::Buffy drops her crossbow on the library counter.::
Buffy: I need a stake.
Giles: *opens a drawer and tosses her a sharpened stake* You're going after her?
Buffy: *catches stake and pulls her hair back* I left the others outside. I need to make sure they are okay.
Giles: Others?
Buffy: Willow, Xander, Jesse and Cordelia. Anya took off awhile ago.
Giles: Needn't I remind you--
Buffy: The danger I am putting them in? I know. I explained that. They insisted. And honestly? We may need them.
Giles: What should I do?
Buffy: First, we need to look up some kind of sanctuary spell. Something that allows us to be protected here. I don't want anymore unannounced visitors. Then, we need to find everything we can about the Harvest. I'll have the others help you look once I track them down. *turns around toward the library doors and stops.* Giles?
Giles: *pauses* Hmm?
Buffy: Stay safe. I don't need another watcher dying on my watch. *walks out the door*

::Willow, Xander, Jesse and Cordelia wait across the street.::
Xander: How long has it been?
Willow: Seven minutes. She has three to get back.
Jesse: And then we're off to Cordelia's. Sweet!
Cordelia: *rolls her eyes* Why am I even here? *begins to walk away*
Xander: Don't.
Cordelia: What, like you're going to stop me?
Xander: Buffy said to wait here.
Cordelia: Newsflash: Buffy's a loony. Vampires aren't real. They can't be.
Xander: And what do you think that was back there? The thing you recorded on your phone? A trick of the light?
Jesse: That could be it. Right?
Xander: Yeah, it was a trick of the light and the body just... disappeared?
Jesse: No, he could have.. run away.
Willow: Guys... *checking her watch*
::The others stare at Willow.::
Willow: Time's up.
Cordelia: You cannot come to my house. I'm sorry, real or not, I can't have losers coming to my house.
Xander: Does Buffy even know where we live?
Jesse: *looking at the school* Don't know if that's going to be a problem.
Willow: Why?
::Jesse points toward the front entrance. A blonde girl is running toward them.::
Jesse: Looks like she's just a tad late.
Willow: That's... not Buffy.
Jesse: Yeah it is, see? Blonde hair.
Cordelia: No, as oddball as she is, Catholic schoolgirl is not her style. Oh god! Do you think that's who she saw going into the school before?
Willow: No, if that were the case, Buffy would be...
Xander: Dead? No, she just got here. She can't be dead.
Jesse: Yet, little Miss not-so-innocent is still heading this way, man.
Xander: Okay, okay. The rules. Stake through the heart, sunlight. Easiest way to kill them.
Willow: And the last one? Remember that?
Xander: Yeah, don't get killed. So plan B is to..
Willow: Run.
::All four teens take off in different directions, hoping one of them will survive.::
