"𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐑𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐓."

"Thanks, I know."

"Not what I meant," Derek gave May a look. He was sitting on top of her desk as she sat on her chair, the back of his hand pressed against her forehead. "I mean, you're still burning up. You sure you're ready to go back to the field?"

"Ready," she nodded firmly. "It's just a fever. I have my medicine, my tissues, and," she pulled a surgical mask out of the pocket of her jeans, "a mask."

"What for?"

"To not get anyone else sick, duh," she rolled her eyes. "Y'know what, I'm gonna put it on right now."

A week after the whole ordeal with the LDSK, three cases that came right after the other: first, arresting a man named Carl Arnold who killed families; second in Baltimore, trying to save an undercover cop who was kidnapped and was being remotely tortured by a hitman; and third, in West Texas, a case that put Elle in danger on her train ride. Throughout all this, May was still not better. In fact, her temperature fluctuated dangerously, especially during instances where a member of the team gets put in peril.
