Chapter 20: Suspicions Rising

I did, in fact, lose consciousness.

They—the doctors at our local mega hospital—say it was from blood loss and insist I had no infection at all, which is pretty damn suspicious. My memory was very intact after I finally regained consciousness, and I clearly recall Logan mentioning that my legs already looked infected.

My bullshit radar pings hard, especially when I find out there's no copayment or deductible for this stay. It's all covered under some sort of fund for victims of supernatural crime.

When did we have a fund for that?

All very fishy.

After three days in the hospital, they send me home. Aside from a few tiny scars on my legs and a bunch of lies from the doctors in charge, I'm as good as new.

Yeah, right.
