Left to her own devices (no Mick and Audrey is asleep), Beth wanders into Mick's office. She stops to inhale (what I believe is probably one of the best smells on earth) the scent on Mick's shirt.
She then progresses to his file cabinet and zeroes on the one labeled with the years of 1982-1985. She opens it and what to her wondering eyes should appear? A file with HER name on it!
I'm thinking Mick needed a secretary - his filing skills aren't what they should be.
In the file are photos of her at various ages - from 4 to adult. She spreads them out on the floor and looks at them in disbelief.
In the meantime, Mr. Can't File is arriving at Jerry Drake's house. The door is open.
He enters quietly and his VO tells us that to humans blood just smells coppery but to vamps they can smell emotions like the fear of the person who shd it and the joy of the person who caused it. Jerry is dead on the floor.
Mick immediately calls Beth to tell her Drake is dead. Beth is just cleaning up the pictures when she gets the call. He knows something is wrong right away but she says it's nothing and that Audrey is sleeping. Mick proceeds to tell her that Shepherd is probably after Audrey but when Beth questions if they are safe he says yes and he'll be there in about 10 minutes.
With all that great smelling blood in the air Mick was not able to tell that Donovan was still there so it was a surprise when the new scary vamp comes flying out at him. Mick grabs the sword he played with earlier but it breaks when he hits Donovan with it.
The two wrestle and roll out onto the patio. Mick goes flying over the glass railing and down the hill (Ouch! That does look like it hurts).
He dropped his iPhone and Shepherd pick it up and scrolls through it to find Mick's address. (He learned to use an iPhone in prison?)
Shepherd does that eery "Hello Sweetheart" thing.
Back at Mick's Audrey comes into Mick's office where Beth is sitting at his desk and she asks Beth what she's doing.
"Nothing" is the reply. Audrey starts to ask about Mick - She says it's like they've known each other forever. She can't explain it. Beth mumbles that someone needs to.
Audrey asks Beth if she knows where Mick is and if she's spoken with him.
Next we see Mick getting up from his fall. He searches his pants for his iPhone and realizes it must have fallen out up at the house. He says Beth's name. Guess he knows that Donovan now knows where he lives.
but I hope so, PNWgal, since that is exactly what I have just written in a new story. (That a very strong smell combined with a degree of confusion was enough to confuse a vampire.)

Thanks, PNWgal. 
he might as well just get it over with, right? And go back to being alone, like he deserves to be.
