Gabriel listened, only half-attending to what was being spoken as he attempted to ascertain what he could from simply observing the unconscious patient, but some of their conversation did stand out: a curse.

"There's no medication in his system now," he said after a few moments' time, in response to Constantine's initial question. "It's leukemia, gone completely unchecked."
He glanced up, respectful now in light of the man's sobriety. "Did he say anything about this curse, Constantine? Who cast it, or what might be done to reverse it?" If it had already responded to mortal methods, there was at least some option open to them.
