    Derek loves being Gothic and dramatic all over the place. He loves black and having his office nice and gloomy with ethereal music screeching in the background...actually he doesn't, he likes Dolly Parton. He also likes the wear a big black cape but that just gets tangled around his legs and trips him up. Dracula, he certainly isn't.

    His mother announces her retirement, leaving Derek in charge much to his shock and surprise.

    Derek has killed yet another assistant. That's three in a week! Perhaps it's because his mother has been driving him mad again. Or maybe it's just because he's a homicidal maniac...in a good suit...and a purple silk shirt.

    Meet Marjorie Pargiter, who is not having the best day. Her blood pressure is through the roof, her train is late as is her car that is supposed to meet her at her destination. When it arrives, it's too big and too flashy as is her driver who has a fondness for musicals. And her phone is refusing to turn on. And she bangs her ear. And her knee. It's definitely one of those days.
