"How's he doing?" Jo asked in concern.

"It's bad. How much further?" I asked as we made our way down another hallway.

"Right at the end , Taggart's lab is on the left." Jo said moving beside me.

"Taggart?! He's supposed to save him , he hates Low-Jack." I said incredulously.

"He also happens to be the only one with animal medical knowledge." Jo pointed out.

I guess that was a good point , poor Low-Jack. He had once again been running out by the road , again he ran out in front of me. Only this time I hit him. For the smartest dog ever , he sure did stupid things. Now he would depend on Taggart to make him better. The man who had chased him relentlessly.

"Taggart we need your help." Jo said as we entered his lab.

"What can I do you for?" he asked , I laid Low-Jack on the table.

"He was hit by my jeep. I need you to help him. So put aside your issues with him." I told him.

"Wouldn't be much fun to get him when's he's like this , mate." Taggart replied. He pulled a canister from a cabinet and put on some funky goggles.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Nanoids , they'll repair the damage because they're programmed to. After they'll become dormant again." He explained.

"Well keep me updated , we have to go." I told him and left with Jo.

"This will interpret your thoughts and pull up whatever you need. It synchronizes with your cerebral cortex to anticipate your every need and want." Fargo explained as he placed something behind my left ear.

"Ow , should I trust you to be messing with my mind?" I asked as the pain diminished.

"No worries Dr. Stark. That was just the device piercing the skin." Fargo said , unconcerned.

"It looks like a melanoma." I said with a glare. Fargo scampered off.

The next few hours I watched as Fargo's mental mouse displayed my core feelings , heartbeat and respiration. Red for anger , green for jealousy , blue for sadness and white for lust. Currently red was in the lead. The stupid device kept pulling up info on gay relationships. Sure it would be useful , but not while I'm trying to work. I called Fargo.

"This stupid thing keeps pulling up the wrong things." I complained.

"What type of things sir?" he asked and I cast a glance at the newest addition , a gay Kama Sutra.

"That's not the point Fargo." I said in a cold tone.

"It'll even out once it maps your mind completely." He said , frustrated I hung up on him.

An hour later and it still hadn't stopped. By this point I was so pissed off the entire screen displaying my mood was red. I had an irresistible urge to smash the irritating device into tiny pieces.

"Dr. Stark." My thoughts were interrupted.

"Yes." I replied.

"Dr. Blake requested your presence." Just what I need.

I made my way to Allison's office , thankful that there wasn't a computer screen to display my subconscious thoughts. That thought was reinforced when I entered to see Carter and Jo already there.

"You rang?" I asked.

"Nathan we have an employee missing , Larry…..He was in the crawlspace in one of the labs to fix a computer problem , but he hasn't come out yet." Allison said.

"Maybe he's still working." I suggested.

"He called security and no one can reach him so Carter's going in , but he needs to ask you some questions first." Allison said.

"Why me?"

"You signed the authorization for him to go in."

"I was a little busy today."

"So do you remember seeing him?" Carter asked.

"No , hope you find him." I said.

"Well , I need to get back to handle running this nut house." I said.

Suddenly Taggart burst through the door.

"I want to help find Larry." He announced.

"In that case I'm going to go help Henry set up." Jo said.

"Set up for what?" Carter asked.

"The dance tonight , do you ever listen to anything?" she asked.

"Oh that. Right , really not too concerned with that since I'm not going ." He replied.

"No date?" Jo teased and I was listening intently for the answer.

"No Jo , no date. Now can we focus on the missing Larry." Carter shot back.

"Keep me updated." I said and walked out.

I made my way back to my office feeling happier. Carter didn't have a date , even if I wasn't going to ask him I was glad that no one else had. Now if this stupid mouse thing would work right. Sitting in front of the screen covered in gay porn made me want that even more. I looked up as my door opened and Larry walked in.

"How nice of you to show up , everyone's looking for you so you might want to inform them you're alive so they can get back to work." I told him. He just stood there.

"Earth to Larry , hello." I said impatient with the man already.

I locked eyes with him as I prepared to chew him out , but what I saw made the words die in my throat. His eyes were a strange , shimmering blue. He walked toward me and before I could react the world went black.

Just what I always wanted to do , crawl through a dark creepy tunnel with Taggart. At least I got to see Nathan , I had been worried about him since the death of Callister. It was nice being near him again , we still hadn't had time for breakfast together. Jo just had to bring up that damn dance.

I hate the things to begin with. Zoe's been after me to help set up , but things keep coming up. Well I arrange them to , but still. At least Allison rescued me with this case. That Spencer would have made me deaf with that tiny speaker , kids and their music.

"Oh god." Taggart exclaimed , bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Is that Larry?" I asked. The mangled body looked as though something had been eating on it.

