INT. INDUSTRIAL BUILDING - DAY

Danny sits tied up in a chair inside a back room. The masked
Spokesman and several other henchmen stand around the room.

Outside the back room, past a hallway and around a corner,
several henchmen play cards at a table in a large room.

A few rays of sunlight enter the large room.

Danny's eyes dart around the room.

A henchman sneers at Danny.

HENCHMAN
Need some sun, bloodsucker? I
think you could use a little tan.

Danny seems nervous.



INT/EXT. CITY STREETS - DAY

Thom, dressed in tactical gear, sits inside a truck.

Thom places a cigarette into his mouth.

Thom looks out the window and nods.

Jackson's SUV sits next to Thom's car. Jackson looks out his
passenger side window and nods.

Jackson lifts an cellphone and presses a button.

Thom drives off.



INT. INDUSTRIAL BUILDING - DAY

The Spokesman and henchmen surround Danny as before. There
is a cell phone ring.

The Spokesman's face lights up as he answers his cell phone.

SPOKESMAN
Hello, sir, any word from the
bloodsuckers.

Everyone in the room turns to the Spokesman.

SPOKESMAN
Hello? I can't hear you.

The Spokesman looks at his phone.

SPOKESMAN
Hello?

Suddenly, Thom's truck crashes through the front door.

Henchmen dives about as Thom's truck smashes through
furniture and shatters glass.

Thom's truck trails debris throughout the room and it comes
to a crashing halt against a wall.

Henchmen scramble and pick up their guns.

Thom, smoking a cigarette, jumps out of the truck and fires a
sub-machine gun.

Several henchmen are cut down by gunfire.

A henchman fires a shotgun and hits Thom, knocking him to the
ground.

Thom, now bloodied, rolls and takes cover behind his truck.

Henchmen take cover and aim at Thom's truck.

Thom inhales his cigarette. Some of the wounds on Thom's
body heal.

Thom, wearing fangs in his mouth, bursts around the corner of
his truck, firing his sub-machine gun.

Several henchmen are shot down. Others dive for cover.

The Spokesman hides behind a wall.

SPOKESMAN
Damn vampire regeneration. Get the
lamps.

Several henchman turn and run into a room containing
floodlamps.

In the front room, Thom runs in a zig-zag manner through a
hail of gunfire.

Thom fires, mowing down a henchman.

Thom takes cover behind some fallen furniture.

As gunfire surrounds him, Thom puts a cigarette into his
mouth. A small flame comes out of Thom's finger, lighting
his cigarette.

Thom looks at the flame out of his finger and smiles.

Thom jumps out from his cover and fires a shotgun.

SPOKESMAN
Now!

Henchmen raise floodlights and shine bright lights at Thom.

Thom blinks his eyes a few times.

The Henchmen seem confused.

Thom fires his shotgun, shattering a floodlight and knocking
a henchman to the ground.

The Spokesman and a few henchman retreat back in the hallway.

The Spokesman runs to a gothically decorated treaty scepter
case.

Thom, bloodied and wielding a shotgun, turns into the
hallway.

Thom creeps through the hallway, looking from side to side.

Thom turns into a room, but sees nothing.

Thom creeps further down the hallway.

Thom turns down a hallway, where a henchman cowers on the
ground.

HENCHMAN
Don't shoot, don't shoot.

Thom relaxes a bit.

THOM
Turn around and put your hands on
the wall.

The henchman stands.

SPOKESMAN
I don't think so, bloodsucker.

The Spokesman stands down the hallway holding the Treaty
Scepter.

A wave of fire shoots out of the treaty scepter, engulfing
Thom.

The Spokesman and Henchmen smirk.

The wave of fire surrounds Thom, but he stands in place.

The Spokesman seems taken aback.

Thom extends his hand.

The wave of fire rockets in every direction.



EXT. INDUSTRIAL BUILDING - DAY

All the windows in a small industrial building blow outwards
followed by a small wave of fire.



INT. INDUSTRIAL BUILDING - DAY

Thom, now singed, walks through a burned hallway.

Thom steps over a few bodies.

The Treaty Scepter lays on the floor of the hallway.

Thom picks up the Treaty Scepter and tucks it into his belt.

Thom walks to the end of the hall and opens a door. Inside,
Danny sits tied in a chair.

Danny's eyes light up.

THOM
You dad asked me to take you home.

Suddenly, a shotgun blast knocks Thom off his feet.

Down the hall, a singed Spokesman sits with a smoking shotgun
in his hands.

The Spokesman struggles to his feet and pulls off his smoking
mask, revealing him to be Coach Rupalo.

Coach Rupalo fires a few more times, pumping rounds into
Thom.

Thom writhes on the ground.

COACH RUPALO
I don't know how you're not dead,
but I'm going to make sure you
fail.

Coach Rupalo tosses his shotgun aside. He reaches down and
picks up a floodlamp.

COACH RUPALO
Sorry, kid, if you can't walk in
the sun, you shouldn't be playing
on the court.

Coach Rupalo shines the floodlamp at Danny.

The light shines in Danny's face. Danny squints his eyes and
turns away from the light.

Coach Rupalo looks confused and switches the light on and off
a few times.

Danny blinks and squints.

Coach Rupalo throws the floodlamp aside and draws a pistol.

COACH RUPALO
Alright, let's see if you're
bulletproof.

Suddenly, a blast of fire knocks Coach Rupalo across the
room.

Thom, covered in flames, lays on the floor across the room.

The flames surrounding Thom subside. Thom holds the Treaty
Scepter in his hand.

Thom, now with severely burned clothes but looking healthy,
hops to his feet.

Across the room, Coach Rupalo's body smoulders.

THOM
Good thing he doesn't know that
vampire kids mature at 13.

Thom walks behind Danny and cuts the ropes with a knife.

Danny jumps out of his chair and hugs Thom tightly.

THOM
Ahhh, thank you, but come on, we
need to go help your dad.
