Aron comforted Liska as best he could. He knew that he couldn't ask or demand her to leave, even though he was Daniel's brother, she carried his kid.
"What's going to happen, what's the next move?" He asked Scott.

Dr. Scott did not mince words. "If the blood culture confirms blood poisoning, we may be looking at transfusions."
Kendall relaxed and watched the twins greet their mother. "I think that lawyer of Blitz's has had her fill of you and can't even hope for a plea bargain, and they're retrenching for an appeal while they've still got room to maneuver."

Aron looked at the red lines in Daniel's arm. He had heard that once it would reach the heart, it would mean death. If it was true or not, he didn't know.
"So we can't kill it just outright?" He asked.

Ebony is confused and doesn't know what to think. She is tired, though, and turns away to look out the window. She doesn't want to think about what she had just been through today.

"Sorry." Kendall looked contrite. "My big mouth again." He turned to the hotel phone to order up room service. "Food should be here in a bit."
"Bacteremia, which is what it actually is called, requires very aggressive treatment." Dr. Scott replied. "At the very least, we'll have to drain and clean the infection site, and administer antibiotics. At worst, we might have to change the blood entirely."
Liska, standing behind the doctor, went a little paler at that prospect.

"Uh huh..." Ebony nodded absently. She pointed out the window at the Strip down below, "Look down there. That's where I used to live."

Kendall joined Ebony at the window. While attending various conventions and conferences, he had been up and down this street dozens of times, and it occurred to him that he could have passed Ebony just as many times and not noticed. It had taken more than just looks to draw his attention. "Do you still know anyone down there?"

"I had two close friends down there that I used to hang around with," said Ebony, then smiled a bit, "They were practically my bodyguards and followed me everywhere. I believe their names are Tempest and Inferno. But I don't know if they're still down there. I haven't seen them in two years when I left."

Aron shivered slightly. Daniel had been a regular donor, but what he contributed hadn't been enough to get back those six quarts of blood. He looked at Daniel, who was now asleep from exhaustion, and went over to Liska. He hadn't seen any House episode dealing with such thing, though he figured that the diagnostic was easy and therefore it would make a poor subject.
"And we have enough of the antibiotics for the treatment?" Aron said, figuring out that moment how to get more near instantly, and his tone of voice reflected that.

"We haven't had to use much of the heavy stuff, as much of the bacteria here simply doesn't recognize us." Dr. Scott said. "We have a donor pool and people can come in on a moment's notice to give blood until we have enough, but I'm hoping we won't have to do that and that the Vancomycin will do the trick."
<<< What blood type?>>>
"Maybe we could find them." Kendall looked down at the street hopefully.

"We could. If they haven't been scared off by what happened here last time," said Ebony, thinking of the time she had confronted Grayston right in this very hotel a couple of months ago.

((Aron is B- but I had designed them with different blood types, so Daniel would be O-))
"I guess that is one of the heavy stuff." Aron said. He put his hand on Liska's shoulder, unsure of what was going through her mind in her silent listening. He was trying to give her some reassurance.

"We're going to drain and clean the wound now." Dr. Scott waved to the nurse who was bringing up instruments and supplies. Mia put the IV drip in, administered a local anesthetic close to the wound site and set out everything else in readiness.
"They probably know that Grayston is no longer with us." Kendall looked up and down the street. "What did your friends look like?"

"Probably," nodded Ebony, "Tempest is a 2006 Camaro who has a dark grey paint job with storm designs on her side. Inferno is a 2002 Honda Civic with a black paint job and flame designs on his sides. Both have brown eyes."

Daniel moaned slightly as feeling the needle close to his sore injury, but that seemed to be the extend of what he could do.
Aron looked at Daniel for a second as hearing him. "You probably want us to wait outside." He said. He reckoned the proceture would not be pretty anyway.
((Sleep, puppet please))
