Back at the hospital; Dr. Foreman was paged and the page said another patient arrived in room #206. He immediately rushed to the room and was met by House and Cameron. House said, "Eric, we have another case like the patient in the other room; puncture wounds on the neck and one on his right torso. The Tzimisce symbol was again found near a wound and both House and Foremen knew the clan was getting desperate. House said, "start this man on 3 ccs of plasma and the same for the man in the other room." Cameron said, "House, we only have enough to sustain one man; for more, were going to have to get it from the blood bank." House said, "fine, do it; we have to find out how to stop their blood from being completely drained or were in real trouble." Eric also realized that soon a decision would have to be made as the sun was starting to set and more feeding would be going on. House presented these concerns to Wilson and he told him to inform Ecaterina of this and what their next move will be.
Foremen went to another private area and called his boss Leo Allatius in London.

Once again, Leo Allatius's phone rang and he picked it up, "Yes Eric, what is going on now?" Foreman said, "There's been another victim found and House has ordered the transfusions, but can only work on one person for the time being till more plasma can arrive for the other." Allatius said, "Well, the only best strategy is to provide your own blood for the other till the extra plasma arrives." Eric said, "That can be a stretch because if none of us donated in the last while, it has to be tested and that takes a bit and I believe none of these men have a bit before the complete transformation." Allatius said, "very well; do what you can and be prepared for the worse." Eric said, "I will; has the coffin containing Christof Romuald showed up yet?" Allatius said, "Yes it has and I am confident that he will make a great addition to our cause." Eric said, "I think he will too; he served with my colleagues 800 years ago in Prague and they nearly stopped the Tzimisce. What am I to do with them after Christof is revived?" Allatius said, "Once he is revived, those two will become a liability and can be extinguished." Eric said, "Consider it done." They hung up and one of Allatius's men came into his office. He asked the man, "What is wrong?" He said, "The vampire you had us recover from the Prague excavation just got out of his coffin and is wreaking havoc on the facility." Allatius said, "Perfect; we can see what our investment can do and how he can support our cause", "make sure you lead him to my office and I will deal with him personally." The man said, "Alright sir, will make sure that he arrives up here."
After Christof fought his way through several levels of the facility he was in, he was struck by the irony of what had happened and found all the new technologies such as computers, tazers, and firearms interesting. The men he was engaging called themselves, The Society of Leopold, and tried to kill him with wooden stakes, holy water, and firearms. Once Christof reached the office of Leo Allatius, he tried convince him to join the society and to let him have Christof's blood. However, Christof saw him as a ghoul and not worthy of such and they fought each other. After Christof defeated him, he found a journal that Allatius was keeping.
In his entries, he indicated that the Tzmisce had stolen back artifacts that he took from Vysehrad Castle and was going to use Christof to get them back and then he would be able to officially destroy them and all clans and have enough vampiric plasma to live forever. He also made note of a few possible leads in that the Tzimisce conceal their operations with a criminal of the vampire underworld named Giovanni and that the operation was taking place in New York. His final notes of the entry indicated that his loyal member Eric Foreman could work with Christof Romuald as he would make a wonderful asset to replace Gregor Houselman; or Gregory House as he calls himself now and James Wolfenouse or James Wilson, as he calls himself; after Eric Foreman disposed of the both of them at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital in New Jersey.
Christof was both filled with glee and fear after reading about the news he saw. He thought to himself, "I must go to this hospital in New Jersey and stop the fate of my friends death's at the hands of this Eric Foreman." He then thought to himself, "This Eric Foreman sounds to be an honourable man and is only following orders; he has no idea as to what is really going on, I better take these journal entries as proof of what Allatius's true intentions were." He quickly left the facility and upon stepping outside he realized that he needed a change of clothes. He found an abandoned duffle bag containing some new clothes and he thought to himself, "if such as individual wanted these items, he would not have hastily left them in the open for a person to find; he must not have wanted his clothes at all." He quickly changed and then had to figure a way to get to New Jersey.

The patients were both starting to get very low blood counts. House said, "Were going to have to get volunteers to give to both men immediately because were running out of time." Foreman jumped in and said, "Yes, we are running out of time and if these men don't get the necessary blood they need, they will die." Cameron said, "I believe that I can sustain my blood for one of the man not already getting a transfusion until the blood bank brings the extra plasma." House asked her, "When was the last time you donated?" Cameron said, "Last week, I donated right at the bank." House said, "Alright, have Chase hook you up immediately." They all left and Wilson entered the room. He told House, "Ecaterina said that if the men do not make it within the next few hours that they should be stopped immediately before the rest of the Tzmisce show up." House opened his desk drawer and showed Wilson his firearm and stake and said, "I'm ready."
Meanwhile, Foremen went to his hospital locker where he kept his firearm, several stakes, and several cases of holy water. He was getting ready for what he had to do as well to both his colleagues of the Brujah clan and the two patients if the full transformation occurred after the sun fully set in the next few hours.
