Neither of the women went to jail. Aunt Bertie and Uncle Jamie had been escorted out of the hospital. Aunt Jody and Aunt Bobbie were staying at the hospital with the bevy of policemen who would haunt the place until Rush Callahan either got to go home or didn’t. The doctors were starting to wean Rush from the drugs that were keeping him unconscious, but as Dr Rogers had said, they were going to do it slowly because of the other patient going into shock and dying from too rapid a wake-up. We had about two hours, maybe more, so … We were invited to go to Micah’s mom and stepfather’s house. It was close to the hospital and to the university where they both worked. Micah started to protest, saying, ‘I’m not going to leave.’ Nathaniel had moved close to him and spoke low. ‘We all need food.’ ‘I’m not hungry,’ Micah said. ‘Your beast is, because mine is, and Anita carries more than one hunger inside her.’ We both looked at our third. I don’t know about Micah, but I felt stupid for not remembering that we weren’t just human.
