(Gunn and Angel are leaning against the hood of Angel's convertible looking at the black kid standing in front of them.)

LESTER: He's cool, right?

GUNN: He's cool.

LESTER: You know, not that I'm prejudiced. I just hate vampires.

ANGEL: You're enlightened, I can tell.

LESTER: See? See how they do? See man? They, they mess with your mind, man! That's the whole reason I called you, G --

GUNN: Just 'cause you've got a vampire problem, and Angel has a little experience in that area. (Lester stares at Angel) Yo, spill it! We ain't got all night.

LESTER: I -- I sort of said I'd take this job drivin' ...

GUNN: Mmm hmm.

LESTER: ... for this big time crew. I never met them but E.J. vouched for me, and now I'm thinking ...

GUNN: ... you'd like to stay out of prison.

LESTER: Well, yeah, there is that. And then I heard they were bringin' in this, this psycho vampire from Vegas. And like I said, man ...

ANGEL: What's the job?

LESTER: Takin' off some museum. Don't know which one.

ANGEL: What are they after?

LESTER: Something big. Supernatural. It's going down later this week, but I'm supposed to meet the head honcho tonight, and if I don't show ... well, E.J. said if they don't hunt me down and kill me, he will!

GUNN: Where's the meet?

(Lester looks around then pulls out a piece of paper. Both Gunn and Angel reach for it, but Gunn is the one that gets it.)

ANGEL: Psycho vampire got a name?

LESTER: Yeah, uh, E.J. said it -- it's something like, uh, Jee-don, or Joe-don ...

ANGEL: Jay-don.

LESTER: Yeah, that's it. Yeah, yeah, he's comin' here for the meetin' tonight. They're picking him up.

ANGEL: Where?

LESTER: Downtown bus, midnight. (To Gunn) Hey, what am I gonna do?

GUNN: Take the meeting. I'll get you out before the crime goes down.

LESTER: (hugs Gunn) I owe you big time, cous. Hey, man! (To Angel) *Nice* to meet you. (Laughs. To Gunn) See you! (Hurries off.)

GUNN: So you know this Jay-don bloodsucker?

ANGEL: I know of him.

GUNN: And?

ANGEL: And he's a player, big on the nightlife and way too dangerous for you. I'll take it from here.

GUNN: You'll what? That's my cousin's life we're talking about.

ANGEL: Which is why I don't want a guy like you jumping in this thing, guns-a-blazing.

GUNN: Since when do I take orders from you?

ANGEL: Since I'm paying you.

GUNN: This ain't no paying gig. I brought it to you.

ANGEL: And I'm taking it from here. If I can shut it down, great. If not, I'll protect him.

GUNN: And what am I supposed to do? Sit home and knit?

ANGEL: I could use a sweater. Something dark.

(Angel gets into his car and drives off as Gunn shakes his head.)
