Michael hurried over to Llanfair to see what was the matter with Vicki. When he got there Vicki was going from room to room spraying bug killer because she thought that they were crawling with ants. He looked at her closely and saw that her eyes were dilated and she seemed to be under the influence of something.

"Vicki?" Michael questioned, "When did you take your medication?"

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Vicki huffed her breathing starting to become labored.

"Mom are you ok?" Natalie asked, worried for Vicki's health.

Vicki had paled and had a hand to her chest but seemed more lucid. "No I don't think I am. I feel strange all of a sudden." As she finished her sentence she passed out on to the floor.

"Mom!" Natalie yelled as Michael dropped to his knees to check her pulse.

"Michael! Is she..?" Natalie said in a horrified whisper. Vicki looked so pale lying there on the floor. Natalie was scared to death.

Feeling a pulse though it was erratic Michael replied, "No but we need to get her to a hospital."

"I called for an ambulance. They will be here soon." John said soothingly. He had called an ambulance as soon as Vicki had collapsed.

Almost as soon as John finished his sentence the ambulance came screaming into the drive. Natalie rushed outside to direct the paramedics into the house and to Vicki.

"What's wrong with her Mike?" John asked his brother who was still checking over Vicki.

"I don't know John but it isn't good. This is very strange. Its almost like she was on some sort of hallucinogen. I've seen people react this way to PCP or sometimes even mushrooms." Michael said puzzled. Maybe it was a reaction to a new medication.

"Come on, its not like Vicki is going to be taking mushrooms or PCP. It has to be something else." John said not even considering that Vicki might be taking drugs like that.

"I know that John! I said that was what it looked like. Not that I thought that." Michael said exasperated.

"She is in here!" Natalie said rushing back into the room with the paramedics. They rushed to Vicki and Michael began to rattle off her symptoms and told them what he thought was wrong with her.

Natalie as they loaded Vicki into the ambulance Michael asked Natalie to tell him where Vicki's pills so he could bring them to make sure they were ok. Calling back to him that they were in the bathroom cabinet Natalie gave John a last look then jumped into the ambulance with Vicki.

John called Kevin to tell him what was going on before he and Michael headed to the hospital too.

When John and Michael arrived at the hospital the Buchanan clan was already there and waiting for word about Vicki, who had gone in to the ER right away. Natalie was sitting with Jessica talking quietly and John went over and sat down next to her. Taking her hand he stayed quiet, silently offering his strength to her.

Natalie smiled gratefully at him, "I'm so scared John. What if she doesn't make it?"

John pulled her close to him, "She'll make it. She's strong and has all of you here to support her."

Natalie hugged him close, needing his arms around her, "I hope so. I can't lose her. I just found her and I'm not ready to lose her yet." Getting choked up she buried her head in John's shoulder.

As John held Natalie he noticed a tall blond guy walking over to Jessica. Jessica looked up and jumped up and ran into his arms. "Nash! I'm so glad you came."

Natalie turned around in John's arms and smiled slightly. So this must be Nash. Jessica had started seeing him after she had broken up with Antonio and gone to New York to get away for a while.

Jessica hugged Nash for a minute then pulled back. Looking at Natalie and John, "Nash this is my twin sister Natalie and her husband John McBain." Nash shook both of their hands and said, "It's nice to meet you, though I wish it could have been under better circumstances."

Natalie was about to reply but Michael entered the room. Everyone gathered around Michael.

"What's wrong with my mother? Will she be OK?" Kevin asked as the rest of the group looked to Michael for the answer.

Michael took a deep breath and said, "Vicki was given the wrong medication and it reacted with another medication she was on. She'll be fine but I want to keep her over night for observation."

"How did the medications get mixed up?" Asa wanted to know.

"Sometime these things happen." Spencer said coming into the room to stand next to Michael. "Vicki will have to be very careful from now on about what pills she is taking."

"What are you doing here?" Kevin asked Spencer snappily. He didn't like the man and suspected him of breaking into B.E.

"Why Kevin, it's nice to see you too. I work here, remember?" Spencer said, smooth as silk. He hated the Buchanan's. They always thought that they could get away with anything.

Kevin just glared at him moodily. There was something off about that guy. In a way Kevin was surprised that he was related to David Vickers. David even hated the guy so there must be something wrong with him. Even Dorian, who had been singing his praises until just recently, changed her tune when it came to Spencer. In fact the only ones who seemed to like him were Michael McBain, Blair and Kelly.

Michael looked a Spencer with awe. He really looked up to the older Dr. He was very confident to bait Kevin Buchanan like that. Michael told Kevin and the rest of the Buchanan's that a pharmacist must have switched the pills on accident, which had Asa screaming for their job. Michael felt a little sorry for the poor guy who did it. But then he thought of how Vicki could have died and he didn't feel sorry for the person anymore.

Willow came rushing into the ER waiting room with Rex. Both headed straight for Natalie and John. Hugging Natalie Rex, "Is she ok?" wanted to know.

"What happened?" Willow asked. Looking around the Waiting room she took note of all the people there. Obviously this was a serious thing.Whenrex had gotten back to the office from a meeting with a client, there had been a message saying thatNatalie needed Rex and for him to hurry to the Hospital. Willowhad been there already for a doctor's appointment.She had been feeling sick lately and had almost passed out that morning. She suspected that she had the flu. Natalie had been throwing up and feeiling tired and sick latelyso Willow figured she got it from her.

"Apparently there was a mix up with Vicki's medication. It caused a reaction with the other things she was taking." John answered. Giving Willow a hug he went back to Natalie and put his arm back around her.

"How could that happen?" Rex asked. Weren't there precautions to guard against things like this happening? He wondered to himself.

"I don't know, but I aim to find out!" answered Asa from behind them. Natalie hugged him fiercely. "Oh Grandpa I thought she was gonna die!"

"Vicki is a strong woman. Nothing can keep her down for long." Asa stated in a matter-of-fact voice.

Around the corner the young man who had been watching the police station earlier was watching and listening. He knew that it was almost time to reveal him self. Wouldn't she be surprised when she saw him! Smiling to himself he continued to observe the gathering. 'Soon' he thought. 'Very soon.'
