Drake stared out the window where the vampire had jumped. There was something odd about him, but Drake couldn't place it, and on top of that, he knew who Lylanna was. Turning, he heard the conversation about their escape routes as he left the office. Sighing, he said, "Personally, I think teleporting would be quicker and easier. The only problem is Cyllan... She could probably withstand the teleport, but it's not my choice."Walking over to the group, he looked them over and said, "If we do teleport, I'll take Lylanna and Lutessa, Celia, you can concentrate on Cyllan. Otherwise, we'll need to get a running start out that window. I have no idea how big this explosions going to be so, we may want to pick somewhere a bit far... the train station would probably work... s**t we're out of time." As soon as Drake finished his sentence, there was a loud explosion below them and the building shook. An explosion ripped through the floor nearby and sent pieces of the building everywhere. He placed his arms on Lylanna and Lutessa and teleported them to the station, but not before catching an steel pole through his back.
Coming out of the teleport, he looked and saw they arrived at the train station safely. He made sure everyone was okay, then he looked down to see a large metal pole sticking out of his chest, "Well... that's not supposed to be there... hmmm..." Drake reached down and pulled on the piece of metal, ripping it out of his chest. Tossing the metal aside, he grabbed a blood pack from his coat and quickly drank it, the wound healing in the process.

Feeling disoriented Lylanna swayed slightly as they reappeared from the teleport. Drake's scent was lost in the musk scent of Lutessa's, but she had could clearly see the metal he had been hit with and she winced slightly when he jerked it out. she was happy for Lutessa's scent, other wise she probably would not have been able to think strait till his wound healed.
A Cry behind her made her turn to see the red wolf collapse on the ground near Celia, blood running from her wounds and her mouth. "I don't think Cyllan could last the trip home," Lylanna said wondering if there was anyone nearby they could trust to at least pull the bullets from her body, that seemed to have gotten very close, if not into, some of the major organs of her body. Humans might be able to help, but who? do you take a were to the vet? or a hospital?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A hand on her shoulder and Cyllan felt a chill enter her body as she was transported. A burning pain exploded in her mind as they reached the platform and Cyllan collapsed with a cry. laying there eyes opened she wished for the pain to go away when she started to feel the Chill burn away, slowly her body seemed to return to normal temperature, then begin to burn. Panting she scrambled to get up again and was reminded of the silver bullets in her chest, stomach and now hip. loosing all sense of rational thought as the silver bullet in her chest lodged it's self into her lung she coughed up blood and tried once again to get to her feet. wanting nothing more than to run away and find a safe place to lick her wounds. Slowly she was able to get to her feet but her body would not move.

Drake sighed as he watched Cyllan coughed up blood. In response to Lylanna's comment, Drake said, "I could try phasing and pulling the bullets out, but... I can only risk one try, any more and it'd hurt more than help, so whatever I can get is what I get. Then we can take her to a hospital or a vet." He looked at Cyllan who was unresponsive. Drake smelled her scent; he knew if he tried to phase the bullets out, she would take it as an attack and fight back. He looked to Lylanna and said, "I need you to hold her so she doesn't run or tear my head off." Nodding, Lylanna set Lutessa down and walked behind Cyllan. Sighing, Drake concentrated, he moved towards Cyllan and stuck his arm out, aiming for her chest. When he phased his hand through her chest and she howled, Lylanna held Cyllan as best as she could. Drake found the bullet quickly, it had been lodged lower in her right lung. He quickly grabbed it and pulled it out, phasing the silver with him. When he removed his hand, he quickly dropped the silver and kicked it away, having burnt his hand in the process. He looked at Cyllan and said, "We need to get her to a vet or a hospital... she won't last much longer with a silver bullet in her stomach... Celia, do you know anywhere we can take her in the area?"

