"Stay here." Nate tells Chris in a stern voice as he jumps up from the bed.

He runs out into the hallway to see Adam hanging on to the door facing in his weakened state.

"Adam, what's wrong? Why are you out of bed?" Nate asks as he grabs Adam around the waist for support.

"It's Tim. (cough cough) He's freaking out." (cough cough) Adam says in a hoarse voice.

"I was afraid this would happen." Nate says as he helps Adam back into the bedroom.

Tim was sitting up in bed having a panic attack. He could not breathe and felt as if he was suffocating. Mentally, he thought he was going through withdrawal again.

"Tim? It's alright, buddy." Nate says as he helps Adam back to bed. He hurries around the bed and grabs Tim by his shoulders.

"I...I..can't breathe." Tim says in a panic. "I can't breathe!"

"Your sinuses are all stopped up. Breathe through your mouth." Nate says.

"No! I...I can't go... through it again!" Tim says, shaking his head.

"You're not, Tim. You are not going through withdrawal. You're past that." Nate says. "Just take some deep breaths through your mouth."

Nate remembered watching an episode of 'The Doctors' about bringing someone out of a panic attack. It was something new he had learned and thought he would give it a shot. He takes Tim's legs and pulls them over the edge of the bed placing his feet firmly on the floor. The patient needed to feel grounded.

He began to rub Tim's arms, starting at the elbow and moving down to his wrist. Why? He didn't catch that part. But he thought it was to help calm the patient.

"Boss Man, listen to me. You are NOT having withdrawals. Understand?" Nate says in a soft calming voice. "You just have a really bad cold."

"M..My shoulder hurts." Tim groans as he tries to catch his breath.

"I can't let you smoke anything right now." Nate says as he continues rubbing the hitman's arms.

"Give me my pills." Tim whispers.

"No. Snap out of it, Tim. You're not on the pills anymore." Nate states firmly. "Remember?"

Tim whimpers as he leans forward, placing his forehead on the young doctor's shoulder.

"Ith he gonna be alwight?" Adam asks as he rubs his husband on the back.

Nate chuckles lightly at the blonde trying to talk in his stopped-up state.

"He's going to be fine. I kinda figured him being sick might throw his mind into flashbacks." Nate says. "You guys feel like eating? We fixed some home-made soup."

"I am kinda hungwy." Adam says before coughing.

"What about you, Tim?" Nate asks but didn't receive an answer. "Tim?"

He then realizes that the hitman had gone back to sleep while leaning on him.

"I guess he can eat later. He needs his rest. You both do." Nate says. "I know you well enough, Adam Foust, to know that you think it's your job to care for him. But you let us do that."

"But he'th my huthband...." Adam starts but is interrupted by the doctor.

"Yes, I know that but you too are sick and need rest." Nate scolds. "After you eat, I expect you to do just that. Doctor's orders, Mr. Foust."

Adam didn't have the strength to argue so he just nods his head in defeat.

"Wait. I got an idea." Nate says as he props some pillows against the headboard and lays Tim back so that he would be slightly in a raised position, thinking that might help him breathe better. "I have a humidifier that will help you guys breathe better. I'll go get it."

Nate walks out into the hallway when he meets Kirstie coming out of her's and Avi's bedroom.

"How's he feeling?" Nate asks.

"I think he's feeling a bit better since he's eaten. He's taking a nap. He's still pretty congested though. What was all the yelling about?" Kirstie asks.

"Oh, that was Adam. Tim was freaking out because he couldn't breathe and he had a panic attack. It kinda threw him into a mind relapse and he thought he was having withdrawal. But he's okay now. He's sleeping and Adam is eating." Nate tells her.

"Avi was afraid that might happen." Kirstie says.

"I have a humidifier that I'm going to put in their room. That will help them a lot." Nate says. "I'm going to also look in storage to see if there is anything in there."

"There's all kind of medical supplies in there. I'll help you look since Avi is asleep." Kirstie says. "I just have to take these dishes down to the kitchen."

"Alright, I'll meet you there. I'm going to set the humidifier that I have up for Tim and Adam but I need to find some for Chance, Austin and Avi." Nate says before heading for his and Chris's room.

He grabs the humidifier, checks on Chris and then heads back to the Fousts' bedroom. Adam had finished his soup and was curled up next to his husband asleep. Tim was still sitting up where Nate had placed him. Even though the position looked very uncomfortable, he was sound asleep.

Nate quietly set up the humidifier, gathered up Adam's tray and then headed back downstairs. He was exhausted and felt as if he was going to collapse at any minute. But he had a job to do first. Sleep will come after the others were feeling better.

Avi opens his eyes and notices a strange menthol smell in the room. Raising up, he looks around to see a humidifier had been set up in his room. He smiles sadly to see his wife curled up in a chair next to his bed asleep.

"Hey, Sweetheart." Avi says softly as he reaches out to rub her cheek.

Her eyes suddenly open and she quickly sits up.

"Are you okay? Is something wrong?" She asks quickly.

"No, everything is fine. Actually, I'm feeling better. At least I can breathe. But you look exhausted." Avi says as he brushes back her hair.

"It's been a long twenty-four hours." She says through a yawn.

"Come here." Avi says as he scoots over to make room for his wife.

"Okay, but no kissing." She says with a smile as she cuddles up next to him.

"Not even on the forehead?" Avi says with a pout.

"I guess the forehead is okay. I just don't want to get sick from your germs." Kirstie giggles.

"Ugh, I'm offended." Avi chuckles.

"I'm sorry, Sweetie, but I can't afford to get sick. I have to help Nate and Esther with the others." Kirstie says.

"Well, in that case, I forgive you. You're not much help dead on your feet so you need to rest." Avi says as he places a kiss on her forehead.

"I promise I'll make it worth your wait." Kirstie smiles up at him.

"I'm going to hold you to that." Avi smiles as he pulls his wife closer to him.
