Following the sent trail left by Jack, his buddy, and the nurse wasn't too hard. There was a good amount of blood to follow. Now that I'm more alert and on the trail I can tell that she does not smell like other humans, and yet, not quite the same as a werewolf either. It's more like before a born werewolf changes for the first time, when they just have an underlying sent that marks them as werewolf. But she's not one of us it is a vaguely feral sent not a specifically wolf sent but animalistic and…sweeter? I don't know. The trail is more important the mystery of her sent so I focus on that.
I gave myself enough time to put on the cloths I needed jeans undershirt and shoes and grabbed my wallet with ID and car keys, and left the rest before I followed my prey out of the hospital. Had it not been for the blood I would have lost the trail in the myriad of smells there.
I hadn't been following the trail long, but was a long time for a situation like this. Humans break easy, especially when in the hands of animal like Jack McMillan.
Apparently you cant keep a determined RN subdued for long either because I heard a voice from a nearby alley.
"That's it man, you have to stop! She isn't fighting anymore. You did it. Now we need to get her to Arnold. If you keep going she'll be dead and we'll have no prize to give him." SHIT! It was the buddy. That meant the growl from the alley was Jack, and I was too late.
As I look into the alley I see the counterpart off to one side, across from him is Jack in wolf form standing over the body the nurse who wasn't moving.
I was down wind and they were to engrossed to notice me. At least that was working for my.
I rushed into the alley. Normally the one in wolf form would be my priority. But it looked like he was unsteady from whatever had been in the syringe. So I struck the counter part. I hit him like he hit me with the truck. After the night I've had it felt good.
There was a loud popping sound as his head hit the ground and he was out of the fight for good. Jack turned to me becoming as unsteady as I had been earlier and chose to run rather then fight.
If I stopped and checked on the nurse he would be gone. If I pursued and she was alive she wouldn't stay that way for long.
I chose the check on the woman. Elena always gave me shit about not giving a damn about humans. She wanted me to be a better person, one like her who cares about people. It's not like I don't care about people, they just have to be people I know, which meant pack. But this woman had tried to save me, may have even healed me. I couldn't let her die alone in some dirty alley. It could be that Elena was starting to get through to me.
