“Name and location?”
“Stovsky. Dr. Gerald Stovsky, Jet Propulsion Laboratory. No, wait, that’s not where it is. Wait, let me see… Oh, yes. It’s the corner of First and Main, downtown. I think I’ve… I’ve accidentally drained someone. Oh, dear…”
“How many victims involved?”
“Only the one. You see, I was walking across the street, and I suppose I wasn’t looking where I was going, and this car came careening down the road, and struck me, and–”
“You killed the driver of the car?”
“No, no… it was a hit and run, you see. I was thrown several feet, my neck was broken. My skull, too, I’m sure.”
“Sir, please come to the point. Is there a car wreck to be disposed of?”
“Oh! Well, no… you see, the car that hit me, well, it drove away, I suppose. I wasn’t conscious, so I don’t know exactly what happened, but I assume the driver left the scene. No, another person, a good Samaritan, as it were… he stopped, and–”
“Ah. So you drained the good Samaritan. Please describe the victim.”
“Well, he was… uh, Caucasian, and he had some sort of facial hair… was it a mustache? No, I think… A beard. He definitely had a beard. I remember, it felt very unpleasant in my mouth when I… And he was wearing a… A dark suit. And a striped tie.”
“And you’re sure he is deceased?”
“Yes, definitely.”
“All right, Dr. Stovsky. We’ll bill you.”
“Oh, thank you! Good bye.”

What a perfect choice for a short conversation 
-- and what pitch-perfect execution! 
Even if Stovsky hadn't identified himself, there would have been no question who was speaking here.
Brilliant!
And eeek, you liked the beard thing? Yay! 
It occurred to me that biting a guy with a beard wouldn't be all that pleasant of an experience. And Gerald's always throwing in these weird little tangential things that really are totally off the point... 
But hey--if I got Gerald well enough to make you feel that way, I am very happy. 
(And yeah, it took me a while to stop hearing him, when I was done with the conversation! That guy sticks with you, doesn't he?!) 
You have Stovsky's voice down pat - he sounded every bit like the absent-minded professor that he was. I love how bits of his thoughts invaded the conversation. I cannot recall ever reading a story featuring Stovsky, so this was a treat to read.
Thank you Allegrita!
