Again, my apologies for dropping the ball here. I'm so happy you all have picked it up and ran with it yourselves.
The good samaritan, has wandered into a convenient store, unable to satisfy his new hunger. The store clerk hears him and investigates.
The clerk brings a bat and confronts the new vamp who is angry. He strikes out and scratches the clerk.
And quickly realizes exactly what he is hungry for.
Later, Beth is at the store covering the story. She listens in on Lt. Carl trying to score some info.
She's caught and tries to get Carl to tell her what is going on. He tells her that not only was the guy malled but all his blood had been drained. Oh my.
Mick was called down to the morgue by Guillermo. Looks like Mick is not a big fan of texting and lets G know it. (Come on Mick, texting is quieter than a phone call - never know when someone will be listening.)
G wants Mick to see this new body that came in. They don't get too many vampire casualties at the morgue.
Mick does his sniffing thing and figures the vamp to be a newly Turned which prompts the question - where is the sire? Mick and Guillermo discuss what it felt like when they were Turned.
Their discussion is interrupted by a visitor. What a surprise! It's Beth.
Mick steps out and isn't happy. He wants to know what she is doing there. She shares what she knows about the victim and Mick becomes defensive - telling her that 'whatever' did this was nothing like him. Pfft. As if Beth would have thought that. Mick tells Beth he wants her off the case. Okay, even I laughed at that.
He says it's dangerous. She tells him that she doesn't need his permission and, as for it being dangerous, that's what she's got him around for. Way to go, Beth! And, you guessed it, the vamp caves.
Mick asks Beth if she still wants to know how someone becomes a vampire. Oh yeah, me too. Apparently, you have to reach a point near death, then the vampire, your sire, feeds you their blood. Beth asks about the sire/new vamp relationship and Mick explains it's just like all relationships, it can go many different ways - some good, some not.
Obviously, this new vampire's sire wasn't doing a great job. Beth is hyped. She's going to check and see if there are any other recent death's like this one. She wants Mick to ask the 'other vampires' if they know anything. TeeHee, silly Beth. Mick tells her it's not like there is a big club where they all hang out. She finds that funny.
Beth hands out the tasks. She'll deal with the cops and computers, the vamp stuff is Mick's deal.
Looks like our Boy is hooked but good.
