Sam looked at her frantically as she leaned to the side, looking pale. He rushed over and caught her before she could fall. Emma jumped down and looked up at Sam as he picked her up and cradled her in his arms. -Come on Emma, stay close.- He exited the room they were in, he was still covered in Rosalyn's blood as he crept through the hall. They were in a radio/news station. He found a door that read 'dressing room' and went inside. He saw a rack of dresses and looked at Luna. He gently sat her down as he grabbed a piece of cloth and began to wipe as much blood from his body as he could. He put on the suit and then placed Luna in the dress. Picked her up and called Emma to follow closely.
After exiting the building, he saw a valet across the street. He sat Luna against the brick wall in the alley next to the building and began to take his clothes off to shift. After shifting into a collie he padded across the street and saw the distracted valet workers. He grabbed a set of keys into his mouth and ran to the parking area. He set the keys down and read the ticket number, grabbed them back up and ran to A45. He found the car and shifted back to human form. He quietly unlocked the door and slid into the driver side. The Lincoln Continental roared to life as he headed to the alley to retrieve Luna and Emma. He put the car in park and rushed back to Luna, quickly putting the suit back on. He felt the breast pocket and retrieved Steve's billfold. Sam opened it up to find cash and credit cards. He took what he needed and tossed the wallet. He gently picked Luna up and placed her in the backseat, as Emma hopped into the car. -Stay a wolf for now okay.-
Sam opened the driver door and slid in, driving off into the night. He had to get them out of New Orleans. He hit the interstate and drove North. After almost two hours of driving he decided to take Baton Rouge exit. He pulled into the first hotel he spotted and hurried inside to get a room. -Will that be all Mr. Newlin?- He just nodded and grabbed the key from the clerk. Sam opened the door to the room and went back to the car to get Luna and Emma. He laid her on the bed and ran a cold rag on her face. She was still breathing but out of it. He looked to Emma. -You stay here with your mom and I'm gonna go shower.-
He emerged with a towel around his waist feeling better since he was free of blood. Luna was beginning to come to and he grabbed the ice bucket. Sam could hear her groaning and knew she'd be sick. He sat next to her on the bed as Emma looked at her mom and whinned. -She'll be okay, I promise.-
