Disclaimer: I only own XA/N
A/N: Ah, updates, yet again. Last night I updated because **gasp** I had absolutely NO homework!!! Once again, I have homework though, but it is Friday night!! I was actually supposed to be going to a football game, but we suck and it's raining; so no thank you. Consequently, I am home alone.....ah the sweet silence....Tomorrow/Tonight I will begin writing on the sequel to Drop to Zero. I sure hope that I can top this one...By the way, if you guys are curious as to where I got my inspiration for that story from, on October 28th, season 3 of 24 begins. Check it out, because it is stinking awesome......not to mention that Kiefer Sutherland (the guy who plays Jack, the main character) is pretty fine.....All right, on to XA/N!!!!!!!
XA/N: OK, so I DID try to kill Chris again....will I succeed??????
"CHRIS!!!!!!" Lizzie screamed. Everyone had dropped their hands by this time, and they were beginning to become visible again. All of the XA/Nites were standing in the middle of a cornfield. Well, all except for Chris, which we established last chapter....
JB knelt next to Lizzie, who was sobbing on her knees.
"Don't try to console me, it's not going to work. I'm never going to see Chris again...."Lizzie said into her hands. JB put an arm around her. Rockie, Akila, Skittle, and Steph knew that there was nothing that any of them could do that would bring Chris back. Not unless JB had a trick up her sleeve, which more often than not, she did.
"There's something else you need to know about the world traveling thing, Lizzie," JB said softly. "There's a very possible chance that Chris DID end up in this world. He just isn't here in this exact location." Lizzie looked at her.
"How would we ever find him?"
"I think I can answer that one, JB, correct me if I'm wrong." Rockie said, stepping closer to Lizzie. "Where we came through is some kind of portal. If there's the possibility of ending up in other worlds, then there are obviously other portals out there, catching my drift?" Lizzie kind of nodded.
"So, JB, does this mean that if we find some kind of distinguishing thing about these portals, then we can possibly find another one, and find Chris?" Skittle asked. JB nodded and smiled.
"Couldn't have said it better myself."
"I could." Akila muttered.
"What was that?" Skittle asked, taunting Akila.
"OK, that's it, get your small ass over here so I can beat the living crap out of you!!!" Akila yelled.
"Sure, but on one condition." Skittle said.
"What?"
"You've gotta catch this small piece of ass first!!!!" Skittle screamed, taking off through the cornfield.
"GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE, CHEATER!!!!!" Akila screamed.
"Guess we should go and follow them, eh?" Lizzie asked, standing up. JB nodded, as did the rest of the guys.
"Might as well, we've got a long way to go."

Randy sat back in the uncomfortable hospital chair. This was the third day of him simply sitting there, and his back was beginning to tell him about it. Chris remained the same as he had the previous two days, lifeless and asleep. He had moved around a few times and his heart rate had shot up a little, but other than that, he was doing extremely well for someone in a coma.
Even though Randy didn't know how you really COULD do well, if you're in a coma.
Shawn was taking the whole thing kind of hard, since he knew that he hadn't been there when Chris had been complaining about his nightmares earlier. Liz was also taking the whole coma thing kind of hard, which was expected because hell, she was engaged to the man.
Randy sighed and closed his eyes.
He wondered what Chris was thinking about. He wondered what it would be like to be in a coma and not know.
Or did you know, and not believe it until you woke up?
Randy let these thoughts run through his head as sleep claimed him.
*
He suddenly jolted awake when Shawn put a hand on his shoulder.
"What? What happened?" Randy asked, knowing that the look on Shawn's face was far from being a good one.
Shawn opened his mouth to speak several times, but no words would form. He bit down on his bottom lip and moved out of the way for Randy to see.
Liz was lying in a bed right next to Chris'.
"Jesus, she's cut up, what happened, and why didn't you wake me sooner?"
"She just got moved down out of ICU......She tried to kill herself, Randy." Shawn said gently. Randy closed his eyes for a moment. He took a deep breath and sighed.
"Shit."
"I found her in the bathroom about an hour ago, by that time, she had already lost a substantial amount of blood. It was...horrible to say the least....."
"Do you know why she did it?" Randy asked. Shawn looked away from Randy for a second. "You do, don't you? Did you tell the doctors?"
"God, no. They wouldn't understand. I was watching the news a while ago, and they said that...that Hunter's escaped from jail."
"What?!" Randy yelled.
"That's not all, though. The estimated time he escaped fits in almost perfectly when Chris said that he had escaped before going into the coma. It's kind of like the Twilight Zone around here. I sent Rebecca and Cameron over to Vince's place, he's supposed to look after them. I didn't want them to be alone, but I didn't know who else to trust." Shawn said. Randy nodded.
"Good call. Any news on when Chris or Liz are going to come around?"
"Liz should be awake in about an hour or so, when the drugs wear off, nothing about Chris yet. "
"Have to find a car....."Chris muttered in his sleep, startling both Shawn and Randy. They both gave each other a look and walked over to the bed cautiously.
"Car....getaway plan.....need to make them pay......need to make him sorry....heh....stupid bastards don't know what's coming......" Chris muttered in a very Hunter-like voice. "I'll make.....pay most of all......make him watch that tape over and over.....'til it's burned into his memory....." Shawn looked at Randy.
"No, that is not right and it is not possible," Randy said, knowing what Shawn was thinking.
"I think that it is possible. Chris knows Hunter's thoughts. He's taking those thoughts and talking about them out loud. The question is, can Hunter do the same?" Shawn asked to himself more so than to Randy. Randy turned to look down at Chris again, but found himself face to face with him.
"Holy shit!!" Randy screamed, stumbling backwards. Chris' eyes were dilated to the point where only little slivers of blue showed through. Quite a scary sight to come into contact with when you're not expecting it. His eyes were wide open and his face a menacing look on it.
"I'll get them all." Chris said in the Hunter voice again. "I'll kill them too, every last one of them...." He blinked a few times until a regular expression was back on his face. His eyes contracted back to the light, and he sat back. He put his hands to his head.
"Jesus...." he said to himself, rubbing his temples. "What the hell was that?"
Shawn and Randy just exchanged another glance.
One that said the exact thing that Chris had just muttered to himself.
