Geoffrey

United Medical Implements and Supply

Toledo, Ohio

Geoffrey watched Jasmin disappear into the medical supply shop and wondered once again why he'd agreed to such a risky plan. Actually that wasn't fair, he knew exactly why he'd agreed. He couldn't bring himself to give up on Melody while there was even a slight chance that she was still alive and in need of his help. She never would have ended up in trouble if not for him. He owed her that much and more.

Even so, it felt very much like they were risking everything on a single throw of the dice. Jasmin had explained enough about shape shifter challenge law for him to understand that she couldn't just stroll up and challenge the leader of another pack to single combat. She was going to have to make her way through each and every member of the pack who was willing to fight her first.

Jasmin was confident that she'd be back up to full strength by the time they made it up to Minnesota, but Geoffrey wasn't stupid. By the time she'd fought two or three of her own kind she was probably going to be even weaker than she was now.

The entire plan was madness but Geoffrey didn't have a better one to offer up. They couldn't just hang around the other pack's territory hoping that someone from the Coun'hij would swing by for a visit. Jasmin was confident that the other pack would smell Geoffrey sooner or later and come after him, and even if that wasn't the case there was still the fact that Ben was getting weaker by the hour and there was no telling what kind of privations Melody was suffering through.

They needed the location of the Coun'hij soon and this seemed like the only way to get what they needed.

Ben started twitching and Geoffrey turned back to check on him. It didn't happen often, but sometimes Ben had to be physically restrained to make sure that he wouldn't pull his IV out. A few strands of thought reflexively slipped free of Geoffrey's skull, but he pulled them back before they could make contact with Ben.

He wanted to help Ben and Jasmin out, but it was just too dangerous right now. More and more he was coming to believe that Jasmin was who she said she was, but that didn't necessarily mean that Ben was who she thought he was.

There was no telling what kind of changes had been made to his mind. Even Rachel seemed to think that the kill switch that other vampire had implanted was nothing more than a construct designed to end Ben's life, but just because that was what they thought was going on didn't mean they were right.

The more Geoffrey thought about it, the surer he became that there was more going on than just a simple kill switch. Any vampire who was strong enough to implant a kill switch was going to be skilled enough to make it work like
