"Get out of here. Get somewhere safe," she tells April and Lorne. Containing the spread is no longer an option.
Panic spreads in her like a virus. Her heart is pounding so hard she feels like she's dying, and she's hearing a violent buzzing in her ears that's getting louder all the time. She pushes a PINpoint into April's hand and leaves for home.
She needs to save her children. Her family. Nothing else is true in her but that. And that buzzing, even louder now, a flushing to her face, she feels like she has hot wire in her veins.
She PINs home, yelling, "Code red, code red, this is not a drill!" They're moving worlds. Cutting all ties. Code red brooks no argument.
Cole comes out of the bedroom looking bewildered, but takes one look at her face and grabs the emergency bag she has packed at all times under the bed. Victor heads right to the nursery, picks up Anya and Athena, one child on each hip. They're three now and too heavy for her to cart around, but now's not the time to worry about her own physical pain. "Where's Jude?"
"He's at school." Cole wraps an arm around her, he's ready to go, but there's a fraction of a second before he can get his finger to depress the button.
