Hollow shuddered at the thought of some parasite being inside him and growing large enough to eat its way out. It made him feel sick to his stomach. He trusted Jake with his life, but he wasn't about to stop Alexei from questioning him. As far as they all knew that might not even be Jake, he might be one of those shape shifting parasites that killed the real Jake and took his place at the bar. Hollow didn't like having to watch Jake being coerced and terrified but they needed to know that he was really Jake and not one of those disgusting [i]things[/i].
