He's going to get us killed--I know it.
SHELLY
The chapel's on a dead end.
(stops him)
If he's wrong--we're trapped.
ROB
(stares)
What other choice to we have?
SHELLY
The purser's office on main deck. It's like a fortress. They keep all the records there.
The door is solid steel. Even flood proof, I was told.
ROB
That's one deck down. We'll meet Collin and tell him.
We hear a faint wheezing behind them. Rob becomes alarmed.
ROB
He's coming.
They run down the stairs.
INT. MAIN DECK LOBBY
Rob and Shelly run across the main lobby. The vampire runs only yards behind. Shelly points out the purser's office. They bolt inside and shut the door. The vampire strikes the door roughly. It doesn't budge. It strikes it again. It still doesn't move.
INT. SAUNA ROOM
Rita paces the room while Davis sits in a desk chair and nervously taps his fingers on the sword that lie across his lap.
RITA
I wonder what happened to the others.
DAVIS
We won't find out anything until morning.
RITA
Do you think Max and Jett are dead?
DAVIS
(firm)
I don't know.
RITA
(fidgets)
I can't believe we closed the door on them.
DAVIS
We closed the door on that thing. They wouldn't have made it past it any
way. It was the right thing to do.
RITA
(nervous)
I need to use the bathroom.
Rita approaches the enclosed bathroom. She enters. Davis continues to tap his fingers.
INT. BATHROOM
Rita washes her hands then places her wet hands to her face. She looks at herself in the mirror and frowns. She removes some paper towels and dries her hands and face. We hear a hollow, metallic thump. Rita looks around with confusion. The panel opens in the ceiling without her knowledge. The vampire almost silently drops to the floor behind her. Rita turns. The vampire hisses, exposing bloodstained teeth. Rita attempts toe scream, but he's swiftly on top of her.
INT. SAUNA ROOM
Davis groans and stands. He twirls the sword with boredom and approaches the bathroom door.
DAVIS
Come on, Rita. I have to go.
There's no response. Davis taps on the door.
DAVIS
Rita--come on.
Davis opens the bathroom door.
INT. BATHROOM
Davis stands in the doorway. We see blood along the floor. The vampire kneels over Rita's sprawled body with a portion of her throat torn out. The vampire turns with blood down his chin and a killer look in his eyes. Davis appears terrified. He slams the door shut.
INT. SAUNA ROOM
Davis runs across the room to the blockade. He pushes frantically to move the heavy table. He looks back, but the door doesn't open. Davis pulls open the outer door and runs from the room.
