whisper.
    “That’s why they’re hanging around,” Dartan replied. He grabbed Aleric’s shoulder. “And why we’re not. If he comes back, we definitely don’t want to be here.”
    “What if someone else is here when he comes back?” Aleric asked. “If it’s the same one that attacked the troll, he’s trying to draw me out. Maybe he sent the goblins on purpose.”
    Dartan shook his head. “There’s no way he knew Lilian was Dr. Worthen’s daughter. That has to be a coincidence. The goblins are drawn to his darkness; you know that. If he comes back, they’ll do whatever he says.”
    “What if they already are?” Aleric asked.
    Dartan didn’t answer. Aleric followed the vampire back to the vehicle. The werewolf tossed him the keys before Dartan could climb into the passenger seat. The vampire caught them with his quick reflexes and looked down at the objects on his palm.
    “Why are you giving me these?” Dartan asked.
    Aleric shrugged. “You hate my driving, so it’s your turn. Just remember that the humans in Edge City are on the aggressive side compared to what I’ve seen in Blays.”
    Dartan slid into the driver’s seat and started the car. Aleric took a seat, glanced back to ensure that none of the goblins were showing signs of waking up, then looked at Dartan.
    “Are we going?”
    Dartan reached for his seatbelt. “I’d buckle up,” the vampire suggested.
    “Why?” Aleric asked.
    “Because I’ve never driven before, either,” Dartan said.
    Aleric stared at him as the vampire backed up the car.

    “I can’t believe you lied,” Aleric said as he held open the door with one foot and stepped back to let the vampire through.
    “I didn’t lie,” Dartan pointed out. “I merely commented on the awfulness of your driving. I didn’t say I had also driven.”
    Aleric rolled his eyes. “It was implied.” He almost dropped one of the three goblins in his arms, but he shuffled the other two and caught it back up. He let the door shut behind them. “And you were much worse.”
    Dartan nodded. “Much, much worse. You get to drive from now on.”
    “I think we’re both on foot,” Aleric replied.
    He pushed the door open to the Emergency Room. A patient sitting on one of the chairs across the floor took one look at the goblins in their arms and started to scream.
    Aleric and Dartan backed out quickly.
    “Uh, to the D Wing?” Dartan suggested.
    “Definitely,” Aleric agreed.
    The door opened as they made their way down the hall. They both turned.
    “It’s good to see you, Dr. Wolf and Orderly Dartan, I’m glad you caught more goblins even if you are scaring the pants off our patients,” Nurse Eastwick said.
    “Why does he get to be the doctor and I’m the orderly?” Dartan asked.
    “Because he won’t suck his patients’ blood,” Nurse Eastwick replied.
    Dartan paused, then nodded. “Fair enough.”
    The nurse fell in beside Aleric. “We have one patient responding well to the last antidote. Dr. Worthen is anxious to try these on Lilian. She’s taken a turn for the worse.”
    Worry gripped Aleric’s heart. “How so?”
    “Her vitals are dropping,” the nurse replied. “The sooner we can find her antidote, the better.”
    Aleric nodded. “We’ll get the scales extracted and head to Lilian’s room for the first tests. Will you send Gregory to the D Wing with some more syringes?”
    “Right away, Dr. Wolf,” the nurse replied. She headed back up the hall.
    “I don’t think it’s fair that you’re the doctor,” Dartan complained. He pushed the door open with his shoulder and made his way through to the D Wing.
    Aleric shoved the door to the Dark fae side open and waited for the vampire to pass by.
    “Like she said, I’m not going to use my patients as thirst quenchers.” He dropped the goblins onto the closest table with a relieved sigh. The last thing he wanted was for them to awaken in his arms.
    “I’m not going to drink my patients,”
