“Gabriel regained consciousness slowly. Despite the fact that he was obviously injured, his training kicked in and he deliberately didn’t move or open his eyes until he had a better idea of where he was and who was around him. He gave a subtle sniff of the air. The first smell that hit him was blood. Plenty of his own, and that of one other person. A woman; he could smell traces of her perfume, too. She was moving around in a bathroom somewhere close. He could hear running water. The pillows under his head were freshly laundered and he could also smell furniture polish and bleach. There was also the remnants of many other people,”
