Chapter 2

In a dingy apartment located in the outskirts of the Narrows Sarah sat with her legs drawn up to her chest on her cold hard wood floor, waiting for the hellish images to reside. Granted, they were no as vivid as they had been before she received the antidote, but it was a pain in the $$ not to be able to see straight. Hours of not being able to see straight would wear on anyone's nerves.

It was a wonder she had been able to make it back to her apartment and up four flights of rickety old stairs. Not to mention having to haul Dr. Crane up half slung over her shoulder. He was fairly light but so was she and it was four stories. But, after a few breaks, while gently propping Crane up against the nearest wall, they had made it up without incident.

Not twenty minutes after she had entered her apartment, laid Crane on the bed and taken a seat next to him resting her back against the wall, a knock at her front door had her bolting up off the bed. Slowly making her way to her front door, trying to avoid any pieces of furniture that might decide to jump out and trip her in her current state of mind, she opened the door to find a police officer holding her mortal enemy. Medication.

After he had expressed the drugs usage on counteracting the hallucinations he had opted to relieve her remaining sanity of the images and take the damn thing. After a quick story about her brother being asleep in the other room the officer left her another dosage for him.

She was partly surprised he didn't investigate, not knowing if she was a drug user or anything, but she chalked it up to lack of time on his part. She thanked the officer and shut her door was once more bolting it.

She then proceeded to make her way back the her bedroom, and rather then deciding no to resume her spot on the bed next to Crane she sank to the floor to wait out to drugs.

Sarah hoped the good Doctor would wake up soon; she had so many questions for him she had trouble clearing her flooded mind enough to o into a slight doze, listening with one ear for any sight of movement from the bed next to her.
