Van Helsing moves quietly around the room, sliding weapons into the leather bag on the floor beside Beowulf, trying to prevent the metal parts from clanking into one another. Beowulf tilts his head and snuffles at Van Helsing's ear. "Shhh," he says to the wolfhound, "we're not going anywhere yet." And he scratches the dog's head. He takes a quick glance over his shoulder at the woman asleep on the bed, then tucks a couple more items into the bag.
