.He raced toward his fallen friend.When their eyes met, Nathan seemed to understand his concern. It s not in the heart.It snot in the heart. Then he closed his eyes.Max collapsed on the grass beside him, but was back on his feet a second later.Bella.She lay sprawled on the ground, taking fast and shallow breaths.When she turned herhead and caught sight of him, she smiled weakly. I am sorry, I thought I had him. Are you okay? Did he hurt you? Max dropped to his knees beside her. You shouldn tmove, you know, in case anything is broken. I should stay here until the owners of that palace call the authorities and have me hauledaway for trespassing? She stood slowly, brushing off her clothing and shooing away hishands. I will be all right.Besides, we have to get him back to his apartment before thedrugs wear off. How long do we have? Max looked reluctantly away from her, to where Nathan lay inthe grass, his chest barely moving. Ninety minutes at the most.Only enough so I can make a clean getaway. She shruggedone shoulder as if trying to work it back into the socket. I have never had to transportanyone before. Max eyed his friend s body, then the woman at his side. I think he ll be too heavy on myown, but I don t want you to help me if you re not up to it. I am fine.Treating me like porcelain is not going to change anything, she said firmly.He didn t argue.There was no point, as long as she believed he was completely infatuatedwith her.That s the problem, he decided.Her wishful thinking.Knowing that made it much easier for him to endure the ride back to the apartment.By the time they got Nathan up the stairs, the tranquilizer had nearly worn off.He dangledbetween them Bella at his feet, Max lifting his shoulders like a very drunk, very heavypiece of supertenderized meat. Take him to the bedroom, Max ordered, nodding in the direction of Nathan s room. He s got a brass headboard.We ll be able to cuff him to that. You came up with that pretty easy, Nathan mumbled with a tired-sounding laugh. Beenfantasizing about me? If he is lucid, perhaps it is unnecessary to restrain him, Bella suggested, her gold eyeslocking with Max s for an uncomfortable moment.He looked away.He didn t want to be accused of staring googley-eyed at her or anything. No! Nathan stiffened, and Max struggled to keep hold of him.Grunting with the strain of supporting his friend s body, Max motioned toward thebedroom with another quick jerk of his head. I saw what he was going to do to you.Nooffense to either of you, but until we get this mess sorted out, we re keeping him lockedup.

It is a goodsign he is talking, she said, clearly trying to sound cheerful for Max s benefit. Is it? he asked through clenched teeth.He didn t need her pity optimism.She dropped the act at once. I do not know.Maybe? It means he s not possessed.At least, not by a demon. If he were, he d be completelyout to lunch, with no occasional popping into the office as he d been doing.Max wasn tan exorcist or anything, but he d seen a few cases of demonic possession in his time.Whatever had hold of Nathan wasn t controlling him full-time.They shuffled down the hall to the bedroom.Max considered making a snide commentabout this being the place where they d first met, but he didn t want to chance giving Belleeven more of a wrong impression. Get him up here. Nathan groaned as they lifted him onto the bed.For the first time, Max noted the darkbruises marring nearly every inch of his body.Before, when they d first captured him, ithad been dark, and they d been more concerned with the weird symbols carved into hisskin to notice the state of the rest of him. Jesus Christ, Max exclaimed on an exhale.It was all he could think of to say.Bella covered her mouth, her gold eyes wide in shock. What happened to him? I have no idea.I d put money down that the Soul Eater has something to do with it. Hisanger was so thick it could have choked him.He turned helplessly, his hands clutched infists.He would have slapped the lamp from the bedside table to release some of his ragethrough destruction.But it wasn t his lamp to break, it wasn t his body that was ruinedand it wasn t his sire to be pissed at.With a deep breath he released with a curse, heturned back to the bed. Where s Carrie? Nathan s eyes, cloudy from the drugs, searched Max s face with anintensity that made his skin crawl.How much did Nathan know? And how much should Max tell him?Thankfully, Bella took care of it for him. She will be here soon.Lie down.I will getsomething for your bruises. There s witch hazel.In the shop, Nathan panted. The drugs are wearing off.Dosomething! Give me the handcuffs. For being afraid of him before, she was awfully take-chargenow.Max went to the dresser to retrieve the cuffs.She held her hands out as if to catchthem.Max shouldered past her. Sorry, buddy, he said under his breath as he stretched Nathan s arms above his head. Don t let it happen again.Don t let me go back there. Nathan s fingers wrapped aroundMax s arm with terrifying strength.Now I know how a life preserver feels, Max thought, carefully withdrawing from hisfriend s grasp. We re going to try and help you. For a heart-stopping moment, Nathan s face contorted into his vampire form, and hegrowled.Then his features returned to normal, as if they were wax melting, and he closedhis eyes. He is unconscious again, Bella noted.Max wanted to snap at her, to tell her he knew Nathan was unconscious, but it wouldhave been pointless
