More action to come. Things are coming to a head.

Gwen knelt down beside Gina who was barely conscious. She was making wimpering noises.

"You're okay Gina," Gwen kept saying over and over. "You're going to be okay." Alex stood above her.

"I need to examine her!" Alex cried out.

"No you are far too emotional," Gwen replied. Gwen had some EMT experience, so she continued to administer some treatment to Gina.

"The helo's on it's way," Jack informed. He had come running back up. "What do you need me to do?"

"I need you to take care of Lyla," Gwen advised. Jack nodded and returned to the small house.

Lyla was sitting in her chair her eyes glossed over staring at the wall. She was holding herself rocking back and forth. Jack's heart went out to the girl. He had seen this type of seen quite a bit as an agent, but he knew that common citizens were not accustomed to seeing things like this.

"Is she going to be okay?" Lyla asked without looking away from the spot in the wall. Jack knelt down in front of her.

"It's too soon to tell yet," Jack soothed. "Lyla are you okay?" Lyla shook her head. She wondered how Jack could be so calm. She had never seen anything like that. When she had seen Gina on the ground after being attacked, everything seemed to stop. She looked into Jack's calm eyes.

"How are you so calm?" Lyla asked. "How can you not be freaking out?" Jack sighed. He wasn't sure what to tell her.

"I guess you could say I've seen a lot of things in my life," Jack replied.

"From living on the streets?" Lyla asked. Jack swallowed past the knot in his throat. For whatever reason he no longer wanted to lie to this woman. But he had to. To protect himself and now to protect her. It was clear that Vaughn was becoming more and more of a loose cannon. He could no live with Lyla being hurt because she knew too much.

"Yes," he answered.

"Jack, will you stay here with me tonight?" Lyla asked.

"Of course," Jack replied.

Rachel allowed herself to be led by a servant into a large room. She was amazed by the size of the place. It made Amir's house in Echo Town appear like it was a small shack. Thankfully, the King and Queen had been much more receptive than Amir's younger sister. Rachel didn't need any help feeling inferior, she already felt like that on her own. Rachel still couldn't be sure if she was her own person or a replication of another.

"Here is your room miss," the servant replied. He smiled sweetly at Rachel. "Can I get you anything?"

"Oh no," Rachel answered. She already felt a bit out of place being led around by a servant. "Thank you for your hospitality."

"You're very welcome," the servant replied. She detected a hint of surprise in his voice. "Please let me know if you need anything."

Rachel smiled. With the exception of Amir's sister had been so pleasant to her. She could almost relax. There was a light knock on the door. Rachel walked over to answer it. Sanjay stood in the doorway with a tray of tea.

"I imagine you are exhausted after all that travel, I have prepared some tea for you," Sanjay informed. Rachel found herself blushing.

"Thank you," Rachel mumbled. She allowed Sanjay into her room. He set the tea on the night stand next to her bed. Rachel sat down on the bed next to him. She couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement at her proximity to him. He brought out all her nerves.

"Is something the matter?" Sanjay asked.

"No, you just make me nervous," Rachel answered without thinking. She quickly covered her mouth. Why had she said that. Sanjay just chuckled softly.

"I do not wish to make you nervous," Sanjay soothed. He placed his hand on top of Rachel's. Rachel looked up at him. Feelings of self consciousness and anticipation raced through her head. She couldn't control her erratic heartbeat. Sanjay's head drew closer to hers.

The door suddenly flew open and Amir stood in the doorway.

"Dinner is ready," Amir announced. Rachel fought against the disappointment. The moment was now gone.

"Let us proceed to dinner," Sanjay replied.

"You've crossed a line!" Alex shouted at Vaughn. Alex could handle a lot of things, but this was too much. Seeing Gina in that state made him angry. "If you think I am going to provide an alibi for you, you are sorely mistaken."

"Do I need to remind you what is at stake?" Vaughn threatened.

"It no longer matters, all I've ever done was for her!" Alex shouted. Vaughn grabbed Alex's collar.

"You are walking a dangerous line here," Vaughn advised. Alex didn't care. Vaughn could threaten him all he wanted at this point, Alex no longer cared. He was too worried about Gina.

"No you are," Alex countered. "I have accepted that my reputation is over, but you, you are on the hook for so much more."

"You realize I could get rid of you?" Vaughn threatened.

At that moment there was a knock on the Sanatorium door.

"Doctor it's Gwen!" a voice from behind the door called out. Vaughn released Alex's collar. Vaughn grumbled angrily at Alex. Alex walked towards the door.

"Good afternoon Alex," Gwen greeted. "I just have a few questions for you." Alex glanced back at Vaughn.

"Let me come with you to your office, I'll tell you everything I know."
