Chapter 1
Shawn Farrell is sitting in his bedroom at the 4400 clinic. He is tired after a long day of arguing with Jordan Collier and decides that the only place that he will be safe is in his living quarters. He jumps up from his bed hearing a rattling of keys at his door. He smiles knowing that Jordan once again needs him to prevent the spasms. Shawn walks to the door and sees Jordan. His cold hand grabs Shawn's; Jordan's eyes are bloodshot and he looks like he is suffering.
"Jordan, c'mon man. This is getting worse and worse. Where is the baby? I thought that you told Richard and Lily to bring the baby! What the heck happened?" Shawn screamed.
Shawn runs down the stairs and into the lobby of the 4400 center. He is panicking now as the moments are ticking away as his friend, Jordan is suffering upstairs.
Maia is smiling oddly in the living room as her new mother, Diana Skouris, is preparing dinner. Diana brings a salad to the table at looks oddly at Maia. She sits down knowing the Maia would tell her any minute what she knew. Maia places a few pieces of lettuce and a cucumber on her plate but doesn't touch it.
Maia looks down still smiling," Mommy, you're going to fall in love with Tom today…"
Diana looks back at Mya and blushes slightly.
"Your visions again Mya? Well, I doubt that this one is right."
Tom is sitting at his desk at the NTAC office talking on the phone with his son, Kyle. He seems patient with him but there is sternness also. He hears a click on the other side and slams the phone to the receiver just as Diana walks in.
"Tom, it will be okay. Kyle's just frustrated that you went back to your old ways. You need to spend more time with him Tom."
Tom glances at Diana.
"Don't tell me what I should and shouldn't do about Kyle, Diana. He's my son!"
She sits down in a chair next to him and smiles sweetly. Maia was right, she was falling for him. Tom takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.
"Sorry, Diana, really I didn't mean to raise my voice. Things have been pretty ruff around the edges and I might need to take a little bit of time off. But for now I'll just come home a little early. Listen, I'm worried about Shawn. I haven't seen him in a while and after the nonsense with Collier I think he might've joined the wrong group of people."
