Summary: While waiting for Frankie to wake up because she's a dumb-dumb who got a boo-boo, Brandon's brooding session is interrupted; little does anyone realize, he is harboring a secret.
People milled by. Not many he cared to recognize.
Hearts beat. Some stopped. The stench of death was strong.
Sometimes it bit shit-covered monkey ass to be a freak of mythos. Legend? Nightmare? Whatever. He was too tired and busy for that damn battle of--
