Derek simply nodded, making a mental note to make sure Julia stayed in bed,
whether she wanted to or not.  "I'll make arrangements for transportation as
soon as Kristin and Philip are able to travel," he told the doctor.  His jaw
was tight as he spoke and his tone.....well it was pretty clear he was not
pleased about any of this.  "Thank you," he added almost as an after
thought.  It wasn't the doctor's fault after all.

Derek hadn't had a chance to talk with Bryce and it would have to wait until
they got home.  He moved to the young man's side and told him as gently as
possible considering his mood, "I'll make arrangements for your father to be
transported to San Francisco.  Then you can make arrangements there.  Let me
know if you need any help with that," he added squeezing the man's shoulder
gently.
