Strike First, Ask Questions Later

While Damien was busy with his conference call, the door to his office opened with a loud bang, making him snap his head towards it. He saw Katherine coming inside, looking reddish. She staggered on her way to him, a hand on her neck while the other reached the wall as she tried to steady herself.

His eyes widened in shock and without delay, he abruptly removed his headset, tossed it aside and jolted towards her. 

"Katherine!" he called in alarm.

Just before she fell to the floor, Damien was able to catch her in time. She had some red patches on her neck and she had labored breathing

"I… can't… breathe…" she wheezed.

"Sh*t."

Realizing that she was going into anaphylactic shock, Damien carefully laid her on the floor and rushed towards his desk drawer. Spotting the Epinephrine auto injector, he grabbed it and dashed back to where she was.
