Following the nurse, Lapis half listened as she was told that there was something abnormal in his blood. She decided not to say anything as she didn't want to argue at that particular moment. When she heard Micha ask her to go get some food, she turned to him and nodded. "Give me a minute," she told the nurse, closing the door and going to Micha's side. "Don't worry. If anything goes wrong, I'll be able to locate you. I promise." Kissing his forehead, she tucked him in. "I'll be back with something."
Letting the nurse be, she went down to the food court and found something to Micha to eat. She could still sense that he was in the hospital bed and hadn't moved so she went to a clothing store just down the road and found a shirt and jeans for him. She had a hard time finding something for herself as she didn't want to wear the same dress all the time. And she wanted to pick a color other than black. About twenty minutes later, she found a blue top and black dress pants for herself and made her way to the nearest cash register. Once the outfits were paid for, she made her way back to the hospital, seeing a black SUV begin to pull around.

"I hope she's not going to be much trouble," the man said, looking out the window at Lapis and adjusting his blonde hair.
"Don't worry, Mr. Farley," the woman replied. "The plan is foolproof unless she already gave him a track marker."
"Well, yes. That would be a problem... Poor Valencia wants a mortal for a birthday present. And seeing how I won't be interested in him aside from feeding on him, he would be hers to do what she wants."
"What about the wolf?"
"Oh, she'll have a piece of him, I'm sure. It's not like she wants him anyway. Said he's too small for her taste... Whatever that means."
