That reasoning is sound to me. I had no real reason to suspect Mr. Sonic. I vote for Mr. Nick also.

So to clarify, who are you voting for?

We are voting for my death.

I think Abby hits the nail on the head. I vote for Nick.

As much as I hate to think of condemning an innocent man, the choice is between me or him and I know I'm human. That's the one thing I AM sure about. I too will vote for Nick.

No hard feelings of course. I'm sure you understand.

"Then it's settled." Nick said with an unusual calm.

"Can't believe you'd wanna commit suicide." Lazar said "You must be on the catnip, Mr. Cat Burglar."

Dr. Glitch said, "I guess I'll have to do it.", and he reached for the revolver.

"No need." Nick said as he deftly pulled the pistol from the waistband of his pants. Eyes widened around the room as nobody had seen him take the weapon earlier. With a mysterious smile, the internationally infamous criminal pressed the barrel to his head and squeezed the trigger.

The shot echoed throughout the room as Nick's head was snapped sideways from the force of the blast. Instantly, the matter sprayed from his head incinerated as his falling body quickly crumbled into ash.

Looking at the remains on the floor, Lady Foxx in a most undignified manner asked "What the f***?"

DAYBREAK

Lady Foxx made her way down the hallway. Her feet were bare, the only sound the soft rustle of her silk nightgown. She was terrified, but determined. Her destination was the room where Dr. Abby Shaw slept.

"I know she's the vampire, I just have to find proof."

She eased the door open and slipped inside. Looking over at the bed, she paused, something seemed odd about the way Abby was positioned in the bed and she approached carefully. Her eyes took in the still form, the paler than pale skin and lastly, two dark puncture marks on her neck.

Lady Foxx backed away from the bed, looking around frantically to be sure no dark figure was around. She covered her mouth in an attempt the block the scream that was coming, she did not want to be seen in her nightgown with her hair unbrushed! It was a futile attempt, the scream came out, a high pitched shriek that seemed to echo off the walls and down the hallways through the house. She turned to flee the room.

Dr. Glitch was awoken by the scream and the sound of running feet. "What the hell is going on now?" he thought to himself. He grabbed his cane and limped to the door, opening it just in time to catch a glimpse of someone fleeing down the hall. Sparing a look, he realized it was Lady Foxx, sparing her another, more intent look, he realized she was in her nightgown with unkempt hair. He shook his head to clear it, then noticed she had to have run from Abby's room. He entered her room to see her body lying there, in an eye catching pose -- in a grisly kind of way. "Aw f*ck " he murmured to himself. He exited the room intent on getting a drink and shouted for the rest, "Lazar! Foxxy Lady! Get down here!

Anthony Lazar walks calmly down the stairs, unfazed by the commotion. His eyes linger on Lady Foxx's figure for a few moments; then he turns to Dr. Glitch. "Let me guess, our friend has struck again?" He enters the room to examine the body.

Good guess.

So what do we do? We know it has to be one of us, who wants to start pointing fingers?

** Lady Foxx stands with her back to the wall, looking at each man warily. **

I do not want to be first. My track record in suspicion has not been good as of late. Dr. Glitch, would you mind handing me that bottle?

It has to be one of you.

[hands Lady Foxx the bottle] Well there you go. And based on no more than some sort of gut guess, I confess to be slightly suspicious of Lazar...

**Taking the bottle from Dr. Glitch, Lady Foxx takes a long drink**

I am afraid Mr. Lazer, that I agree with Dr. Glitch. You seem to be a little different lately.

**Takes another long drink and hands bottle back to Dr. Glitch**
