Karl hadn\u2019t complained about taking the damaged elf to the hospital. He wouldn\u2019t be allowed to take part in any interrogation, anyway. The Supreme Court had ruled in Barlow v. Maine almost forty years ago that anything a suspect said in the presence of a vampire \u2013 police officer or not \u2013 was inadmissible, since there was no way to establish whether vampiric Influence was used to induce cooperation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I gathered that Daniel Craig was fast replacing Sean Connery as Karl\u2019s favorite actor to play Agent 007. I could see his point. Yeah, I watch those movies, too \u2013 but unlike Karl, I only see them once. <\/p>\n

We agreed that Craig was the first actor to play the role who looked like he might actually be a professional killer \u2013 and that\u2019s what Bond is, when you get down to it. I\u2019ve known a few real life-takers in my time, and thought that Craig had the attitude down cold, so to speak. Even if he did have a better tailor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“You know people like to gossip.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd vampires, like corporations, are people, too,\u201d she said, giving me a toothy smile. <\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d I said, \u201cbut a lot more talkative.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
