"Elihu," the new doctor of Collinsport, has a pretty uneventful morning... until, a little before lunchtime, someone brings in a very, very wounded man...

---

(1. I'm just guessing at the time of day. Forgive/correct if it's wrong.

2. Be sure to make it clear if Adam is present or if he's helped get the prisoner to the doctor's office and then fled the area.

3. Be sure to make it clear if the man is still tied up and gagged or not (and let me know for how long he was ungagged, if so).)

Adam, carried both men, bound and gagged, over his shoulders. He kept his head covered by the hood and hoped it would mean that people would just think he was a very large man. He followed behind Harry and once in the doctor's office he dumped the two men on the floor unceremoniously. He then stepped backwards into a shadow to hide his visage.

Elihu is taken aback by the situation.  After all, he's never had patients present while bound and gagged.  Considering they were bought to a doctor in broad daylight, their restraints must be there for a good purpose, though possibly not entirely legal.  But no matter the legality, the two were wounded and therefore he was obligated to repair their wounds.

He grabbed a scalpel (more a knife, really) and cut away the clothes covering the worst of the wounds.  He looks to the two that brought them in; a tall blonde woman and an even taller man who looked like he's gotten into more than a few scrapes of his own.  "What happened to these two?  Why are they tied up?"

Adam said a single word, letting his voice like stones being rubbed together carry throughout the room but no further, "Vampire."

Crouched down examining his patients, the tall man's answer takes him by surpsrie.  He falls back and scuttles away from the bound two on hands and feet.

"They're vampires?  Why did you bring them here?  Shouldn't you have staked them or something?!"

Harry indicates the gent who fell through the floor with a jut of her chin. "Don't reckon he's as much a danger, not near as close t' bein' turned." She points to the second man. "Him, he could turn at any time. Might be able t' stop it, but ain't much of his mind left." She spat to one side. "Regardless, didn't wanna stake 'em if there's a snowball's chance they can be saved... or laid t' rest proper."

Vampires about to turn.  The opportunity of a lifetime and instead of his state of the art lab, he's in the medical stone age.

Elihu inches closer to his two patients.  "I don't know if there's anything I can do.  Vampirism is a bloodborne disease, or at least it seems so in the literature.  I don't have so much ad penicillin, let alone antivirals or antiparasitics."

 " Wait!  Vampires have a weakness to sunlight.  Lets take them to my backyard.  Maybe the ultraviolet light will burn it out ofvthem before they turn. "

Adam spoke flatly, "Who is Penny Sillan? What are anti-virials or anti-para-sytics?"

Harry moves forward to assist with one of two men. "Ain't from around here originally, are ye, Doc? Welcome t' th' late Eighteenth Century." She quips over her shoulder to Adam. "Thems th' good doctor's mother's sisters, clearly... Auntie Vera and Auntie Paris." She smirks at the doctor. "Nurses both, aye? Taught ye everythin' ye know."

Adam nodded and said, "Ah yes, that makes sense. Three nurses would be of great help."

"Umm, yes.  Nurses.  Aunts.  Just medical talk.  Latest advancements and whatnot."

The doctor rubs his temples as he mutters under his breath,  "Remember the year, idiot."

Elihu gets to his feet and looks at the two who brought him the two patients.  "Allright, let's get these two into the backyard.  Either the sunlight will kill them or cure them...I hope."
