Derek:
"All right," Derek agreed. He heard what she said about Rachel, but still
felt he should have seen something. They all worked so closely together,
there should have been some sign. And Kat, oh God, she'd probably been left
alone with Rachel at some point during this. He did not really want to
leave Julia, but he knew he should talk to Kristen before she went to bed
and for that matter that he should probably send her to bed. How in the
world had this house gotten filled with many stubborn people? He stood up
slowly releasing Julia. Before he left however he took her hand again and
squeezed it gently. "I'd forgotten about the mess down there. We certainly
don't want Jonathan in one of his moods." He slipped out of the room and to
the control room.
