    Summary

    “Speak to me,” Nandor says, sounding portentous. God, he has a good profile. Just, Guillermo doesn’t know how someone can have a perfect forehead, but Nandor has a perfect forehead. A really good brow bone. “Remind me you are a rational creature.”

    “...I am speaking to you,” Guillermo says. “Actually, I spoke first.”

    ___

    A vampire and a really good baker are chained to a ballroom wall, and they're totally going to die tomorrow.

    Summary

    “Ok, so I’ll go to Mexico City,” says Johnny, with more confidence than he feels. He has some confidence, but having a named destination in a foreign country where he doesn’t speak the language, rather than the nebulous idea of just finding Miguel and Sam, makes it sound harder, somehow.

    And then, just to make it worse, Daniel says, “Why would you go? I’m going.”

    Summary

    “Well, well,” says a cool voice from the sidewalk. Johnny squints against the sunlight, and smiles at last: it’s a slim, dark-haired figure, leaning against Johnny’s Cadillac, hands tucked into the pockets of his ill-fitting suit.

    “LaRusso,” he says. “Keep following a guy around like this, he might start to get ideas about calling the cops.”

    “I knew you stooped low, Johnny Lawrence,” says LaRusso, “but I didn’t know you stooped this low.”

    “A guy’s gotta make an honest living somehow,” says Johnny pleasantly.

    “Really,” says LaRusso. “Well, I ever see a guy living honest, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.”

    Summary

    Dear Johnny Lawrence,

    Well it took me five days to get through every videotape in the house and Ali says I can't call her up in Tahoe. You ever see the movie about the guy who gets stuck on his couch with a broken leg and then somebody murders somebody in the building across from him? I was thinking about murderers and then I started thinking about you.
