Qonzilqointec In London

Qonzilqointec In London



MI-6 Agent Diablos Nocturna was in his London apartment reading documents about the unstable political situation in Turkey over Kurdish anger at the Turkish government's refusal to use its military to defend the Syria-Turkey border town of Kobane.




A rustling came through the curtains of his apartment.


And standing there was the Aztec vampire princess Qonzilqointec wearing a black evening dress and black spiked stiletto high-heeled shoes.



"Well, hello," Diablos Nocturna put his folder of documents down.


"Hello, Diablos," the Aztec vampire princess smiled, "if I may call you by the first name of your MI-6 code name."



For Qonzilqointec had known Diablos Nocturna before he had become an MI-6 agent.



"Of course your Highness," Diablos smiled,  "what brings you to London?".



"Well I spent a few days in Paris," Qonzilqointec answered, "where I was meeting with various art dealers trying to buy a painting that Toulouse-Lautrec had once painted of me."


"I didn't know that Toulouse-Lautrec had once painted a picture of you," Diablos Nocturna was suitably impressed.


"Yes," Qonzilqointec smiled as she touched her jade earring, "two actually. One of me wearing a fashionable Parisienne evening gown of the 1890s and the other of me in the nude."


"Toulouse painted one of you in the nude?" Diablos Nocturna had never heard this in the art history course he once took.



"Yes," Qonzilqointec sighed, "unfortunately that particular painting went down on the Titanic."



"No wonder there have been so many salvage trips down to the ocean depths to see what can be recovered from the Titanic," Diablos Nocturna poured two glasses of red wine.


"Thanks," the sexy and seductive Aztec vampire princess brushed back her hair as she accepted both the compliment and the glass of red wine.



"Anyone else try to paint a picture of you in the nude?" Diablos Nocturna was starting to regret not having taken any oil painting classes himself when he was younger.



"Pablo Picasso," Qonzilqointec answered, "but since I had no desire to look like a cube or an ear or an eye with two noses, I turned down his request."



Diablos Nocturna laughed.



In the distance sounded the howl of a wolf-like creature.


"That sounds like a werewolf," said Qonzilqointec who was familiar with such creatures.


"It does indeed," Diablos Nocturna agreed.



He too was familiar with such creatures.


"Never recalled hearing anything about there being a werewolf in the neighbourhoodtonight," Diablos sipped his wine, "there's a trade union meeting in the neighbourhood labour hall at which far-left Marxist British Labour MP Magog Rhys Petley is the guest speaker."


"Maybe the meeting is turning out to be a howling success," the Aztec vampire princess suggested.


"Indeed," Diablos Nocturna laughed, "so did you locate the painting that Toulouse-Lautrec painted of you fully clothed?".



"I was fully clothed in an evening gown in the painting," Qonzilqointec answered, "Henri himself was in the nude when he painted it."


"I see," Diablos Nocturna was intrigued, "and did he paint it using a brush or looking at you was he inspired enough to paint it using something else?".

Now it was the Aztec vampire princess' turn to laugh.


"I take it from the look on your face that you managed to locate the painting," Diablos Nocturna poured two more glasses of red wine.



"Yes," the Aztec vampire princess smoothed her dress, "I found it-- this painting of me with its unique 'brush' strokes and mixes of paint and precious stains."



"And what did the art dealer have to say when you bought it?" Diablos Nocturna asked.



"He said it was a good thing for art and history that the German businessman who bought the painting in the early 1930s took seriously ill the first week of May 1937 thus preventing both him and the painting from being aboard the Hindenburg that ill fated week," Qonzilqointec answered.


"A good thing for art and history indeed," Diablos Nocturna raised his glass of wine and drank a toast, "so anything else exciting happen to you in Paris?".


"Well I watched that sleezy harlot Isis push Swiss scientist Dr. Fahrenheit Celsius off the bell tower of Notre Dame Cathedral which caused him to plunge to his death," the Aztec vampire princess seethed through her vampiric fangs.


"Yes, I heard about that murder on the news here," Diablos Nocturna finished his wine, "so it was the Vampiress Isis who committed it eh?".


"Yes," Qonzilqointec replied.



The news reported on BBC a week ago last Wednesday evening noted that not only had Dr. Celsius been killed but he had landed on top of a street corner poetry reciter killing him as well.


The street corner poetry reciter had just finished reciting John Donne's famous lines, "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee" when the bell tower plunging Swiss scientist fell on top of him.




As for the deep-rooted enmity between Qonzilqointec and Isis, that went back to the time when the French Emperor Napoleon III who served as an imperial puppet for the Vampiress Isis' plans for world domination attempted to place a Hapsburg on the throne of Mexico as the Emperor Maximilian I.




This ticked off the Aztec vampire princess Qonzilqointec who believed that the throne of Mexico was reserved for her spiritual godfather Quetzalcoatl.



"So you went to Paris to purchase a painting that Toulouse-Lautrec painted of you," Diablos Nocturna smiled at Qonzilqointec, "what brings you to London?".



"I came to see Dr. Cadbury Rocher," Qonzilqointec answered, "and then I saw Renfield R. Renfield."


"You saw the Vampire Set's chief research scientist and then his shapeshifting hamster/human Chief of Security and Intelligence Gathering?" Diablos Nocturna lit a pipe.


"That's right," the Aztec vampire princess nodded.


"So how's Renfield doing?" Diablos Nocturna looked up the term Severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder in the Complete Oxford Dictionary and noticed Renfield's picture was along side it.



"Well talking of oil paintings of people  posing in the nude," Qonzilqointec laughed, "Renfield boasted to me that a well-known Malaysian woman artist who I had never heard of had painted two oil paintings  of him posing in the nude."


"Really?" Diablos Nocturna started to choke on his pipe, "and whatever became of those paintings?".



"Well one of them disappeared along with the plane that it was on- Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370," the Aztec vampire princess replied, "and the other went down on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 when the Amsterdam art dealer who bought it was trying to return it to the Kuala Lumpur art gallery from which he bought it to demand his money back."


"I see," Diablos Nocturna remarked.


"Although," the Aztec vampire princess rubbed her chin, "there are rumours that it was found among the wreckage on the ground and its finding is responsible for giving recurring nightmares to Russian soldiers who are covertly operating in Ukrainian territory."


"That I can believe," Diablos Nocturna emptied his pipe.



"And now," Qonzilqointec approached him, "I have discussed with Dr. Cadbury Rocher and Renfield R. Renfield a project I have in mind.  And now I'm going to discuss that project with you."



She leaned forward giving Diablos Nocturna a good view of her ample bosom down her low-cut evening dress.


"Well," Diablos Nocturna said, "as Dr. Frasier Crane used to say on his Seattle radio call- in show on that old 1990s TV comedy series Frasier, 'I'm listening'.  "
