Fever. Without medication, it represented another few agonizing hours for Liz in the frying pan.
Beauty Child and the assault team only carried emergency trauma and anti-inflammatory drugs; they didn't have the luxury of stocking a full range of pharmaceuticals, let alone fever reducers.
Beauty Child looked at one of the team members and said, "Go see if you can get in touch with headquarters, will you?"
"Yes, Mrs. Flack."
Soon, the team member came running back and reported, "Mrs. Flack, we've established contact with headquarters."
There was hope for the helicopter!
Liz could be saved!
Before Forsythia Brown's joy could settle, she heard the team member continue, "Mrs. Flack, headquarters reports that the airspace above the lawless region is intense with gunfire as forces are closing in on the pharmaceutical factory. It's not advisable for the helicopter to land. HQ suggests we break out to the north and exit the lawless region where someone will meet us."
