Title:   "Quid Pro Quo"  (last Knight Spoiler and Fever Spoiler)

I'm a relative newbie at Fanfic, so please, remember that
and try to be kind.  This story was inspired by my hatred of
the ending of "Last Knight".  I hate it, hate it, hate it!
So in a complete state of denial, I offer you this.

DISCLAIMER:
The characters of Nick, Natalie, Lacroix, etc. are characters of
the Forever Knight show and as such are the property of TPTB.
They are not mine I am just borrowing them for a little while.

"Damn you, Nicholas"

Nicholas felt the blow and then the room went dark.

                            *   *   *

Natalie awoke in a hospital bed.  She was groggy and did not
fully realize what had happened to put her there.  She tried
to remember, but flashes of images she had never seen before
clouded her mind.

Eventually, she looked up to see a transfusion IV leading
into her left arm.  Her right hand reached up to her throat
and found a small neat bandage.  She closed her eyes and
shuddered as realization finally dawned.

When she opened them again, Lacroix stood over her with an
expression on his face that she could not fathom.

"Quid pro quo," he said.

"Whaaat?"  Natalie stammered.

"I said 'quid pro quo', Doctor Lambert.  You saved the lives
of my people.....my children.  Now *I* have spared your life."
Natalie gasped as Lacroix continued, "We are even.  Do *not*
forget that.  Do not expect me to be so...generous...again."
Then Lacroix was gone.

She stared at the open door thru which he had vanished and
slowly shook her head in astonishment.


The End
