[Poltergeist - The Legacy] Derek

[spfoley]

The sounds around Derek started to become more than a numb drolling hum in his ears... he was starting to hear actual voices... and the words going with those voices......   He reached out and grabbed Nick's hand as he tried to make sense of it all.   "And here's your payment.."   Derek had been thrown to the floor.  He could only assume that Mitchell meant for Derek's physical state was some kind of vengeance against Nick...   "You okay" he asked him checking him over for any bruises. "Come on, please say you're okay" Nick begged.   Derek was nodding and already hearing the two younger men bantering back and forth........ then Julia's words sank in and he chuckled against a weak cough, still gripping Nick's hand although not as strongly as his usual ability to do.   "She knows.." he whispered, not sure who heard him as he laid his head in Philip's lap and sighing "Innocence of a child...."
