Gwen sighed as she watched the screen in front of her.
"I just can't get my head around this." She said morosely, "It just doesn't make sense."
"What's the matter?" asked Tosh from her desk. "Anything I can help you with?"
Gwen pondered for a moment. "Well, think about everything we've seen – Weevils ripping people's throats out, death by alien orgasm… that whole business with Suzie and the glove. Abadon. All these horrible things that we deal with, day after day…" Gwen's voice trailed off.
"Anyway," Gwen recollected herself and continued, "when you think about it, we see some pretty gruesome stuff, don't we?"
"Terrifying." Tosh agreed as she sat down next to Gwen and looked at the monitor. "So, what is this anyway?"
Gwen looked slightly embarrassed. "Actually it's a vampire movie Rhys asked me to return for him. I thought I'd have a quick look first."
"Ok, so what's the problem then?" Tosh asked.
"Well, I know we've not come across any vampires since I joined Torchwood, so I wouldn't really know, but…"
"Yes." Tosh encouraged gently.
"Well, I can't help thinking… what self respecting vampire would spill that much blood?!" Gwen exclaimed.
Tosh stifled a giggle as she raised an eyebrow at Gwen. "That's what this is all about?" she asked. "You're having a hard time with the details of a bad horror movie?"
Gwen looked at Tosh and then she laughed sheepishly. "You're right of course, there's better things to worry about. Come on, let's go find some real scary stuff to do!"
