Blade and Zadie stand on opposite sides of the room as officers record their statements about what happened to them and how things ended up the way they did. Zadie watches as two vampire police pick up Hector's body placing it in a black body bag. They roll it out of the room on a gurney. “Is he dead?” Zadie questions watching as they move the gurney to the elevator.

The office follows her gaze, “No, just asleep if it had been a real stake, he would be dead.” Zadie and the office meet eyes. He smiles gently,

“Thank you, that’s all for now, just sit tight, and you'll be headed back to Fantasia city soon.” She nods, looking over at Blade as he continues talking with the officer. Zadie leaves the room getting on the elevator.

Zadie searches the bottom floors, finding Dan lying in a bed in a small room on the second floor. “How are you feeling?” Zadie asks, sitting in a chair that’s been placed next to the bed.