Lylanna gripped the were as best she could, concentrating mostly on holding Cyllan's head down. they had tackled her to the ground to try the procedure, and Cyllan in her state was fighting back. Reaching to grab anything she could to get away. Lylanna placed most of her body weight on the Wolf's neck to keep her from moving away while Cyllan's body thrashed about.
"hurry" Lylanna said as she watched Drake faze his hand through the were's body. she felt the wolf tense under her body and let out a cry as she struggled harder against Lylanna's body. Cyllan coughed as Drake grabbed the bullet and jerked it from her body. Lylanna let go as Cyllan stumbled away snarling. Lylanna tried to wipe the were blood off her hands as she watched the red wolf move away then stop to watch them. It was sad to see a were in such a pitiful state, if she had been a regular canine she would have been put out of her misery a long time ago.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The pain in her chest and head subsided slightly as Cyllan sat and watched the vampires. her head began to clear as she lay where she was licking the blood off her legs where it leaked from her chest. the agony subsided just to her stomach and hip and she was starting to think clearly. She just watched silently where she opting to stay in the current form she had ruined her body enough changing as much as she had. Her lung was taking it's time in healing, but at least it was healing.

"The hospital is closer - just five minutes from here, though there is an emergency vet another fifteen minutes up the road from the hospital. If we take her to the hospital, she'll have to be in human form. They won't admit a wolf, and we'll have wasted time there."
Celia looked to Cyllan. "If you can phase, I suggest we get you to the hospital. The emergency vet is a traning facility, so there's less chance of some newbie passing out if we get you to the hospital. However, the choice is yours."
In the mean time, Celia considered the fastest way to get them there. The vamps could teleport, but Cyllan wouldn't last through another attempt. Celia thought for a moment when it came to her. Pulling a cell phone from her clevage, she speed dialed a number and waited. "Sam, I need you to meet me outside the subway station with the white van. Two minutes." Celia snapped the phone shut, and turned to the others. "A trusted friend of mine will be here in a minute with a big white van. The hospital is usually a five minute drive away - he'll have us there in two. The van is also big enough for Cyllan to change, if need be." In the distance, the sound of tires squealling along the pavement could be heard. "That's Sam. What say you?" Celia asked, looking at the group assembled.

Lylanna looked to Cyllan about to protest against taking a wolf to a hospital when she noticed the Were already starting to recover her human form. Lylanna had thought the were to be to far gone mentaly to beable to understand the conversation but it appeared as though she had regained some mental control.
"looks like Cyllan might cooperate," she said to Celia as the human's van came within sight. She stepped to Cyllan who growled in response but did not try to attack. Lylanna helped Cyllan to her feet and to the van before walking back to Lutessa and helped her into the van as well, amused by the look on the human male's face as he watched Cyllan change, he had obviously never seen a Were change before.

Sam had a bemused expression on his face as he watched the were change in the rear view mirror. "Never seen a were phase before. Celia, baby, you always seem to have the most interesting friends." He flashed Celia a grin before turning his attention back to the road. "I'm Sam, by the way. Sam Brown. Nice to meet you all." he said as they hurtled down the street, Sam laying on the horn the entire way as cars swerved out of their way, the answering unhappy horn blasts already fading into the distance.
Celia just shook her head, a slight smile on her face. "It's a wonder he even fits in this van." she thought as she looked him over. His impressive 6'6 form was packed into the drivers seat. Sam was built like a lumber jack, and bulked up like a football captain. One of his arms was easily as thick as Celia's waist. In no time at all, they were infront of the emergency entrance to the hospital.
Sam turned from the driver's seat and looked into the back. "All done back there?" He asked in his gruff but friendly voice. "I'll park the van, then meet you in there, babe." He turned his attention back to the group in the bed of the van. "Take whatever time you need."

"just get me the hell outa this vehicle" Cyllan grummbled as she kicked the back doors to the van open and nearly fell out. the Human's driving had been horrific and by the time they had reached the hospital, Cyllan was begging to feel the fresh steady and cool earth under her feet.
Lylanna quickly helped the were to her feet and proceeded to the hospital doors where several people waited to be treated for minor injuries. Maybe i should warn the vampires away from here she thought about all the blood the hospital would have.
"We need help right away, she has been shot" the woman behind the counter lazily looked up to her, having heard most excuses before. People trying to skip the waiting line cause they say there case is worse than others. She sighed as she reached for the paperwork and a pen and nearly dropped it when she saw Cyllan. The were was so out of it she wasn't even fighting Lylanna's assistance, even letting the Krusnik woman take some of her weight off her feet. Dropping the pen she jumped from her chair, "we need a litter in here stat" she shouted as she jumped to the hall, the response was immediate as a litter was rushed down the hall. several nurses helped lylanna to get her onto the litter. and then they rushed her out of the room.
Lylanna followed to the point that she could not follow no more. then she sat outside the room waiting for everyone else.

