for reviewing! Loving the reviews so thanks for them! : ) I'll try to update again Wednesday or Thursday and sorry for this being out so late…Civics Honors…what a drag…

"Jo calm down…" said Zane placing a hand on Jo's shoulder pushing her back down onto the bed, "We will figure this out."

Jo continued to hyperventilate until Sam pushed herself out of bed and walked over to Jo. Sam gestured for Zane to go away for a second before turning back to Jo saying, "Don't worry, Jo, Zane and I can figure this out… this is a town full of geniuses for crying out loud…" Jo paused for a second and Zane stepped back up to her bed.

"Jo-Jo, can I talk to you for a second?" Zane asked hesitantly. Sam stepped back to bed with a lot of help from Sean.

Zane POV

I can't believe I'm actually asking Jo this? Am I crazy…maybe I was infected too…I mean this is almost suicidal now that I think about it. Zane walked back over to where Sam and Jo were talking as soon as Jo took a breath.

"Jo-Jo, can I talk to you for a second?" I asked hoping Sam would take the hint.

I sat down in the chair beside her bed. "So how are you feeling? I mean…do you have any sores yet…is your fever getting worse?" I continued to ramble on until Jo shushed me.

"I'm fine…just please give me good news…" Jo said settling back down on the bed.

"I'm sorry Jo but I don't have any yet," I replied patting her on the shoulder, "but I'll get right back to work now." I got and walked away chancing a glance back I saw Jo look at me sadly and I suddenly felt as sad as she looked.

Why didn't she ever go out with me…? Now she looks like she wants to…something just seems off here ever since Founder's Day.

Sean helped Sam back to her bed and sat at the bottom of it. She suddenly said, "I need to get up to find a cure for Jo?"

"Sam your still weak…You can barely walk let alone work," Sean replied looking at her sternly.

"That's why your going to help me," Sam said smiling looking up at him.

"Ok, if that's what you want…" Sean replied smiling back and helping her back up putting an arm around her waist before lifting her up to carry her there. Sam looked up at him stunned but then smiled slightly before laying her head on his chest.

"Looks like someone's been working out," Sam said chuckling.

Sean just smiled down at her and walked off towards the lab Sam shared with Zane.

Zane and Sam were both typing furiously on computers switching between computers every couple of minutes. Sam was on a rolling chair so she could move without help. Even so, Sean was hovering over Sam like a mother with a baby and she was constantly telling him to move.

Suddenly Sam's head shot toppling the chair and herself. "I think I found a cure!" she cried getting back up gingerly ignoring Sean's gasping expression from her fall. "OMG, I think I found a cure!" she screamed. Zane hurried over and looked over her work.

"I think you did find a possible cure," he said talking slowly unsure if it would work, "but we need to check this out against my model."

"Can I go tell Jo?" asked Sam hopefully.

"Umm…I don't think you should yet," Zane replied searching his brain for a reason, "What if it doesn't work? Then you would have gotten Jo's hopes up for nothing… so just wait and see if it works on the model."

Jo was laying back in bed thinking of the conversation she and Zane had just had. He seemed to truly care just like when that bullet was found in my chest…maybe he is starting to care. "Allison," Jo called weakly trying to swing her legs out of bed so she could get up.

"Jo get back in bed this instant," Allison called backed hurrying to Jo's side. Allison settled her back in bed before saying, "What?"

"I was wondering if you could check to see how Sam and Zane are doing. A little while ago I thought I heard an excited scream so I'm just wondering what's happening," Jo finished hopefully looking up at Allison.

"Fine I'll go check," Allison replied smiling slightly before walking away. I hope they found something for Jo's sake, She thought.

Allison walked into Zane's lab and gestured to him and Sam to come over. "Did you find anything?" she asked hopefully. At the shake of their heads she brightened slightly and continued, "Jo heard you scream Sam so she thought you must have found something so she sent me over."

Zane's face visibly darkened before saying, "I didn't want Jo to find out unless we were sure it was going to work."

Allison replied, "Well what are you going to tell her?"

"Me?" snorted Zane, "Its Sam fault."

"Fine I'll tell her," Sam replied smirking back at Zane enjoying their banter.

Sam followed Allison back to the infirmary and settled herself in the chair beside Jo's bed. Jo looked over at her and smiled asking, "What did you find?"

"Well we found a possible cure and Zane is checking its viability right now as we speak," Sam replied thinking positively for Jo.

"Really?" Jo cried ecstatic. "You mean I'll be cured? This is such great news." She smiled even more before falling back on her pillow exhausted from her burst of energy.

Jo was slowly dozing off and Sam started to leave the infirmary before Zane came rushing in with a fake smile plastered on his face. When he saw Jo's sleeping figure the smile was gone and a grimace was left in its place. "The cure won't work, we need to keep looking because now she only has about four hours left give or take." Zane said rushing.

He looked up to see Jo awake and her face white as a sheet as she stuttered, "Four hours?" before breaking down in sobs.

Sorry you guys for this not being out on time….I'll make it up to you by definitely updating tomorrow! : ) Sorry again but please still update!
