Fox and Julian left to go to the hospital early the next morning. Julian's friend was going to come early and check on Theresa. Fox hoped that she would be able to tell what happened to her since no one else knew what was wrong. Fox was happy to see the security gaurds outside of Theresa's room in the morning.

"Did you call for them?" Julian asked.

Fox nodded his head, "I can't take any risks."

Fox and Julian sat in Theresa's room waiting for Julian's friend to show up.

"Julian, it's good to see you again," the doctor said taking his hand.

"Lauren, this is my son, Fox."

"It's nice to meet you, Fox," she smiled.

"Same here." He said taking her hand. "This is Theresa, my girlfriend," he said pointing to her.

"I see. How did she end up in this coma?"

"Which one?" Fox asked.

"What do you mean? I'm sorry Julian really didn't fill my in all that well over the phone."

"Theresa was in a car accident. Someone was trying to kill her. She was in a coma, but the other day she was starting to come out of it. Then yesterday she slipped back into. No one knows exactly why. Do you think you could find out what happened?"

"I'm going to try my hardest, Fox. I'm going to be honest with you. From the charts that I've seen, your girlfriend is in pretty bad shape, but there's always hope that she'll pull through and be okay. I will try very hard to find out why she relapsed."

"Thank you." Fox said with a smile.

"Now, if you two could leave the room for a few moments. I'd like to run some tests that haven't been done yet."

"Of course," Julian said taking Fox into the waiting room with him.

About 20 minutes later Dr. Stephens came out.

"I should have the results back in an hour or so." She informed them.

"Thanks. Do you have any idea of what might have caused Theresa to fall back into her coma?"

"I think I know, but I don't want to say just what I think it is right now."

"I see. Well thanks again."

Theresa was at him getting ready for work when she heard a knock at her door.

"Coming!" She called.

Theresa answered her door, but no one was there. She noticed, from the corner of her eye, a letter on the ground. She looked at it and noticed that her name was across it. She picked it up and turned it over to open it. She closed the door behind her as she started reading the letter.

"Oh my God! No!" She cried out. "This can't be true! It can't be!"

Theresa rushed out of her house crying the whole way to the club.

"Theresa, what's wrong?" Janet asked becoming alarmed.

"Oh Janet! It's horrible! Look!" She said passing her the letter.

"Someone must have wrote it for kicks. Don't worry. I'm sure it ain't true."

Theresa was trying to stop crying. Her make-up was ruined now and the club opened in less than 30 minutes.

"It's true! Look at the pictures!" She handed Janet the pictures.

"Oh Theresa! I'm so sorry." Janet hugged Theresa. "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know. This is just so bad. I loved him and now to find this out about him."

Theresa and Janet turned around once they heard a knock at the door.

"Fox, you need to go." Janet said.

"What happened, Theresa?" He asked once his saw that she was crying.

"Janet, can you give us a minute?" Theresa asked.

Once Janet left the room, Theresa handed Fox the letter and the pictures.

"Is it true?" She cried. "Is it?"

Fox read the letter.

[i]Theresa,

You don't know whose sending you this, but I'm doing this for your own good. I'm sending this to you to let you know the truth about Fox Crane. He's a married man with three children. Rosemary, his oldest, is 8. James, the middle, is 6. And Katherine, his youngest, is 2. He's been married for 8 years now to Alice. Don't get involved with him uless you want to break up his family.[/i]

Before saying anything, Fox looked at the pictures. One was of him and Alice on their wedding day. The other was a recent picture of the whole family.

"Is it true?" Theresa cried.

Fox stared silent at her.

"Is it!?" She got louder.

"Yes," he said slowly and softly. "It is."

"Why didn't you tell me!?" She demanded to know.

"Because I didn't think it was improtant."

"Not important!? Fox, I loved you! I kissed you!"

"I'm sorry!"

"[i]Nothing[/i] you say will ever change how much I hate you. [i]Nothing[/i]"

"Theresa, please..."

"No!" Theresa said as she ran out of the club.

Fox chased after her. He knew that she was a wreck and that if she wasn't careful something bad could happen. Theresa jumped into a cab and took off. Fox found a cab himself and told the driver to follow Theresa's cab. They ended up outside of Ethan's house.

"What the hell is she doing here?" Fox asked himself.

Theresa ran inside and Fox followed her. Inside Ethan was holding a gun to Theresa's head.

"What the hell is going on here?" Fox asked.

"Oh nothing," Ethan laughed. "The little bitch is getting what she deserves."

"Ethan stop this crap!" Fox yelled. "Just leave her alone. She didn't do anything to you."

"She killed my daughter and now she's trying to break up your family!"

Theresa looked at Fox and pleaded him with her eyes to save her. Fox knew she was frightened for her life. He didn't know what to do, but he knew he must do something.

"Ethan, listen, just leave her alone. We can talk this all out."

"Screw talkin', Fox! This bitch has to pay."

Ethan moved the gun closer to Theresa's head which made Fox jump.

"Stop!"

"What are you gonna do about it?" Ethan asked.

"I'll kill you."

"Ha! I'd love to see that!"

Ethan suddenly threw Theresa aside on the floor, where Fox came to check on her.

"Are you okay?" He asked her.

"Yeah. What are we gonna do?"

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Ethan was now pointing the gun at Fox. When Fox noticed, he didn't act surprised. In fact he was pushing Ethan to shoot him.

"Do it, Ethan." He told him. "Or do you not have the guts to do it?"

"Shut up, Fox!" Ethan was more angry.

"Come on it, Ethan. What are you waiting for?"

Right then Ethan fired a shot, hitting Fox in his chest.

"Fox!" Theresa screamed.

Theresa wrapped her arms around Fox, who was bleeding heavily.

"Fox, help is on the way. Hold on."

"Theresa, if was aiming towards you." He told her.

"Thank you so much, Fox."

'Tell my family I love them."

"Fox, don't!" Theresa screamed, but it was too late.

Dr. Stephen's came back about an hour later with her test results.

"Did you find out what happened?" Fox asked anxiously.

"I did." She said taking off her glasses.

"And?" Julian asked.

"The reason Theresa slipped back into her coma was because her iv was comtaminated."

"How could that happen?" Julian asked.

"It wasn't a mistake. I did a little research. I looked through the hospital security tapes to see if somene did this one purpose."

"Was there someone?"

"Yes, Rebecca and Gwen Hotchkiss."

"I knew it!" Fox shouted. "Is Theresa going to be okay?"

"She should be okay as far as the whole contamination goes. But as for her coma, I'm not sure. There hasn't been much improvement since the contamination. There's also hope though."

"Thank you, Dr. Stephens."

"I'm going to kill them!" Fox shouted.

"Fox, I'm going to take care of this, so don't worry."

"How?"

"You'll see."
