Warrick`s apartment, Las Vegas
“Flack.”
“Howdy-ho, Flackie.”
“Who the hell is this?”
“Me. You know me. Greg. Greggy. Gregory. The Big G. Gregster.”
“I thought you were in Texas.”
“I am but I need to vent, rant and rave.”
“So you call a guy you’ve known for less than two months. Makes perfect sense….”
“You remember Sleeping Beauty?”
“The fairytale?”
“The movie.”
“No.”
“Didn’t you see it as a kid?”
“No, because I happened to be born as a boy.”
“What does that have to do with this? You know the last battle with Maleficent?”
“How could I know that if I haven’t seen the movie?”
“Anyway, she’s this evil old witch who put a curse on an innocent young beauty. I think I’m staying with the real life model of her.”
“Who are we talking about?”
“Nick’s mom. Jillian, not Jill, as I was very grumpily told.”
“And you’re the young innocent beauty?”
“Exactly. You know how the movie ends?”
“Still no.”
“The prince drives a sword through her heart.”
“So you want Nick to stab her?”
“Not literally, but I’m starting to think she wont stop until someone drives a stake through her heart, like they do with vampires. If only I could find one for her….”
“Vampire?”
“No, heart. You know those people who keep that frozen phoney smile on their face no matter what?”
“Yeah.”
“She’s had that look on her face ever since we got here.”
“Did she know about Nick and you?”
“Nope, he just told her he would bring someone with him.”
“Maybe it’s just shock.”
“Or maybe not. All her kids are coupling up and Nick was the last one. Just by accident we’re also the only couple here who sleeps in separate bedrooms. The double bed in the guestroom suddenly collapsed.”
“The bed just suddenly collapsed?”
“I checked the legs, they were sawed halfway off. We had to sneak out to the barn to have some quality time lone. That witch did it on purpose, so we would have to sleep in separate rooms.”
“But you got a roll in the hay. Literally.”
“Do you have any idea how itchy that stuff is? My Canberra was itching for hours after that.”
“Canberra?”
“You know, my capital down under.”
“I thought that was Sydney.”
“Nope, Canberra is the national capital and also the capital of New South Wales area. And that’s beside the point, maybe I should try garlic….”
“For what?”
“For that woman, it works on vampires. But she walks in bright daylight, so maybe not.”
“Are you sure you’re not overreacting?”
“She spend the entire dinner talking about the girls Nick brought to the ranch before me. That’s not a good sign.”
“I guess not. What about Nick’s dad?”
“Too whacked out on blood pressure meds to think coherently. He had some heart problems some time ago and the doctors told him to take it easy and not take stress about anything. He’s a bit like a cheerful, little bit hazy sloth.”
“At least you don’t need to worry about him.”
“Yeah. What about Silence of the Lambs?”
“What about it?”
“The wicked witch of Texas kinda reminds me about that guy in that movie. I’m just waiting for her to do that creepy thing with her tongue.”
Don tried to control his laughter.
“Do you think she’ll go that far?”
“I don’t know, but if this situation doesn’t improve soon, I’ll buy one of those hockey masks that covers the whole face.”

The Stokes Ranch, Texas
As soon as Nick stepped into his old bedroom, a wiry body tackled him onto the bed.
“G?”
“Who else would tackle you to bed? All your brothers just tackle you to the ground.”
“Have you overdosed on sugar again?”
“No, I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Sorry, I-”
“For three hours! You left me alone with the human cobra! I’ve been stuck here the whole time.”
“You could have gone with me to the stables, I would taught you how to ride.”
“I already know how to ride, just not on a horse. And you’re advertisement for a horsey ride was: Your ass will be sorer than it’s ever been before.”
“I thought that would appeal to you.”
“Well, it didn’t. I had to find my own amusement.”
“What have you been doing?”
“I called Don. We talked about Australia, garlic and Hannibal Lecter. All and all it was a very pleasant chat. Then I did some reading.”
“You didn’t bring any books with you-”
“On my lappie.” Greg picked up his lap top from the table. “I found this great site for CIU slash.”
“CIU? That TV show where plastic-looking people solve crimes and pose under weird lighting every chance they get?”
“Yeah, that. This site has sections for the spin-offs too.”
“They’ve done spin-offs for that?”
“You haven’t seen them? There’s CIU: Miami and CIU: New York. And then the host show: CIU: Crime Investigation Unit.”
“That show is a piece of crap. They don’t even know what they’re doing with the equipment, and the procedures-”
“Nick, it’s just entertainment. And they got a lot of hot guys.”
“And then there’s that creepy old guy with a fascination for reptiles.”
“And two hunky CSIs, one surgically altered redhead, a workaholic brunette, doughnut munching bald detective and a cool and hip DNA tech.”
“Like I said that show has nothing to do with reality.”
“You don’t think that sounds familiar?”
“Nope.”
“Maybe I’m just imagining things. This place makes me go paranoid.”
“Are you still going on about my mama?”
“I swear, I kept the shower curtain open the whole time I was in there, just in case she decides to go all Psycho on me.”
