    Summary

    Blackmail. Illegal porn. Undercover at a gay bar. The Nice Guys sure are at it again.

     

    “Porn? I can throw a rock in this neighborhood and I’m gonna break the window of a porn store.”

    March gestured anxiously, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Healy paused. “Ohhhhh. The nasty stuff. Whips and handcuffs. Girls and animals.”

    “Close,” March said, grimacing. He really, really didn’t want to have to explain this. “Think more like…. Disco.”

    “Disco?” Healy raised an eyebrow. “What, like the queer music? You think the back room of that store is full of porn for… For disco fans.” He nodded thoughtfully a couple of times. “And you’re an expert about this?”

    For a second the whole world went white around the edges and March thought he might pass out. He was too sober for this conversation. What exactly had Healy noticed that morning, how obvious exactly had his full-body reaction to Healy’s hand on his neck been? “I was a happily married man!” March said, and as soon as it came out of his mouth he knew it was wrong. Too fast, too high-pitched, too loud.

    Incriminating.

    Summary

    It was clear to every person in the room that the differences were purely cosmetic. The newcomer wore glasses, his clothing more shapeless than baggy, his face was cleanshaven and his hair was parted with unflattering precision down the middle.

    But the color of that hair, and the eyes behind the glasses, the shape of the face, the curve of the lips, the expressions of petty displeasure, were identical.

    “You are unbelievable,” the stranger said. Joaquim rolled his eyes and gestured to him with barely-concealed distaste, slamming the door shut with a flick of his wrist.

    “Ladies and gentlemen, because today wasn’t bad enough, my cousin Guillermo de la Cruz.”
    -------
    When there's a werewolf at large, what you really need is an expert hunter of the supernatural to save the day. Guillermo's experience is all in vampires, of course, but there's plenty of overlap. And sure, he and his cousin would rather eat glass than spend a night trapped in a room together, but he can still save the day. Right?

    Tonight, nothing will go as planned for anyone; tomorrow, no one in Beaverfield will ever be the same.

    But hey, traumatized and changed forever beats out brutally murdered, every time.
