Lona slid back onto the bed next to him, draping her arm around his shoulders.

"It's ok, it's gonna be ok." she soothed as she noticed Hook walk past them in a trance. He slid by the reception desk and Brenda stopped him.

"I'm very sorry Hook, i think you're coping with this brilliantly." She told him sympathetically and he looked at her, no compassion flashed across his face instead he stared at her coldly.

"Thanks." he finally said as he had no energy for a fight. She gave him a small smile which he didnt return as he walked past her and headed for the male restroom. When he got in there, he ran into one of the stalls, dropping his chart on the floor, not caring as it hit the ground with a loud clatter. He locked the door hastily and slid to the floor, dissolving to tears. He raised a hand to his forehead and shielded his face before letting out loud sobs and slowly cried himself a river.

Chris thought about what lona had said and she was right, it wouldnt be any better if it had been her so she thanked her friend and wiped her face before leaving the room and heading to the pay phones that were situated at the front of the hospital.

She tearfully dialed 911 and asked for the sherrif's office, her voice beginning to shake again.

"Hello ma'am, what's the problem?" the sherrif cheerily asked, making her want to hurl.

"Dr Stegman has just killed a colleague of mine." she choked, leaning closer to the phone box.

"Oh god, where are you ma'am? at kingdom hospital?" the man asked.

"Mm, yes." she answered, suddenly spotting a man in a white lab coat who was walking outside. This was no ordinary man, this was a man who took her breath away.

"hook?" she mumbled but was brought back to earth by the sound of the man's voice on the other end.

"wha?" she asked in a daze.

"I said who are you?" The man asked and for a minute she couldnt remember who she was.

"Erm, Chris Draper." she finally spoke and she placed the reciever back in its holder, before turning to walk back into the main hospital but was stopped by a bright line erupting from the ground in front of her, and the ground began to shake once more, causing her to reach out for the wall. Her hair was blown back with a gust of wind as the light flashed on and off, almost causing her to have a heart attack when Hook appeared in front of her. She began to feel a pounding head ache coming on and the room was spinning. As the blackness caved in on her, she fainted into his arms.

When she awoke, she looked up at Hook who was smiling.
"hey, too much wine for you." he laughed and she sat up, a confused look on her face.

"Sorry?" She asked, shaking her head. "What's the time?"

He checked his watch. "around 8."

She finally began to realise what had happened and her eyes widened.

"We have to get out." she ordered and he tilted his head.

"Why?" he almost laughed but stopped himself when he saw horror flash across her face.

"Because something bad's gonna happen at 10 past 8!" she exclaimed and he looked at his watch.

"chris it is 10 past." he answered and her eyes widened as she heard the door swing open and an angry stegman appeared waving a black gun around. She stood in front of hook, not willing to let him get hurt again. She had let him get hurt the first time and this was her only chance at changing history.

"Christine get out of the way!" Stegman ordered her but she felt tears sting her eyes.

"Get out!" Hook yelled in disbelief, was stegman really gonna shoot him?

When stegman thought he got a clear shot at hook's chest, he fired the gun but chris had jumped in front and caught the bullet in her shoulder. She keeled over and fell to the floor, her eyes barely open and her breaths coming out in sharp rasps. Stegman went into shock at the sight of her blood spilling out onto the floor and made a sharp exit whereas hook went about trying to save her life.
