Hopefully the chapters will get longer as I go...
After confirming there was more than just a hand, the two Hellsing operatives began moving bricks carefully aside in case the person was still alive, slowly revealing more and more of a pale body, which was indefinitely male as Intergra found out, having accidentally brushed the man's more private areas.
It was only when the man's head was revealed that the two stopped, their eyes staring at the man's red iris as it gazed half-lidded and unseeingly upward from under the man's messy stark white hair.
"A Nosferatu?" Walter breathed.
"Perhaps not. Can you hear me?" Integra asked the male, highly unsure if she wanted an answer.
Slowly, the eye blinked, moving slower still to look at Integra before giving the barest of nods.
"I couldn't find anyon- heh, well now, what have master and Walter found?" Alucard asked walking over to the three grinning, "A broken up human with funny eyes."
"Human? Are you sure?" Walter asked, the unnatural eye colour having completely thrown him.
"Oh yes, he's most definitely a human, though a peculiar one." The No Life King answered, crouching beside the man and placing a gloved hand on the man's neck, feeling the warm blood in his veins as it was pumped slowly around the man's body by a weak heart, "His pulse is weak, perhaps now would be the time to call for a medical human, master?"
"Yes. Of course." Integra said, indicating for Walter to go fetch someone. After her butler was out of earshot, she turned to Alucard, "What did you mean, 'peculiar'?"
Alucard gestured to the rubble around the man before pointing out two obscurities; the ugly blue skinned doll in the man's bloody hand, the once Integra hadn't stepped on, and the odd-shaped purple cane underneath the man, in a way that couldn't possibly be comfortable, which had part of a blade showing from between the hand-grip and the staff's extension.
"How many old men do you know that carry dolls and conceal weapons in their walking sticks?" Well, she couldn't fault him there, not even the other Round-Table knights did that, though most did carry a gun or two, especially at the meetings held in Hellsing's headquarters.
Taking the chance, considering the man still appeared conscious if the stupid grin that now occupied his face was any clue, Integra gave her order, "Have him taken with us, I want him stabilised and back at Headquarters without being seen, is that understood Colonel?" Integra asked the head of the Wild Geese's medical squad.
"Alucard, go get Seras, we're leaving." Integra commanded beckoning Walter to follow as she headed back to her car. The drive was long yes, but it gave Integra time to think. Think on how Harewood House had collapsed from the ground floor upward, where the man had come from and who he was, as well as how she was going to keep her vampires from scaring the remainder of the man's life away.
Sure enough that it was going to be one of those nights – one where she is forced to give overly restraining orders that give Alucard no loop-hole and the possibility of having to yell at both her vampires to get the point across, Integra sighed taking off her glasses and lay her head against the glass window, thankful she'd long since banned Alucard from accompanying her in the car.
