тАЬItтАЩs like gulping down a vitamin and saying thatтАЩs supper. YouтАЩd starve to death pretty quick. But
thanks for going to all the trouble,тАЭ I added, because she looked so crestfallen. I had to admit I was
pretty disappointed myself. Now IтАЩd have to hunt. I thought of Nick.Give him a call, why donтАЩt you?
HeтАЩll be here in a heartbeat. Then I made the thought go away, fast.

The phone rang again, but I put up a hand to stop Jess from bounding back into the other room. тАЬIтАЩll get
it. ItтАЩs probably my dad, anyway. HeтАЩs had a day to get over the shock.тАЭ I walked into my living room,
and saw that Jessica had thoughtfully unpacked the boxes and put my things back. She was an exhausting
pal, and I was damned lucky to have her on my side. I would do well to keep that in mind. тАЬHello?тАЭ

тАЬIs this Elizabeth Taylor?тАЭ
 тАЬYes. And donтАЩt joke about my name; IтАЩve heard them all.тАЭ

тАЬElizabeth Taylor of one-two-one-five Ramsey Street?тАЭ

I yawned, and covertly felt my teeth. Nope; fangless. тАЬYes, and IтАЩm perfectly satisfied with my long
distance service. Thanks anyway.тАЭ

тАЬWhy,тАЭ the voiceтАФmale, sounded like he was in his early 20тАЩsтАФdemanded, тАЬare you answering the
phone?тАЭ

тАЬBecause it rang, dope. Now, IтАЩm really very busy, so ifтАФтАЭ

тАЬBut youтАЩre dead!тАЭ

I paused. How best to handle this? Who was this guy? Visa? The utilities company? тАЬDonтАЩt believe
everything you read,тАЭ I said finally. тАЬAlso, the checks are in the mail, but since I just got laid off IтАЩd like to
make payment arrangementsтАФтАЭ

тАЬYouтАЩre a vampire and youтАЩre in your own house answering your phone?!? Getout of there!тАЭ

I nearly dropped the phone. тАЬA) How did you know that, and b) fat chance! Plus, the mortgage is paid
off. IтАЩm not going anywhere. Nighty-night.тАЭ

I hung up, but almost immediately the phone rang again. If a phone could ring angrily, mine was. Or
maybe I was just picking up the emotions of the person on the other end. Either way, the phone
practically jumped into my hand. тАЬHello?тАЭ

тАЬWhy are you answering your phone?тАЭ

тАЬBecause it keeps ringing!тАЭ Why whywhy didnтАЩt I get caller I.D. when I had the chance? тАЬNow stop
bugging me.тАЭ

тАЬWait! DonтАЩt hang up!тАЭ

Like I would. Could this be another vampire? Even if he wasnтАЩt, he knew I was. Maybe he could tell
me whatтАЩs been going on, give me some pointers. Anything was better than spending the next ten years
finding things out the hard way. тАЬWell,тАЭ I said coyly, тАЬIтАЩm very busy.тАЭ

тАЬLook: come to the downtown Barnes and NobleтАжyou know where that is?тАЭ
