There was blood nearby when she woke. Isabel could smell it, and not just the dried vitae on her hands from her earlier feeding, although it was too dark in her tomb to see it.

Part I

"It turns out he wasn't poisoned after all." The stout form of the team's elected spokesman presented the fact calmly to the camp manager. "Seems Jenks come down with it, too. We figured he wouldn't drink what he gave to Rollo."

Acceptable losses.

There's a hard one. Sometimes it's not casualties, like in wars, but other things. I've seen it with Jack and I've started to see it with me. It starts out as wanting to do your job well, protect the public and that. Then it just starts taking over. What did Jack once say?... "You'd think Jack Regan was the only copper in London!" That after the umteenth interrupted dinner, the umteenth call in at 2am, the umteeth broken date. It's really us, the coppers who are the casualties. Our lives.

The job eats us up. We start out like everyone else, family, hobbies, aspirations, then the lure of being needed, making a difference, protecting people, eats us up. Who needs us more, out family or the greater public? The good of the many and that. We don't even question it until there's nothing left of us but the job. It cuts away everything that doesn't further its goals until something happens and you realise you're alone, with nothing but the job. No life outside catching the blaggers. No time for anything but the barest sleep. Even food is a luxury most days. The job consumes you in the furtherance of the common good.

Is that acceptable? To lose everything for the safety of the public?
I reckon so or I wouldn't be in this job.
