Lost Boys: The Thirst Page #4

All right. I'll be right there.

Hello, Edgar.

So, what's so important you need me

to come down here right away?

Well, I thought you should meet

your new partner.

When you turned me down,

I was desperate, so I hired someone else...

...and I'd really feel bad making him come

all the way from Hollywood for nothing.

Hollywood?

I don't like the sound of it. Who is this?

Lars Von Goetz?

Lars, this is...

Oh, yeah. The Toad.

Frog.

- Edgar Frog.

- That's what I said.

Yeah.

I'm Lars Von Goetz.

But you already knew that.

And this is Claus, my camera operator.

So let's go kick the sh*t

out of some little rave punks, huh?

But first, I gotta eat.

I got the metabolism

of a 12-year-old boy.

Can I speak with you for a minute?

Right.

Never fear, Lars Von Goetz is here.

As long as the check clears.

Lars Von Goetz?

You hired Lars Von Goetz?

- I thought you'd be happy.

- Happy?

First you expect me

to kill a head vampire...

...then you expect me

to babysit some reality show reject?

You're not going to have to babysit him.

Haven't you seen his show?

The man's wrestled a grizzly bear,

a lion and an alligator.

He's amazing.

That was staged.

All reality shows are staged, okay?

Von Goetz, whatever his name is,

he's a fraud.

Vampires are, like,

- Well, I think he can take care of himself.

- We'll see about that.

That creepy guy's looking at me.

- Oh, gross.

- Here's the deal.

If I'm gonna do this,

I'm gonna need weapons.

Right. You said that.

I'll go see my guy tomorrow.

- You don't want me to come with you?

- No.

He's a little twitchy about new faces.

Listen, buddy, if you're looking

for the diet frozen-yogurt bar...

...it went out of business last summer.

Actually,

I'm looking for a Batman number 14.

That's a very serious book, man.

Only five in existence.

Four, actually.

I'm always looking out

for the other three.

Edgar, since I know...

...I'll never be able to talk you

out of what you're about to do...

...I can't let you go up against a potential

head vampire without giving you this.

One of the first books on vampire hunting

ever written.

It'll hopefully keep you safe.

Watch your back. Alan.

P.S. If you're still alive on Tuesday,

be sure to call Mom.

It's her birthday.

- Book O'Neer.

- Hey, Zoe.

I need your help with something.

- It's important.

- Sure.

I'll be waiting.

Wow, so the Gwen Lieber

hired you to find her kidnapped brother?

Yeah, and I think this book

might help me figure out...

...where they've taken him to.

I need you to scour it for any clues,

anything you can find.

I don't see how this old book is gonna

help you find anyone, but I'll give it a try.

Do me a favor.
