John had mostly kept to himself since his arrival. It wasn't that he didn't want to get to know people, he was just still sorting everything out. And there was a lot to sort out. Three weeks ago, he'd been a regular detective in Vegas. Then people started dying and an annoying Canadian came out of nowhere and told him that aliens were real. Then he'd got in a firefight with one of the bastards and...he was pretty sure he'd died. And to top it all off, he'd ended up inexplicably alive again on some other world with one city that you couldn't leave. He was starting to wish he'd never met McKay. His life may have sucked before, but at least it had made sense.
But this place didn't suck too horribly. He'd woke up to ten grand in his account, and no way was he going to complain about that. And now, he'd just left the bar he'd been in that evening. He heard a rustling in the alley and figured someone might be in trouble. And he was, first and foremost, a detective. He helped people. He went into the alley, grabbing a stick from the ground because...yeah, that would totally help if there was a bad guy. And then suddenly he found himself pinned up against a wall by a teenage girl...with yellow eyes and fangs...what the fuck? "Holy shit," he shouted. "Keep the teeth away from me." He brought up his knee hard, knocking her back. When she tried to jump at him again, he held out the stick, and watched in shock as she crashed into it and it stabbed her in the chest...and she exploded into dust.
"Holy crap," he said to himself. "You mean to tell me vampires are real too...fuck this. I'm investing in a wooden stake."
