Jack stood in the infirmary along with all of Carter's friends and
colleagues. She was dying. Or mutating. He wasn't quite sure which.
Either way he wouldn't be talking to her anymore. I mean really, who
wants to hang out with a mutant?
A pained expression crossed Jack's face as he looked at Carter's still
form. Jacob was so going to kick his ass for this. And Jacob always
kicked so hard.
But that wasn't even the worst of it. The worst was that people kept
looking at him. Why? Maybe they thought he had the cure or something.
He walked to her bed.
Suddenly he realized this was it. This was the last time he would
ever get to talk to her. He had to know. In front of all these
witnesses he had to ask.
"Carter?"
"Yes, Sir," she said in a weak voice.
"Have you seen my yo-yo?"
