Clarke and Sammy strode down the bright, clean corridor with the casual indifference of people who belonged there.

Even though they absolutely did not.

Ashley had battered the Wards around Oakdale Regional into submission, casting her long-range Dispels freely now that detection was no longer a concern. It took her only a few hours to wreck the hospital Wards, and now it was Clarke and Sammy’s turn.

Clarke wore a black suit with a dark purple tie, fists clenched, ID swaying from his lanyard. His sharp facial features emphasized the unfriendly scowl, purple skin giving way to long ears, white hair tied back in a ponytail. Sammy strode a few steps behind him, clad in a black dress with a stack of folders clutched under an arm. Her short blonde hair dipped at an angle across her unnaturally beautiful face, partially obscuring one eye. Her lips were a severe line.

Clarke took a left, following Ashley’s instructions on where the Wards had been strongest. A nurse passed them, her bushy hair shot with gray.

“Administrator Pryce?” The woman’s eyes widened, her voice edged with subtle fear. “And Hatchett? I thought you two were on vacation.”

Clarke met her with penetrating red eyes but said nothing. That struck him as the way a bastard like Pryce would treat his master’s food. The sharp stare worked, and the nurse frowned worriedly and hurried past them.

The woman hadn’t noticed his dark elf features; vampiric hexes twisted the occult into the mundane, but the disguise was still important. If it had been incomplete—a more natural coloration instead of purple, for example—the woman would have known something was off, even if she couldn’t put her finger on what precisely was wrong.

Clarke pushed through a set of double doors and marched past the nurses’ station. One of the women glanced up and gasped. The sharp inhale drew the attention of two more nurses, and their combined anxiety shot through Clarke’s senses. He cut rapidly through the examination rooms, and Sammy came up alongside him once they were alone.

“I get the feeling these two weren’t regulars in this part of the hospital,” she whispered.

“Can’t be helped,” he whispered back. “We don’t know our way around or what their daily habits were like. If someone confronts us, we’ll bluff our way past.”

“I doubt that’ll be necessary.” Sammy glanced over her shoulder. “Did you see the way they looked at us?”

“Yeah. Hard to miss.”

“What did those two do here?”

“Nothing good.”

Clarke picked up a conversation from down the hall. He held a finger up to his lips, and Sammy nodded. They passed a doctor in a white coat discussing something on his clipboard with a nurse. The nurse patted his arm urgently, and the doctor looked up with a start. He gulped once he recognized them.

“Sir? Ma’am?” The doctor nodded to each of them. “Aren’t you supposed to be⁠—”

“We’re back early.” Clarke made a sharp gesture to his side. “Out of our way.”

“Of course, sir!” The doctor put his back to the wall, clutching his clipboard protectively.
