The human probably didn’t even know that I had taken any of his blood.

The doctor was busy wiping Oberon’s wounds to make sure everything was in place. To make sure he didn’t miss anything, he sent Oberon to an MRI device in the same building. It gave him a picture of Oberon’s entire body. His left arm and right leg showed that they had been broken. After the MRI, the doctor gave Oberon a glass of tequila to dull the pain. The doctor had to re-break both the leg and arm, and I know it hurt like… well, it hurt. Unfortunately, vampires can’t receive painkillers or anesthesia. That isn’t completely true—you can fill us up with enough dope to kill every human in a large city without doing anything to us. It will only annoy the vampire. Liquor works briefly. The doctor had plenty of tequila and gave Oberon a glass before each re-break. It helped, but Oberon wasn’t pleased to be there.

Within an hour, Oberon was healed enough to go. We stayed in the basement of the doctor’s medical building for the day. In addition to being a vampire hospital, the building served as the doctor’s lair. He made a room available to us. Maybe he did that for all his patients, but I thought it was a nice gesture.

The local vampires paid us a million dollars for the job. That’s about €800,000. It was the single biggest payment we’d ever received. In a way, I think we were working cheap. I came close to losing Oberon.

The next night I went back to Ojai to find Oberon’s mask. It didn’t take long, because the mask smelled like my husband, and that is simple for me to track. I also found what was left of his Sahara tablet PC. Hopefully he had it backed up. He probably had an extended warranty. I really wanted to see him explain that he needed a replacement because it had been shredded during a vampire attack. I wanted pictures of that one.

Lonny came out in the Gulfstream. He must have sensed my initial call for help and left immediately. He was there to carry Oberon back to New York whenever he was ready to go.

Oberon could have flown without a jet, but Lonny showed us that he has a real stubborn edge. Good to know.

We got Oberon to an airport in Long Beach. It was quite a drive, and I’m sure there were closer airports. Lonny was running the show, and we let him.

As soon as we got Oberon onto the bed in the back of the Gulfstream, I heard the jet engines start. Lonny crawled onto one side of Oberon. I was on the other side. We didn’t move until we landed in New Jersey. It was almost dawn, so the three of us spent the day on the jet.
