INT. VAMPIRE CLUB - NIGHT

Dark and smoky, CANDLES FLICKERING everywhere, industrial music pounding, writhing DANCERS. The walls have the appearance of stone and marble. Floors are made of large interlocking slate tiles. The booths and tables wood, in heavy baroque style. The bar is stone with a slate top while the chairs and barstools have heavy hand pounded rod iron work. Giving the room a MEDIEVAL CASTLE FEEL. As for the patrons, everyone is beautiful. Dressed in black and monochromatic hues, some with tattoo's, piercings, leather. Also a few very well dressed with obvious means and affluence.

In a back center booth DEIRDRE CONNERS,(45, long dark red (sanguine) color hair, hazel eyes) turns sliding an ENVELOPE, obviously FILLED WITH MONEY, to JOE(looks to be mid 20's is actually 67, tall,emo/punk meets Kojo) Who picks it up. Joe looks in the envelope, just a glance making sure the money is there. Deirdre extends her left forearm and wrist towards him. Touching Deirdre's arm, Joe slides closer.. then caressing her arm, intertwining it with his body, her wrist toward his mouth. Deirdre's head tilts back, eyes closed. Joe speaks into her wrist and glances up at Deirdre with an UNNATURAL GLEAM in his eyes.

JOE

Any second thoughts?

Deirdre

None, I want this.

Joe's FANGS flash. He OPENS is mouth to bite into Deirdre's wrist.

FREEZE mid bite.

INT. COFFEE SHOP- NIGHT

Subtitle- A few weeks earlier
SMALL hole in the wall CAFE'. DIMLY LIT with CAFE CANDLES flickering. LARGE FLUFFY LEATHER CHAIRS arranged around a GAS FIREPLACE. A few TABLES scattered around the middle of the room and a few LEATHER "LOVE SEATS" with LOW COFFEE TABLES strategically placed along the walls. BRICK FLOORS. Visiting art on the walls. Dee is waiting on one of the love seats in the back. She orders a CAPPUCCINO and a GLASS OF WATER. She has just started sipping her coffee.

DEIRDRE (O.S)

For now you need to know is some vampire basics. (exhale) First, there is nothing more basic then greed. An attribute. To both.. Human and vampire. There are good guys. Bad guys. Then there's the miscreants that will turn humans into vamps for a profit. They're generally young and need the money. Like Joe here.

Joe walks up.
