On the ride to the penthouse, Neo explained that he had something for what ailed her.<br/>Lexi rolled her eyes at him,<br/>“Crown and coke would do the trick. “ she insisted. Neo just smirked at her.<br/><br/>Once in the room, he went to his cache of bottles and pulled out one of a different shape than the hair dye ones.<br/><br/>“what does it do?” she asked, eyeing it suspiciously.<br/><br/>“Drink this elixir just a bit. You absolutely look like a gibbering wreck of shit, so you're going to need some healin'." He told her and then went to pour himself a whisky.<br/><br/>Lexi held the bottle up to the light and didn’t see anything disgusting like a scorpion in it so she did as he instructed. The contents tasted like ass and she told Neo in no uncertain terms. His face was impassive but let her know that she better not spit it out.<br/><br/>First, it went down like the fumes from an ammonia plant. Then when it hit her stomach, she thought for sure that she would throw up. A great shudder rose from her shoulders and her hair stood on end. Lexi blinked twice trying to make the room come into focus.<br/><br/>“My God, Neo, what is in that shit?” she asked, scrubbing her lips with the back of her wrist.<br/><br/>Lexi felt lightheaded and had to sink down carefully on the Persian rug. Neo sipped his whisky and watched her impassively. Shaking her head, she finally was able to clear it and shortly rejoined him as a viable human being.<br/><br/>Glancing in the mirror, she saw that 1. Her wild red hair was standing on end  and that two, there was no blood on her body, not her own and not belonging to some one else and 3. she felt fabulous.<br/><br/>“You could patent that stuff for sure.”
