Marisol came up pretty quickly. Ricky raised his hand asking Doc for a minute. He would answer Doc's question soon. "I need to head out, got my own responsibilities you know," she said. "You good?"
Ricky nodded and gave her a smile. "Yeah, I'm good. Thanks for helping - I appreciate it a lot," he said.
"So this magic stuff is real then?" She asked.
He smiled. "Very much so. You gonna be okay?"
"Yeah - just a lot to take in."
They parted and Marisol left she likely had her own shift and had also decided that the less she knew the better. Probably a good idea. Ricky hadn't thought of her being a cop when he had called her, she had just been the first one to come to mind. Ricky saw Marta and she looked different. She was smiling at the baby in her arms, which in itself wasn't weird, but her posture, usually tense like a serpent ready to strike, was now relaxed. She looked up, and Ricky gave her a thumbs up, asking if she was okay. She beamed at him. She was fine.
Ricky caught up with Doc and Liv. "Enrique, Marta's guardian," he said, finally introducing himself to the pair. He spoke directly to the Doc. "What you saw is called a dreykan. They feed on blood. As for why he didn't use magic, I have no idea, but it's my guess that for some reason he couldn't." it was too big of an advantage to not use. Nox wasn't a stupid man. "I could probably tell you more, but," he turned to Liv. "I just sprinted a couple of miles carrying Nox on my back. Don't get me wrong, I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but a shower would be much appreciated. Would that be okay?" She had cleaned his shirt, but the thought of someone else's blood on him was something he didn't relish.
