Apocalypse/Dracula
Inspector Strum and his partner Inspector Hopkins are inspecting the latest dead body, a teenage woman is found in the back-alleys of 1897 London. Hopkins mentions that Jack is late, and this makes the fourth body found drained of blood. Strum is the one that notices a small tattoo behind her ear.
When Detective Starsmore arrives, Hopkins insists that the three of them go to the Alexandria House and question Hamilton Slade. There Hopkins and Strum learn about the connection between the tattoo and an ancient cult of Apocalypse. Slade then reveals his true nature as a powerful member of the Apocalypse cult, rips off Strums head with his teeth and runs Hopkins through with his claws.
The dead inspectors never learn that Jack Starsmore was working with Slade to cover the murders of the Alexandria House and the Apocalypse cult.
