Derek just shook his head at her in utter bafflement.  It must be the fever,
he thought.   He stayed with her until he was certain she was really asleep
and wouldn't be getting up anytime soon.  Once he was sure, he got up and
left the room closing the door softly behind him.  He needed to check out
this thing about Milo.  He entered teh control room and imeediately noticed
an alert message on the computer.  They're security had indeed been
breached.  He swore softly and began to try and figure who had done this.
It took him a very long time, in which he used a lot of language that he
probably shouldn't have, though most of it wasn't in English.  He was only
to make a little headway.  Finally he stood and left the room, looking for
Alex, but she wasn't home, neither was Nick.  There was Rachel...but he
didn't think she would ge much further than he had.

He wondered idly of Ria was speaking to him yet.  He wasn't having much luck
finding her, so he made an announcement over the intercom asking her to
please come to the control room.  She knew something of computers, perhaps
she could help.

While he waited, for her, he flipped on one of the security monitors and
brought up a picture of Julia's room, she was still sleeping peacefully,
which was good.

Derek
