The Plague Doctor
A short historical Magicians story. Warlock Blake is captured and tortured by witch hunters, and he's not hiding it or escaping when he can easily, but why?

"Oh, looks like we have work to do on our side, Uncle Rey," Mortimer, who was also the local coroner, said, "We'll deal with it!"
