Complete story — includes the ending
Eph and Nora, assisted by Jim, perform an autopsy on Redfern's transformed body and are completely baffled by his transformation. Jim confesses to Eph and Nora that he allowed the large box to leave the airport and has been accepting small bribes to help pay for his wife's medical bills. Eph, furious, strikes him. Elsewhere, Eldritch Palmer hires computer hacker Dutch Velders to disrupt the city's entire Internet and telecommunications systems. Meanwhile, Ansel Barbour, another survivor, tries to mask his worsening symptoms from his worried wife, Anne Marie. He insists she take their children to his sister's when he starts lusting for blood. Returning home, she finds the family dog dead and Ansel has chained himself inside the garden shed. He wants to attack her, but, still cognizant, restrains himself and pleads that she leave and never come back. She manages to push her angry neighbor into the shed for Ansel to feed on. Eph and Nora visit the Arnot household to verify Mr. Arnot's claim that Emma returned home. They find Emma and her father fully infected. Setrakian arrives and decapitates father and daughter. He urges Eph and Nora to join his quest. Nora is repulsed by Setrakian's cold-blooded killing of the infected, but Eph is more open to joining him. They plan to video record an infected human (or strigoi, as Setrakian calls them) which Eph can show his superior, Dr. Everett Barnes, at the CDC.
