VACHON:   Stabbed and then drained, huh? You could have a connoisseur on your hands. There are vampires who get off on the death rush. These days with everybody being real careful about not making a lot of extra bodies, it's an expenseive taste, but it's like anything else: you can always find people who will cater to any request... for a price.

VACHON:   You said the blood was being collected, right? From a poet? You can always find a market for a special vintage: poet... musician... even an actor brings a premium if you have the right customer. I've heard of people working in that line, but I don't know any.

VACHON:   The thing that doesn't fit is the bodies: both found in very public places. For a blood collector part of staying in business would be cleaning up after yourself.

VACHON:   Trace, if it is a vampire...

TRACY:   What am I gonna do when I find her? I don't know.

TRACY:   Does the name Nicholas Chevalier mean anything to you?

VACHON:   Uh, where did you hear that?

TRACY:   LoPietro said they were lovers, in 1755 when he was Francesca. May this Chevalier guy is still around. Maybe he's the connoisseur we're looking for.

VACHON:   I don't think so, Trace.

TRACY:   So there is something to this guy's story. He was a vampire in a past life?!

VACHON:   Uh, m-maybe there's another explanation, you know.
