Derek:
Derek continued to clean up the wounds as he listened to Julia's words. It
was possible he supposed, though there were some other factors. "I'll get
Nick to do the perimeter search," he agreed. "But Julia, she is a doctor
and if she were trying to hide this it is a possibility that she would
inject herself there." He was willing to keep an open mind about this, but
he didn't want to ingore the possibility that Rachel could have done this to
herself, especially considering her past. He didn't want Julia completely
discounting that possibility either.
