Los Angeles Encounter

Dracul Van Helsing was walking the streets of Los Angeles with Hyung Grace Kwan.

"So this was the city where Sydney Bristow started out," Dracul surveyed the downtown.

"Umm... Sydney Bristow was not a real person, Dracul, you do know that?" Hyung looked at him.

"Yes," Dracul answered.

Dracul had been such a big fan of the TV show Alias that she had to make sure.

"That was interesting the guy who played Arvin Sloan on Alias played a shady and crooked lawyer on that episode of Nero Wolfe Mysteries we watched last night," Dracul noted, "not really much a change in character from his Arvin Sloan character."

The night before, Hyung and Dracul had watched a couple of episodes of the A&E version of Nero Wolfe Mysteries on DVD.

"Say, isn't that Renfield?" Hyung asked pointing at a High Definition flat screen TV in the window of an appliances store.

Dracul looked.

Sure enough it was Renfield.

He was dressed in the uniform of a City of Los Angeles policeman and was (according to the latest closed captioning subtitles on the screen) being beaten up by a group of UCLA students after he got a can of mace stuck in his belt which he was obviously intending to pull out and spray at the students.

"And that's Amadeus isn't it?" Hyung pointed at the screen again.

Sure enough it was Amadeus. He walked by the group of students vigourously pounding Renfield as he calmly ate a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips and joyously laughed his head off.

One of the female students who was kicking Renfield with her high-heeled shoes was dressed like Snow White since she was a member of a campus amateur theatre group that was putting on a production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

Hyung with her lip-reading skills noted that Amadeus seemed to be lip-synching the song Whistle While You Work as he watched this.

As Dracul turned the corner at the end of the block, he walked straight into... the Aztec vampire princess Qonzilqointec.

"Dracul," Qonzilqointec smiled and then embraced and kissed him.

Hyung was furious when she saw this.

"Hands off of him, you longlasting hooker of the night," she pushed the Aztec vampire princess aside.

"Did you just call me a longlasting hooker of the night?" Qonzilqointec slapped Hyung's face.

"You bitch," Hyung wrestled Qonzilqointec to the ground.

"You walking advertisement for a sexually transmitted diseases clinic," Qonzilqointec answered back with a head lock.

Dracul watched the unfolding cat fight unfold on the streets of Los Angeles as skirts and spiked stilettos started flying in every direction.

Dracul ordered a hot dog from a nearby sidewalk hot dog vendor and, after drowning the hot dog in an ocean of mustard and relish and onions, sat down on a nearby bench and watched the wrestling match as he ate.

To be continued.
