60 Days To Outbreak

~Violet's POV~

I had just walked out of surgery when I saw him and I knew. I knew the moment I saw Shane there, holding back his tears for our boys. Rick had gone to work even with my telling them of what was coming. "How bad is it?"

"Coma, just like you said. Can you?" I knew exactly what he meant.

"No, or at least not yet. He's supposed to be in a coma for 2 months into the end if I remember right. I'll have to heal him slowly or they'll start asking questions and with everything going on they might end up thinking he's a cure then." Shane nodded understanding the risks and not wanting to lose his brother as some bogus experiment. "How are the boys?"

"Scared. Twins just know he'll be sleeping for awhile but they know their mommy is gonna make daddy better." I will, one way or another Rick isn't going to wake up to find us gone without him.

"Get the last of the bags packed."

1 Day to Outbreak

"Shit, Shit, Shit!" I ran up the stairs the moments I saw several groups of soldiers walking to different hospital entrances, guns in hand. Two of my friends and colleagues (Addison" Addy" Vasquez and Sun Mei Ling) followed after me knowing something was clearly wrong and long having grown to trust my 'feelings'. I led them straight to the pharmacy. "Pack everything you can. Anesthesia, pain killers, anti-inflammatory, the works. Get your families and meet me at the farm. If you can't get there head to the quarry outside Atlanta we went camping at but for the love of God don't go into the city." I said grabbing duffels I'd hidden this morning.

"What about the refugee center?" Sun Mei worried. She was assigned as one of the doctors in the new infectious disease ward. We had met in med school, Virology 101 ironically enough. She married Shin Ling, an engineer who I introduced to her two years later.

"What's going on? At least talk to us especially considering this can get us arrested

"What's going on? At least talk to us especially considering this can get us arrested." Addy was freaking out now.  She had started working here just 3 years ago fresh out of college and back home taking care of her father who'd lost his wife to cancer. She was looking for work but no one willing to take her onto their team, until me. She married a marine, Lieutenant Javier Vasquez who had been retired due to a shrapnel injury that occurred 4 months ago. The limp in his leg while hardly noticeable and not affecting his daily life meant his military career was over.

"No one is being arrested but if we don't get out of here we're dead. Javier was a marine. Tell me something. What does it mean when groups of soldiers separate to cover the exit points and enter fully armed, guns in hand?" They took the bags and began packing. "I have to get Rick."

"Go/We'll meet up."

Shane was already there when I reached the room. "We need to go. Unhook him while I heal the rest and wake him." I used the healing charm and dittany to close up and seal the wound without infection before casting. "Rennervate"

"Violet" my name left his lips as he woke

"Violet" my name left his lips as he woke. Gun fire rang out followed by an explosion that knocked out the power. Shit.

"Hide. Rick play dead!" I hissed at him as Shane and I hid at his side. We could hear the door open and someone come in before I sent a confundus at the soldier so he would believe the room was empty.

"All clear here." The soldier's voice rang out before he backed out. "Let's contain this and get the hell out." And we stood after the door was closed.

"Time to go." We each grabbed an arm to help Rick up and make our escape out of here. God, I wish portkeys or apparition worked for us.
