You know when it's playing and you're hearing it. And I promise you the next few chapters will be your fav's May angels lead you in:

They had brought Shalimar to Sanctuary. They were all waiting outside the lab. Brennen was pacing up and down in front of the door. Jesse was standing leaning against the door jam. He longed to be pacing like Brennen. But he had to be calm. He had to maintain control. He had to be strong, for Shalimar. Emma was near Jesse. She could sense his fear and she was afraid too. It was Shalimar. They all were scared.

**** Adam had been testing her for hours. He had discovered something. He knew Gabriel had done this to her. The burns on her arms were severe enough. . .
"Damn you Gabriel, why her?" Adam knew he had to tell the others, but he didn't know what to say. This was his little girl. He couldn't admit that he didn't know what to do. He was scared. Adam walked out and faced the group. Brennen was the first to speak
"How bad is it Adam?" They all looked at him expectantly. This wasn't fair. He was supposed to have all the answers. He created them, he was supposed to know how to cure them, but he didn't.
"She has critical burns on her arms and legs, a severe concussion which results in her being unconscious. . ." He couldn't tell them. This was the worst thing he could have ever found out. He couldn't let them know just how bad it really was. Emma, as usual, knew something was up.
"Adam? What is it? What aren't you telling us?" They all turned toward him. There was something else. Adam heaved a big sigh and told them what he wished he didn't have to.
"Ashlocke did something that none of us could have predicted . . . at some point during their fight he injected Shalimar with a virus-"
"A virus?!" Brennen was scared. More scared than he had ever been." What kind of virus?"
"I'm not sure"
"Well, be sure Adam"
"Brennen, just clam down. . . This is a virus that attacks the lymph system, which is the system designed to fight off infection. It feeds off of all the other systems. I've never seen anything like it"
"I don't care if you seen it Adam, can you cure it!?" Brennen was at patience end. He wanted, no needed to know
"Brennen, hold on let him finish" Jesse calmly said. Brennen backed off, for now, and Adam continued,
"I-I don't know how to cure it."
"So, so you'll just find a way, right?" Brennen was clinging to that last piece of hope.
"I don't know if I can. And if I don't find one soon. . ." Adam looked down. He couldn't finish, couldn't say it. Jesse did it for him
"So Adam, what you're saying is that-that Shal might die?" His face was a mask of pain. No, Shal couldn't die. She was the strongest of them all. Adam looked up, there were tears in his strong eyes
"Yes"
