Brethren - page 91-94

Robert blinks and frowns.

Mina looks shocked. Thom looks confused.

ROBERT
Are you certain, Vladimir?

VLAD
Yes, I challenge him for the reason
of poor leadership.

ROBERT
You realize you cannot defeat
Grigorov.

VLAD
Let me worry about that. Now where
is he?

ROBERT
Very well, he is currently in the
convention center, in the north
hall. He will be expecting you.

Vlad nods and turns away from Robert.

Mina runs up to Vlad.

MINA
What are you doing? You will be
killed!

VLAD
If I do not, we will all be killed.
The vampire nations are nothing
compared to the might of the world.

Mina grabs Vlad and sobs into his shoulder.

Vlad holds Mina.

THOM
We have to go.

Vlad nods to Thom. Vlad detaches himself from Mina.

VLAD
I will see you soon with our son.

Vlad turns and moves to the elevator, followed by Thom.

Vlad looks out the elevator and makes eye contact with Mina.

The doors close in front of Vlad and Thom.



EXT. STORAGE YARD - NIGHT

Thom drives Vlad into a storage yard.



INT. STORAGE UNIT - NIGHT

Thom and Vlad stand outside a storage unit. Thom enters a
code into a keypad.

The door opens, revealing a second door.

Thom slides a keycard into a slot. The second door opens,
revealing an armory, filled with guns and tactical gear.

Thom grabs a bulletproof vest and hands it to Vlad.

Thom and Vlad put on bulletproof vests.

THOM
You don't actually need a wooden
stake to kill vampires,do you?

VLAD
Only vampire lords, but bullets
will still mess them up pretty
good. Why?

Thom hands Vlad a box labeled, "Armor-piercing slugs."



INT/EXT. STORAGE YARD - NIGHT

Thom and Vlad, now dressed in tactical gear and armed to the
teeth, walk out into the storage yard parking lot. Vlad
wears an open burka over his tactical gear. Jackson waits in
an SUV near Thom's car.

Vlad walks to Thom's car while Thom moves to the SUV.

THOM
Good luck.

VLAD
I'm trusting my born enemy with the
safety of my son while I attack an
invincible enemy. I need way more
than luck.

JACKSON
Hey, we fight hard, we make out own
luck. I've seen you do it before,
so let's get the job done.

Thom and Vlad nod.

Thom jumps into Jackson's SUV.

Thom and Jackson wave to Vlad as they drive off.

Vlad slaps the back of Jackson's SUV.

Vlad takes a deep breath and grits his teeth. Then he throws
his hood over his head.



INT/EXT. CITY STREETS - NIGHT

Jackson's SUV drives down a street.

Vlad drives Thom's car down another street.

The sun rises, just cracking the horizon.



INT. CONVENTION CENTER - DAY

Grigorov stands in the middle of the convention hall. There
is a cell phone ring.

Grigorov answers his phone.

GRIGOROV
Yes.

Grigorov paces about with his phone on his ear. On the
ground sit several empty ceramic jars with drips of blood
down their sides.

GRIGOROV
I have more important things on my
agenda. He is merely an annoyance.

Grigorov closes his phone.

Grigorov holds a syringe dart filled with a blood.

Grigorov loads the dart into a gun.

Grigorov moves to a vampire, wearing a burka, and hands him
the gun.

Grigorov continues moving through the convention hall,
passing a number of burka-clad vampires holding guns.

A vampire fills a gun with compressed air from a tank.

A mass of gun-wielding humans, including Lindsey, fill the
hall.

Grigorov smiles.
