Doc hesitated, staring at my face, and then let out a big sigh?Ian's right?he can't get much
worseIf this kills him?? He shrugged, and his shoulders slumped
No one paid any attention to her
I knelt beside Jamie, yanking the backpack off my shoulders and tugging it openI fumbled

?Water, Ian??
I twisted the lid open and pinched out one of the little tissue squaresWhen I pulled Jamie's
chin louis vuitton purses down, his skin burned my handI laid the square on his tongue and then held out my hand
without looking upIan placed the bowl of water in it
Carefully, I dripped enough water into his mouth to wash the medicine down his throatThe

sprayed into the air above him in one fast movementI waited, watching his chest until he
inhaled
I touched his face, and it was so hot! I scrambled for the Cool, praying it would be easy to use

timeYes!Exultation swept through both Mel and me
?Remarkable,? Doc breathed
?The fever has cooled, but the infection may remain in his legHelp me with his wound, Doc
?Sharon, could you hand me ?? he began absentmindedlyAh, Kyle,

Clean spray
?He won't feel it?? Doc checked, hesitating
?Hey,? Jamie croakedHis eyes were open wide, roaming the room until they found my faceWhat's going on? What's everyone doing here??
