DOWNTIME. I insisted and didn’t give Oberon or Lonny the option of disagreeing. Neither did. We spent a week in our building, doing almost nothing, except for a couple of trips to see Broadway shows. Lonny got us blocks of tickets somehow. Both shows seemed sold out, but Lonny was able to find tickets for the three of us and about a dozen humans. He is like a cunning concierge. Whatever we need, he always seems to find. I get curious sometimes, but we all know what that did to the cat. I don’t take any chances with curiosity.

We were walking through Times Square after one of the shows when I felt a little sting on my neck. It was a tranquilizer dart somebody had fired at me. Don’t these people know that tranquilizer darts have no effect on a vampire?

Oy. Lonny insisted on taking the dart to a chemist, who reported that it wasn’t full of a tranquilizer. It was ricin, a poison made from castor beans that is always fatal to humans. Once a human gets hit with a dose of ricin half the size of one grain of sand, you might as well start planning the funeral. Nobody seemed to know what effect it would have on a vampire, but I didn’t feel the need to worry. It would either kill me or not, and there was nothing that could be done. I felt okay because I could feel my vampire blood attack the chemical as soon as it hit. Vampire blood takes out almost everything other than radiation.

Why would anybody try to poison me? A vampire would know that something like ricin would not be the best way.

Ricin? Skit.

Lonny had contacts in the New York police department, and he was able to get security camera footage from all the cameras around Times Square. He spotted us walking and zeroed in on the moment of impact. Lonny was able to backtrack the dart to a van.

Tennessee license plate.

Fuck me blind.

I didn’t even need to hear the town: Smithville. What is it with Tennessee? They were about to piss me off.
