Cooper sits down, beer still in his hand. Such heavy talk was going to require alcohol. There is a flicker of amusement as he sees Jean-Claude pose. Between him and Thomas, they definitely have the stereotype of vampire vanity down. A look of relief crosses Cooper's face when he mentions Harris. Now it's all out in the open. No going back. "Glad t'see we're on the same page," Cooper says. "He's gonna run this nest right into the ground within six months if not sooner. Something has to be done."

Cooper was hoping the older vampire would have a better solution than just killing him. That would just be messy and leave them right back in the void where they had been after Millicent had bit the dust. Cooper knew how to deal with a hostile takeover without getting blood all over the place. But he wanted to see what JC's thoughts on the matter were first.
