<span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="font-size: 12px">As Dex sat in the ICU where the five victims were, unfiltered glee washed over him.  It brought a quick smile to his face before he realized the source was Lucas and they had probably found the Shtriga.  Still, Lucas only felt happy when someone was getting hurt and he hoped it was the shtriga and not his demon.  It was hard to tell and he stomped down on the glee because that meant Lucas was having fun while Dex was stuck in the hospital.  <i>Babysitting.  </i>Not only the wounded angel, but the five additions to the ICU.  <br/>

He huffs in annoyance before going back to his laptop.  It's not like he's actually looking for another case.  He's honestly given up on this group.  It was a good idea and while the blond can find the merits in going against some of these creatures with just more than a hyperactive demon who was hellbent on putting him in a bubble, <i>this</i> group in particular just wouldn't work.  He hated the fact that he wasn't giving this a chance, but they couldn't work together.  Rose went off on her own, Eva could barely defend herself and seemed more human than him at this point, and Lucas was just going to continuously sideline him every time there was danger.  He wasn't some kid or woman to be left at home while the men went to work.  Damn it, he could contribute.<br/>
<br/>
The chair his feet were propped in went skidding across the floor.  Sitting here and waiting wasn't helping matters, it was only making him angrier.  Just as he was standing, a groan from one of the other occupants in the room echoed in the silence after the chair scraped.  His head swiveled around and the woman closest to him was fidgeting in her sleep.  Already she looked healthier.  Her skin was less gray, less wrinkled.  The others in the room were looking better too and the fear that he had felt emanating softly from them came back strong before settling into peace.  It overwhelmed him for a moment, blinding him to the fact that there were three more in the room for a moment.<br/>
<br/>
It took him another moment of composure before he spun on his heel and faced the three of them.  Lucas and Rose were in front with Eva sneaking up behind.  The fallen angel already looked better as well.  The vampire and demon seemed no worse for wear either and he crossed his arms looking at him.  He could sense the two had bonded a bit during the fight as they were more relaxed than they had been before.  He frowned.<br/>
<br/>
"Well then, that's the job then, I suppose," he told the group, grabbing his bag off of the floor and sliding his laptop inside.  They were done.  That meant, they no longer needed to be here.  Pulling his keys out of his pocket, he slid passed the three of them and into the hallway.  "We should get some rest, you guys probably need it."  After all, they had done all of the work and it wasn't like he needed it.  With that said, he headed towards his car.</span></span>
