Two years later

"How could you possibly lose her!" Mark's voice booms, "she was in a coma!" He walks towards the nurse and narrows his eyes on her, "a coma, which means she can't actually do anything!"

"Mark calm down, there's nothing she could have done," Joel says holding Mark back. She looks at the nurse and gives her a small nod, the nurse timidly nods back and leaves the room. She turns Mark around and sighs, "you need to calm down,"

Mark massages his temple, "first we lose Shrivannov because we were careless and driven by our emotions, then we lose the person who caused us to lose that sick fuck of a doctor. Do you get my frustration?" He looks at Joel expecting a positive answer.

Joel nods and turns to the now empty bed, "maybe she went for a walk,"

"People in comas don't take walks agent Joel," Mark says rolling his eyes.

Joel turns to Mark with a soft smile and shrugs slightly, "with Drew, you never know,"

Mark let's out a chuckle and smiles nodding softly, "that is true," he walks into the room and looks around slowly making sure not to miss anything, "maybe she..."

"We disrupt your regular programme to give you this special report, a woman is currently in a stand off with police. Based on reports; it seems an unidentified dark haired woman is holding another unidentified woman by her ankles atop a thirty five storey building..."

Mark let's out a sigh and rubs his temple with his fingers, "so she's not exactly missing, she's at the agency," he let's out an dry chuckle, "that's just great," he says between gritted teeth.

Joel holds in a smile and follows Mark out of the room as they rush to get back to headquarters.

Drew sighs as she holds the doctor by her ankles upside down, "How many people are infected?" she asks with a bored tone.

"You better not drop me you crazy..."

"I'll try, but my hands are getting sweaty and I'm shaking, the coma caused me to lose some muscle mass," Drew replies before tightening her already weak grip.

The doctor tries not to move in fear that she will slip out of the hold and ultimately fall to her death, "only you,"

Drew frowns, "so you've been on the run for two years and you haven't done anything?"

"No, because authorities have been on my tail,"

Drew nods in understanding, but frowns, "I was cured,"

"No you weren't. Why would I bring the cure with me with you in the room?"

Drew feels fear creep into her and she is frozen, "but..."

"Its an airborne virus, I don't need to go around infecting people, you did that for me," Shrivannov says with a confident tone.

"Then I haven't infected anyone, I've been kept in a capsule," Drew says with a shrug. She looks at the doctor who is staring back with wide eyes, "Idiot," Drews' grip loosens from fatigue and the doctor slips out of her grip.

Drew tries to reach for her again but she is too weak and follows the doctor down the building, "You asshole!" the doctor screams.

"I'm dying too you know!"

"Can't you drive faster Mark?"

"We're here... oh my God," Mark looks up and sees both women falling down the building.
