Serena sat down on the couch, her cheeks flushed. John sat down by her and said "You sure? Chas can help. She might talk if I'm not here..." He got up and said "Chas, why don't you help and I'll do some research on our demon friend..." He got up and headed towards his office area and climbed the stairs to find his desk. 

Serena was breathing hard and opened her eyes slightly. "I haven't been feeling well for a few days now...I think getting slammed against a wall...made it worse..." She leaned forward a little, showing the back of her neck. There was a nasty bite mark on her neck and she flinched when she reached to touch it. She muttered weakly again "I can't...let him find out...I can't..." She looked feverish now, her eyes dull. 

John sat at his desk, moving books over to him and started to search on the bird of flame myths. Any he could find.
