Where do you go when you want to find a vampire in Sunnydale?

Well, that depends on the vampire, does it not?

For this one, Sherlock will not start out by wandering the streets aimlessly at two in the morning.

It's five in the morning—closer to sunrise; the cautious vampires are likely to be tucked in for the day already—and he is aimed somewhere very specific.

Reed is not necessarily cautious, but the vampire he is now is smarter than the human had been, and he is indeed safely inside.

He has made something resembling an effort not to draw too much attention to himself - he knows full well that his former chief of security will be looking for him, at the very least, but he's not prepared to leave town just yet. He has unfinished business. Unfortunately for him, though, as a newborn vampire, he lacks experience in covering his tracks.

And, in a town full of younger vampires who still remember their human lives, having a rather well-known face doesn't help much either. Even in the short time he's been on his own, Reed has been making connections and claiming victims, and the impressions he's left have been more memorable than he realizes.

Anyone who knows what they're doing, and where to ask the right questions, is bound to find some answers.
