Alle,
Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it. Guillermo is one of my favorites as well. He doesn't say much, but you can just tell there's more than meets the eye.

Lovely, nm911. It's always such a joy to get some backstory on Guillermo and this was a lovely insight.

Red - Thanks for your comment. It was interesting to see your take on the same historical event. It was so different from mine, which is very cool. I love the way fanfic exposes us to different points of view on the same scenario. There's more (MBV - Hers) and we'll see what else the muses have to say on this one.

Nutmegger, this was quite interesting and so good to be your first fic (posted). I've heard of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, but admittedly don't know too much about it. Now that I know Guillermo was involved 
I may just look into this a little deeper. Off to read "her" account now. Nice job!

Hi Moonligher,
Thanks for reading and commenting. I tried to keep the story true to the accounts and news reports from the time. (except they didn't mention the vampires)
It all started with a mug shot of Guillermo and just went from there.

About a year too late, but I finally caught up with these through your profile-links!
Wow, there's so much more to Guillermo than meets the eye! I found it very endearing that he went to see Mick.
I had to google for the background (and your story made it interesting enough for me to want to!). Very cool. I shall now skip off to part II to review- read them in one go!

Hi
Tam,
It is
never too late to drop in and comment. And it is always appreciated!
Isn’t Guillermo something? You really do have to watch out for the quiet ones. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.

I've missed some of the older challenge stories. I really like this look into Guillermo's past. What a horrible experience he endured but he has long outlived his counterparts.

Fabulous glimpse into Guillermo's past!
Don't know why I made the assumption that Guillermo was younger than Mick, in vamp years. Maybe as he seemed to defer to him so often, but this gives us an entirely new backstory.
Thank you!
Jenna

Thank you, Nutmegger!
I love reading about how vampires were turned, and Guillermo is one of my favourite characters!
I really like how you flipped back and forth between the two settings.
This was a wonderful look at Mick and Guillermo's friendship.
Well done!

Jen - Glad you liked it. For some reason, Guillermo has this incredible earthy strength that comes through. As soon as I saw his mug shot it all fell into place.
Marigold - Thank you!
