"Are you sure this is where we will find a replacement, Stoker?" Zari said doubtfully.

"Yes, this is where out of work actors hang out, it is perfect."

"It's a bar with lots of booze, sounds like a good idea to me." Mick shrugged barging through the door impatiently.

Quinn turned to Wally who was stood next to her a big smile on his face. "He will regret that when he drinks it." Even Quinn wouldn't touch the beer in here.

" Who knows. "

"So how do we spot an actor?" Sara asked looking around.

"Easy one thing look how they stand out, like flamingos among blackbirds, they need to attract a directors attention, plus they aren't very good quality so they don't have much money, probably live in poor digs, their hair is more.."

" Yes, yes thank you, Miss Marple. " Sara said eager to get this over with, she wanted to get Quinn away from here, away from Savage.

"You did ask Sara."

" Come on which one are we going to target. "

"We aren't serial killers Sara, I'd start with the ones with beards, Stoker had a beard."

" Yeah, it looked very charming covered in blood. " Amaya grimaced at the memory from a few hours ago.
