bright light city

My name's Mick St. John. I got here a couple days ago although don't ask me why. Or how. Then again, from what I've read, that seems to be the case with everyone here.

I have fairly particular dietary needs. I'm without my usual contacts - actually I'm without any of my contacts - and I haven't been able to make any more that I can trust.

I've noticed that there are several people around here who are a little like me. I guess that's what comes of being a Private Investigator, huh? So I was wondering if anyone could put me in touch with somebody who could supply a little A pos. I don't take from humans unless they're willing freshies. Back in LA I get my supplies from a contact in a morgue. He's one of us so it's easier. But here...

Jesus, this is crazy. We're supposed to be secret.

[Private]

No Beth. No Josef. No Guillermo. No Logan - damn I never thought I'd miss him and his Guitar Hero.

No Cleaner because - not needed. Man, that's not easy to work out. The Vamps here all behave? Not that I mind. Less for me to worry about. But we all seem just a little different from what I can figure.

I hate having to come out in the open like this. But I'm thirsty.

Why so many floors unavailable? Accommodation seems to start on the 13th floor - what's beneath? I'm guessing it's to do with Zenner since it's pretty much a no-brainer. But I can't get in and I can't see or hear anything from outside any of the windows.

I hate feeling like a pack of produce in a grocery store. This is not helped by my new tattoo.

The World Cup? Today? US playing England? I just might have to check in on that.

I already hate Vuvuzelas.

Dad and I found a place. It's even big enough for an office. So it looks like Vegas is getting Mars Investigations after all. The philandering spouses and other assorted low-lifes of Sin City should watch their backs.

I think Zenner sent Padmé home. Her room was empty when I stopped by this morning.

SERIOUSLY ZENNER?

SERIOUSLY?

You doing okay? You've been awfully quiet lately.

Let's go do something fun.

I've never had to be on the look out for vampires before. Shouldn't we just all wait outside of the local Hot Topic?

Your dad just contacted me about finding someone named Rachel. Do you know what he's talking about? He says it's for a good reason, but after what Lilly told me about him, color me skeptical.

I might have a case for us.

I'm not sure if there are any other private investigators in the area, but I have a feeling there probably are.

I'm Special Agent Peter Burke. My partner and I opened up a business focusing on white collar crimes, however I've gotten requests for other types of investigations. I thought I would check in to see what areas of expertise everyone has so we can suggest another agency if a client comes in with a case that isn't really our thing.

Alright Jess I think we need a flow chart to make it through the Bachelorette, I've already forgotten half their names. Also I'm a little disappointed no one ever offered to always guard and protect my heart within minutes of meeting me. God, chivalry truly is dead.

Who wants Chiclets? I've brought back enough for all.

Lilly;
In case I didn't tell you enough over the weekend...I am so glad to have you back. This weekend was like old times.

I'm too lazy to unpack tonight. Let's order up obscene amounts of takeout and watch bad tv.

Oh, Tijuana. You classy town.

But I have missed the beach.

Either of you considering the option of furthering your college education while we're stuck here?

filtered; Dad
I know we don't want to be stuck here forever, but I was thinking of maybe looking into getting our Nevada PI licenses? We could be study buddies.

Alright so mine and Alex's last final is on Wednesday and to celebrate I have rented out this awesome beach house down in Tijuana. We have it for Saturday to next Monday. Who's in?

It's Sunday night. We're young, pretty, have unlimited cash, and just so happen to be in one of the most sinful cities on the planet...

Who's up for bowling?

Dinner tonight? Just me and you. I thought we could get some steaks and grill them up on the roof. I'll even let you play your ancient rock music.
