Eric paced frantically around Hyde's bed; Hyde had finally fallen asleep and Eric didn't want to awake him. He thought to himself about the incident at the window. He knew that he saw Jackie. She looked as pale as a ghost. Was it actually Jackie or did he just imagined it was her? He hoped and prayed that he had just imagined it was Jackie. That's what it had to have been; him imagining her. He couldn't let Hyde know that he saw her. He would never let the issue go. If he knew that Eric had seen her as well, then he would never be able to move on. He would probably go as insane as Jackie did. He needed to tell Donna what he saw. She would be able to help him out with his confusion.

He dialed the number to his house and got a very tired Donna.

"Donna are you awake?" Eric asked her.

"Yes Eric. How else could I possibly be able to talk to you?" Donna asked him.

"Donna I think I saw something outside Hyde's room." Eric said to her.

"Yeah so, why are you calling me? Did it scare you?" Donna teased him.

"Donna I'm being really serious hear. I really saw something." Eric said to her.

"Are you going to be alright Eric?" Donna said mockingly over the phone.

"Donna I saw Jackie outside Hyde's window." Eric stated.

There was silence on the other end of the line. Eric waited for Donna to say something. It seemed like forever before she answered him.

"Eric are you on something? Is this some type of joke? If it is, then it's pretty sick of you." Donna angrily said.

"No Donna; this is not a joke I'm being serious hear. I'm joking at all. I saw Jackie outside Hyde's room." Eric said.

"Um....Eric I really don't know what to say. What did she look like?" Donna asked him.

"She looked dead." Eric said to her.

"So she was like a ghost. Did she say anything?" Donna asked him.

"No that was one of the weird things, besides seeing her; she just stared at me and motioned for me not to make any noises." Eric said.

"What does Hyde have to say about all of this?" Donna asked.

"Nothing he doesn't know that I saw her; but Donna, there is more to this story." Eric said to her.

"What more could there possibly be?" Donna asked him.

"Well Hyde saw her too." Eric said to her.

"He saw Jackie." Donna said skeptically.

"Yeah he saw her. In fact he saw her before me." Eric said to her.

"Okay Eric, where did Hyde see her?" Donna asked him.

"In his room; she came into his room. He said that she came through the door. I told him that he was wrong because I had just come down the hall and didn't see anybody. I thought that it was just the drugs that he was on until I saw her myself Donna. Then he asked me the thing that I had been dreading the most. He asked me if she was dead. I felt so horrible lying to him." Eric said to her.

"Eric you're such an ass! You should have told him the truth. Now you're doing exactly what Kitty was expecting you to do all along." Donna yelled at him.

"Donna what about Jackie? Do you think that she could still be alive?" Eric asked her.

"No I don't think she's alive. On the way home I had to keep telling myself that Jackie is really dead. That she is really gone. Eric it's been a long night. You probably were just imagining things. Go home and get some sleep. Oh I need you to do something for me. I have to warn you it's pretty weird, but I need you to do this for me and possibly for Hyde." Donna said to him.

"What is it.?" Eric asked her.

Donna and Eric talked for a while longer. He couldn't believe what she had asked him to do but agreed to do it anyways.

"I'm just afraid how Hyde's going to react to the news about Jackie." Eric said to her.

"What's wrong with Jackie? Is she alright?" Hyde asked which startled Eric.

"Hyde...wow...what are you doing out of bed? I mean how did you get out of bed?" Eric asked him.

"Well I figured that you were lying to me about something so I got up to check on Jackie my self. I don't know if I'm going to make it to her room. I'm feeling a bit dizzy. I didn't mean to spy on you; but, I want the truth. The more you keep whatever it is your hiding from me, the more I'm going to want to know. Just tell me what it is. I can handle whatever you're keeping from me." Hyde said to him.

"Hyde I'm not keeping anything from you. There's nothing wrong with Jackie." Eric said to him.

"That's a bunch of bull. If you're not keeping anything from me than answer me this, before I asked you if Jackie was asleep, you told me yes; I then asked you how you knew that she was asleep; and you said that you were definitely certain that she was asleep. Foreman, how do you know that she is definitely sleeping when you didn't even check on her before seeing me? Also why are you playing games with me?" Hyde asked him.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll tell you everything." Eric said to him.

Donna was waiting for the big explosion on the other end of the line.

"The truth is that Jackie's not alright." Eric said to him

"What's wrong with her?" Hyde asked.

"Listen Hyde let's finish this conversation in the morning; you very weak and tired." Eric said to him.

"What's wrong with Jackie?" Hyde asked persistently.

"Well, she's at my house and she's running a fever." Eric said to him.

"She's at your house after almost dying a few hours ago." Hyde said.

"Yes, yes she is." Eric said to him.

Eric then quickly got a nurse to take Hyde back to his room. Eric got back on the phone with Donna and told her that he had to go and talk to his mom about the situation with Hyde. Eric arrived back at the house at around ten thirty. He was surprised to see his mother up. She was pacing back in forth; she kept looking at the phone every few seconds. He didn't understand what was wrong with her; she had been acting so strangely ever since she told Donna and Eric about Jackie being dead.

He went into his old home and tapped Kitty on the shoulder startling her half to death.

"Mom what's going on? Why are you acting so scared?" Eric asked her.

"Not right now honey. I can't talk right now you need to go to bed right now. I just can't talk right now." Kitty said to him.

Eric left the room. Kitty began pacing back and forth again. The phone rang and Kitty jumped. She picked it up and said hello.

"Well, was I right?" Kitty asked.

The voice on the end said yes and Kitty couldn't believe it. Dr. Rose had indeed escaped from prison.
