“A rabid vampire,” Jean said with a sigh, “or the equivalent thereof, since vampires don’t get rabies. From what Adèle told us about the man, I’m sure the same vampire who turned Pascale also turned Pierre, the one who attacked Adèle, because any responsible vampire wouldn’t have offered the choice to be turned to someone as delusional as Pierre appears to be, and yet Pierre was turned. My guess would be the extorris gave Pierre no more choice than he gave Pascale.” “Delusional?” “He’s a vagrant on pretty serious anti-psychotic drugs,” Raymond explained. “Without those, he’s completely out of his mind.” “And the drugs won’t work on a vampire,” Martin postulated. “Not directly,” Raymond agreed. “We’re working on getting some donor blood and some of the drugs so we can try mixing the drugs in the blood to see if that works.” “Has anyone contacted Denis Langlois?” Martin asked, his pulse picking up at the thought of his potential partner.
