LYDIA
Bloomin' heck, Jackson! We've got to do something.
JACKSON
I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start.
LYDIA
You can start by telling me where this happened.
JACKSON

JACKSON fans himself and begins to wheeze.
LYDIA
Focus Jackson, focus! Where did it happen?
JACKSON
Tower Bridge, London! That's right - Tower Bridge, London!
LYDIA springs up and begins to run.

EXT. A PARK - BACK IN TIME
A young LYDIA is sitting in a park listening to some R & B music when suddenly a dark shadow casts over her.
She looks up and sees FLORA. She takes off her headphones.
FLORA
Would you like some toffees?
LYDIA's eyes light up, but then he studies FLORA more closely and looks uneasy.
LYDIA
I don't know, you look kind of creepy.
FLORA
Me? No. I'm not creepy. I'm the least creepy vampire in the world.
LYDIA
Wait, you're a vampire?
LYDIA runs away, screaming.
EXT. TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON - PRESENT DAY
FLORA
You were a coward then, and you are a coward now.
JACKSON
(To LYDIA) You ran away?
LYDIA
(To JACKSON) I was a young child. What was I supposed to do?
