He drew his first needle, but a thunderous shout cracked across the hall.

"Stop!"

"Hands off that girl!" the voice boomed.

"Dr. Joane?" someone gasped, and the room exploded with chatter.

The assembled physicians practically melted into gushing fanboys, their excitement punching through the mansion roof.
