Friday

Neela backed up her back hitting the counter," I-I should go," she said.

" I don't want you to," he replied not taking his eyes off of her.

" I'm sorry. I need to," she said slipping past him and grabbing her coat and purse as she left.

He watched her go wanting so badly to go after her, but knew that he shouldn't. What was wrong with him? He shook his head reaching to turn the kitchen light off, and head into the bedroom.

(Friday Morning- Two Weeks Later)

Ray was grabbing coffee to go from the kitchen, when Lexi walked into the kitchen. " Morning beautiful," he said w/ a smile.

" Morning," Lexi replied grabbing a glass for juice, she looked like she hadn't gotten any sleep and was slightly pale.

"You okay?"

" Yeah," she said," just need something to eat."

"You going to work then?" he asked pouring some juice for her.

" Thanks. Yeah I'm going in," she replied sipping her juice. " When are you getting off?"

" I should be in around 11," he replied as he took a sip of his coffee," will you be okay til then?"

" Yeah. I'll probably come back and grab a bite to eat and then sleep."

"Alright. I'll try not to wake you when I get in," he promised, he leaned in kissing her softly." And try not to work too hard."

" Okay," she promised as she kissed him back.

(Starbucks- Around The Corner From County)

Samantha " Sam" Taggert stopped in the Starbucks to order a coffee.

Lexi, worked behind the counter there and saw her," Hey Sam, " she said w/a friendly smile." what can I get you today?"

Sam smiled," Hey Lexi. Uh a grande Caramel Macchiato," she said.

"Coming right up," she said turning to began preparing the drink. About a quarter of the way through making the drink she felt dizzy and stopped what she was doing.

"Are you okay?" Sam asked worried.

"Yeah. I'm fine," Lexi waved it off taking a deep breath and continued to make the drink. She poured it in the paper cup putting the lid on, she turned to ring up the drink. Before she made it to the register she passed out.

Sam quickly moved around the back of the counter, not really caring that customers weren't supposed to be on that side. She checked for a pulse before getting the help of a few EMTs who were drinking coffee nearby.

(At County)

Sam rushed in with the EMTs," 23 year old Female! Got slightly dizzy and then passed out," she said.

Ray turned," I got…." he trailed off in shock, seeing his wife laying on the gurney.

"Where's Luka? Abby? Anyone?" Sam asked wheeling the gurney into a room so they could examine her.

"All of them are tied up," Ray said when he found his voice," what happened?"
