Morris regained consciousness sore and so very hungry, balancing at the very edge of the uncontrollable ravenous need that had started all this business with the Aryan Legion. Rather than fall into that pit again, he decided to head to the hospital, because at this time of night there would certainly be someone he could unleash himself on. He tore a Pathway into the shadows of the hospital carpark, right by where the drains were backing up for the fifth time this month. Stanton General had one of the main Emergency Rooms in the south of the city, filled to bursting with the usual Saturday night mix of injured drunks, gunshot victims and addicts trying desperately to get another prescription for Vicodin. Perfect. One of the addicts, a gangly man with a straggly beard and bad teeth, was hassling a nurse a head shorter than him who looked like she had other people who really needed her help more and security were being kept busy elsewhere.
That did nicely. Morris picked the man up by the scruff of his neck, asking the nurse politely if the guy was bothering her, and, when she nodded, proceeded to carry him out of the building. Then the idiot decided to do a stupid thing and pulled a stolen scalpel on Morris, and that just gave him an excuse to properly hurt the guy. Eh, at least they can’t say he didn’t need the drugs now. With that dealt with and feeling a little bit better about cleaning up the city, Morris found his way to Diana’s room only to find her leaving and not even having the decency to talk to him. Cold shoulder the whole way down in the elevator until they were outside and away from whoever she thought was listening to them. She seemed happy the job was done, which was something, but he figured he’d have to keep the PI on the job. He might turn up some more Nazis that needed dealing with.
They killed a little time waiting for Jane to get there with the car to pick them up and get them all home. Linda was up waiting for him, worrying herself despite everything he said. He’d even got some candy for the kids on the way back but they were already in bed. Maybe it was time for a family day tomorrow, away from Nazis and vampires and weird stuff.
