SELENE storms into the mansion, bitchslaps Kraven and strides over to Kahn, before slamming a gun full of UV ammo on the table.

SELENE: We have a serious problem.

KAHN: Speak for yourself.

ERIKA: Ooo, glowing blue bullets. Pretty...

KAHN: What?! Notices UV ammo Crap. What next, a den full of Lycans?

SELENE: Actually, now that you mention it...

KRAVEN: with a HUGE black eye What is going on here?

SELENE: There's a den of lycans in the sewers. Dozens, maybe even hundreds.

KRAVEN: Don't be ridiculous. There hasn't been a den of that magnitude since the days of Lucien.

SELENE: has sudden coughing fit. I want to lead a team down there to investigate it.

KRAVEN: NO! ABSOLUTELY NO! notices everyone staring at him Soren will handle it. You take this 'warrior' business far too seriously. Come and have a drink.

SELENE bitchslaps him again. He swoons over her even more. ERIKA hurries over to her and starts to tend to his smashed up face.

ERIKA: smirks I would never do that to you...

SELENE: mutters Viktor wouldn't stand for this!

Exit SELENE.

KRAVEN: (whose face is still smashed up badly) Erika, find Selene and get her ready for tonight's reception. And hurry; Amelia's envoy is arriving as we speak.

KRAVEN hurries off. ERIKA gazes at him fixatedly.

ERIKA: (to the tune of "Mea Culpa" by Enigma:)

Mea culpa

Je ne dors plus.

Les temps sont venus.

Je te desire

Les temps sont venus.

Prends moi
Je suis a toi
Mea culpa

Je veux aller au bout de me fantasmes
Je sais que c'est interdit
Je suis folle. Je m'abandonne

Je suis la et ailleurs
Je n'ai plus rien
Je deviens folle
Je m'abandonne

Je ne dors plus
Je te desire
Prends moi
Je suis a toi

Je suis la et ailleurs
Je veux tout
Quand tu veux

EXIT ERIKA
