You see Salomie fall back onto the ground, looking shocked and scared. She has a stake in her hand, but does not know how to use it. The camera moves to show a vampire above her, smiling. The vampire is pushed away and it reveals Sam behind it. Sam extends her hand and Salomie grabs it. Sam pulls her up.

Sam: It's not over yet.
Sam turns to the vamp who punches her back.
Salomie: So, how does thing die.
Sam: (out of breath) You had to ask now.
The vampire punches Sam once more.
Sam: Stake him, dammit!
Salomie: What?
The vampire turns to Salomie, whose eyes are wide open. The vampire's teeth show and extend even longer. Salomie pushes her arm with the stake to the vamp and it plunges through his skin. The vampire smiles and slides out the stake, snatching it from Salomie. Salomie is shocked. The vampire punches Salomie to the ground as well.
Sam: (while getting up) The heart! Stake him in the heart!
Salomie is just lying on the ground in shock. Sam kicks the vamp and then punches it, but the vampire pushes her into a tombstone. She gets up and punches but the vamp ducks.

Sam: I was showing the newbie the ropes.
Salomie: (getting up) Hey, it's my first vampire!
Intank: Not really.
Sam: We saved you from one.
Salomie: Yes, but I wasn't trying to kill it last time.
Intank: Whatever you say.
Salomie: (smiling) Give me a break, guys.
Sam: Why you smiling?
Salomie: Cause it's exciting! It's so weird, having a whole new world opened up to you. I mean, I never had a demon friend before!
Intank: (seriously) You still don't.
Sam: He's not very friendly in general.
Salomie: Got it.
They start walking.
Salomie: So, why didn't Graham and Riley come with?
Sam: They had some unfinished business to finish up.
Salomie: What exactly does that mean?
Sam and Intank just look at Salomie.
Salomie: Evil? Big nasty?
Intank: More like bartender nasty. He set us up.
Salomie: Ah. That's not good.
Sam: Well, that's why they're there. To kick his sorry little ass.
Salomie: Mama like.
Sam laughs but Intank just smiles at Salomie.
Salomie: What are you staring at?
Intank: Your sorry little ass.
Salomie: Was your first slaying like this?
Intank: I'm a demon. It came much more naturally.
Salomie: I meant Sam.
Sam: Well, no. I did have a bunch of military soldiers around me so I wasn't scared.
Salomie: (joking) I wasn't scared.
Intank: Very convincing. Work on that and you've got it down.
Sam: Well, what about you?
Salomie: Me?
Sam: You know all about us. We know you're a student at LaintanUniversity. That's it. Who are you?
Salomie: (smiling) Well, I'm very complex.
Intank: Many layers to uncover, yes?
