"His family in Barnet is concerned about him." Without knowing how much the man knows about the situation -- without being sure what he is -- it's hard to decide how much to divulge. Yet, the description matches, save the teeth. Still, maybe when a vampire dies, their enlarged canines blend in? He doesn't know enough about that world to be sure. "He's one of a few who've gone missing, and I told them I'd look into it."

So when whispers had reached him about a young man found where Cooper had smelled the lingering scent of a fellow vampire? He'd known he had to check it out.

"I'd like to know cause of death. I'm not here to interfere in your autopsy or anything of the kind. I just want a few answers for the family."

Thoroughly avoiding the question? Just a bit, really.
