Nathanael's pov:
Similarly to predators stalking our prey, we, Avery and I, are sat waiting for… Dr Dale to leave the hospital before going in. Not as glorious as some would expect it. On second thought, I realize Dale embodies the role of predator better in this scenario.
But speaking of predators, my conversation with Horace this morning comes back running. Every discovery, every answer we seem to reach begets new mysteries instead of solving old ones.
First Clarice and now the vampires we deal with in a direct manner. I can only wonder which scandal will tarnish the reputation of my clan to the point of no-return?
"Isn't that Dr Dale, sir?" Avery's remark plucks me out of my train of thought.
Following his gaze, mine lands on a familiar figure. A man of confident stride, and a steady heart rate exiting the hospital building.
"It sure is," I say.
