Chapter 1

Bethesda, Maryland

The request ended up on the desk of Dr.Stephan Conner, head of a specialized rapid response team. Stephan read over the request, sketchy as it the details were. People were falling ill of what appeared to be a particularly virulent strain of influenza. So far the victims had been only nursing home residents and staff. But in a city as large as San Francisco, one infected person could easily spread it among the general population. And if they weren't careful, they could easily end up with a major outbreak on their hands. That was a worst case scenario nobody wanted to consider.

The request was marked high priority And Stephan knew it was time to mobilize the team. Reaching in his drawer, he pulled out a list of pager numbers and began dialing. .The sooner they could be called in, the sooner they'd be one step closer to dealing with the disease.

A/N The chapters will get longer I promise. I was just setting it up.
