Derek rested his elbows on the bar and regarded her for a moment, still
trying to collect himself completely before speaking. He debated about what
to tell her, but decided the truth would be the best route. Though he
could easily just tell her she had a virus. "It appears that someone has
been injecting you with heroine," he said simply. "But you're going to be
just fine," he assured her. "And Nick is on his trail."
Rachel looked at him and then Julia, remembering earlier and her gaze
falling to Julia's wrists, expression guilty.
But Julia was letting Derek speak and was concentrating on serving some food
up and cutting up the meatloaf so it would be easy to swallow.
Rachel then looked at Derek, her voice a mere whisper "Oh god.. I hurt
her.... " Then she thought about Kat "Kat didn't see me did she? I didn't..
I didn't hurt or do anything to Kat...?"
Julia looked up then and passed her some tea, again letting Derek answer as
she finished preparing Rachel's dish.
