Julia remembered what Derek said, about wanting to make sure Megan got the
help she needed if she were truly ill and looked down at her hands and
forcing them to relax from the grip she suddenly had on the edge of the
sink.

She could call Rachel and have her watch and listen, to make sure Megan was
either ill or just...

"Would it be okay if I brought someone myself?" she asked quietly, turning
to look at Derek as Frank spoke.

"I kind of figured you'd want to bring Rachel in so I've gotten it cleared."

"What time...?"

Frank gave her the time and place.

"We'll be there." Julia said before they hung up.

She moved the headset to sit around her neck and leaned against the counter,
chewing her bottom lip.  There was enough time still to make sure the others
were off and then find out if Amber were planning on visiting her new school
or not and drop her off if she were.

She should call Rachel and make sure the other woman had time to go to the
station with her....

Derek greeted Kristen, then took a long sip from his coffee as he watched
Julia talk on the phone.  The troubled look on her face did not sit well
with him.  "What the matter," he asked her, putting his mug down on the
ocunter.
