They exchanged wary glances, each person unsure how to react.

Minutes before Alex arrived, Jack had yelled loudly enough for half the hospital to hear him:

"I don't care if it was demons or damn gods who hurt Sophia-I'll kill them all. I'll burn the whole world down if I have to!"

The others chimed in, bravado swelling like a rising tide. "Damn straight! I'll give up my life if that's what it takes."

The mocking stung the air. In their minds, Alex was nothing but a fool with a death wish.

Suddenly, Clara burst into the ward, breathless. "Sister Florence I've got huge news. Alex-he... he attacked Bella Kane-"
