"Last I checked, she wasn't." Rene responded.
"That WAS about 2 hours ago, though." he said.
"Don't expect she'll be up for a while, though." he then admitted.
"Why?" Jaden asked.
"CO poisoning is serious business." Rene responded. "We detox'd her pretty quickly, but it'll still take her body a bit to get itself back up to snuff." he reasoned further.
"...mm." Jaden mumbled.

"Makes sense. I hadn't expected her to be awake, but she could have, for all anyone knows." Sydney commented.

It took a couple of days before Desiree woke. When she did, she felt better than she had expected, but at the same time, she had no idea what the hell had happened. The last she'd remembered was carrying food to the window for the little kitten she'd taken to feeding around her place.
"The hell...?" She wondered as she sat up and looked around. She recognized where it was that she found herself, but she hadn't known how she got there.

As she looked around, she saw her headphones on the chair beside her. She put them on, and as she did so, she heard the door open, and saw Rene step inside.
"Ah." he said.
"You're awake. Good." he commented, making his way over.
"How are you feeling?" he asked her.
"Anything concerning or unusual?"

Desiree met Rene's gaze before pausing.
'I..." she started.
"No... aside from an extreme confusion. I... Rene, why am I here?" She asked.
"The last thing I remember is going to give that little kitten some food."

"Yeeeeeah..." Rene muttered.
"See, that's what's scary." he said.
"Carbon monoxide is odourless and colourless." he went on.
He then pulled up a chair, and sat beside her.
"You passed out from CO poisoning, Desiree."

"Holy shit." Desiree said, in one of the rare instances of her swearing.
"That.... How the hell did I survive?" She asked.
"I know that would have killed me... how'd I manage to survive that?"

"Sheer luck and routine, essentially." Rene replied.
"Max called you for your weekly little pow-wow, and you didn't answer. So he continued to try and call and text, but you didn't answer. After about a half-hour, he got very worried." he continued.
"So he called Sydney to check on you. She couldn't at that moment, so she got Jaden to." he then told her further.
"Jaden made his way there, knocked and called and such, but didn't get an answer. He then heard that kitten mewling on your windowsill, so he went over to it. He looked inside and saw your hair on the floor. Concerned, he... let himself in... and found you collapsed on the floor, so he brought you here immediately." he then explained to her.
"So... yeah. It all started with your weekly routine, and how fortunate you were to collapse so close to your father's calling." he said.
"That, and Jaden." he finished.

Desiree just sighed lightly as Rene said all he did.
'I.... go figure." She commented after a few seconds.
"My detector for that just died last week. I was waiting on a new one." She told him. "And I mean it was completely dead. Like dead to te point that the device was borked." She added.
'So I suppose I have to thank Max, again, for saving my life." She said with a chuckle. There was no ill will there, it was purely a comical thing, that he again saved her.
"I think he's trying too hardf to make up for time lost."

Rene was silent, and then sighed as well.
"I'm not a psych, but I'd say that's correct." he said.
"Seems he probably feels really guilty about what happened to you after he left, and felt that his decision was the wrong path to take." he told her.
"But, on the flip side, you've built a life for yourself that some would envy. So he wonders if that was really the wrong decision, and the unknown factors can gnaw at the brain." he said further.
"Regardless, yeah, your device wasn't the only one that was defective." he then told her, changing the subject.
"Seems that that particular make and model had a tendency to break down, and most of them went out in your entire building." he informed her.

'Oh geez..." Desire commented in response to him telling her that the detector was dead for more than just her.
"Were there any fatalities?" She asked after a moment, a concerned expression on her face. There was one couple she was really hoping was all right, but she didn't know. Being a couple in worse health than the average person, they could have not made it.
"And is anything being done?"

Rene looked a bit uneasy when she asked her questions.
"Ah.... ha..." he muttered.
"Fatalities? Yeah... yeah, there were." he told her.
"An elderly woman on the 3rd floor was found deceased from the poisoning, as well as an elderly man on the 2nd." he said further. "Also, a druggie on the 3rd floor was found dead, and it was from the CO poisoning. Odds are the other crap in his system made it easier for the gas to do him in." he guessed.
"A number of people have been hospitalized, but I cannot tell you anything in specific, other than people are doing all they can to stabilize and save them." he finished. While this did not tell Desiree the exact condition of the couple she was worried about, at least they weren't dead... for now.
"As for what's being done, the building has been evacuated and temporarily quarantined, until the gas can be flushed out of the building, the defective detectors are looked into, and the proper legal course of action is at least started." he then answered her second question.

Desiree let out a breath of relief. Her friends hadn't been there.
"That... is quite unfortunate. I can see a legal battle from the families of those affected." She stated before pausing. 'Or rather, those that died."
'At least I didn't, and that's a gift I won't throw away." She commented with a light laugh.
"Although... hmmm... did someone grab my phone?" She asked

Rene just smirked.
"Mmhmm." he mumbled, before taking the device out of his pocket, and handing it to her.
"Jaden went back for it." he told her.
"Well... he said he went back to take care of something, but then saw your phone on the floor, so he grabbed it and gave it to me, figuring I'd be the first to see you when you were awake." he explained.
"And it's fully charged, don't worry." he then assured her.

"Didn't expect it to be charged." Desiree admitted.
"Anyway, thanks." She added ebfore sending a quick text.
Hey, thank you. Your worry saved my life. Is all she sent to Max, knowing he'd likely to know she was awake.

After a few seconds, she received a response.
So I've heard. it read.
Glad you're awake and hopefully feeling better. the next one said.
Rene just smiled.
"Hungry?" he asked.
"It's almost lunch time, if you'd like some food."

'Food would be wonderful." Desiree answered.
"I'd truly appreciate that, thank you." she added before sighing.
"Do you happen to know how long I'm banned from home?" She asked as she met his gaze. "An estimation, or so. I need to know how long I need to book a room for."

Rene raised an eyebrow when he heard that.
"Ahhhh.... ha." he said.
"Book a room?" he asked.
"Got news for you, but your building's quarantined for at least a couple of months." he told her. "And even the shittiest of motels can get expensive if stayed in for THAT long." he said further.
"Besides, I'd never let you stay in those seedy drug-den places." he added sternly.

Desiree just rolled her eyes.
"Can't stay with you, as you've got renovations going on and that means the Fyrane's are out too, because you and Kalin are there. Can't stay with Vincent because he's in Wales for the time being to help his sis, and MAx is out of the question as well, due to being on vacation for the next.. month? Or so." She commented.
"I'm nto sure who else would let me stay with them for that length of time."

"Huh." Rene muttered.
"I suppose so." he said.
"If only you had another friend." he commented.
"One that you were close to. One that you shared some common interest with." he went on, scratching at his chin.
"Maybe one that you share a professional interest in." he then said.
"That'd be swell. If only you had another magician friend or something."

"Rene, don't dick around with me, please." She said.
"And just because Jaden and I have a common interest and we are friends, does not mean we're anywhere near the level of trust that would be required on both parts to be rooming together." She commented.
"I trust him, yes, but how does he know I won't sabotage anything of his?" She paused a moment.
"And how do I know he won't have an issue with my eye?"
