14.) Also she can taste fear under the rage as being the root of the anger... I'm starting to think it's meant to show that the person is bad or weak or in the wrong. It's probably meant to show that but I think fear/terror is a totally valid reaction to someone feeding on you at the drop of a hat, without your permission, and in front of a roomful of witnesses who are going to say and do nothing to help you. Like Reba, this scene is very rape-tastic to my mind, especially since there is literally no way that this man can resist Anita, despite the size differences. (In fact, the size differences and the sudden, irrational violence towards the vamps might be emphasized because it's either a kink to subdue big, violent men or to make him seem Super Menacing since she got flak over Reba who was neither enormous or "menacing".
15.) Billings... his eyes wide and his face confused. He's brain-raped. There's nothing left. If he was hot by Anita's standards, he'd be joining whoever the hell sleeps on Anita's floor. But he's not hot so Anita's not going to admit to what she's done, much less take responsibility for her actions... as much as she ever does, at any rate. As it is, Zerbrowski's going to have to put him with all the other rolled people... or kill him and get rid of the body, I suppose.
At any rate, this should make Anita's true nature obvious to everyone else. It's too bad that Perry the Stickler for Law/Rules wasn't there to see it, because I don't think there's much that Zerbrowshi the zombie can go against his necromancer-master's orders/wishes.
16.) Truly, an atrocity has been committed in bringing such unsightly creatures over! And that's the true reason that none of these vamps are going to make it out of the morgue. (And, hey, all this blather about them being hungry means that you were probably right and the holey vamps were the full, murderous ones.)
17.) Smith says that if Anita says they haven't fed, then she's right. Wasn't he just calling her a monster for killing vamp-teens? (Then Anita touched him and... he changed his mind... oh. So here's another one for Zerbrowski to get rid of. *sigh* RPIT probably has an appalling turnover rate.)
18.) any discussion on it is gonna be pointless anyway No way! If this pointless discussion of vamp bites and who drained Mulligan (and that just begs to be mocked) isn't had, Anita can't swing her weight around and be hateful.
19.) I'd like to know WHY they were willing to kill cops over that girl still, by the way. You're asking questions about a being that is bot female and not Anita. Your curiousity is doomed to go forever unanswered by my reckoning.
20.) You're only as tough as your threat is good No, no, no. This is like saying "Your bite is only as good as your bark", which is utter nonsense. Only completely ineffectual people believe this.
21.) Zerbrowski returns and says they need to talk about Billings, Anita says later. Under my Zerbrowski = a zombie theory, he can't argue this any more than Damian can. I hope they have a secret support group.
22.) "like the serial killer who left his wee little vamps to take the blame for his kills, a few years ago?" DANGER! DANGER, DEAR READER! There has been a personality breach in this book. There has been a timeline breach in this book! And the Logic-sensor has preemptively self-destructed.
23.) I kind of like Urlrich. He seems to be fighting through the Sue Haze. I like the super determined.