"I think so."

"Let's get out of here and find Allison." I said.

It didn't take long to find her. Taggart left after we told her about Larry to check on Low-Jack. I went to join him when Allison headed off to update Nathan. I found him in his lab staring at Low-Jack. He was seriously strange.

"So how's he doing?" I asked.

"I don't know how he did it. He was out in the hall , then he was back in the cage. I just don't get…" Taggart started , I was confused.

"What?" I asked as he ran to the cabinet containing the nanoids.

"They're gone." He exclaimed , holding up the empty jar.

"They weren't activated , they shouldn't be able to escape. Oh god they ate Larry." He ranted.

"I thought they fixed things."

"They're supposed to , but whatever allowed them to escape has been commanding them." He replied.

I was about to freak out on the man when Allison walked in. She didn't look happy.

"I can't find Nathan now what?" Allison said seeing Taggart's face.

"My nanoids escaped and killed Larry. I tried to call them back , but they're not responding."

"Are you serious , we need to find them now! Can they get out of the building?" she asked.

"No the EM barrier will keep them contained." Taggart replied as he gathered up devices.

"The what?" I asked.

"GD has an electromagnetic barrier. If they try to pass it they'll be fried."

"So I guess it's back to the tunnels?" I asked dreading the answer.

"Yep I can track them with this." He said , holding up a device.

I caught sight of Low-Jack in his cage. Taggart and Allison were discussing containment. I remembered what Taggart had been ranting about before he discovered the missing nanoids. I had a thought and it wasn't good.

"Can the nanoids replicate anything? Like make themselves into something else?" I asked.

"It's possible , why?" Taggart asked. Damn it I hate being right sometimes.

"You saw Low-Jack in the hall then found him in his cage." I said.

"You don't think they're coping people do you?" Allison asked.

"I think it would explain why Taggart saw Low-Jack outside then back in his cage moments later." I told her. Her phone rang out at that moment.

"Allison Blake…when…I'm on my way." She said.

"They found Nathan , he's entered the control room. I don't think he's himself." She informed us as we headed to the control room. I was worried about Nathan , first Callister and now he may have been attacked.

"We need to get in there." Allison told the security team.

"We have a report of Dr. Stark in section 2 and section 4. Now in section 3 too." The lead man replied.

"That's all the shut off points for the EM field. They're trying to escape , we need to protect the town." Allison said.

"I'll call Jo. Is there any way to destroy these things?" I asked.

"We need to find the real Nathan. What was that thing he had on his neck earlier?" I asked.

"At least all that staring is being put to good use. I think Fargo knows." Allison said as she placed a call to get Fargo here. He was there in minutes.

"We need to find Dr. Stark. Do you know anything about the device he had on his neck?" I asked , he looked guilty at the question.

"I'm not in the mood to beat it out of you Fargo , but I will." I warned.

"I was testing my new project , the mental mouse. He was complaining that it was pulling up subjects that he wasn't looking for. I'm positive that nothing was wrong with it. What's going on anyway?" Fargo stammered out.

"Taggart's nanoids have escaped and are beyond his control. They made copies of Dr. Stark and broke out. They also killed Larry while he was working in the tunnels." Allison explained.

"Nanoids , oh no."

"What?" I asked and Fargo looked stricken.

"The mental mouse may have been working on the same frequency." He replied.

"Great , just great Fargo." Allison sighed.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"It means that the nanoids merged with the link to Nathan and that's why they're not responding , he's controlling them through the mental mouse."

"Well how do we find Nathan?" I asked impatiently. I was worried about him , he had been missing for a while now. Those damn naniods better not have hurt him.

"I think I found him." Taggart's voice broke through my thoughts.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"I picked up a signal in one of the tunnels when I was checking for any nanoids that got left behind. It's not moving though." Taggart explained.

"Let's go."

My heart was racing as we made our way into the tunnels. I was imagining every horrible scenario. He had to be okay , he just had to be. I needed him to be okay. I gasped as we reached the chamber Taggart had found the signal in.

Nathan was propped up against a wall. I rushed to his side , I let out a breath that I hadn't realized I was holding when I felt a pulse. We got him out and to the infirmary.

I waited impatiently as he was checked over. I nearly screamed with joy when I heard his voice. Allison , Taggart and Fargo were discussing how to stop the rogue nanoids when I was allowed to see him.

"Are you okay?" I asked as I walked to his side.

"I've been better. They told me what's been happening." He replied.

"They're trying to figure out how to stop them. I got Jo clearing the streets. I was worried about you." I said the last part quietly.

"I…" he started , but was cut off when Taggart entered.

