Summary: "Mind if I stake you in the heart?"

Going out to get the mail, Mike cringed at the sight of Babbitt approaching.

"Good afternoon, Nesmith," Babbitt greeted. "Nice weather we've been having."

"If you don't mind livin' in a furnace," Mike muttered. "Somethin' on your mind?"

"Now that you mention it," Babbitt replied, in a tone that was just casual enough to make Mike nervous, "I've been toying with the idea of raising the rent. Say, another fifty dollars a month. How's that grab you?"

"Mind if I stake you in the heart?"

Babbitt glared through narrowed eyes. "But I'm not a vampire."

"Could've fooled me," Mike snarked.
