Infected
Chapter Three
A rescue wasn't good enough
They continued to crawl through the crawl space until they heard Jesse scream again.
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
They began crawling as fast as they could in the confined space. Reaching the end of the crawl space, they hit a metal grading. It was the last obstacle between them and Jesse besides the people attacking him. Brennan pulled and pushed against the grading, but it didn't move, more screaming continued to echo through out the corridor.
" Get down"
Lexa fired a laser blast at the small metal grading. It fell to the ground and Brennan was able to crawl out while charging his electricity. He fired at the two doctors and was about to get the other two when Shalimar and Lexa attacked them. Lexa attacked the doctors while Shalimar ran to Jesse's aid. Jesse slumped to the ground with his friends all around him.
"Jess"
He moaned, trying to stand. Only to fall.
"Whoa Jess take it easy"
Brennan was scared he had never seen Jesse look this bad. Lexa was amazed that he was actually conscious, his eyes were closed, but he was awake.
Once again, Jesse tried to get up, with is eyes still closed he didn't know his friends were even there. Brennan walked over to Jesse and slowly put a hand on his shoulder. Jesse stood straight up, much to his friend's amazements. He threw punches in any which way, Brennan of course blocked the flailing attempts of his friend. Jesse slowed, his arms tiring soon he fell forward, and Brennan caught his distressed friend placing him on the floor gently.
" Its us Jess, its us"
Jesses tension released after they spoke. Jesse fell limp in Brennan lap. Shaking him lightly, he spoke.
" Jess, Jess"
Jesse had tears in his eyes. Then fell into utter darkness.
Lexa examined Jesse while Shalimar was trying to make him comfortable in the double helix.
" Man by all accounts he should be-"
"DON'T!"
Shalimar shouted.
"We need to get him back to sanctuary we can treat his wounds there"
When they got back to sanctuary Shalimar and Lexa worked for hours patching Jesse's wounds.
" Amazing, three broken ribs, a concussion, multiple cuts and abrasions. Along with two gashes, one in his thigh and one in his chest. The only thing odd is a small red sore that turned dark blue now it's a normal color of skin, well have to watch that."
Shalimar had been scowling at Lexa who for the last couple of minutes had been recording her findings. Shalimar was changing one of his bandages when he moved.
" Lexa- he's waking get Bren"
Brennan arrived just in time for Jesse to open his eyes. Slowly his eyelids opened and closed before finally staying open.
"Shal-"
His voice cracking while trying to get her near him.
"I'm right here Jess, just relax"
He didn't exactly listen, because being male he tried immediately to get up.
"aaaah"
He fell back down to the bed clutching his ribs.
"Jess lay still"
They tried to comfort him until the pain subsided.
" Its all in play now, Jesse Kilmartin is one of my creatures. He belongs to me now"
The figure laughed while watching some of his creatures rip apart a cow.
A few days later
Shalimar stayed with Jesse for five days. Finally, he was able to get out of the lab.
" Take it easy Jess"
He nodded and went to his room. Shalimar had noticed a change in Jesse's attitude lately. He was more aggressive and distant. She shrugged it off as tiredness. After what he had been through, she decided to drop the subject.
As Jesse was walking down the hallway Brennan caught up with him.
"Hey, how ya feelin"
"Why does everybody have to ask me that, I'm PEACHY just PEACHY"
Brennan stopped immediately while Jesse stormed off to his room.
"What did I say?"
A few hours later
" Yeah and then he stormed off."
Shalimar entered the dinning room where Lexa and Brennan were talking.
"Yeah he threw things at me when I knocked on his door."
Shalimar steadily approached.
"Hey guys what's up"
They turned and looked at Shalimar, then spoke in unison.
"JESSE"
Shalimar fell off the back of the sofa; she had been sitting on absent mindly.
"What do you mean"
Lexa helped Shalimar up and then they all watched as Jesse entered the room and went to the refrigerator, just through the other room. He opened the cold metal door. Jesse stood there for a couple of minutes until Shalimar spoke.
"Hey, Jess are ya ok"
He turned towards the group and then wobbled to the side, trying to catch his grip on the counter, it didn't work. With a loud thud, Jesse collapsed to the cold floor.
"JESSE"
They ran over to their fallen comrade.
" He's unconscious"
Brennan looked over his very pale friend.
"Let's get him to the lab-NOW"
