Chapter Thirty-Four

SOMETHING WAS PULLING ZACK out of the deep, sticky sleep that held him. When he blinked his eyes, the blurred outline of the window and the golden hint of sunlight that crept through it came in focus. The amount of daylight this time of year in Greenland was disorienting, and he had no idea how long he had been out. Still, he didn't feel like he'd slept long.

Unconsciousness grabbed hold of him and tried to pull him under again, but warning bells in his head went off. Something was out of place. He fought hard to get out of the dark grip the sedatives had on him and turned his head. A dark shadow stood at his nightstand, rummaging through the drawer that held the few personal belongings that had made it to the hospital with him.

"Hey," he managed to croak.

The dark figure froze.

"What are you doing?" Zack asked, his voice breaking a bit. His head didn't feel like it was clearing up at all, though.

The figure didn't move. Zack blinked, trying to swim through the blur that surrounded him. Slowly his conscious started to resurface, and he reached out his hand and grabbed hold of the sleeve.

The dark figure came alive, yanked his arm out of Zack's clutch, and ran out of the room.

"Hey!" Zack called after the figure.

He threw off the blankets and swung his legs out of bed. They held his weight this time. He took a heavy step forward, and then another.

The IV in his arm yanked, and a sharp pain shot through his arm where the needles entered his skin. He reached back and grabbed the pole, wheeling it with him.

Two more steps and he was out of his room and picking up his pace.

He looked left and right.

The shadowy assailant moved down the hall.

Zack started in that direction, but it wasn't long before black spots started dancing in front of his eyes. His vision narrowed until he only a small window in an otherwise dark world was visible. His legs grew heavier and heavier. Whatever was in his IV must have been pumping into his system faster than before with the exercise, and it was knocking him out.

"No..." Zack had gasped before he sank to the ground. His vision went black, but he could hear people shuffling around him. Two hands hooked him under his arms and then everything faded away.
