Coreen got the call that Vicki was hanging on by a thread and headed to a hospital. Henry had nearly killed Esther before Kate and Mike could pull him off and Brother Isaac arrived home to the chaos.

"What's going on here?" he asked in shock,"And why is that here?" he asked as he pointed to Henry.

"We have some questions for you too," Mike told Brother Isaac.

"Momma? Momma?" Brother Isaac stared at his mother lying on the gurney. She was pale and staring, her neck bandaged and her mouth moving without forming words. Her mouth moving was the only signal at first that she was still alive and her bandaged neck indicated he suspected Henry had attacked her.

"Did you do this you..you..demon!?" Isaac screamed at Henry. Henry, calm and collected, answered honestly.

"Yes, I did. She shot my partner, she was trying to kill us," Brother Isaac put his head in his hands and wept.

"This is my fault, she wanted to help me, it's all my fault," he sobbed. Henry was tempted to persuade him to tell all that he knew but he had to see about Vicki. Her life had been fading when they put her in the ambulance.

"Mike, I've got to go," Henry told Mike. Shockingly and for once, Mike didn't argue. He only nodded and felt it best Henry was gone before more hell broke loose. Mike decided he would try and convince Vicki that having Henry around wasn't always the best idea. Henry's beastly nature had nearly killed a woman unnecessarily. Mike and Kate both could have shot her just as easily but Henry's true nature took over. Mike felt Vicki needed to be aware that Henry couldn't be trusted. At this point in time, there was nothing Mike could do about Henry. He truly had attacked Esther in self-defense and any defense attorney would have no difficulty proving that. A glint of something caught Mike's eye and bending, he saw it was the Illuminacion De Sol with the key still embedded in it. Picking it up, he cringed as he wiped Henry's blood from the points. Mike discreetly slipped it in his pocket when no one was looking, he felt he might need it at a later date.

Henry drove Kate's car to the hospital at her insistance. A flurry of activity prevented him from seeing exactly what was going on. Vicki was unconscious, her heartbeat was fading and she was in danger of dying at any moment. Henry thought instantaneously of turning her, being selfish for a year just to have more time with her but he knew that was wrong. He did the only thing he knew to do, pray. His eyes misted with tears of worry and love as he heard the emergency personnel bark orders to try and save Vicki's life.

"...more units of O neg, book an or, she's bleeding out people, let's go," the person in charge shouted. Henry could hear them but wasn't listening. His mind was reeling as he thought of the horrendous violence that might claim Vicki's life.

"Maybe I am too dangerous for you Vicki," Henry said out loud. He waited in the waiting room for hours it seemed but dawn was fast approaching. Mike arrived with Kate and Coreen in tow. They all sat quietly waiting to hear anything at all. Just before dawn, Henry stood up and announced he had to go home before it was too late.

"We'll let you know something, I'll call your machine," Mike said curtly.

"I know you blame me for what has happened, Detective," Henry offered.

"Yeah, I kinda do, Fitzroy," Mike said.

"Then you'll be pleased to know that I'm leaving, I feel I need to keep her safe and leaving is the only answer at this point," Henry told him.

"What? You can't leave!" Coreen shouted. She stood up then sat down quickly, she was faint and pale.

"Coreen, you need to see a doctor, in case Vicki.." Henry choked back the words "doesn't make it", he couldn't bring himself to say them, "in case she doesn't get to tell you, you're pregnant." Coreen's mouth fell open and Henry thought she was truly going to faint.

"I'm..what? But..." Coreen was stunned as were Mike and Kate.

"I'll check on her tonight when I awaken, then I will make plans to go. Although before I leave, detective, I'd like to know who was up to what, not only to protect myself but Vicki as well. I don't want any retaliation against her."

Mike nodded, "No problem, I'll fill you in tonight. Goodbye Henry." Mike was relieved or so he thought. Vicki would not be happy when she awoke to her vampire partner giving her the news he was leaving.

Henry nodded, Coreen sat staring blankly with her hand on her stomach in awe and if looks could kill, the one Kate gave Mike would have dropped him dead to the floor.

"What?" Mike said.

"You're an ass Michael Celluci," Kate spat out. She moved to Coreen to try and comfort the poor girl who was obviously in shock.

Coreen whispered out loud to try and make sense of what she'd heard from Henry, as if saying it out loud would make it seem real.."I'm pregnant," she said softly.

Coreen was pregnant, Vicki might be dying and Henry was leaving.

Things could not be any worse, could they?
