Saving Her

Prologue Disclaimer: All I own is this storyline

"Clear!" Dr. Chris Ramsey shouted.

"Still no pulse, doctor," Colleen the nurse replied.

"Up the voltage to 360! Clear!"

"Still nothing, doctor. I think it's time to call it quits."

Chris let out an exasperated sigh and slowly nodded his head in agreement. Stripping of his gloves, he left the ER and headed for his office, leaving Colleen and the other nurses to handle matters with the deceased. When he got there, he collapsed into his chair, weary from the night's events.

It just doesn't make any sense, he thought. This is the ninth person this month! Now of course, he wasn't surprised that nine people had died, because that was normal at GH. It was what they had died from that got to him. All nine people with identical symptoms, for identical lengths of time. To make matters even stranger, the disease that seemed to be spreading like wildfire was completely foreign to all of the residents. They had never seen, read, or heard about it before. It was a complete mystery.

Most of the doctors reasoned that it was just a new epidemic they would have to deal with. But Chris knew better. He knew that nothing was ever as simple as it seemed in Port Charles. Especially not now.

Letting out another sigh as he picked up the phone. He was calling the one person who might be able to stop all of this.

"Hello, Rafe."
