Heads and eyes looking

  at the floor of the elevator shaft.  A grown up asked, "Is that the body?" 

  Suits coming up stairs and down the hallway. 

  One kid said to another, "Maybe that wasn't the Vampire." 

  "No, it was.  Had the black robe." 

  More heads and eyes looking down the shaft.  A whack on a muscled arm, means they went up. 

  "I'll call it in." 

  "Come on." A tug on a tie. 

  A quick crack open of a stairwell door.  And a firecracker tossed.  "Idiot 

  "Jesus! Whaddya do that for?" 

  A shoe used to prop the door open again.  Smoke clearing.  Dressed to the nines fancy high heel shoes.  Shredded clothing.  "They went up there," a man called in from back pressed against the hallway wall.  "Yeah." Came a lady's voice as smoke came out of her mouth.  "That's why we came down."  

  "Karen!  You look torched." A fancy dressed man in a coverup went to squeeze her arms together but quickly stopped himself and crossed his arms.  "Are you hurt?" 

  "WHAT'S HE ASKING ME?"
