Alexia listened to them as they moved about in the building, trying to follow. She turned off her television set, and felt her way around. She heard murmering in another room, and followed in."Hey, what's all the commotion? We shouldn't get in a rush." she listened to them struggling with someone. "Is that man alright? If he's on the ground, use something to cover his mouth." she insisted. She could hear foaming."I really suggest you do."

Flick looked at the scene unfolding in front of him, and fell to his knees. What had he done? He raced to his bag, rummaged around in it, but found nothing that could help them. He didn't know what to do, and he had created the disease! He just wanted to curl up somewhere and die. His breathing became shallower. "Kill him," he whispered the first thing that came to his mind. "We don't know how to help him, so we have to kill him before anyone else gets hurt."

Alexia whirled around to face the person who had said that. "And who are you?" she asked. SHe listenened to the gasping breaths of the man that lay on the ground, and turned her blank eyes to the one who had spoken. "You're sure there isn't a way to save him?" she asked. "I can't exactly see what the heck is going on, but can't you guys at least try something instead of going through panic?" she asked.
Flick glared at Alexia. "Got any better idea? We don't know how to help this man. If we try, we might make it worse, or someone else might be bitten in the process!" he shouted, voice booming. He looked into his bag. "I might have something to make it fast and painless," he suggested, rummaging some more. His shaky hands didn't seem to go where he wanted them to, and they were slick with sweat. Maybe he didn't have anything, but there were ways to do the same thing with hand-to-hand contact.

Alexia went over and put her hand to the man's shouldier. He was trembling. "Do you at least need help?" she asked. "You might be able to find something like a sedative around here." she inquired. She let go of his shouldier and walked to the room exti, listening to the hall. No one was in it, so she strided down. She had to get to her cabinet. She heard the man still gasping for air. "Wait-I think I saw something like that on discovery channel." she murmered. "It had people infected with rabies-and instead of killing them, it took them over and caused them to kill and go mad." she remembered. "So-who ever made this disease had made another type of killer rabies-and like the one I saw, it takes over and manipulates the body." she thought. She raced down the hall way, bumping her head on the wall. "Right-never loet a blind person try to run a hall way." she muttered. She felt for the stair ase and rushed down it.
Flick stopped dead when he heard what the girl said. He turned and looked at John. He forced back tears. He was being pushed to the limit. He thought hard about what he could use for John, and a light came on inside his head. In his apartment, there was a sedative. He could use that. He flew up the stairs and into his room. He went through the bathroom closet which he had made into a chemical closet, and found it. He filled a syringe and headed back down to the main room. He was crazy. This wasn't happening. He didn't know if he could inject it right, his hands were shaking so hard.

Alexia heard the man rushing up the stairs. SHe muttered under her breath and tried to go after him, crashing into the wall every now and then. She found a long cane and started to feel around with it. Suddenly, she felt a strong pair of hands grip it-and heard wheezing. It sounded like a teenage boy. SHe heard foaming coming from his mouth and pushed him away. "RUN! An infected person is in the hall way!" she screamed. SHe backed up as he threw the stick away, unable to see if he ws going to leap at her or not. SHe heard him gasping for air. He was coming closer-and it sounded like he was already dead.
Flick saw Alexia, trapped by a man with the disease. He stared at him. He had to get the sedative in him and help Alexia. He slowly pushed past her, and the infected boy stared holes in Flicks. He held up the syringe, and then struck. It injected the man in the right spot. Flick raced away, then turned. The boy was dead. He stared at him, then dropped o his knees. He had killed so many. What was happening?

Alexia heard a sdden silence. She heard a thud as the man fell to the florr, FLick standing there. "He's dead-that means you've used up your sedative. I have some in my apartment we could use."she told him. "I used to try to work as a nurse-they let me try it as a joke. But I happened to be good at it. Hoever-I don't do too well around blood, so I quiet." she explained. SHe flet around, going down the stair case. "Come on, I don't think your buddy has a lot of time left before he's gone." she whispered.
Flick glared at Alexia. "He's not a 'buddy' of mine! I've never met him before in my life. The only way to help him right now is to kill him. There's no other way!" he shouted. He wasn't sure how much londer he could go on. Sweat streamed from his forehead. He was trembling so hard that it was hard to move. He followed Alexia, trying to stable her if she tripped.
