"Think of what this would mean!" West exclaimed. "An end to death- eternal life for anyone who wanted it-"

"I failed at that! I created a monster and then...and then..."
His shoulders slumped.
"These shambling abominations that I accidentally unleashed on Paris not too long ago."

West's eyes grew large.
"You mean you-"

"...zombies?"
He glanced miserably past West, at the Paris skyline.
"Yes. And they...they're spreading."

West's face split into a huge grin.
"Ah, but that's a good sign! It's not the desired effect, certainly, but it's progress!"

Victor stared at him.
"Not desired, indeed! I have to stop it. Too many people will die from this if I don't...I only wish I knew how. I've been researching and reversing isn't as easy as I thought it would be."

West shrugged noncommittally.
"Well, regrettable as it may be, at least it produces more test subjects, am I right? More dead works out well for our sort!"
He laughed and jabbed Frankenstein with his elbow.

Victor gave him a horrified stare.
"What? I don't care about test subjects, I care about sparing this city and it's citizens!"

"The end justifies the means, I always say. Where will I be sleeping, by the way? I'd prefer a room with a window, if at all possible..."
He rubbed his hands together and started toward the stairs.

"The end does not justify the means!" He exclaimed, still standing by the door.
Though his statement was a strange one, considering that he'd been trying to rationalize his desire to kill the Emcee in just such a way.

"I'll go choose a room then, if you don't mind," said West as he started climbing the stairs. He had just disappeared from sight when suddenly he leaned back out.
"Dr. Frankenstein, can you do me a favor?"

Finally, Victor closed the front door.
"Yes?" He asked, hesitant to say that much.

"You go have a great day."
He grinned and vanished again.

He stared into empty space, wondering just what had breezed in the door and invited himself to stay. With a weary sigh, he headed off into the house to tell Mira about their new guest.. .
