"I think of it as a psychic gifte a difference between psychic gifts and ic and Church-sanctioned miracles"

"If they actually mention miracles in their laws, then that’s a first outside of Rome that I’m aware of"

"Then be aware, Anita, because this is the second," he said, and I could hear the smile in his voice, but it didn’tTed in front of the other cops What had they done, or what had happened, between one phone call and the next to le with it?

"Are you okay, Ted?"

"I’o, because he either wouldn’t talk about it or couldn’t with all the other officers in the rooed Micah helpedat a throat with two delicate fang marks on it It was a really small bite radius It could be a child or a woe er holes; no one was going to mistake them for hypodermic needleto put you on speakerphone, Anita Tell us what you see" He didn’t mean tell us; he meant tell them I was pretty sure this was some kind of test If I dazzled them, would they let o play in Ireland? I didn’t want to do an international flight with --that was for sure--butI didn’t like that they were all prejudiced against a psychic gift that I couldn’t do anything about Also, I was a wee bit coot at least two different varooman with a small mouth, or a crowded one"

"This is Superintendent Pearson, Marshal Blake What do you mean, crowded?" His voice sounded like I’d expected Irish in that way that movies convince you must be real It made me smile that he actually sounded like movie Irish; somarks are just like human bite marks in one way, Superintendent Pearson It’s not always the size of the mouth that dictates how a bite mark looks; sometimes it’s how the teeth are placed Someone who has too many teeth for the size of their ether, which will make the space between their canines much smaller than you’d expect for an adult"

Another man’s voice said, "We don’t care about canine teeth We care about the fangs" His accent didn’t match as well, as if he were from a different part of Ireland It was the same idea as a Southern accent here, as coh television and the Internet were erasing regional accents in a lot of places

"The canine teeth are what becoes into a vanore hian make an unhappy noise, but he didn’t make a second remark Pearson outranked him, or someone else in the room did and had taken Pearson’s side

Edward said, in a much more cheerful version of Ted’s voice, "Go to the next picture, Anita"

I did what he asked The fang er still, but the holes weren’t as neat and tidy, so"The er than the last set, but they’re also less neat, as if the vampire used more force to bite down, or jerked out , so it could be the same vamp as bite number two"

Pearson asked, "Do you think we can assume that va between fangs you’d probably be safe assu that, but I’ve known a feouarantee The necks all look like woan here"

"Address her by her title," another voice said, and I thought it was a woan The pictures don’t show the Adam’s apple; how did you know they o an After a while, you just knohat you’re looking at"

Edward said, "Is there anything else that makes you think male or fe to their sexual preferences, so most males prefer to feed on women, and a lot of females feed on men, but some new va predator on a learning curve"

"Detective Logan here, Marshal Blake" And there was so in the way he said my title and name that letoverly sensitive

Micah looked atabout Logan Maybe I wasn’t being overly sensitive

"Yes, Detective Logan?"

"Are you saying that gay vampires would feed on same-sex victims?"

"Possibly, but if you’ve never had vampires in Ireland before, then theseafter whatever victi on other woh as a vampire they could beat the shit out of et rid of the idea that erous than they are, so they feed alardless of their sexual preference"
