can.”
Red’s eyes fluttered shut, and Rhiannon immediately stood and faced Prieto. “Did you get those things I ordered? The saline, the IV administration kit?”
He nodded, eyes focused on the phoenix who was resting, but still panting and wheezing for air. “Yes, they were delivered yesterday. What can you do to help her?”
Rhiannon studied him a moment, struck by the emotions she could see roiling in his eyes. “I need all of those supplies. And hot water, enough to give her a sponge bath. And take this with you.” She handed him the trash can. “Don’t bother cleaning it. Just get her another one. Or maybe two. Can you do all that?”
Now he was staring at her, eyes narrowed as if confused.
“Prieto,” she hissed. “Get a move on.”

P rieto flinched, then gave her a sharp nod and exited the room. Rhiannon didn’t waste any time, retrieving the cell phone from her pocket and quick dialed, even as she searched for some anti-nausea meds.
“Hey,” she said in a low, breathless voice when Lynlee answered. “How are you feeling?”
“Oh for goodness sakes... seriously, if one more person asks me that stupid question, I’m going to go postal. I’m fine. I’m as fine today as I was yesterday.”
“Would you stop that?” Finding what she was searching for, she popped a little pill from the bottle and coaxed Red to open her mouth so she could place it under her tongue. “Are you up for some action?”
There was shuffling on the phone, and she imagined Lynlee was jumping up out of bed. “Are you kidding? I would kill for some action.”
“Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. Although Beck’s probably going to kill me for involving you.”
“Forget about Beck. What are we doing?”
Rhia shifted her phone between her neck and shoulder while she started looking for some clothing for Red. The woman wasn’t naked, but with as sick as she was, she needed more than her thin prison garb. She found a thick sweater and a long coat, then worked to get Red’s limp arms into the holes of the sweater first and then the other.
“Where... where are we going?” the woman asked, voice hoarse.
“Holy crap!” Lynlee cried out. “Prison break. Yes!” Rhiannon could just about imagine her pulling her fist to her waist in triumph. “I knew it was a good idea. What do you need me to do?”
“I dropped my amulet in the area Prieto said magic can get through. You’ll need to orb there. It’s a long winding way to get to this cell, but I’ll text you the directions. I sent Prieto to get some supplies, so hopefully that will give me time to get Red out of here so that we can meet up with you.”
“On it. Be right there.”
They hung up, and Rhia quickly tapped out a message with the turns Lynlee should make to find them before she pulled Red up and tucked some blankets around her.
“I don’t think I can do this.” The phoenix started hacking again, and Rhiannon quickly grabbed a washcloth to hold over her mouth to catch the bloody mucous.
“I’ll help you. I’m a werevamp, and I’m strong enough to practically carry you down the hall. But you’ve got to try to stay quiet. I’ve never seen a guard in here, just Prieto, so I’m not sure how much trouble this is going to be.”
“There are poltergeists. If they catch us, they’ll sound the alarm. And then all hell will break loose. Literally.”
The way she said it told Rhiannon this wouldn’t be her first attempt to get out of this place. After just a few steps towards the door, Red nearly collapsed. When she looked at the woman, she read regret in her sickly expression, but they didn’t have time for apologies. Instead Rhiannon reached down and hauled the frail red-head up and over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Red made a mewling sound of pain, but otherwise just wrapped her arms around Rhia’s waist and held on.
