He waits for the others.

Cell phones are reluctantly given up.

They end up waiting for Lydia to remove all of her jewelry and her belt, before they can go any further.

Scott explains why they've come.

"The doctor will be here to walk you down. I don't know why you want to see him, but it's your funeral."

He returns to his book.

Unlikely to be her funeral, and she can probably do something if it looks likely to become anyone else's.

The doctor is there shortly.

"Mr. McCall, Ms. Martin. I suppose I should have expected you back. Are you here to see Mr. Hale?"

"No. We're looking for Dr. Gabriel Valack."

"Of course. Follow me, and try not to look at the prisoners. Or the patients."

He takes them down a stairwell deeper in the building, and down a long, stark corridor.

There are a few gasps and cries as they pass, and hands pressing up against the glass, or through the bars.

They can see most of the prisoners, and the prisoners can see them.

Some smile, with teeth too sharp and too numerous to be a human's mouth. Others shriek, and beg to be set free.

They walk.

"An interesting assortment."

"These are our prisoners. The patients are kept on the upper floors." 

"Separation is a wise policy, I'm sure."

He brings them to the end of the hall. 

There's a large glass chamber, containing a man sitting quietly, facing away from them. 

"I'll leave you to it, then."

"What a pleasure, Alpha McCall. I'm glad to see you brought the very best of your pack. The wailing woman, the human, and whoever this is."

"Uh, hi. I'm Mason."

"A pleasure. I suppose it's time to cut to the chase."

"Is it true? Did you write this?"

She holds up a slim, paperback book.

"I suppose I'll have to take credit here. Yes, I wrote it."

"Why? Why go to all this trouble just to send us a message?"

"Do these 'Dread Doctors' have something to do with the chimeras?"

"Well done. The Dread Doctors are the ones behind these creatures. They're also trying to get into Eichen House right now. Try not to let them in."

"They're here? Scott, what do we do?"

"They can't get in because of the supernatural protections?"
