Wednesday Afternoon

He'd been bitten and he was coming for her. Sonia told her that. Fear pushed the sadness to the far corner of her mind. She knew she'd be safe around other people...and if all else failed she was sure she could deal with him as she had Chip. Hopefully she wouldn't have to worry about it at all. Hopefully Rover would have found him but now and gotten him to the clinic.

She didn't really want to leave campus though. Campus was...well, safe wasn't the word. But surely safer than home.

She sat in her office with the door closed. Her cell phone on her desk, a cup of coffee, and a cold feeling in the pit of her stomach.

I never SAID you were bloody stupid! You're the one who keeps saying 'oh, I'm dumb, 'oh, I'm stupid because I don't understand'. When you're bloody NOT!

[He realises what he just said.] Oh. God. [His hand goes to his forehead.] I think...I need to sit down. [And he stiffly sits on the floor.]

[She's still fuming, but seeing him, broken, the venom hopefully having worked through his system with the adrenaline she was pushing him to, she kneels beside him, her voice gentle]

Ten, let me take you to the clinic. You're sick...ok?

[His voice cracks.] Okay. [And he leans against her, eyes closed tight.] I did bad things today, CJ.

I know, Ten. It...it's nothing we can't fix. I love you and I'm here. Let me get you to the doctor. [She puts her hands under his arms to hoist him up. She kisses him gently on the forehead, her anger gone.]

[He still leans on her, biting his lower lip, as they move towards the door.] I...oh my god, I did horrible things. And I gave Adam a candy bar.

It'll be all right, Ten. I promise. [She walks him to the clinic]
