"Definitely not. I heard the police were quite angry with you for not being able to identify the killer. Did you see him?"

"Yeah, I did." Carlos nodded. "But, really, what do people expect? It was the middle of the night and I was half asleep. All I was looking at was that goddamn head." Shudder. Freaky head!

"Do you think it was him, then, and not a random freak?" Jaime asked. Really...how could he tell?

Carlos's eyes were far away.
"He looked the same." He mentioned. "Pale face, dark around the eyes. And... He spoke again. It was him."

Oh, right.
"You are the only person who will be able to describe him."

"I won't. Not for the police, anyway." Carlos said. "They'll want to hunt him."

"They will kill him, undoubtedly," Jaime said with a sad nod, "but there are others who would want to hear."

"I'm sure." Carlos grinned. "But I won't tell. I don't want to risk him."

There was a brief pause.
"I would like to hear."

"You won't tell?" He asked softly. You wouldn't, right, Jameson?

"All right." Carlos gave a small smile. "He's no bigger than a normal person. Pale, pale skin, dark around the eyes. His eyes are black, his hair's slicked back. He's cold to to the touch." Carlos's eyes were far away. He could see him, in vague shadows in his mind. Blood on his lips, on his mouth. Carlos's blood.
"He's real."

"What else?" Jaime asked, entranced strangely by a description of himself, "His face? Is it soft? Sharp? Wild? Is he hideous?"

Carlos gave a little apologetic smile. "I don't have the best words of describing. I mean... Everthing's fuzzy from the first time." His eyes unfocused and he thought. "He's not hideous. For sure, a Interview with the Vampire rather than a Nosferatu. Attractive. Not... Not feminine. More masculine. He looked wild in his eyes. Hungry."

Jaime nodded. Hrm. Was it normal to be excited when someone saw you was attractive, even though they had no idea who you were? Well, either way, he was.
"I've never seen him, myself." How could he see anything but a mirror image of himself, hm?