As the events unfolded, Drake merely followed in silence, simply watching impassively. His thoughts were elsewhere at the time; he was thinking about what had happened in the warehouse. His thoughts were mainly on the vampire that had injured Cyllan, there was something off about him, that he simply couldn't place. It bothered him that he couldn't figure out it was that was wrong about that vampire. His thoughts drifted from the vampire and to the fight; it had been easy for all of them, after all, they were quite a powerful team. His thoughts drifted to the fight in particular, and how beautiful Lylanna had looked when she was slaughtering the rats that Drake was forced to call kin. He thought about how easily her senses took over and she simply attacked him without realizing it. Sighing, he decided to get out of the van and follow the group inside the hospital.
Leaving Lutessa in the care of Celia and the man in the van wasn't exactly a choice, he trusted Celia to take care of her, even if trust wasn't exactly something of his she could have on a personal level. As he walked through the hospital following Lylanna and Cyllan, he felt eyes on him. He was stopped by a security guard who noticed the blood on his shirt and the pistols he had on him. "Sir, I'm gonna hafta ask you to leave. We can't have dangerous weapons like that in the hospital." Drake saw the guard reaching for his weapon, in case there was trouble. Drake simply sighed and stared directly into the guard's eyes, using a trick he had picked up from Celia, he said, "There's no problem. I'm a federal agent, and you're impeding my mission." The guard froze and opened his eyes wide. Stumbling back, he bowed his head in apology and let Drake pass.
As Drake passed the guard who was now staring blankly at the wall, he noticed that Lylanna couldn't follow the group anymore and was waiting just outside the door. Drake walked up to her and sat next to her, looking her over and smiling. He sighed and said, reasonably quietly, so no one els4e could hear them, but would be able to if they were close enough, "I've been meaning to ask you. What did you mean earlier when you said, 'there has to be another way'?" The comment bothered him, not in a bad way, but he couldn't figure out what she meant by it.

Lylanna was fully aware of Drake's presence when he entered the hospital and absentmindedly chewed on the tip of her thumb. the blood on his shirt was teasing her senses and she watched him handle the security guard and sit down next to her. "i hope you arent gonna leave him like that" she said then jumped slightly when he asked his question.
She wasn't sure why she had said that, "I just didn't want to use my blood" she replied quickly so he wouldn't get any ideas. she wasn't usually against being bitten. it was after all one of the weapons she as a Krusnik could use to her advantage. She thought about it to her self, no longer chewing on her thumb. Why did she not want to give him her blood, was it that she did not want him to die?
Her thoughts wandered back to the events in the cell and the vampire he had killed. Was he so different from that maniac that had been chained to the wall? He acted human, slightly old fashioned but he still seemed to keep his Humanity some what. she remembered the incident during their first mission and shuddered slightly.
She risked a glance at him, he was handsome for a vampire, she noted from a Krusnik view. Long face, healthy black hair long, but not too long like some of the Krusnik men her father had tried to get her to date. Noticing he was looking at her she quickly looked away, turning red slightly. He was a team mate, why wouldnt she trust him. Slowly she sighed, Nothing but trouble, dont even think about it she sighed as she waited and caught scent of his blood again. Damn why does he have to smell so good

As Drake stepped out of the van, Celia nodded to Sam, and they parked the van in a no parking zone. Celia used her gifts to convince the parking attendant the van was an emergency veichle and had the right to be there. Celia went back to the van and nodded again to Sam, indicating he should pick up Lutessa gently.
Sam lifted the unconscious woman from the back of the van, and carried her gently inside. Sam watched as Celia waved off the concerned nurses with that special trick of hers. Celia found an empty litter and motioned for Sam to lay Lutessa on the cot. Sam smiled and moved Celia out of the way so that he was pushing the cot. As they wound their way through the hospital, he noticed Celia was being quiet. Sam decided to bide his time until he could get a private moment with her.
A few minutes later, they rounded a corner and noticed Lylanna and Drake sitting against a wall. Sam rolled the gourney to rest against the wall across from them, and touched Celia's arm, indicating they should move away. "Celia, babe, I'm glad you're alright." Sam folded her into a hug, holding her close to him, glad to know she was safe. "That's him, isn't it?" he whispered, knowing she'd understand who he was referring to.
"Yes, that's him. My past." Celia smiled up at Sam, and put her hand on his cheek. "Thank you for being the one man I can always count on." She said as his burly arms went around her in another hug. Celia heard him breathe in the smell of her hair, and she had to work hard so as not to smell too much of him. All the same, she was still smiling when he loosened his hold, his arms coming to rest on the small of her back.

