That relatively short answer offers a wealth of information about how vampires operate. They're apparently pack animals who gather in nests, there's relatively few nests per state, and they might be cowards on their own. That's... reassuring, actually.
"Okay. So we're not going to have some stray vampires bent on revenge following us. Good," he says, relieved. "They really wouldn't come after me just because I'm FBI?"
That seems a little too good to be true, actually. Or maybe vampires are smart, and wouldn't go after someone whose job it is to track down criminals across state lines.
"That's strange, actually, because law enforcement are the victims of crime at about the same rate as non-law enforcement," he rattles off, still looking for a decent Thai place on his phone. "Home burglaries occur at roughly the same rate, as does assault. The rates obviously go down if a police officer is in uniform, but in plain clothes all bets are off the table, apparently. In fact, if someone was looking to steal a gun, law enforcement would be more of a target."
Spencer breaks off, thoughtful.
"So I guess it's a good thing vampires probably don't need guns."
