Yeah okay he will go along with this for the time being. Hands, head.

"Lie down on the ground."

Cam sits, but stops short of lying down. "I misplaced a vampire, she says she can't eat, and my tracking device says she's in there."

"Lie down on the ground." And some off-speaker chatter.

"Are you looking into my misplaced vampire?" Cam asks, flopping.

Some soldiers come out of the trees. One of them scans him with some sort of scanner thing. Another one handcuffs him. Then they haul him to his feet. "We've got your vampire," says the first one. 

"Yeah, can you let me within like fifteen feet of her so I can reprogram her catch-and-release doodads? I don't want her to get wood shrapnel to the heart for accepting food. I'm generously assuming here that you have an in with the Red Cross or your own folks get voluntold to donate, if you're shoving live MKULTRA castoffs at her we have a difference of opinion but I can also just replace that as a blood solution."

"You are what, exactly?"

"Let's say I'm an apsel."

"Native to Earth or elsewhere?"

"- it's complicated. It's complicated in, like, three different ways."

"Happen to know if any governments of your species are in diplomatic contact with the American government -"

"That's also complicated but I'm going to lean pretty much toward no."

"Why did you rig a vampire to detonate?"

"I suspected otherwise she'd eat people. She isn't going to explode hard enough to harm bystanders. Maybe a splinter if she has a really weak ribcage?"

"Is there anything here that could be unexpectedly injurious to you or set off her explosive device - allergies to music, machinery, electricity, other species of demon -"

"Nope. Well, I haven't met very many kinds of demon, but provisionally nope. I can set off her explosive device at will in range but I'm not gonna, I would have killed her in the first place if I'd wanted to do that and you let her write me a note so this probably isn't a maximally dystopian secret government vampire project."

"We're doing our best. And they're allowed to kill themselves if they want to. So're you. Is there anyone who will be seriously inconvenienced if you're detained here for a few days?"

"Anybody who needs a cure for cancer a few days earlier than this will allow me to get around to it, similar demographics. Also me, I'm someone. Do you have, like, a good reason why I should let you detain me here for a few days?"

"You're going around rigging people with explosives and wandering into secure areas, that's enough reason for people to want a bit more information before they let you go back to doing that. You have a cure for cancer?"

"Only some kinds. If you have cancer let me know. I didn't ask if you had a good reason to attempt to detain me, I asked if I had a good reason to let you."

"Because you don't know what kind of magic went into protecting this place. You need to be physically present with someone to cure them of cancer? What kinds?"

"I have to be physically present if you want me to go in with syringes my own self but I was just gonna, like, go to the NIH at some point. The classes of cancers I have cures for have names but I do not believe them to be part of your medical jargon even if you are, improbably, a doctor, it would just sound like I was rattling off random proper nouns. The whole unknown magic issue seems like maybe I shouldn't let you take me into the building, I don't think you probably have any heavy duty magic out here where a confused monolingual Spanish speaker could accidentally make a wrong turn. You could bring my vampire someplace to let me reprogram her shit? Or I could probably set up enough repeaters to do it from here."

"We can bring the NIH here. Look, there's not a lot of folks out there trying to figure out how to safely release vampires into the wild, we're on the same side here."

"I seem to be wearing handcuffs."