Drake shrugged at Lylanna's comment about not wanting to use her blood. If she didn't want to, that was fine with him, but he wondered why she wouldn't, even in that difficult scenario. He noticed Celia and Sam come around the corner, wheeling Lutessa up next to them. He watched as the two of them walked away, his right hand clenching unconsciously when Sam hugged Celia. Growling very lowly, he looked away, "Why am I so angry about that? It's not as though we're together anymore... But still... a human? She replaced me with a human?" Trying to push the thoughts out of his mind, he looked at Lylanna and asked, "Did you notice... something off about that vampire back at the warehouse? It's been bothering me, I can't think of what it was that was wrong about him though..." He tried desperately to keep his mind off of Celia and Sam. He just wanted Celia to be gone again, not dead gone, just out of his life again.

Lylanna could not help but notice Drake's reaction to Celia as she and the human Sam came to wait with them. Judging by what he was doing she guessed they had had some kind of intimate relations before they split. Noting this she looked away from both Drake and the pair, she did not know why she was embarrassed. "you and the krusnik woman?" the dead vampire's words hung in her mind and she shook her head to be rid of them.
The thoughts did no dissipate as he spoke to her, but they were set aside as she remembered the vampire, his orange eyes, the disgusting scent of his blood, "he definitely wasn't a vampire" or at least a natural one. the nurse interrupted her thoughts as she brought Lylanna a clipboard and some papers to fill out. she noticed the wary look the human gave Drake as she took the clip board and proceeded to fill out the billing information using her own account, she could be reimbursed by the organization later.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cyllan woke to the smell of blood, ammonia, bleach, and other scents that were particular to a medical room. she was aware of the needles attached to her body and the slight ace of the bullet wounds that, now free of the silver in her system, were starting to seal up nicely. "Check it out, i think this bullet might actually be made of silver" a nurse commented and Cyllan looked to see him staring at the damned lumps that sat in a dish pan covered in her blood, she growled as she began to sit up. "Your welcome to keep them" she said rubbing her head as the morphine they had given her still lingered in her head.
The doctors jumped and stared at her wide eyed as she sat up and started to pull the tubes and monitors off her. she was still in the tattered clothes she had been brought it thankfully so she did not need to walk out of the hospital in one of those paper gowns. Slowly she stood, and swayed, knocking into one of the rolling tables they had and causing a clatter. a nurse stumbled to grab it and the stuff that fell, but other than that no one moved. "Wait mam, it is highly unadvised that you try to leave so soon after surgery... Cyllan waved his words off as she found the exit and made her way to it. "Stiches will only get in the way" she said and pushed open the doors to find everyone in the hall.
"I'm flattered you guys came all this way to see me" she chuckled and noticed Lutessa on the cot. her demeanor changed and she glared at Drake, "she isn't hurt is she?" she snapped ready to rip someone's head off if she was.
Lylanna shook her head, "only sleeping, we are all waiting on you" she said standing while holding the clipboard to give to the nurse as they left. "if you want to carry her, we can be on our way"
Cyllan nodded her smile returning as she walked over to Lutessa and picked her up. she almost chuckled as she smelled her hair, it was just like years ago when she had been assigned to watch the young girl. smiling she walked out past the front desk and out of the building into the crisp morning air.

Sam reluctantly let go of Celia as her comrade emerged from the operating room, but he kept a hand on the small of her back as the group walked out of the hospital and into the fresh air.
"Well, we could take the truck. I'll take you to wherever it is you're going next. I promise I'll obey the speed limit." Sam promised with a sheepish grin to Cyllan. "Celia says get me there in five minutes, I get her there in two."
Celia smiled at Sam before turning her attention to Drake. "The vamp with the orange eyes doesn't sit right with me. He didn't make himself known while I was on the inside, so I don't know much about him. We need to figure out who he is, and who he was working for, because they knew we were coming, and they were prepared to take us out."
