"Maybe you won't..." Gillian whispered as Dr. Tolleth grabbed Cal and dragged him out of the room.
He stumbled through the hallways as Dr. Tolleth pulled him along. "Slow down mate!" Cal mumbled, holding his throbbing leg.
"This is really important!" He yelled back at him, stopping at a big lab, filled with mysterious beakers with mysterious liquids in them.
"What the bloody hell...?" Cal asked, staring at everything.
"This one... right here." Dr. Tolleth said, picking up a small beaker with green goey liquid in it. Cal stared at it and made a disgusted face.
"What does it do?"
"It will counter-attack all the little germ in your body. It is the same kind of germs." Cal looked at him like this were the worst idea ever. "Ugh... Have you ever heard of people putting snake venom in the medicine that treats snake bites?" Cal nodded, still lost. "Well that is what we are doing. We used some of your blood, put it in a rat to give it the same decease and then tried this on the rat... and it worked!" A big smile spread across his fafce and he waited for Cal's happy reaction.
"I am not drinking that shit." Was all Cal could say.
"This 'shit' could save your life." Dr. Tolleth said, brining up his hands for quotations.
Cal glared at him and examined it. "Yuck..." He whispered, moving it around through his hands.
"Just get it over with. And if it doesn't work... nevermind." he pushed the green liquid towards Cal more and nodded.
Cal brought it to his nose and took a whiff, "Dear God..." He mumbled, pulling it away from his head.
"Why would you smell it?" Dr. Tolleth asked.
"I don't know! Maybe if it smelled GOOD I wouldn't be so scared to drink it!" Cal yelled.
"Alright calm down... Just drink it!" He said quickly.
"Damn man..." Cal said annoyed. He brought it to his lips and cringed at the smell once again. "Here it goes..." He whispered, tipping it up and chugging it down quickly. He swallowed immediately and began coughing from the taste. "Holy fucking shit! Wot the bloody hell would make such a flavor?" He yelled, spit on the floor. "This is the worst fucking thing I have tasted in my whole fucking life! To think... the worst thing ever is going to be my bloody savior..." He mumbled, shaking his head.
"That sounded absolutely delightful... you must have loved it." Dr. Tolleth smiled and Cal glared at him.
"If this doesn't save my life... I am going to kill you." Cal shrugged and coughed again. "How long until we find out if it works or not?"
"I dunno... couple weeks?"
"But I only have one week."
"Then I guess if your dead in a week... it didn't work... and if you live for two more weeks... it probably did." He smiled and shrugged.
"Good enough for me." Cal chuckled and left.
Dr. Tolleth waved and watched him jog upstairs.
He smiled at Gillian and said, "That bloody shit was disgusting, but hopefully it will work."
"YES!" She screamed, jumping into his arms. He laughed and hugged her, spinning her around, ignoring the agonizing pain in his leg.
He buried his face in her hair and to his surprise, he began to cry, "I'm not gonna miss it... I am going to see my grandchild." He whispered. He stopped moving and just cried.
"Oh Cal..." Gillian whispered, patting his back, "You will..." She pulled away and looked at his red face. "Come here you." She laughed and gave him a nice long kiss.
She looked at him and brushed his hair from his face. She smiled and bit her lips, a tear slipping down her own face.
He laughed and she looked at his wet face. "I don't usually cry love." He said with a chuckle.
"I don't think I have ever seen you cry." She smiled and he shrugged.
"Don't hold it against me." He whispered.
"Oh you know I will." She took his hand and they walked out, "Should we go tell Emily the good news?"
"Of course." He smiled and walked with her, making sure that their hands stayed together. "Maybe I could get some pants on too? My other ones are kinda... bloody." He mumbled.
The doctor from before walked in with a pair of crutches and handed them to Cal, "I want you to use these for about two weeks or at least until it stops hurting, and ice it occasionally, especially if i swells or is hurting more than usual." He said, leaning the crutches on the table. "We threw away your jeans, so hopefully you didn't have anything amazingly important in them." He whispered.
"Naw I don't think so." Cal whispered, still tightly holding onto Gillian's hand. He grabbed the crutches and slipped them under his arms.
"Alright, well I am letting you go, don't get strung out on pain meds or anything." The doctor said, patting Cal's back.
"Don't worry doc." Cal smiled and limped out with Gillian. "I seriously need some pants." He said nervously under all the eyes staring at him. "They're laughing at me." He whispered. "Oh God."
"What Cal?" She asked, continueing to walk.
"I'm not gonna die! I can adopt Andrew!"
.:.
"How the hell did this happen?" Jack screamed, throwing whatever he could get his hands on at the walls.
Mitchel walked into the room and stood in the door way, "Jack..."
"How did they find the cure?" He yelled at Mitchel.
"Dad!" Mitchel screamed at him, running up to him and grabbing his shoulders.
Jack stared at him, panting through gritted teeth. "They" He pointed to the surprised people around them, "weren't supposed to know that!"
Mitchel stared at him. "Too late now." He whispered.
Jack looked at him and then turned around, "Well how the hell are we gonna get this bastard?" He asked everyone standing there. He threw is arms up and stared at them. "Ideas... c'mon!"
.:.
"You can't Cal. There is too much going on right now for you to have a son. I mean seriously... be rational." Gillian said, getting into her car and looked at Lightman.
"But... that kid will have to go to some family he has never met before and handle the death of his parents all alone with no one that even knows the real him!" Cal argued.
"Oh... and I guess that YOU know the real him?" She asked, starting the car.
"Yea... yea I do..." He whispered, buckling his seat belt. "Do you think... that Jack will come back?"
"Why would he? How would he know?"
"He has cameras everywhere... how could we possibly know?" Cal stared at the dashboard nervously. "Maybe I should die... I mean... that would end all this madness right?"
"Of course not... we just need to catch Jack." She assured him.
"Gillian! He will not stop until I am dead. He managed to get out... and he will again! There is nothing we can do! I have to die for it all to end."
"No you don't Cal. Seriously... it will be fine, we are going to your hosue so you can get your pants," She laughed and looked at him.
"Don't look down there!" He yelled, covering his crotch with his hands.
"Oh please... don't flatter yourself." She smiled and said, "And then we will go to my house and tell Em the good news."
"Gillian?"
"What?"
"What ever happened with Zoe?" He asked her.
"She was innocent, Jack forced her to say she was actually in on it just for your love. He had a gun to her head... she isn't the evil person that we thought the was." She laughed and looked at Cal, "No one has betrayed us... yet." She smiled.
"That's good. Why haven't we seen her?"
"I have and so has Emily and everyone else... I guess you were too busy being kidnapped and shooting yourself."
He playfully punched her shoulder and muttered, "WHy didn't anyone tell me?"
"Just one more thing to add to your stress? No thank you. You would have tried to talked to her about it and she would have gotten in the way."
"What the bloody hell are you on about?"
"Well I didn't tell you because I was worried she would come between us." She finally admitted.
"Interesting." He said, taking her hand in his and kissing it, "She never will."
