"No it's not," Alex said lowering her voice.  "Hang on a minute."  She made
certain the girl was as comfortable as possible and left the room.  Once in
the hall she spoke again.  "Derek, I don't know what happened.  One minute
she was fine and the next she was sick.  She says her head hurts and she
feels a little feverish, but I could be wrong about that part.  It just came
on out of the blue."

Derek frowned "I'm on my way."

He hung up the phone and looked at Sloan "We'll have to finish this later.
I have to get back."

With that he put the phone back into his jacket pocket and left, dark eyes
filled with concern and expression somber.
