amberfocus: (A Sky Without Zeppelins 2)
[personal profile] amberfocus
I just sent ch. 23 of A Sky Without Zeppelins to Amy to beta.  Hopefully that means I will get it back at a decent hour for posting today.  I tried  to post a sneak peak but the LJ cut feature is being all stupid.  Although, it's not smutty so I guess I can do it without a cut.  Here you go:


“No waiting. Come now,” Dr. Milligan says with some urgency. She tugs at the table and he snaps to and helps push it towards the lift she’s indicating.

 

“What is it? What’s the rush?”

 

“There’s only twenty-four hours to treat someone after exposure to…what your girlfriend has been exposed to.  Otherwise it's fatal.” The lift dings and they wheel her inside. Dr. Milligan looks at her watch. “You got her here just in time. Another hour and the effects would have been irreversible.”

 

Jonathon’s heart plummets dangerously towards his feet. He looks desperately at his Rose’s beautiful face. To lose her so soon after just finding her…he can’t even bear the idea. His fingers slip to her wrist and he takes her pulse. It is thready, weak and far too slow, half of what it should be. His stomach wrenches at the idea that he might actually lose her and for no reason that he can see.
