Saving Her

It didn't take Rafe long to find Chris at the hospital. The man practically jumped on him when he got off the elevator.
"Rafe, there you are!" he exclaimed. "I've been waiting for you to get here!"
"Chris, you only called me 15 minutes ago," Rafe said in an amused tone. "You'd think I had magic powers and could move from place to place at the speed of light (()."
"Rafe, this isn't funny. We have a serious crisis on our hands! I don't need sarcasm!"
"Alright! Show me what you've got."
Chris led Rafe into the lab, locking the door behind them. He then pulled out the notes he had collected over the past month.
"Okay, here's what's happening. There seems to be some wacko disease flying around Port Charles that no one has ever seen before. The other day, we had the ninth person effected by it come in. He died right before I called you."
"Whoa," Rafe replied. "So I assume you called me because you think this has something to do with Port Charles's vampire infestation?"
"You've got it."
"Okay. Well, what else do you know about it?"
Chris let out another of what was rapidly becoming his trademark sigh. "It is really unusual. Although I guess I should be used to it, considering where I live. Anyway, it works like this. People complain about being increasingly dizzy for about 3 to 4 days. Then, when that stops, they get flu-like symptoms. And I mean the works. Head colds, fevers, vomiting."
"Okay Chris, I get the picture!"
"Right. That typically lasts for a week. Then, after that, these people get seizures. Really severe ones too. That seems to last for about a day or two. Finally, they fall into a coma. They stay like that for a couple of days before, well, you know, they die."
Chris looked up from his notes, expecting Rafe to look horrified, shocked, or even impressed that he had made the connection to the vampires. Instead, it appeared as though all of the color had drained from his face, and that he was lost in thought.

Alison was stumbling around their apartment.
"Alison!" Rafe cried as he entered the room. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know," she replied sheepishly. "I'm just really dizzy."
Without another word, Rafe picked Alison up and carried her over to the bed. He looked at her closely, concern evident in his eyes.
"Are you okay? Do you want me to call the doctor or-"
"No, Rafe, that's okay! I've probably just worn myself out with this whole fighting evil thing. I just need some rest."

"Hello, Earth to Rafe!" Chris called out in an annoyed voice. "Are you still there?"
Rafe's attention was brought back to the present. "Huh-oh, yeah. Well, that is some disease."
"Yeah. Do you know what it is? Does it ring any bells?"
"I'm not really sure. But we have to figure this out. And fast."
