Zoe sits by her dad's bed. Her eyes all red from crying all night. She sniffs, Lucas comes up to her with a cup of coffee and a bag. "This will make you feel better." he tried to get her to take it.
"Nothing will, not till I get my dad back."
"You have to eat something so when he gets better, you will be there for him." she sighed and took the muffin he placed in her hands. "Go on, one bite for me." he gave her the puppy eyed look.
"alright."
Allison, who was on the other side of Jack's bed, shook her head looking at Fargo. "I don't think there is anything that we can do for them." she glanced over at Tess's bed. "Just make them as comfortable as possible. I mean that we have tried everything." Fargo sighed. He knew that they did but it didn't make things easier on him. what if he does die, what if Tess dies all because of me. I did this to the two of them. Larry's right...It is always my fault. He could feel more tears coming on.I...what have I done?
"Your giving up!" Lucas cried. Zoe looked up at the two of them.
"There's one thing that my dad taught me was to never give up. There's got to be away." Zoe yelled not really meaning to just upset at all of this. "We have tried everything I know. I'm..." she lowered her head to. "I can't..." tears dripped from her eyes, as she leaned closer to her father. "I just won't..." She felt the tears sting her eyes and that got her thinking about water. Lucas watched as drips of her tears hit her fathers hand. A small puff of smoke wavered up. An idea popped in his head. He might not be the smartest one here but something's he had great ideas.
"what if we put them together." he threw out there. what could hurt it was an idea that none of them thought of and if they did they didn't say it.
"What?" Allison and Zoe said at the same time, while Henry and Fargo had shock looks.
"I'm not a brilliant scientist, well not yet, but you said that the Sheriff here was burning up and she," he pointed to Tess, "was ice cold right?"
"Yeah, what are you getting at?" Allison responded.
"Well, what happens when you put fire and ice together?"
"It melts." Fargo shot in. Duh everyone knows that. What's he getting at? what does fire and ice have to do with anything here?
"Opposites attract." Zoe shouted with ethusium.
"Exactly, fire melts ice and ice cools fire." He commented, Zoe saw Fargo's eyes, she knew that look, he was thinking.
"It might work." he suggested with some confidence as he shugged his shoulders some. "She's right about opposites attracting like the two sides of a magnet, it's worth a shot."
"But," Allison glanced at the two of her friends in the beds. "Wouldn't that be dangerous?"
Henry also had a look of concern, "Well they could burst for one thing." he sighed, "But on the other hand, it might just work. I mean what other choice do we have." he saw how the two of them where shaking. "Just look at them, we made...ok I did the last time Jack got hurt, I made a pact with him that I would do anything and everything in my power to help him. so..." he blinked his eyes. "having said that." He looked back over at them. "seeing Tess is still shivering and Jack over here is smoken' hot. This might be our last hope for them. We should try to make them at least comfortable."
"What could it hurt to try this one more thing." She heard Allison take a deep breath. "Please..." Zoe put on her best pleading puppy eyed look at both Allison then at Fargo. "Like Henry said it might be out last shot." Allison blinked and looked at her friends, she didn't want to loose either of them. Fargo knew that Allison was having a hard time in her decision.
"You want them to be as comfortable as possible right?" She shook her head yes. She turned to look at Henry and nodded. She held out her hand palms up and pointed them at him, as to say what do you think, can we pull this off. He nodded back.
"Let's do it then." she agreed.
