Julia looked at Alex "Go check the medicine cabinets for cough medicine.. Nyquil or something with alcohol in it."
 
She was trying her best to keep Rachel laying down so she wouldn't hurt herself and was already sitting against the headboard and half holding her as the pain wracked the woman's body.  She cut out the pain from Rachel's grip on her wrist and just concentrated on easing Rachel's pain as best as possible.
 
But there wasn't a doubt now.  Although there wasn't any apparent places showing, it was obvious that the woman was suffering from heroine withdraw or worse.
 
Rachel dug her feet into the bedding and begged Julia, Derek, any of them to make it go away.  Then she started crying for Kat.
 
So Julia went back to assuring her that Kat was okay, waiting to see what Alex turned up in her search in the bathrooms and looking at Derek with a mixture of worry and unease, pushing the pain of Rachel digging her nails into her flesh to the back of her mind and just doing the best she could in helping ride out the wave of withdraw.
