Picture of Stella Salvatore (1920)

Chicago

Colette and Stella get out of a car. "Welcome back to Chicago, Stella"

"What are we doing here?" Stella asks.

"I know how much you loved it here. Bringing back memories of the good old ripper days?"

"Blacked out most of them. A lot of blood, a lot of partying. The details are all a blur" Stella tells her.

"Well, that is a crying shame. The details are what make it legend"

Chicago 1920

"Word was the ripper of Monterrey got lonely, so she escaped to the city for comfort. It was Prohibition. Everything was off limits then, which made everything so much fun"

Stella is in a car making out with a man but then she drinks his blood and kills him. She gets out of the car, removes the blood from her lips, and walks down the street.

Stella enters a bar and pats the doorman on the shoulder as she passes. The owner of the bar who is on the stage singing sees her. "Guess who my eyes have just spied, gentlemen? Looking for a good time, Ms. Salvatore?"

"Save me a dance, Gloria" She's about to grab a glass of champagne but a man takes it before she does. "Ooh. Please, help yourself"

"Oh, I always do" He turns around and gets closer to her. He licks the corner of her lips and whispers in her ear. He's vamped out "Careful, Ms. Salvatore. You're still wearing your date. He's lovely"

He's about to leave but she grabs his arm "No, no, no. Who are you?"

He puts his finger to his lips to tell her to be quiet. He walks away.

Chicago

"Chicago was magical" Colette tells her.

"Yeah, well, I'll take your word for it. Like I said, I don't remember most of it"

"Going to get down to business, then?"

"Why am I still with you? We had our fun, your hybrids failed. I mean, don't you want to move on?" Stella asks.

"We're going to see my favorite witch. If anyone can help us with our hybrid problem, it's her" Colette walks over to the car which is being held open by one of her minions.

Chicago 1920

In the bar Gloria is singing another song. A waiter is pouring champagne on a champagne tower. Richard is dancing with a lady but is looking at Stella who is at the bar, drinking and flirting with a bunch of men. He stops dancing and joins them.

"Sorry to crash the fun, boys, but some of us actually came here to hear the music. Not you"

"I am so sorry, sweetheart. Are we offending you?" Stella asks. The other laughs.

Richard touches her face "It would take a lot more than a baby face like this to offend me" He's about to leave.

"Ahem. Hey, hey. You ever going to tell me your name?" Stella asks him.

"Sure. When you earn it. Now do Gloria a favor and stick a sock in it" He goes back to the dance-floor and continues dancing with the lady.
