And what of my mate? She's the one in the hospital. To Marc, Matt said, "As Brandon's guardian, I claim that my right to lead the hunt comes before yours."

Marc gently passed the baby to Josephine and got to his feet. "I've got to disagree with you on that, Matt."

"Marc, I don't want to fight you," Matt said as the bigger Prime approached.

Marc gave a crooked grin. "Because you think I'll win?"

Matt smirked. "Hell, no, because you still smell like fish."

The concrete was rough and cold beneath her hands and knees. Phillipa didn't understand why that bothered her more than anything else, when the whole world was shutting down around her. Cold concrete was the only thing that seemed real. In the distance there was shouting, and shooting, and a baby crying. She knew she should open her eyes, because somebody needed to do something heroic, and it was up to her. But opening her eyes would only make the dizziness worse, and then she'd throw up. There was nothing heroic about vomit. Cold sweat rolled off her, and the shaking was getting worse.

Somehow she got to her feet and forced her eyes open. That was when she saw the vampire. Her vision was fuzzy, and it was as if she was peering down a long, darkening tunnel, but at the end of the tunnel she could clearly see a vampire standing there. Though it was shaped like a man, long fangs sprouted from its mouth and claws warped the shape of its hands. And its eyes were glowing an angry, fierce yellow.

"Matt?"

You do realize that this is a hypoglycemia-induced nightmare, right?

Right, she agreed with the sensible part of her subconscious.

"Matt?" was still the first thing she said as she woke up.

"He's not here."

The baritone voice was familiar. It was warm, and nice. She'd never have a dream about him being a vampire.

She turned her head and opened her eyes. She wasn't surprised to find out that she was in a hospital room, or to see him seated by the bed. "Hi, Pete."

He put down the magazine he'd been reading. "Do you want me to call him?"

"Of course not." Her heart said differently, but her heart was no more reliable than any other part of her body. "He left for England today."

She sat up slowly, and smiled tentatively at her friend. "It is still today, right?"

He glanced at his watch. "You were brought to the emergency room four hours ago. You've been napping."

She yawned and rubbed the back of her neck. "I haven't gotten a lot of sleep the last few nights." She felt herself blush, and saw that Pete noticed. She cleared her throat. Then she gasped as memory rushed back. "Jo! Brandon! Are they all right?" She swung her legs off the side of the bed.

Pete grabbed her shoulders as she started to stand. "They're fine. Stay where you are." He gave her shoulders an affectionate squeeze before taking his seat again. She watched his expression change from friendly concern to the neutrality of an investigator.
