Robert sighed as he picked another book off the shelf in front of him and flipped through the pages. His eyes were starting to go blurry from the hours of reading he has done today. He rubbed his right eye as he looked at his surroundings through the other.

On the other side of the room was Spencer, picking up manila folders, flipping through them quickly before placing it down and grabbing another one. He had been standing there all day and with each folder he surveys, his patience is wearing thin.

The suffocating silence was disturbed when the door creaked open and a familiar redhead appeared. He glanced at everyone and mutely shook his head.

Nothing. They've got nothing.

Tala lowered his eyes to the ground and walked over to his lover, who had been looking up information on the small computer in the corner of the room. Claude stood up and fell into his lover's chest, grasping at the material of his shirt.

Robert sighed again and placed the book that he was holding back on the shelf. He leaned forward so his head rested against the shelf, feeling exhausted.

He was also feeling useless. He wanted to help Kai is some way, but knows that this was the best that he could do. Kai had been through so much in the short time that he had walked this earth, and yet still has the courage to move forward.

And if they can't find the antidote Kai will…

He will…

"Scared?"

Startled, Robert looked over his shoulder to see Spencer standing behind him. The tall, bulky blond looked as tired as he felt. This whole situation was taking it's toll on everyone. "…yes."

"Of what?"

"How fragile life can be." Robert whispered, turning his gaze away from Spencer to look at the book shelf once again.

"Kai will be ok." Spencer said, placing his hand on Robert's shoulder.

"I know." Robert whispered. "But…"

Suddenly the grip on his shoulder tighten and then Robert found himself standing in Spencer's arms. He blinked and looked up only to have Spencer's mouth close over his in a strong, desperate kiss. Lost in the kiss, Robert leaned into Spencer's chest just as needy for the reassuring kiss as Spencer is.

"We must not waste any time." Spencer said after pulling away.

Robert blinked, slightly dazed. "Right. We should all take chances."

"Of course, after all." Spencer replied as he gave the youth in his arms a gently squeeze. "Kai and Miguel did."

Robert smiled sadly. "And look what they managed to achieve."

"We'll achieve that too."

"I know." Robert whispered.

… … … … …

Aaron backed out of a alternative medicine store, thanking the owners as he clutched a bag of herbs to his chest. He sighed weary as he began walking towards the stadium. Ray had sent everyone out to get some specialized herbs. He said it was to keep Kai's temperature under control while Robert and the others find the antidote for whatever poison was affecting Kai.

"I don't see how these herbs are going to help save Kai." He muttered to himself. "Man, Miguel is really taking this hard. Of course he is, they're together now. Really quite close."

"Aaron!"

Aaron snapped his head up to see a short brunette suddenly throw himself into his chest panting hard. "Whoa, what? What's wrong?"

Wyatt grasped the fabric of his shirt in his two hands while he tried to get his breathing under control. "I know who poisoned Kai!"

"What! How did you-?"

"It was Tyson and some guy called Barthez-"

Aaron grabbed Wyatt by the shoulder to look at him properly. "Wait, did you say Barthez?"

Wyatt blinked. "You know him?"

"Unfortunately…" Aaron muttered darkly the he shook his head, causing his black dreadlocks to hit the side of his face. "Anyway, what did you say about Tyson?"

Wyatt swallowed. "Well, I overheard Tyson yelling at that guy, Barthez, telling him that he hit the wrong one, he was suppose to hit Miguel."

"Wait, that dart was meant for Miguel?" Aaron asked as he tried to take in this new piece of information. "Why would Tyson…?"

"He said that Kai belongs to him." Wyatt explained. "That guy said that he has an antidote and will give it to Tyson if he promised not to tell anyone. But then Tyson turned on the guy and said that he was going to blame him for everything so he'll look like a hero."

Aaron shook his head in disbelief. Tyson? It just sounds like something from the twilight zone. Tyson was one of Kai's friends, Miguel's too. "This is so wrong." He muttered.

"It's true!" Wyatt said desperately as tears begin to form in his hazel colored eyes.

"Ok, I believe you, I do." Aaron reassured, knowing that Wyatt doesn't even know Barthez so he wouldn't make something like this up. "Come on, we need to tell the others."

Wyatt nodded. "Right!"

Aaron grabbed Wyatt by the hand as the two of them ran towards the arena. Along the way they bumped into Ray and the others who had gathered just outside stadium parking lot.

"Aaron, hey did you…?" Ray began to ask, but stopped when he noticed another addition. "Wyatt?"

Aaron stopped in front of him, panting slightly. "We know who poisoned Kai."

"What!" Everyone exclaimed at the same time.

"Who?" Julia asked.

But Aaron waved her off. "We'll explain when he get back to Miguel and the others. Come on, we don't have much time." He said as he started running again. Everyone followed. "We need to beat him there."

"Who!" Ray asked, easily keeping up with him and Wyatt.

"Tyson." Aaron muttered.

"Tyson?"

"What does he have to do with this?" Michael asked from the back.

Aaron shook his head. "I said we'll explain everything later. Just hurry up."

"Ok."

… … … … …

A soft white cloth was placed in a cool bowl of water. Strong, tanned fingers gently folded the cloth together and squeezed out any excess water. Miguel sighed wearily as he placed the moisten cloth onto Kai's forehead, his fingers flittering over Kai's flushed skin. He pressed his hand against Kai's cheek when he felt him lean into his hand.

Miguel watched his lover through clouded eyes. "I swear if I ever find the one who did this to you, Kai." He whispered. "I'll make him pay."

Kai whimpered and rolled his side to the side, his face contorted in pain. He gave a soft mew of pain and a small tear rolled down his cheek.

"He'll pay." Miguel leaned forward and placed a gently kiss on Kai's cheek brushing away the tear. "For hurting the one I hold most precious to me."

Oh yes, there will be hell to pay.

Is the suspense killing you yet? (evil grin) In the next chapter Miguel and the Blitz boys find out.

Read and review please.
