CAMMEO:

HERITA:

CAMMEO:

Right. Sorry. Where have you been?

HERITA:

CAMMEO:

Actually I would. You see I thought… well, 

so much has happened. I really must catch you up.

JESSE:

CAMMEO:

HERITA:

CAMMEO:

You were with him all night, werent you?

JESSE:

CAMMEO:

There's no need to be vulgar.

JESSE:

What? No, it wasn't like that. Jeez ...

HERITA:

We got stuck. ‘is bleedin' bike wouldn't start.

JESSE:

For the last time, it ran out of gas.

HERITA:

’n I'm supposed to believe that!

JESSE:

HERITA:

No ya didn't. It was Es that lent us 'er car - and only

after we 'ad to walk all the way back to the pub.

JESSE:

It wasn't that long a walk.

HERITA:

Tell that to me aching feet. And look at all the mosquito 

bites I got because of the likes of you.

JESSE:

Yeah, I sent for those mosquitos just for you.

CAMMEO:

Pardon me – but there’s something you really ought to know.

HERITA:

…’n then we get into the car and 'e wants to go joy ridin'. Drives like a 

maniac 'e does. 'ad the coppers on us in no time.

JESSE:

They only gave me a warning. You make it sound like they 

hauled us off to jail.

HERITA:

Ruined me whole evenin' ya did.

JESSE:

Hey - it was your idea to go in the first place. And then we get there,

and all ya did was stare at Es. What's up with that - huh?

VANNI:

Jesse! Where have you been?

JESSE:

Oh great, you're not gonna start on me now too. Look, I’m tired and …

VANNI:

Cammeo, you haven't told them?

CAMMEO:
They haven't given me much of a chance.

JESSE:

What? Did we miss something?

JESSE:

Holy sh … Neve - where is she? Is she OK?

CAMMEO:

Poor little thing was scared to death.

VANNI:

Syrrah gave her something to calm her down, but she's been asking

for you. I've been calling and texting you. 

JESSE:

Oh that - uh my phone's on the fritz.

HERITA:

I'll say. 'e dropped it in the loo - and then he fished it out.

JESSE:

Will you just shut up!

VANNI:
That's enough. Jesse, Neve's waiting for you. Let's go.

JESSE:

Yes, coming. Hey sorry about Zyfan. Does this mean he's a vampire now?

CAMMEO:

No, that's not how it's done.

JESSE:

Oh, good.

Vanni and Jesse leave.

HERITA:

So Zyfan was bitten by a vampire, and on your turf.

Whatcha gonna do about it?

HERITA:

Right. Well, ya can’t do much till sunset. I need a lie down, but I'll be 

up in time to make dinner and ‘elp ya carve up some stakes.
