[TUNNELS]

[The Praetor Lupus is on the hunt for Heidi in dark underground tunnels. Jordan is leading the group.]

JORDAN: Heidi cannot run forever. Even vampires tire. Okay, you four, cover the exits. Nick and I will flush her out. Stay sharp, stay smart. Stay in control. Let's go.

Everyone looks nervous.

[Jordan and Nick go in one direction, searching with flashlights.]

NICK: Capture, not kill? Come on, Jordan.

"What is he thinking?" asked Laina "They already had her in custody once, and that didn't turn out well"

"I don't know" said Maia honestly.

JORDAN: You are not winning this one, so save your energy.

NICK: I'm just saying. We had her in custody once. How'd that work out?

A few people chuckled.

JORDAN: Praetor Scott put me in charge, so follow my orders. We're on two feet, not four.

NICK: That's your thing. Look, I get it. I was there when you first came in. You scratched your girlfriend. [Jordan jumps over the tracks, shining his flashlight on a body]

"Oh my god" gasped Molly.

NICK: Damn it, Jordan. That's it. Enough is enough. I'm taking her down.

[Nick walks a few steps back, drops his flashlight and starts transforming into a wolf.]

JORDAN: Nick. Get a hold of yourself.

[Nick grunts as he transforms. Once he is a wolf, he starts running further into the tunnels, knocking over trashcans in the process.]

JORDAN: Nick! Nick!

[Jordan runs after him. Cut to Nick as a wolf standing still. Suddenly, a weapon is thrown right at him. Nick growls and yelps. He transforms back into a human as Heidi approaches him. Heidi kneels by him and pulls out her dagger. Jordan has appeared on the scene.]

"Oh my god" said Ginny.

"Is that sterling silver?" Maia asked Luke.

"I think so" said Luke.

"Poor guy" said Remus sympathetically.

JORDAN: Nick! Nick! Nick!

HEIDI: You can't blame a girl for defending herself. [kneeling down by Nick when Jordan comes closer] Pure sterling silver. Drop the stake, or I finish him off.

"I truly hate her" snarled Maia.

"Don't we all" said Luke.

[Jordan drops the stake eventually.]

JORDAN: You have to stop this.

HEIDI: It's not my fault that bad things keep happening to me.

"Not her fault" scoffed Simon.

JORDAN: It is your fault, Heidi. Nick, the mundanes you killed, Simon.

[Heidi rises.]

HEIDI: I was trying to help Simon.

"If that is what she thinks help is, I don't want her help" said Simon angrily.

JORDAN: That is not how help works.
