7: Day 10

You seem better this morning, Sir Hellsing.

Yes, for once I wasn't vomiting all night.

I'm glad to hear that. If you wouldn't mind, Sir, I'd like to take your blood again. You've been doing remarkably well, and I'd like to see that you're fighting off this disease.

As would I, Doctor. Has there been any word from my brother?

No, nothing yet. As far as I know, he's still at home. I did call him when I arrived, though, and told him he could come see you later today. It's been three days, and you're doing well. I figured it might be good for both of you.

I'm sure he'll be glad to come back. Oh! Please be careful. I'd like to keep what blood I still have inside my body.

My apologies, sir. There we go. I'll have this sent to the lab right away. You should get the results by tomorrow after noon, if not sooner.

The sooner the better, Doctor.

~O~

Are you getting any better, Integra?

I should hope so. They're still giving me clotting factors, and I'm still drinking this rubbish.

That rubbish is what's keeping you alive, sis.

I know, Landon, but I'm tiring of it. (Sigh) Did Doctor Creed tell you he's sent another test to the lab?

Yeah, he did tell me that. You'll find out some time tomorrow if you're fighting it off.

(Silence)

I hope you're getting better.

So do I.
