[QUOTE="talien, post: 4784725, member: 3285"] [b]Wild Hunt: Part 5 – Shadow of a Man[/b] Jim-Bean and Hammer entered the neurosurgical unit at New York General Hospital. “What have we got on our witness?” asked Hammer. “Quentin Collins’ back was broken when the attacker hurled him against a wall. He’s thirty, single, works at the symphony, and has a clean police record.” They entered the hospital room. Collins was in a full-body truss, his head and limbs surrounded by metal structures and most of his upper body in a cast. Only his right arm was free. A morphine drip provided a sinister rhythm in the background. “Mr. Collins,” said Hammer. “I know this is a difficult time, but we need to speak with you.” Collins’ eyes rolled open. “You’re…with the police?” “Federal agents, actually,” said Jim-Bean. “I’m Agent Grange, this is Agent Baxter.” “Good.” Collins licked his cracked lips and tried to speak; nothing but a croak came out. “Let me help you,” said Hammer. He went into the bathroom and came back with a cup of water. “Here.” He tilted it to Collins’ lips. Collins took several swallows until Hammer took the cup away. “Tell us everything you can remember,” said Jim-Bean. "We were walking to her place when a horrible decomposing rot—I think that is the best description—breezed over us. I held my dinner down, but poor Wilma doubled over and vomited. I was suddenly shoved from behind by a powerful blow, and was hurled into the side of a building. I twisted up in pain, and I saw…him.” Hammer leaned forward. “Go on.” ”He was dressed in a black trench coat and wide-brimmed hat. His features were hidden by the hat and upturned collar. He had lifted up Wilma with one hand. He then walked into the alley with her, but as he walked it was if his shape rippled—dark ripples swimming over him. He was moving as if twisting, or swirling…bending. I—well, this sounds fantastic—but I glimpsed his face.” “Yes?” asked Jim-Bean, rapt. “I don’t know if you can even call it a face.

I was in the hospital, getting this cast. The doctors say I only have a slim chance of walking again.” Hammer nodded. “Thank you Mr. Collins, that’s very helpful.” They turned to go when Collins’ arm shot out and gripped Hammer’s sleeve tightly. “You get this bastard—you get him good.” “We will,” said Hammer, gently releasing Collins’ grip. “We will.” [/QUOTE]
