"You were shot!" Al said.  "'Winged' is still...."  She shoved at his jacket, not caring if he protested or not, trying to slide it off his shoulder to have a look at the winged area.  "And, anyone gets on the back of a motorcycle after this night is just asking for trouble.  This town is lousy with monsters and..." she shivered..."bugs," she ended, such horror in her voice you'd have thought they were rabid vampire cockroaches. (no offense, Sam)<br/><br/>She heard the door banging open as others exited and saw the man who'd shot the vampire exit.  She frowned, trying to get Leof to stand still while she assured herself that he wasn't going to bleed to death in front of her.  "What happened to the vampire?" she hissed, clutching the front of his shirt.  "That guy grabbed her...do you suppose he was going to hurt her?  And, did you see the kid...the one who came through the door with...his arm on fire?"  She couldn't bring herself to say "sword of fire."<br/><br/>
