Confusion all round

Aliceabella frowned. "Test of what?"

"I don't know," Brad shrugged. "That Blackinton guy seems to like testing people from what I've seen."

Aliceabella frowned and began trying to tug some material off her dress. "If I wrap some material around your eyes like a blindfold do you think you'll be able to stand the light?"

"We could try it," Brad looked around, figuring out how they would both escape.

Aliceabella frowned. "How many vampires will come when 500 drips is over?"

"Only one still comes now," Brad kept his eyes trained on the puddle of dark liquid.

Aliceabella nodded slowly. "Trying to stop them would just make more problems, more might come..." She trailed off, brow furrowed in thought.

"The injection," Brad said slowly.

Aliceabella frowned. "What about it?"

"Wait a second," Brad looked down at his lap as he concentrated on thinking clearly, it was still a little hard for him.

Aliceabella continued trying to tug some material off her dress, managing to tear off a large strip after a few moments of tugging.

"Could we use it on the doctor?" Brad shrugged. "It would buy some time."

Aliceabella bit her lip and nodded slowly. "Could we overpower them or something then give them it...or something."

Brad nodded, eyes trained on the falling drips.

Aliceabella frowned again. "I think I've got some thick sunglasses in my bag, if I give you those do you think you'll be able to see?"

"Maybe in normal light. I don't know if it will work if it's really bright outside." Brad tensed as the drips told him the time was getting close.

Aliceabella nodded softly, still trying to think of a plan. "Where could you go if I help you get out?"

"I'd try to make it back home. I have a family in California," He sighed.

Aliceabella nodded again. "I could give you some money if you want." She tried to remember how much money she had left- a couple of hundred or thereabouts.

"I had a hotel room rented out. I think my stuff will still be there. I planned for a long stay. I need a calendar," Brad watched the door. "Soon."

Aliceabella glanced at the door. "Do you remember which room you were staying in?"

Brad nodded. "Still have the key." He tensed in anticipation.

Aliceabella continued to stare at the door. "How are we going to overpower the vampire?"

"Something's wrong..." Brad's eyebrows furrowed as he noticed a subtle change in the time between drops again. "They've changed it." He closed his eyes. It had taken him a long time to figure out the schedule under the influence under whatever hallucinogens he was injected with.
