Okay everybody. I was thinking of being mean and waiting till next week for an upload, because I really wanted to see more of your reviews on the previous chapter, but, heck, I had a strike of great luck today, and I am really happy, so I thought of softening up a little and give you a little happy time too.( I hope so)
So, there it is! Thanks to everybody.

Sabrina felt as though she was waking. But she wasn't. She could not. She heard Jill and Kelly talking to her but couldn't reply. It was too difficult. She felt someone take her hand, Jill, she guessed. She was too confused too think. Too scared. Too tired. She let herself get slowly erased.
She was somewhere else when she woke up. Everything was dim and fading away. She was on the floor. She got up and felt the warmth of the fire brush her cheeks. It was happening again. She could not let it happen again. She had to stop it. Do something... do...
In her ears came a distant high-pitched sound. A siren? Maybe. Or was it cardiograph? She was losing her again. Again. All over again.
Suddenly she was in a hospital room. She kept her mother's hand tightly hearing the sound of the cardiograph. She glanced as the line flattened and she shut her eyes.
And then everything went blank.
Jill and Kelly were just returning to Sabrina's room when they heard voices. A doctor came out and held them.
''Please wait outside.''
Kelly took a step forward. ''Is something the matter?''
''We must have made a mistake. We don't know just yet.''
''What do you mean?''
''It's about Miss Martinez. You'll have to wait.''
A nurse almost kicked the door open.
''She's back!''
''What?'' asked the doctor.
''She's back, her heart's back! But I think we're losing her again!''
''Bring in the AED! NOW!''
Kelly was once again pushed aside as a small cart got wheeled inside.
The door shut and they could only hear their voices.
''She's going into SCA!'' yelled the doctor.
Then something incomprehensible.
''We got a myocardial infarction!'' It was the nurse's voice again.
Jill pushed Kelly gently to get her attention.
''What's a myocardial infarction?''
''Heart attack.''
She looked at Kelly and raised an eyebrow. ''You don't have these if you're dead, do you?''
''I suppose not.''
''Then she's alive!''
''I don't know.''
''But-''
Kelly sighed and stretched upwards trying to understand what was going in there. ''Jill.''
''Sorry.''
They both stretched and shifted but weren't able to do anything more.
The nurse came out and they launched themselves to her.
''Whoa girls. Calm down.''
''Is she alive?'' demanded Jill holding her breath for the answer.
''She is. Just unconscious. And no. You can't see her.'' she smiled seeing Jill's reaction. ''Go get some sleep okay? You won't be able to see her till tomorrow morning.''
''What happened? They... they said she...''
''We know. Somehow her heart started on its own again. Look, things like this happen once in a lifetime, even for us here. You can't get in here now. Something might happen. Please go home and don't push her luck further. My shift is over. Do you need someone to take you home?''
''No, we're fine nurse...'' Jill paused to look at the small name tag on her chest.''...Morrison.''
''Okay then.''
The nurse walked away and the two girls stared at each other for a while, after rushing to a hug.
''She's alive!'' cried Jill bringing Kelly to smile.
She patted Jill's back. ''It's gonna be okay now. Don't worry. We'll be back here tomorrow morning to remind Sabrina how pathetic she looked.''
''She'll jump out of bed and chase us around till we drop...''
''That's what I'm hoping for.'' she laughed and turned around as she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Mary looked at her with curiosity.
''Did I miss something?''
''Sabrina made it!'' Jill yelled once more.
''How?''
''It's a long, long story. ''Kelly said and put her arm around Jill's shoulders laughing.
It was early in the morning when John Bosley came out of the local post office. The results paper of the chemical analysis laboratory in his hand confirmed his worse fears. He paced to his Ford Thunderbird and drove to the Munroe house. He stopped and waited till a green-eyed brunette walked out. According to Charlie she must be Garrett. He drove slowly to match her pace and stopped next to her the moment she was about to cross the street. He rolled down his window.
''Miss Garrett? Can we have a talk?''
She stopped walking, surprised, and looked at him.
''Who are you?'' she asked, with a mix of fear and curiosity.
''I want to talk to you about Miss Martinez.''
''Are you with the ones who-''
''I work for Charles Townsend. Could you please come in?''
''Charlie?''
''I believe you've met. Kind of, actually. So, would you mind?''
Kelly opened the door and sat on the passenger side. Bosley began driving slowly and then stopped somewhere out of sight. Kelly shifted positions uncomfortably.
''What is it mister...''
''Bosley, John Bosley.''
''So mister Bosley, what is going on?''
''I'm afraid you have a hint on that.''
''Is it related to Sabrina's...'' she paused to pick the words. ''...accident?''
''We both know it wasn't an accident miss Garrett. Neither was the cardiac arrest yesterday. Someone tried to kill her twice.''
''Have you been informed she is alive now?''
''Yes, Charlie called. But this doesn't mean she is safe. Now, I have a very interesting offer to make you. I think you can't deny it.''
John Lawson stretched his arms and zipped again his new doctor clothing. He sighed. He could have never imagined that this girl would survive that. Ah, well, he would give it one more shot. Who cared anyway?
Kelly kept staring to the street. Bosley kept talking.
''The results show that her IV had been injected with Phencyclidine.''
''I'm sorry?''
''PCP Miss Garrett. It's a drug. I assume you have heard of it.''
''I have, but why?''
''We believe she saw the face of her attacker. And now he doesn't want to be recognized.''
''But who? The shooter, or the other guy?''
''That's a terrific question.''
''So, you don't know?''
''Not really. That's why we need your help in this. PCP in high dosage leads, as you saw to convulsions, hallucination, paranoia, amnesia, schizophrenic episodes, suicide, and many, many more. There is no way we can now how will she be when she wakes up if she has been injected more than once, or in a very high dosage.''
''But why be injected more than once?''
''Exactly. I think the main reason is to lead to the subject's death by heart attack.''
''But... if it is like that... she can be attacked the minute we talk!''
''Exactly.''
''So, what do I have to do?''
''I will give further instructions in a minute, when Charlie calls us. In the meanwhile, do you know how PCP is called on the street?''
Kelly frowned. This man was weird. ''Huh?''
''Angel dust, Miss Garret. It is called Angel Dust.''
