That really bothered Rand, that people weren’t being warned, but Randy would tell their dad. She would make sure though - if she remembered. Rand sighed, her head did hurt, but she didn’t want to tell him that. “No.” She didn’t want to go back, but she did really want to lay down. She’d pushed herself really hard that day and she was tired. She had just promised to behave herself though. “Yeah, okay.” She let Roman help her back to Sickbay. She wanted to stop, to not go in, but by the time they got to the door to sickbay the only thing she was worried about was getting to lay down in the dark and quiet.

Roman helped her back into bed and then sat down next to her in the chair. He was a little glad she’d decided to come back without a fight. Elbbirt had said he only needed one dose of the antibiotics, so he was hoping by tomorrow he felt better, but right now he was feeling feverish, cold and at the same time sweaty. It bothered Roman too, that the police wouldn’t do anything. His sister, he’d heard, had lost her protective detail, unless another threat was made or there was reasonable evidence someone might try again. But the police had nothing on the group and with LaCroix caught but not talking the investigation was at a dead end. Roman hadn’t been able to talk to Randy about it yet.

It didn’t take Rand long to fall asleep. When Shrine came to check on her, she also brought a small box, kind of like a care package and gave it to Roman. Inside was a note from Randy that he knew Roman didn’t want meds, but if he felt his fever making him uncomfortable to go wash with cool water, drink extra water, or use a cold compress (all things in the box), or better yet, all three. That he should feel a noticeable improvement by 2300. If he didn’t, Roman should page Randy.
