Sorry about the wait, but i was put on a force computer break for a week, well any way here is more. oh and a few things. In this I use the concepts brought to light in the episode temptaion eyes. Any names and references are purly coiensidence, so if your name is Jeffery don't feel bad. any way no more from me. enjoy! ############################################# Al appeared in a bright warm bedroom. Alex was lying down on the bed reading a Star Trek novel, X-File posters lined the walls. 'I want to believe' caught Al's attention the most. The caption was fitting. As Al was walking around, trying to find words, Alex shivered. She put down the book and stared towards Al's direction. " Hello, is anyone there? " Alex asked tentatively. " Alex, I need your help. " That's simple enought Al thought. Alex narrowed her eyeds and with look of concentration, she stared at Al. Moments later her face lit up. " Wow, what a suit, you look very tired. Sorry that was not very nice. You do not seen the same as most spirits I've met. You take a lot of concentration to see. What is your name and how can I help you? " " It worked, you can see me, ani't that a kick in the butt. You can call me Al. My friend is in trouble and unless you can call the police, My friend will die. I know you have an ability to find things, and also to see things that others can't. I need you to convince the police that you can see my friend, and save my friends life. " " What you ask Al is a lot, I have once tried to go to the police and give them information, but they have closed mines. I wish I could help, but they all think I read too many books, even my parents do not believe in my gifts. " " Dammit, my friend is dying, you are out only hope. There is a woman at the police station her name is Natasha Brown. She has an open mind, if you talk to her, then they will listen and believe. Please, got to the station and talk to officer Brown. My friend is named Michelle Thomas and is being kept at 256 Tamara Road. Otherwise, the death of my friend and many more in the future will be on your head. I have to go back and check on my friend, I will come come back to you later, please hurry. " " Okay Al, I will go talk to this Natasha, but don't expect miracles, I have a feeling, that God has turned a blind eye on the world today. " " You better believe it doll." With that Al was gone, leaving Alex alone, and getting ready for a trip down town. ####################### When Al appeared in the room with Sam, his ears were assaulted, with cries of pain from his friend. True to his word, Jeffery had reappeared and was torturing Sam again. " Sam, I'm here, hold on, help is on the way." " Al...Uhgg! " " Shut up you #$%@, I've had it with you. I have been nice to you, I gave you food, and kindness. All you had to do was submit. How come nobody gives in? What is wrong with you women. Enjoy your last hours of life. Tonight, the world is going to be rid if yet another stupit woman, God will be proud of me. " Looking once more at the figure of a girl on the floor at his feet, Jeffery left to prepare for tonight. Al could see a thin foam of blood come out from between Sam's lips every time he breathed. Fading in and out of consciousness, Sam tried to talk. " Al.......I'm..Sor...Sorry. I remember Donna........Tell..her....I love her." " Sam, save your strenght, you can tell her when you come home. Alex is on the way with the police, Ziggy says that she will be here in about five minutes. Don't you dare give up on me now Samuel Beckett!!! " "Not....your.....fault....Look....after...Donna...for....me,.......Thank's.... .A " Without finishing Al's name, Sam's body went slack. His chest did not struggle for another painful breath, and his mind felt no more pain. Al sat next to his friend stunned. After having don so much, it was not meant to end this way, Sam had done too much, he deserved better. As the images around him started to fade, Al looked up and cried out. " Why.... WHY!!! He did everything you ever asked. Where the hell do you get off!! " Not getting any answers, Al told Gooshie to get Dr. Beeks and tell her what had happened. When he had finished talking he saw a door open, expecting Jeffery and seeing red, It took a few seconds to realise that it was not Jeffery but the police and Alex. Within seconds paramedics were called in and CPR was started on Sam. The images around Al once again started to solidify. Alex was at first confused. The police had told her that Michelle was a female aged eighteen, Yet the person before her was a male aged somewhere in his thirties. Looking at Al, he told her that to everyone, his friend looked like a young woman, that Sam was special like himself and just to go along with it. Al followed the paramedics as they loaded Sam into the ambulance and continued CPR all the way to the hospital. At the hospital, doctors swarmed around Sam, he was the center of attention. After a few minutes, they were able to get a week yet present pulse. He was put on full respiratory support and IV tubs where crisscrossing his body. It was Sam now who looked dwarfed, with all the machines surrounding him. When Dr. Beeks appeared, Al repeated everything the doctors where saying. Nodding her head she told Al that Sam was in worst condition then Michelle, but there was a good chance that he would pull through. Al looked down at his hand link and Ziggy confirmed what Dr. Beeks had said. The odds of Sam dying were 45.89%, this was still too high for Al's liking. Al stayed with Sam as they moved him to ICU. Punching some buttons, he found out that Maputo was sentenced to four life prison terms. The sentence was originally seven, but was reduced when Jeffer co-operated with the police and told them where the other bodies where hidden. Wondering why Sam had not leaped, he asked Ziggy who told him that the odds where high that Sam was herer to help Alex. Taking a sip of water, Al prepared for another, long vigil over his friend. For the next two days, Al left Sam for only brief periods of time. He had a cot brought in and food was delivered throughout the day and night. No matter what Beeks said, Al was not going to leave Sam for any longer then he had to. It was on the third day that Sam woke up. Still hooked up to the repirator, Sam nearly chocked, hearing the commotion, a young female nurse came running. " It's okay, It's okay, try to breath normally. Don't fight the machine, it's there to help you. " After calming Sam down a little, the nurse left and called a doctor. " Sam, thank god, your okay. I'm here. You are in a hospital, Alex arrived just in time, and Jeffery is in custody. and believe me Sam, the world will never have to worry about him again. " " Why..." " We don't know yet why you haven't leaped, but we think it has something to do with Alex. Just relax and take it easy, there is no big rush, you need to get your strenght back." Giving a slight nodd, Sam relaxed as the doctors came in and went to work checking vitals, and issusing orders to the nurses. Heaving a sigh of relief Al left the Imaging Chamber and went in search of Dr. Beeks ######################## -------------------------------------------------------------------------- sorry, another word or two, more will be coming. with the episodes like temptaion eyes, and also the one called what a wonderful leap, where Sam is guared by an angle, AL is more believeing in people like Alex, any way any comments please email me.
