May glares "JERK!" And head butts him, startling him. The pooka to the balls? that's beyond startling, that's a surprise! It doesn't seem to have hurt him much

But it did cause him to let go "Stubborn bitch, spoiled brat I..."

"You LET GO!" He yells, even though he already did, and then tackles the man, grabbing onto one of his legs and BITING the meaty part of the thigh.

"You're kidding me" He backhands the boy with superhhuman might

No redcap, he, but still, he's got strong bone-chewin' jaws.

Or tries to.. that is, the backhand misses!

Connor tries to bite the hand that smacks at him! Rude kid!

As suddenly a white ball of fur joins in grabbing the other leg with a SNARL and yanks!

Oak is here!

"BITING IS NOT NICE! Good boys don't BITE!" He drops free when Oak shows up, and cheers him on.

"Fucking crazy job..." The 'man' says "SHit... my suit"

And he kicks at the Dog, HARD!

Such is the force of the blow, that Oak ggives a bakr of surprise and goes flying back in a thud!

May gasps , "Are you onn Roids or som..."

Connor snaps his fingers. "Hang around and find out!" A wince, and he reaches back and gives himSELF a wedgie... the things you do for a bunk... hopefully the nice Lady didn't notice, as he attempts to haul the man upwards to hang from his pants hitched on.... let's say, the gutter, eaves, or a handy tree branch - whatever has a sticky-outy-protrusion in sight.

"Good thing we have that trampoline installed." He says, giving May a sidelong glance...

And up the guy goes

"Do you have a phone?" Connor looks to May. "Gotta call Sam, or gotta call the Boss. Bad new, this is bad news bears is what it is."

RIPPING Sounds!

"he's coming downnn... " And may grabs COnnor and tries to run! Those brownnies, those lovely brownies

The creature lands, bares FANGS in a fury...

and then a voice paraphrases an old horror flick "It's fire, you're eating FIRE Michael"

The creature screams! Momentarily frozen by an illusion of being on fire

Only to be grabbed by someone else, Dirk, whirling the creature around, as a rolling pin his shoved through the vampire's heart

YIPE! He yips in surprise!

The one holdinn the rollinng pin? Anne Marie "If I wanted THOSE Types.. I would have stayed in San Dimas" A huff

Connor clasps May's arm and reassures her, "Those are friends. Dirk brought fireworks and scared off that bad man."

May blinks "He's.. he's.. oh my god was that a vampire?"

"Don't be silly, Vampires aren't real." Says the boy with the very silly hat, tied on with a ribbon, it is.

"HEY Kiddo you almost lost your hat" Zane races up and fastens it more firmly on his head

"That's the most important thing." Connor protests.

"What the hell is going on here?" May demands

"Practice for a play?" Connor offers?

Dirk mutters "I could eat her but Dag would kick my ass. "

"Oh, no. The brownies." Connor's chin wibbles a little, but he remembers that a Squire is strong, and he does NOT cry about that... or the fright. He must protecc Dagmar Friend!

Anne Marie looks at the staked vamprie then says "It's all very easy, Zane will tell you about it"

Zane nods, and pulls out a ballpoint pen "Could you look right here please?"

"How is a pen supposed to explain any..."

Zane hums a tune from the MIB movie and goes "Flashy thing"

Connor moves over to speak urgently to Ann Marie, "He was going to make us into hotdogs!"

"hotsausages." He corrects.

Zane explains "You were so worried about Sam you ran over here and bumped your head, had a nasty nightmare about a stranger trying to evade her home. You'll wake up... because you are sooo sleepy... at Anne Marie's place... beddy bye"

"But there are details misssing and..." and she swoons into Zane's arms "zzzzz"

"Well, then. Dirk, get her to our house. I'm going to heal up poor Oak. I think he's really hurt. Zane, got any idea where to store a vampire?"

"Fire place." Connor offers. "Or bottom of the lake. Or in a tanning salon!"

"Oak?" He realizes. "Oak! Oak, you okay buddy?"

Anne Marie is already moving to Oak who seemed to have been kicked HARD in the hip

Connor trails by her side like a puppy, and pats Oak on the head. "You're a good boy, even if you did bite a bad guy."

A gentle tail wag

And magic works through the dog, as his tail wags more!
