She slowly changes to different pictures as she tries to explain what and where they were. Finally, she brought up a picture of a man and a woman with Jax. She pauses to see how Jax responds to the picture. “Are these my parents?” Jax asks.
“Your mother, Catherine, died when you were very young.”
“What about my Dad?”
“Your Dad, Dr. Joseph Collins was the lead researcher at the Lab that I worked for. The events that led up to your injuries began in his lab and this is where he lost his life.”
Fuchsia and Jax continue to talk for a long while. As their conversation draws to an end they both have puffy eyes and tears still evident in their eyes.
Fuchsia asks Jax if he can remember anything. He shakes his head no. “It feels like I am looking at and hearing about someone else's life in a way. But I have a question…. What was my name?”
Fuchsia smiles and says “Liam….Liam Collins.”
His eyes widen as the name reverberates through his head. “Liam?”
Fuchsia looks at Jax worried and says “What’s wrong?”
All of a sudden he remembers when Mr. Creso called him by the name “Liam” thus triggering a domino effect of memories from the night he obtained his life threatening injuries. Jax starts screaming and looks like he is reliving the painful experience. Fuchsia calls for Sina and Bren. She yells to Sina to grab her bag quickly.
Bren tries to calm Jax but he has already disconnected with reality and is unreachable. All he can do is make sure he doesn't hurt himself. Sina hands Fuchsia the bag and Fuchsia pulls out a transdermal microneedle patch. She tells Bren to hold Jax’s arm out. She carefully secures the patch to Jax and within minutes he begins to calm down until eventually he is unconscious.
“What the hell happened, Fuchsia?” Bren growls.
Fuchsia screams back at him, livid at his accusation. “I didn’t do anything.” She lowers her voice and says, “He was upset but he was handling everything really well. I don’t understand! It was his name...his name triggered a flashback.”
