Kapitel 66: | Such A Bitch

Jack watched as Lucy pondered his words for a minute before responding. 'Maybe it just seems that way to him,' she suggested. 'I'm talking about the citywide picture. The evidence suggests there are fewer reports of fresh turnings and a greater number of newbloods coming back for more serum.' She grinned at him. 'Don't you get it? The serum fixes the new blood cravings without them having to go out and bite someone. And because fewer people are being bitten, the wolf population explosion has slowed right down. The results add up.'

'And you have access to tons of plasma, 'cause this is a hospital,' Jack reasoned.

Lucy grinned. 'Neat, isn't it?'
