Al hated the sight of blood, and the sight of his best friends blood was even worse. Taking a deep breath, he prepared for the sight that awaited him. The first thing that he was awear of was the sounds of Man of La Mancha, the music soft, yet loud in the quite room. A large team of nurses were with Jacen as well as Dr. Scully, all at work to save Sam's life. From the place he apperaed, Sam was not visable, the low sounds of Jacen asking for something, was just heard over the noise. Knowing that Sam need him, Al overcame his queezness for the time being and went closer to Sam. " Sam, I know you can't talk, but I'm here okay, I'm here. " A slight smile formed on Sam's face and his body relaxed a little more. " Michelle, as I said earlier, if you feel anything out of the ordenary or something strange happens, tell me okay, that's why you are awake. Blink once for yes if you feel anything, and blink three times, if you have a problem and want to get my attention, one of the nurses are watching you all the time and will see. Jacen watched as Sam blinked once. " Great, you hang in there Michelle, there is nothing to worry about, I had a great teacher, and in a few years, we might be able to sit down and talk about this incedent, just you my teacher, and me. " Sam smiled as he blinked again. The sound of a power drill made Al cringe and look away, a chiver running up his spine, as he mentally saw what was happening to his best friend. He was awear that Sam could not feel this from the drugs that he was on, and when the doctors started pocking around inside his head, Sam would not feel that either, due to there being no pain reseptors in the brain, but Al still hated it all. He had a vision of Sam waking up tommorrow with a really bad headache. Although Al did not think it was really the time or place, he knew that as a doctor, Sam reallt needed something to keep his mind off what was happening. " Sam, I talked to Alex, gawd she's a good kid. Alex should be coming in two days to see you. There was a really big fight at her house, so it may not be to difficult to convince her to leave. She did not really want to come, for some reason she hates hospitials, she tols me it had something to do with vibes. There are suppose to be bad vibes and spirits here, a lot of pain and suffering and she can see it all. I told her that Danielle was in danger, that was the main reason she finally said yes to coming. Al saw a small smile on Sam's lips. SAm knew that he was being watched closly and that he could not really communicat with Al, even it was batting eye lids. Just as Al was about to go into some story about Ziggy's latest antics, Sam's body started to convulse. Al watched as Nurses converged on Sam's body and tried to pin him down. Jacen quickly removed the long probe from Sam's head and watched as his body started to settle down. " Michelle are you alright? " A nurses shoke her head at the doctor as he asked the question. Dr. Scully lifted one of Sams eyelids and looked for dialation. After a few secods there was a respons, but it was really to slow. Jacen worried, ordered some powerful drugs to be adminastrated, all were stumped at the epiosde. " Sam, wake up, Sam! " Al loudly said, getting concerned, he could see that the doctors where confused and that made Al scared. The monitors showed that Sams heart was still going strong, but the reason for his unconscious state was not known. Concerned that he would stop breathing altogether, a resperator was on standby close to the table. Al, knowing that none of this was normal, became frantic. If there was anyone withing hearing range of him, they would need cotton wool for their ears, and then they would still get a headache fromall his shouting and cursing. Half an hour passed and just as suddenly Sam woke up. " Sam, thank god, why in the $%#@ did you do that, you scared me half to death! " Jacen went straight to work checking Sam over. His breathing had returned to normal, or at least what would be called normal with all his injures. After a quick check, Jacen was satisfied that no damage had been done. " Michelle can you hear me? " Sam did not respond, waiting a few seconds, Jacen tried again. " Michelle, can you hear me, blink once for yes. " Still Sam did not respond. Then Al tried. " Sam, what's wrong, if you can hear me kid, blink once. " Al waited, but there was no movement. Jacen lightly touched Sam on the face. Sam's blind eyes, looked in that direction, and he blinked three times. It was then that Jacen knew that Sam was having a major problem. He touched Sam on the ear, hoping to get his question accross, 'can you hear?' After feeling the touch Sam blinked twice, which could only mean no. Sam could not hear. " Oh Sam, no " Al watched as they did a few other tests before they came to a conclusion. " Okay everyone, time is now the enamie. The pressure build up is now so great that it is effecting other parts of the brain. If it is not relieved in the next hour, then we are going to loos him..uhm I mean her. " There was a few nodds of agreement from the nursing staff as Jacen finished talking. Hoping that nothing more was going to happen, Jacen got back to work on SAm. Al saw that Sam was scared, the expression on his face was one that Al had not seen since SAm's first leap when he had asked Al if he was dead. Wishing that he could talk to Sam, Al stayed closs to him, and hoped that Sam could feel his presence. At the thought Al remembered that half of the link was telapathic, so therefor there was a chance that Sam could feel his presents, if only weakly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry that's all for now, I hope to post some more soon.
