When Schanke is offered the opprotunity to go down to Arizona and work with an old friend, Nick has flashbacks to the Old West.
Present day:
Blond Hormone is listening to the Nightcrawler's broadcast. Given, as ever, by Our Favorite, Voyeuristic, Walking Orgasm.
(Reference thanks to the following borrowed text from the CERK Archives Site [I have my first contribution to FK there, see Avenging Angel ;-[)!]. And to the now departed, Cousin Acya. I miss her. She maintained the Cousins Page, amongst other web sites, currently threatened for demise. Due to lack of ownership.)
LC: "Tonight your Nightcrawler is ruminating on friendship,
and no one is to be trusted. Who will challenge me on this. Who does not
believe that all friendships must sour, slowly, imperceptably, commenada
la cloche. And in the end it's not the big lie that turns us into mortal"
(Uncle couldn't possibly have chosen that M word to tease Nicky
Boy, could he? Naaah, not him ;-[)!) "enemies, but the little
white lies that drive the wedges between us, poison our loyalty" (Read:
Like the ones you're supposed to have for your 'family',
child.) "and blight our trust." (In your Community
and such Nikkie-Poo...did someone mention 'family'? Oh, yeah...that was
me! Brickster and his "mortal wanna-be" obsessions. Give it up
already!...But he can't...It's only season two.
LaCroix presents his whole dialogue as if to say, I am so much more than a friend to you, dear one. Have you not realized this...yet...
Cut to flash back: 'The wild west', Arizona:
Nicholas, vampire extrordinaire [sp?], finds that he is...drunk. His new found 'friend' laughs at him, as he incoherently lolls on the ground in front of the fire. He then passes out.

Cut to flash back:
Nick regains consciousness to feel someone pulling him up to a sitting position. After being released from the bindings he was unknowingly confined with. [LC kneels close behind N, to his left. physically lifting him] As he looks blearily up, he yanks free from the unexpected hold and glares up at his master. He turns away, irritance shows on his face.
N: "LaCroix."

LaCroix' amusement heightens as Nicholas rubs a hand across his aching forehead.
N: [turning to LC] "How did you know?"
LC: "Where to find you? [the smile still plays across
his pale features] Tsk. Oh, poor Nicholas. I, will always know
where to find you." (The trials Peroxide One must go through to
follow his child... Like I can see him lain out on a bed roll under the
stars. Between the Gilas [James would like that
Cowboy Knight turns away. A haunted look of despair is on him as he sinks back with the unsettling truth of the knowledge.
Fade out.
Orgasmic One can't stay away for long, can he? So just how close was he in that scene? If I were lucky, I might be able to slip in a honey stick or two, between them...;-[)!!!
