The two began explaining what her, Richie and Seth had to do once they got into the Labyrinth. Josephine and Seth didn't interrupt them as they laid out the plan.

Seth waited until they were finished to speak, "Okay, so, let me get this straight. We get through the labyrinth and then we get to you?"

"No, not to me. To my blood," Santanico corrects.

"What?" Seth asks confused.

"It's in something that you understand to be a vault." Santanico says.

"A sarcophagus," Richie speaks up, "When we get it, she'll be replenished."

"Then, what after that?" Josephine asks Santanico.

"I will be free." Santanico replies.

"Oh really? To do what? Take your little show on the road?" Seth asks rudely, "Murder and mayhem from coast to coast? Is that your plan?"

"Seth," Josephine said warning the man to back off then looked back at Santanico, "You've been kept here for years and years, having men walk all over you like you're a piece of property. You want away from that, don't you?"

Santanico gave her a longing look, Josephine was close but not quite there.

"Look, Seth," Richie spoke up getting everyone's attention, "we boost the blood, we deliver the goods and the job is done."

"What job?" Seth yelled sternly.

"Soon you'll know. Look, if you're so against this then Josie and I can just go." Richie suggested.

"I-I don't know," Seth shook his head, "Labyrinth? Trials? This whole thing seems like a lot to go through just to keep a showgirl in a cage."

Santanico rolled her eyes, "In the Labyrinth, the trials are constructed from the memories of everyone in it."

Richie added on to the woman, "It's not just a prison. It's a test, put here by the Lords of the Night. Whoever has the purity of the mind to pass the trials will be deemed worthy."

"Of what?" Josephine asks.

"No one knows. In five centuries, it's never been done." Santanico says causing Josephine to swallow hard, scared.

Seth sighed, "Alright, when do we start?"

"As soon as I leave," Santanico says smirking, "I can't go with you. The Lords would know that I was there, and they don't like cheating."

"No self-respecting God does," Seth comments as Santanico walks away into the RV.

The three looked at each other and looked back to see the RV was gone and replaced with a black car and tables full of weapons. The three of them walked over to the circular table that had a bunch of pictures on it.
