Alex had heard the engine and doors from the kitchen and was already at the
front door to motion them in "Coffee's on."
She and Nick had both had time to shower and change while keeping an eye on
Rachel with the signs of withdraw just barely starting to show. Nick was
with Rachel right now, trying to get her back to sleep.
"Rachel's awake... and it's not good." she said by way of explanation as she
backed into the house and turned to go upstairs.
Derek:
Derek followed her up the stairs, immediately changing gears. "How bad is
it," he asked quite seriously his tone concerned. He still needed to call
Dr. North. The man had just moved to town and he hated to impose on him
like this, but there seemed little else he could do. North was a trusted
colleague when he had resided in London. Though Derek had a few people he
knew he could trust in San Francisco, he wanted to make certain Rachel had
the best care and if that was the case, North was it.
