CHAPTER TWENTY

Enforcer HQ

Sandra had a hell of a time figuring out the controls to the pod, but she’d seen Valerie doing it earlier and had finally managed to get it in the air. Now she was almost laughing with joy at the sight of old Manhattan, lit up in the otherwise black landscape.

There was Enforcer HQ, standing tall above the other buildings, the line of blue light along its side impossible to miss even from here.

“We did it,” she said, putting a hand on Diego’s knee beside her.

He looked at her with a pained expression, and then turned to look back at Valerie as she moaned in pain.

“We have to get that silver out of her ASAP,” he said.

Sandra breathed, working to fight the fright from her voice as she said, “I’m going as fast as I can. Plus, I’m pretty sure it won’t kill her, just hurt like shit.”

“You know you curse more when you’re scared?”

She pinched his leg. “Shut the fuck up.”

“Ouch!” he laughed and took her hand in his. “I rest my case.”

They came in low enough to the wall to signal that it was them, then moved on to the side of Enforcer HQ where pods could dock.

Soon they were in, checked by a vampire who knew them well enough even though they didn’t know him. The vampire carried Valerie from the pod while Sandra helped Diego. They made their way to the infirmary as quick as possible.

“What happened to her?” Royland said, having just moved up to her side at vampire speed. “Is she…?”

“She’s fine,” Sandra said. “Just… we have to get some silver out of her.”

He cringed, but then nodded. “I’ll go ahead and get them prepped.”

In a blur of speed, he was gone.

Soon Duran appeared and took the other side of Diego, helping to move faster, and then Royland was back to help with Valerie. They burst through the doors and two vampires were there waiting with the tools they’d need to patch up Valerie, and meat and blood to help the healing process, for Diego and Valerie respectively.

When the two were out of Sandra’s care, she stepped back, found a chair, and plopped down into it.

“They’ll be just fine,” Royland said, sitting in the chair next to her.

He stared at Sandra long enough for her to finally say, “Yes, okay? We got him.”

“Commander Strake is… dead?” He leaned in, doubt creasing his face. “You’re sure of it.”

“The only reason Valerie didn’t need any blood to heal up on the way over was that she’s quite full from his. And yeah, we saw him die.”

She told him the whole story, doing her best to block out the moaning and groaning each time more silver was removed from Valerie. Finally, she got to the part where the silver grenade had gone off, and he just shook his head in disbelief.

“Good thing your man wasn’t in there when that happened,” he said. “Otherwise, you’d be on your own right now.”

She looked at Diego who was getting stitched up, and for the first time it really hit her that she could’ve lost him tonight.
