"I can cross the bridge into town no matter how hard the river
runs. The garlic growing in your garden means nothing, and I can enter your
apartment unbidden.
"I won’t show up on security cameras because I’ve hacked
them. You may see me in the mirror just before it happens. The holy water you
keep in the dresser doesn’t matter. Your grandmother’s crucifix can’t hurt me
unless you overhand it into my head, and I’m not going to let you do that.
"I don’t have an insatiable thirst for your blood. This is
just a job to me, one of many The Council has hired us lowly humans to carry
out. We’re just so good at killing each other, and their reasons are no worse
than ours. When I’m done I’ll drive into the sunrise, well paid and unafraid. I
won’t sparkle."
