Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat Page #2

---

Do I make myself clear?

As clear as a spring in Maine.

Thank you.

You may go.

You must be the Harrisons.

Did we leave our name tags on?

No need for name tags

in a town this size, man.

Everybody knows this is the day

that David Harrison arrives.

You're famous, man.

A celebrity.

A big fish in a dry pond.

This is my wife, Sarah,

and my daughters, Gwendolyn and...

- Juliet.

- Juliet.

I'm Quinton Canada,

the only policeman in Purgatory.

Easiest job in town, man.

No drunks, no tourists, no crime.

- Nice to meet you.

- A pleasure to have met you.

Thank you.

Nice guy.

But what's with the hats?

My darling.

Anna? It's them, the Harrisons, ja?

Everybody knows us?

Celebrities, man.

Anna and Otto Trotsberg,

shopkeepers at your service.

Mardulak told us you come today.

We should treat you good.

Regular VIPs.

But we don't know their kinderl

Come, liebchin.

Come see Auntie Anna.

And what is your name, child?

Juliet Harrison.

And that's my sister, Gwendolyn.

Juliet and Gwendolyn.

Do you hear that, Otto?

Such names!

Your parents must be very romantic.

They're very horny.

Gwen!

To be young and alive, eh, Otto?

And you have such beautiful children.

You see, Anna and I outlived our children.

There's no greater sadness than...

Shush, Otto.

That was a long time ago.

How can we help you?

We could use some supplies.

- How about spaghetti tonight, kids?

- Yay!

Sounds good. Do you want

to help me find the tomato sauce?

- Come on, girls.

- Help yourselves.

We could also use some directions.

We're staying up at the Reilly Mansions.

Oh. The old copper barons' homes.

Ja. It's just down the road,

across the bridge.

Copper barons?

You know, for years,

this little town was booming!

A lot of jobs. Lot of money.

The copper market collapses

and so does Purgatory.

Everybody leaves.

It's a town for ghosts.

And then, Jozek Mardulak,

he bought the whole town.

Lock, stock, and barrel.

- Now it's a town for...

- Otto.

Blood-makers, Anna.

Blood-makers.

Thanks to you, Dave Harrison.

Well, don't thank me yet.

There are a lot of needy people in this world

that could use that blood substitute.

And if I get the production going faster,

then you'll have that boom town again.

Excuse me.

Do you have any garlic?

Garlic?

Where?

Do we have any?

Garlic? No.

No! Never!

Was it something I said?

I don't... Well, they were friendly.

- Neat store!

- Did you get directions to the house?

Yeah. It's a breeze.

It's up there, past the bridge.

Okay, you can go with the groceries.

Two more. Those damn Bisbys.

I didn't hear any alarm.

This time, we're closed.

I'll phone the cafe and tell Sandy.

- It's late.

- I'm cold.
