"Micah…"  Susan warned.

"It’s okay, we’ll be careful."  Micah glanced at Susan, then turned back to me.  "Take what I’m already sending into your stomach.  Add it to your stream.  Don’t let it build up inside you, just open the channels so it flows completely through."

I felt Shawn’s funnel open and I filled the extra space with more power.  My search area widened.  "More," I commanded Shawn.  Surprisingly, he obeyed.  "Even more."  I was moving along the seabed quickly now, covering a lot of ground.  I wasn’t taking any energy from Micah, I was only using what he sent me, and it was working well.

Finally, in a small corner of my search area I sensed a higher concentration of salt.  "I think I found some sulphate."

I felt a sudden surge of power from Micah.  It sent me stumbling forward and I would have gone straight over the edge of the boat if Susan hadn’t grabbed me.

"Kaitlyn!"  Micah yelled, voice strained.  "Stop it!"

I turned around in a panic.  "I’m not doing anything!" 

Micah had doubled over and dropped to his knees.

"Keep your channel open!"  Shawn yelled.  "It has to close slowly or there could be damage!"

But the flow coming from Micah was just as strong as ever, and something about it felt…tainted.  Something was wrong.  Susan ignored Shawn’s warning and I felt her streams stop abruptly.  I followed her lead. 

 By the time my flows petered out, Micah had collapsed all the way onto the deck.  His sister leaned over him, desperately trying to keep him conscious.  I ran around to the other side of him and Shawn stepped back, giving us our space.

"Micah, Micah!"  Susan slapped his cheek lightly.  "Stay with me!"

I was still in shock.  Alex came running down the stairs with a small first aid kit.  He opened it but looked hopelessly at Micah; Band-Aids weren’t going to fix this.
