[ He's not believing any of this. Any of it. Either everyone's cuckoo or he's on some kind of drugs, and Dexter isn't certain which of those sounds more plausible. ]

Someone mind telling me where I can get a plane ticket back to Miami? I'll settle for a freighter at this point. A helicopter? Seaplane? [ Pause. ] A yacht?

I get it. First thing everyone asks is how to get home, but I'm not the kind of guy to kick up my heels and take it all for granted. Crime scenes to get to, work to do, and there's my son--he needs me.

...

How about a kayak?

I'm sorry, sir. There's plenty who can fly and can't leave either. [Herself included.] It's very nervewracking... I'm sure your son will be alright though.

[She smiles.] I'd say so, I'm just a regular copper.

[secretlabtech]

[ When you say 'plenty who can fly' he assumes you means 'pilots' and therefore doesn't get freaked out about it. ]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Nothing wrong with that. All I get is a-- [ He has his plastic ID in his hand, and flexes it. ] --laminate and latex gloves. So you're uniform?

[bloodthirsts]

There's nothing to stop you from trying to leave, I'll just warn you that the further away you get the more discomfort you'll experience. It's not very pleasant. [Some people only believe it when they see it after all.]

Uniform, exactly. From England too, originally, bit different I think.

[secretlabtech]

How far out can you get, exactly?

[ He likes his boat. For reasons. How's he supposed to get anything done without it? ]

Everything's a bit different in England.

[ Okay, so that was an uncomfortable and unexpected memory. ]

[bloodthirsts]

Not far out to sea before it really starts to hurt, I've heard. I have trouble when it comes to crossing running water as it is without the pull as well, so I haven't been able to try it myself.

Have you ever been?

[secretlabtech]

Aquaphobia?

[ Yeah he has no idea. ]

To Paris, not England, but Miami's a big tourist destination for all sorts.

[bloodthirsts]

Ah, no. I'm... well it might be hard to believe, but I'm a vampire.

I've seen Miami on the telly, it looks a nice place.

[secretlabtech]

[ He just stares. Stares more. ]

You're a vampire? That's like... Fashionable with kids these days right?

[ Because Miami. ]

[bloodthirsts]

[She can't help smiling.] It wasn't when I'm from but... it's true. You'll find a lot of things you may not have believed possible where you're from exist here.

[secretlabtech]

I'll believe it when I see it, to tell the truth. I'm in forensics. We're big on finding evidence for things before we make a decision one way or another.

[bloodthirsts]

I didn't believe until I saw it as well. I'd be happy to show you sometime though.

[secretlabtech]

I think I'd like that. It'll save me turning around and expecting to see something familiar if I learn a bit more about this place, right?

[bloodthirsts]

I think so. Once you can see with your own eyes it's easier to believe. My name's Seras Victoria.

[secretlabtech]

Dexter Morgan. It's nice to meet you.

[tinyvampiregod]

And next give him a botany lesson in vampire weaknesses,
Police Girl.

[bloodthirsts]

[Not even going to deal with you right now, nope!]

[tinyvampiregod]

[He's might give you an object lesson about telling non-Hellsing individuals (strangers at that!) about weaknesses that might truly incapacitate you. Possibly by throwing you into the water and letting Walter fish you out.]

omg that'd be hilarious

[bloodthirsts]

[It's nothing he couldn't learn by looking at basic vampire lore or reading Dracula!]

Re: omg that'd be hilarious

[tinyvampiregod]

[It is different knowing first hand.]
