(Gunn returns to his old haunts. He's attacked by a guard, who he subdues, only to find a crossbow pointed at him by another man)

GIO: This is a situation you might wanna rethink.

GUNN: Nice rig.

GIO: I'm glad you like it.

RONDELL: (arriving) He should. He built it. - Gio, you wanna get that thing out of my boy's face?

GUNN: I see you're still passing along a little something of what *I* taught you.

RONDELL: Word's out, brother. Vamps know better than to *even* cross Venice Boulevard these days. Crew's as tight as it's ever been - even back in your day.

GIO: Charles Gunn?

GUNN: That's right.

GIO: I know all about *you.* *That* name is part of the reason why I came out here.

RONDELL: Gio's from Miami.

GUNN: Ah, coast to coast, huh?

GIO: Little something like that. - Hey, you might be able to help me out. Why is it - that places like LA and Miami bring out the teeth you suppose? I mean, you would think that the vamps would wanna hang in less sunny climes, you know what I'm sayin'?

GUNN: Yeah, I think I do.

GIO: Well, maybe we could ask your *boss* why that is.

RONDELL: Yo, Gio.

GIO: You can't beat 'em, right, Chuck?

GUNN: It ain't even like that.

GIO: Nuh? Okay. If you say so. See, 'cause *I* heard that you was like this big time, alpha vamp killer. And now you working with one? What's up with that?

RONDELL: Gio - who's supposed to be on point out back?

GIO: That be me.

RONDELL: So why aren't you back there?

GIO: Yeah. A'right. It's cool. Y'all can have your nice little visit. (Turns to go with a laugh. To Rondell) You might wanna do that outside - in the *sunshine* - just to be on the safe side, you know?
