Episode 29

Miah was dragged from the surgical chamber and down a hall, and was locked in a small room.  She beat on the door, screaming for them to let her out, but it was of no use.  She sat against the door and took deep breaths, trying to sort out the racing thoughts in her head.  “Ben’s gone. Connor’s gone. I’m all messed up—” she choked back a sob— “and no one knows where—”

She froze, sure she had heard something. She stood up slowly, wincing at the pain, and looked toward the back of the room, where she hadn't taken a good look at yet.  There was a sheet on the floor, and someone lay there, motionless.

Miah took a few hesitant steps toward the body, and then gasped, “Ben!”

She ran to the bedside and fell to her knees. The back of her head was killing her with every step, but she bit her lip and ignored it. “Ben…” 

His eyes were closed and he was barely breathing. She brushed the hair from his face and felt his forehead. “I’m here; it’s going to be okay…We can fix you…” She sniffed back a tear and took a shuddering breath. In a coma, Gail had said. What did one do for a coma?



Nothing.
