
ALEC: We can't go to a regular doctor.
LOGAN: We don't need to.
Alec carries Jesse and they hurry toward the back way as the front door is smashed open and knockout gas is thrown into the rooms.
