 He heard someone say Daphne had thrown herself into the gunfire to save Mayor Lassiter, and it was a miracle she was alive. Declan knew it was no miracle. Anita stepped up to him and Lucas and took Lucas’s arm. “This hospital can’t treat werewolves and vampires,” she said. Before either Declan or Lucas could say anything, Jasper and Simon arrived. They gave one another suspicious looks and ran, along with Blair, to where Declan and Lucas stood. “Uh, a building full of bleeding humans probably isn’t the best place for me to be,” Simon said. “Yeah,” Lucas said. When his Uncle Jasper joined them, Lucas clamped his lips shut. Jasper spoke to Williard Moran and Anita. “How much help will you be?” “I haven’t opened anyone up since the first few years after medical school,” Williard said. Declan guessed he was over a hundred years old. “I think I can do a lot here,” Anita said. Jasper barked at one of the uniformed cops Declan knew was a werewolf. “Gower, get over here.” “Yes, sir?” she asked, ignoring the rest of them. “Get the injured werewolves and vampires to our compound clinic. Dr. Moran will coordinate the triage there.” He pulled out his phone. “We have doctors that I’m sure can deal with the injured vampires very well.” Gower stiffened and pulled in a breath. “Us and vampires?” Jasper turned on her. “Are you deaf? Yes. Some are seriously hurt, and they aren’t going to get proper treatment in this hospital.” He started talking into his phone. “Jacob, open the gates. We’ve got injured people coming. We need to let them into the clinic.” Jasper’s eyes glowed gold for a split second. “Get your head out of your ass. It’s city council and our Council, who cares if some of the injured are vampires? Now open the goddamn gates or I’ll drive through them myself!” Simon spoke up. “I’ll go help. I’ve a bit of field experience with the wounded and will take direction from your medical staff.” “Me too,” Blair said. “I don’t have any medical skills, but there must be other things I could do that would be helpful.” “Count me in,” Declan added. “If Jasper is willing to open your clinic, I’m more than willing to help.” He looked at Jasper and smiled. It was a little dicey, separating the humans to go into the hospital and getting the werewolves and vampires transported to the Coate family compound. Fortunately, there was a lot going on, many people coming into the hospital for many reasons, and enough confusion that they managed to accomplish their mission. Lucas took over the triage alone. Before Declan drove off in a werewolf ambulance, he watched in awe as Lucas directed the injured to their proper destinations. For the first time in Declan’s memory, all three factions had come together to survive a crisis.    Comments are closed.
