Sacha Mary Palmer is waiting for the bus in the early hours of the morning. She sees a strange man standing nearby, and is nervous as several girls have gone missing recently. She takes a taxi instead, and the man nearly catches her before the taxi drives off. The driver begins speeding away, and Sacha realises the doors are locked. The driver reveals himself to be a vampire. When Sacha's mobile phone rings, the vampire stops the taxi suddenly, sending Sacha through the window. She is seriously injured, and the vampire, Saric Warder, approaches her. The man that Sacha saw earlier yells for Saric to stop. Saric tells Sacha the man is called "the Doctor", then he kills her. The Doctor leaves Peri to stay with Sacha, and chases Saric as he runs off.
