"I hate to do this, but it's time to get up Josh," Blade's voice drifts softly to Scud.

"Five more minutes," Scud mumbles, yawning.

"I wish I could let you, but the bloodpack will be here in about an hour, and you have to be awake and down stairs when they get here," Blade says as Scud slowly opens his eyes. "I got your pain pills if you need some."

Scud slowly stretches his arms and legs, wincing when the stitches stretched. Blade grabs the pills off of the end table and hands two to Scud along with a bottle of water. "Thanks," Scud says, sitting up and taking the pills. "Can I have a little privacy?"

"Of course. I'll be right outside the door," Blade says, walking slowly out the door and shutting it quietly. Scud slowly got up and limped to the dresser. Once Scud got clothes to change into, he quickly limps back to the bed. He is thankful that his pants are baggy because he doesn't have to worry about them hitting his injury.

"I'm done," Scud says, limping to the boxes Blade left in the room and puts his ruined pants in them. "Where is my shoes?"

"There at the end of the bed," Blade says, walking in. "Sit down. I'll get them for you," Blade says when Scud goes to move to move to get his shoes.

"I can do it," Scud says, limping towards the bed, but Scud doesn't make it before his left leg gives out. "Shit," Scud says as Blade catchs him.

"Your leg is going to be weak. Did any of your stictches brake?" Blade asks, picking Scud up and setting him down onto the bed.

"I don't think so, but you might want to check," Scud says, wincing as he pulls up his pants leg for Blade to check.

"You're good," Blade says, helping ease Scud's pants leg back down. Blade then grabbed Scud's old worn down boots, and he helped Scud put them on.

"Nyssa, Chupa, and Reinhardt are here," Whistler says though the door."

"There not suppose to be here for another fourty-five minutes. Why only those three?" Blade asks, helping Scud stand.

"Damaskinos made them come early, and I don't know why only those three," Whistler says as Blade opens the door while supporting most of Scud's weight.

"Why would...," Blade starts when Chupa and Reinhardt suddenly appear behind Whistler. Chupa hits Whistler in the head, knocking him out cold.

Scud is suddenly shoved back by Blade as Reinhardt reaches out and hits Blade with some stun gun. Blade's whole body gets surronded in blue electricity, and Scud is stuck sitting on the ground watching. "Blade," Scud yells when Blade hits the ground out cold.

Scud tried to crawl away, but Chupa had hold of Scud's shirt, lifting him off the ground, in an instant. "I may not be able to do anything yet, but I will here soon," Chupa says, chuckling.

"Blade will kill you before you lay a hand on me," Scud snaps.

"Will he now?" Chupa says, grabbing Scud's broken arm and snapping the cast. Scud wants to cry out, but he knows that's what Chupa wants, so he doesn't cry out. "Where's your lover now?"

"You'll pay for that," Scud gasps out.

"Just knock him out and grab the daywalker. We don't have time. We have to get back before the daywalker wakes," Reinhardt says, picking up Whistler.

"Don't touch him," Scud yells, but then he must have been knocked out because the world went dark and quiet around him.
