Sam didn't have to be asked twice. She put her arm around Reese and
began to walk as quickly as she could. "A tub could work," she said
thoughtfully, trying to keep her mind off what she'd just seen. "Cold
water hurts some when you have a fever, but.....it could help."
They made it outside in a matter of minutes and Julia led
them to Derek's UV, opening the door and then pressing the switch that
would unlock the other doors
"Put her in the back." she instructed Sam as she picked up
Derek's cell phone and dialed the House. Two rings and Jonathan
answered.
Julia gave him directions and instructed him to send
someone to pick them up, not knowing if there was a place nearby or not.
Her gaze was glued to the crypt entrance and voice terse as she included setting
up a room for Reese. She wanted to either go in after Derek and the others
or wanted to see them come out safe and sound.
But she knew she couldn't. Derek had to focus
totally on getting the others out and, even though they both knew she had the
skill, the fact was he would be worried about her and their child. And she
wasn't willing to put him in any kind of possible danger.
She shifted the sword she was holding and got into the
UV. They would stay there until the car showed up and then go to the
House.
Where, she thought as she hung up to wait, she would most
likely pace a hole into the sitting room until everyone was back home and
safe.
Jonathan immediately sent a car and security officer, then
set about setting up the guest bedroom as Julia had instructed; filled tub
included.
