With his free hand, he reached into his pocket for the handkerchief. She was struggling mightily, but Cooper was a stubborn son of a bitch if nothing else. He was trying to move his hand around and put his opened handkerchief over her nose. Then he saw the flash of movement out of the corner of his eye that he knew was an elbow coming towards him. That caught him square on the nose. Ouch. He was going to be feeling that tomorrow morning.

Gritting his teeth against the pain, he swung the handkerchief around and pressed it tightly over Alex's nose and mouth. Even if she held her breath, she'd have to breathe in some of it eventually. The potent wolfsbane would help to slow her down and incapacitate her.
