Episode 8, Chpt 1

*Ok, so yeah, I'm using a vampire/vampires in this episode...didn't think I'd do one but I was outta stuff I could think of. If anyone has suggestions for a new villain please let me know, I could use help.
Takes place several weeks after the last episode.

A young blonde-haired woman walks through the alley alone at night, just leaving work. She walks for a moment, then slows down to
look through her purse. In the dark passage between buildings, the figure of a man stands in the shadows watching her without her knowing. She stops, looks through her purse and continues through the alley. The man follows behind her. She stops, then turns around.

"What do you want?" she asked, nervous.

"I've been watching you."

As the man stepped closer, she pulled out a pocket knife from her purse.

"Don't come any closer." she said.

"I can't do that." he replied. He didn't want to take the time to turn her in the middle of the alley, but he quickly hit her with a tranquilizer. He was about to pick her up when he felt someone was behind him. The woman looked up, not quite unconcious yet, and whispered to the new person behind the man.

"Run."

"Sorry, not my style." said Elizabeth.

The man dropped the girl back to the ground. He stood up, ready to go after Elizabeth. As he did, he then noticed someone else, and turned around to see Jaimie on the other side of him.

"Not a good night to be a vampire." said Jaimie, with newfound confidence.

He rushed at Elizabeth, who quickly defended herself. He then seemed to overpower her, but Jaime then attacked him from behind. Elizabeth got herself together, swung the vampire around, and hit him in the face with the hand not holding the large knife.

All of a sudden Jaimie yells at Elizabeth.

"What are you doing?"

Elizabeth ignored her...and continued fighting the vampire. Jaimie protested again though.

"You said I could have this one." she said.

"Right, like there aren't enough creeps in this city." Elizabeth answered, looking at Jaimie. The vampire used that brief moment to escape. Elizabeth turned around and he was gone.

"Nice one Jaimie, now he's gone."

Jaimie just glared at her...

Motel, Same night.

"So, can you figure out where he's hiding quickly please. I got the girl home safe, but he'll go after somebody again soon enough." Elizabeth said to Sam.

"I'm on it. Relax Liz, like I don't know what I'm doing.' Sam laughed.

"Right, sorry. I should probably go put the word out to Gibson, tell him there are some nasty vamps on the loose."

As she said this, her phone went off.

"It's Reese." she announced, and read the message. "He's down on 86th and Vermont. Needs me to come meet him."

"Well I'll go talk to Gibson." Jaimie said. "That much, I can do on my own." Jaimie proceded to go out the door.

As the door closed behind her, Elizabeth turned to Sam.

"I thought having a sidekick would make things easier."

Sam just gave her a look, he started to say something than decided against it. Elizabeth then turned to the door and walked out.

Elizabeth's Apartment, Exercise Complex.

She'd been to see Reese, and another girl had gone missing. Elizabeth didn't know if it was the same vampire, or another one. She walked into the exercise room to see Jaimie punching the bag in front of her.

"Hey! Did you talk to Gibson?" Elizabeth asked.

"No, I played pool." Jaimie responded sarcastically.

Elizabeth ignored her response and continued. "What did he say?"

"That a hunter like me should run and hide!" Jaimie shouted out between hits.

"Jaime!"

She stopped hitting the punching bag.

"He put the word out, okay."

"Look, I know you've gotten better." said Elizabeth.

"I'm good, but you don't recognize that do you?"

"Okay, so you're good."

Jaimie didn't stop there though. "In fact, I could probably fight you."

"Right. Whatever you say." Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

"Seriously, I've got a decent shot."

"Thats where you're wrong Jaimie, you don't know you're limitations."

"Than test my limitations."

"Ugh, I don't have time for this."

"You scared?" Jaimie asked.

"Are you kidding?" Elizabeth looked reached for her earring as she heard Sam over the comm link. "Yeah, I'm on my way up." She then turned to Jaimie. "Why don't you go rent Rocky. Let this go."

Elizabeth turned around and left the room.

Elizabeth's Apartment

Sam had just gotten back with a few more leads. Seemed like the most abductions had been at the spot where Elizabeth and Jaimie had saw the guy earlier.

"I'm going to go back to where I lost him." said Elizabeth. "See if I can't figure out where he's hiding them, if they haven't already been turned or killed."

"Wait, I'll get Jaimie to go with you." said Sam.

"Uh..I actually want to do this one solo right now."

"What?"

"Look Sam, this guys targeting blonde women...he'll be after Jaimie more than me."

"You're hunting him down, we all are. He'll be after you too."

"I know but..." Elizabeth started.

"You can't shelter her forever." Sam interrupted.

"Just this once, all right?"

"All right, fine. Just be careful."

"Thanks."
