"Dead man's blood?" Spencer repeats, a little incredulous, before he seems to realize that everything he's learning is equal amounts of ridiculous and dead man's blood is no more or less weird than the rest. "That's-- hmm, I've never heard of that as a vampire deterrent. Garlic, sunlight, crosses, yes, but never dead blood. I've never exactly been a horror movie buff, though."
Interesting. Scientifically, how does that even work? Does it weaken the vampires by way of flooding their veins with dead blood, the opposite of what they need to sustain themselves?
It does make sense that vampires would want to keep a low profile, though. Staying out of the way of law enforcement is reasonable. If the world was alerted to the fact that vampires existed, well. Spencer can't predict exactly what would happen, but America does love an excuse to throw its military around.
"How long have you known all of this?" he winds up asking. A little exasperated, a little frustrated. Mostly curious. "I mean-- I sort of already know the answer. Your dad has a list of similar crimes almost as long as yours, so I can only assume that your dad was a hunter too. Did he teach you all of this as a kid?"