"We have an idea. If we had a low signal , below human hearing it could destabilize the nanoids. We just need to get them all together and play the signal." He said.

"You'd need a giant speaker to do that." Nathan said.

"Maybe not , I have an idea." I smiled at Nathan.

I awoke in the infirmary , my head hurt like hell and I wanted to take a nap. Then Carter was there , he was a sight for sore eyes. I could see the concern in his eyes and it lifted my mood. When he voiced his concern I felt the warmth spread through me. I started to tell him how sorry I was that I had worried him. Taggart had really crappy timing.

Now we were at City Hall waiting for Carter to fill us in on his plan. I watched him as he ran around the room , he really was gorgeous.

"Okay Spencer's system can broadcast the signal now we need Nathan to bring his clones here." He said.

"Carter." Jo's voice came over his radio.

"Yeah Jo." He answered.

"Everyone's off the streets except about 20 Stark's." she replied.

"Okay thanks Jo." He said.

"I have an idea on how to get them here. I'll need your help Allison." Jack told us and I was curious how he planned to make me subconsciously call them.

"Okay." Allison said.

"Spencer some romantic music please , Allison may I have this dance." He asked.

I watched as he held her close. I really didn't want to see this. They moved elegantly in front of me , Carter was staring lovingly into her eyes and it was pissing me off.

"Okay this is not working." I told them and they ignored me.

What happened next pushed me over the edge. Carter leaned in and captured her lips in a tender kiss , I saw red. He wasn't supposed to be kissing her m he had been worried about me. Now he had his tongue down Allison's throat.

"It's working." Jo said over the radio.

"Okay you guys it worked you can stop now." I told them.

Carter immediately pulled back. I watched him stare at the floor completely embarrassed. I couldn't be mad when he was so cute. The doors burst open and I walked through , it was disorienting.

"Okay that's all of them!" Carter yelled as he tried to protect Allison and keep the clones off him. Spencer hit the signal and the clones started to explode. We all sighed in relief.

It had been a long day , worrying about Nathan , stopping an army of clones and kissing Allison. That was the hardest thing to do. Doing it in front of Nathan made it worse.

Now I was back at the scene of the crime. Zoe had bullied me into it. She argued that since I made such a mess that I was required to go. I just gave up and came.

""Having fun dad?" Zoe asked.

"I'm having a ball." I said sarcastically.

"Ha ha , I do have a bone to pick with you about earlier. Allison dad , really?" she gave me a pointed look.

"I needed to get Nathan upset enough to call his clones here. I took one for the team." I told her.

"You may have upset him more than you think. By the way never make out in front of me again." She told me , pointing to Nathan before moving away.

I spotted him across the room. He was sitting alone , drinking a glass of champagne. I watched as he stood and walked out. I quickly followed and caught up with him as he leaned against the rail at the gazebo. He was beautiful in the glow from the lights wrapped around the small building. I stood next to him.

"I didn't think you were coming." He said.

"Zoe blackmailed me." I told him.

"Oh , having fun?" he asked, I turned to look at him. He seemed happier.

"Not one bit , this is the best it's been all night." I told him.

"Really? And you're not even dancing." He said with a smile.

"Neither are you." I said.

"No one's asked." He said with a challenging look in his eye.

"Well we'll have to fix that won't we. May I have this dance?" I asked , holding a hand out for his.

He smiled and took my hand. I pulled him close to me , closer than I had held Allison. He gasped as he was pulled flush against my chest. We swayed to our own tune. Nathan held my hand and waist as we danced. I looked into his eyes and was stunned by the emotion swirling there.

I moved my hand from his shoulder and cupped his cheek. His eyes closed and a sigh passed his lips. He released my other hand and placed it on my cheek. Our other hands settled on the other's hip. I waited for him to open his eyes.

When he did I leaned in slowly. Finally my lips met his , his hand clenched at my side and I moaned as he pulled me closer. My hand wound into the hair at the nape of his neck and tugged lightly. I was rewarded with a moan.

I felt his tongue trace my lips and I parted them at once. The taste of Nathan was the greatest thing I had ever tasted. I was in total heaven , I had wanted this for so long. Finally we had to pull apart , oxygen was becoming an issue.

"Wow." I gasped out.

"Yeah." Nathan said.

"I've wanted to do that for a while now." I told him.

"Me too Jack , me too." Nathan replied.

We stayed outside talking for hours. I hated that the night had to end , but it ended perfectly. A kiss goodnight made it all better. I couldn't get rid of the smile on my face.

I dreamed of that kiss all night and more , way more. In all the time since meeting Nathan I had very few days that didn't begin with a Nathan induced erection.

The next morning I headed to Café' Diem to meet up with Nathan. I was hoping we could have breakfast but Nathan was nowhere to be found.
