RIGGS, VANCE and a squad of soldiers arrive outside an old high-rise apartment building in the abandoned district. They step out of the van and meet up with LT. BRAND (KEITH DAVID). BRAND catches them up to speed.
"A whole cabal. Don't know exactly how many; some say less than five, some say they saw more than a dozen. We've already lost at least one team. No survivors."
"Damn shame."
"This Riggs? I assume he's been informed?"
"As much as one can be. Riggs here killed one with his bare hands, by himself. Torched the bastard to finish the job."
"Good. They're vulnerable to fire. Unfortunately, not much can be done with this building the way it is; you try to torch the place and it'll all go up in smoke."
"Why do we care? Vance never cared about collaterals."
"That was then, Riggs. This is now. We're fighting a different war. On this one, we can't compromise civilian casualties."
"Oh yeah? Why not?"
"They feed, Riggs. They feed off people. Casualties happen and they'll just get stronger, they'll multiply. And no one wants that."
"Enough talk. We gotta go in 'now,' Captain."

"They're coming! They're everywhere! Fuck!"
A soldier is eaten.
Another taken down.
They break the barricades.
VANCE, RIGGS and BRAND are the only ones left.
"You take the left, I'll handle the windows. Brand, you head up the rear."
"Roger."
Shotgun blasts. Machine gun fire. The monsters eyes and mouths are like fire. Their breath like lava. They're deadly, alright.
RIGGS hears a scream. It's from the floor above. The monsters are clear but still coming. They have to save the girl.
"I'm going up!"
"Not yet! We still need you!"
"I'M GOING UP, GOD DAMN IT!"
He approaches the door. "Are you still in there?!"
"Yes! I'm alive!"
"How many?"
A pistol fires.
"None anymore."
RIGGS kicks down the door.
"Erin?!"
ERIN BURNS (JOANNA CASSIDY); RIGGS' ex-wife. Ex because she left when he was discharged. God only knows what she's doing here, or how she knows about these things. A smoking six shooter in her hands.
"Riggs, is it really you?"
"Yes, it is. I'm here with the government. The VAMPS."
"Oh my God. I don't even care. I'm just glad that I'm alive, that you're alive."
RIGGS pulls out his radio. "Vance, I've got the girl. Are we clear to leave?"
Gunfire, screams, and then silence.
"Clear. Everything is down. You'll be the last one out. Take care of them."
