Updates coming up more frequently. I got a little stuck with the medical terminology and such but all clear sailing now and i have seemed to have calmed down my plot bunnies by giving them a message board (Adam whumpage a plenty). Lets hope we catch this biiatch before they take down more of the team.

Sheldon, just couldn't hack it, or should I say his stomach couldn't.

He turned around and pushed past his co-workers and headed for the nearest restroom.

He hurled up everything that was in there.

He flushed the toilet than headed for the sink, he looked at himself in the mirror, and just couldn't understand why, he had seen many corpses and gruesome injuries in his line of work but he couldn't remember feeling this way, ever and it unnerved him.

He washed his hands until they were sore and then some.

He quickly splashed some water on his face then rejoined the others.

*Adam's*Room*

No-one dared ask anyone if they were alright as this would spark off all their emotions ones which seemed to be ticking on a time bomb and ready to blow.

They all brought seats into Adams room so they could all sit.

They stayed there for at least an hour or two, mostly in stunned silence. They all had a moment where they thought they saw a response from Adam but their eyes were playing tricks on themselves.

Slowly one by one they left until there was just Mac, Sheldon and Adam of course.

Mac stood up and put his hand on Hawkes' shoulder, "Why don't you go home and get some rest? I'll stay with Adam".

"ok" he said in defeat. All he wanted to do was have a shower and change out of his clothes, sleep though, was not in his mind. As far as he was concerned he was coming straight back as soon as he was clean.

Mac stayed by Adam's side for a good two hours before he fell asleep.

(and Hawkes also fell asleep on his bed)

*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*NY*

He awoke to the loud deep tone of someone flat lining, not just anyone, Adam.

Mac's eyes shot open and he jumped right out of the chair and headed for Adam. But before he could touch the call button a swarm of doctors and nurses came in and began to assess the situation.

Mac was forced outside by a nurse but he was more interested in Adam's current condition rather than the nurse who was saying things, but he didn't listen to a word of it.

Then nurse left him outside while she went back in.

Through the little windows on the doors he couldn't see Adam's heart monitor, but when they pulled out the defibrillator he didn't need to.

He saw all the medical staff step back and forth from Adam as the doctor repeatedly shocked Adam.

Mac was horrified by the sight but he couldn't bring himself to look away.

Before Mac could see if Adam was alive or not the main physician came out and took Mac slightly away from the doors.

Before the doctor could even open his mouth Mac started talking.

"Doctor, please, just tell me if he is ok"

"We managed to bring Mr Ross back but we have found signs of more internal bleeding, and we need to take him back into surgery to fix it...But he is in critical condition and I fear more surgery could be life-threatening".

"Adam's a fighter, he's strong enough to pull through it, do what you have to do to help him pull through".

"If he has any family they should be here as his chances are less than 50% at the moment and the more time we waste the lower his chances get" The doctor said before walking down to surgery so he could start immediately.

Mac felt like he was drowning. All he could really do now is just sit back and watch, and more than anything, he hated being helpless.

In a matter of minutes Adam was being wheeled back into surgery and he could swear that he was getting paler by the minute.

As soon as Adam was in surgery Mac started to call everyone, updating them on his current situation, at this point he didn't know what else he should be doing.

After an hour Sheldon, Danny, and Lindsey had arrived. After a further half an hour the whole family was there, they knew they had jobs to do, but being them, they had a lot of time off saved up and didn't hesitate to use some.

They were all currently gathered round a large table each holding a cup of coffee which was now cold and none of which were completely empty. Whoever had done this was right, this did do the team a critical blow, and there was no way in hell that they were going to get away with it.

Adam is in critical condition. Is there any hope???

In the next few chapters hopefully the team will come up with some better leads, and nail this woman once and for all, or maybe it should be left open for sequel???
