[b]Heather - Road - Imogen[/b]

Heather looked to her side as Imogen appeared. She gave a humorless laugh and shook her head. "How do we keep getting into these situations Imogen?" she asked. "Us women kicking ass while the guys are off God knows where?"

The men reached them and the fight started. Heather was too concerned about staying to notice that they had company. Before any serious damage could be done the guys showed up.
"Thanks for coming," Heather said but her voice sounded muffled and slurred to her. What was wrong with her? She shook her head and nearly fell over. Her head felt light and heavy at the same time.
By the time DeSean was screaming for everyone to leave Heather was swaying where she stood. She prayed someone else was going to drive because she sure as hell couldn't. But of course that was not in the cards. So she manned up like the bitch that DeSean had called her and got into the drivers seat. It took several moments for her head to stop spinning enough to get the keys in the ignition and get going. She followed the others as best as she could, weaving and falling behind several times.

Now that she had time to think she knew what was going on : light-headedness, dizziness, the chills.. she had a fever. Damn it! They didn't have time for this!
She wasn't an idiot. She knew if she didn't get some treatment soon that it would just get worse. As a fever went up so did the probablility of hallucinations, black-outs, memory loss and eventually death. Her brain would fry like an egg.

But she drove on. There was no one else to do it, so she had to. She had to hold out and hold on.

When they finally stopped and everyone started getting out of the car and talking about their next move, Heather stumbled towards them, the rain pelting her. The jacket had come loose from the knot she had tied and was open, leaving little to the imagination. Bruises, bites and scratches were visible on her skin from the attack.

"Guys?" she said, her voice sounding like it was coming from a long tunnel. "I think we have a prob..." she didn't get to finish as her eyes rolled back in her head and she went down.
Anyone who felt her head would feel the blazing heat of the fever that was getting worse by the moment.
