FADE IN:
SCENE 1 INT. – NIGHT (CONTROL ROOM)
(SIMON, MARTIN)
SIMON AND MARTIN ARE BOTH SECURITY GUARDS WORKING FOR MOYSTON SECURITY GUARDING A BUILDING SITE IN WHITBY, NORTH YORKSHIRE.
THEY ARE IN THE CONTROL ROOM JUST ABOUT TO START A SHIFT AS THE REST OF THE BUILDERS AND ADMIN STAFF JUST LEAVE.
SIMON
TO LAST TWO ADMIN STAFF LEAVING THE PORTAKABIN.
Night then. See you tomorrow.
CLOSES THE DOOR AND TAKES HAT OFF
Right Martin, have you brought the cards?
MARTIN
Of course. I'm feeling lucky tonight. I've got my new pants on.
SIMON
You'll need more than pants if you want to win any of my money. Are the gates shut?
MARTIN
Tony's doing it!
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CABIN DOOR OPENS AND IN RUSHES TONY, ANOTHER MAN IN HIS LATE 30'S.
TONY SLAMS THE DOOR SHUT AND LOCKS ALL THE DOORS AND CHECKS THE WINDOWS, FOLLWOED BY SWITCHING ON THE LIGHTS AND PULLING THE BLINDS DOWN.
Talk of the devil!
TONY
ACTING NERVOUSLY
Devil, where?
MARTIN
It's a metaphor.
TONY
It's a matter for who?
SIMON
Tony?
TONY
Yes, Simon
SIMON
Shut up!
MARTIN
Anyway, why are you acting so…Tony!
TONY
They're out there.
MARTIN
Who are?
TONY
I've told you. They are!
SIMON
What Martin means is, what the f**k are you going on about you bee brained psychopath!
TONY
I take exception to that!
SIMON
I take exception for your very existence. Now pull yourself together and tell us what's blown under your blouse.
TONY
CHECKS OVER HIS SHOULDER AND DRAWS THE OTHER TWO IN CLOSE.
WHISPERING.
Vampires.
BOTH SIMON AND MARTIN LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND STAND BACK AMAZED AT TONY'S OUTLANDISH STATEMENT.
MARTIN
Vampires?
TONY
Yes, I saw them. Two of them there were, with big black capes and shiny white teeth.
SIMON
Are you sure you didn't look in a mirror?
TONY
I'm serious. They're out there. You've got to believe me.
SIMON
Why?
TONY
They prey on the weak, vulnerable and innocent
SIMON
I can see why you're nervous.
TONY
GRIPS SIMON'S ARM.
Help me Simon. I don't want to be one of the undead.
SIMON
If you don't let go of my arm you soon will be.
TONY
LETS GO OF HIS GRIP.
Sorry Simon.
MARTIN
You don't really believe that there are vampires out there, do you Tony?
TONY
Why shouldn't I?
MARTIN
Well mainly because, they don't exist!
TONY
But I saw them. They were both getting in a large transit van.
SIMON
Oh my God. Look, you tit. Where are we?
TONY
LOOKS CONFUSED
In a portakabin?
SIMON
Yes, I'll give you that Sherlock, but where exactly is the portakabin?
TONY
Here?
MARTIN
What Simon is painstakingly trying to tell you, is that we're in Whitby.
TONY
And?
MARTIN
Whitby is associated with Dracula…
TONY
See, I told you. Vampires!
SIMON
…which makes this Gotham City. A mecca for the pale skinned masses.
TONY
So what you're telling me, is that those vampires in the van were not vampires but Goth's?
SIMON
Yes
MARTIN
Yes
TONY
A MOMENT OF RELIEF AND CLARITY.
Well that makes more sense, doesn't it.
MARTIN
Good, I'm glad that's sorted.
TONY
I mean, what would two vampires want with all those power tools?
SIMON AND MARTIN LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND THEN TONY AND THEN THE CCTV, WHICH WE SEE ANOTHER TRANSIT VAN BEING LOADED UP BY GOTH-TYPES.
Work in progress....
