               INT. DARK ROOM - AFTERNOON

               It's afternoon though there's no way one could tell from
               inside the dark, windowless room.

               Sarah is as before, lying on the cot with her right arm
               draped behind her to allow access to the loose, crumbling
               bricks hidden below her.

               CU on her hand as it continues to scrape the decaying wall
               with a spoon. She has made definite progress, removing enough
               bricks that a small person could just about squeeze through.

               CU on Sarah's face. Though feigning sleep, she still appears
               to be concentrating on the task at hand.

               Suddenly LOUD WALTZ MUSIC blast through the room. Sarah drops
               the spoon, bolts upright and covers her ears.

               Sarah cringes from the unbearably loud music. The music
               continues to play for several seconds and then, just as
               suddenly as it began, quits.

               Sarah's lip quivers, but the look of resolve quickly returns
               to her face. She lays back down on the bed, her right hand
               again reaching for the spoon as we:

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. SECRET BASE - PRISONER CONTAINMENT - AFTERNOON

               Hester lies unconscious on the floor of her cell. She is
               cleaned up, now wearing a white hospital gown. Her empty left
               eye socket is now covered with gauze and tape. The drill hole
               in her temple is almost healed. She begins to stir. Sitting
               up, the vampire gives a small GROAN. 

               Another DEAD RAT hits the floor in front of her. Hester look
               to where it came from.

               Bratting approaches, Jones a few feet behind her.

                                   GEN. BRATTING
                         Eat up, we've got a busy day ahead
                         of us.

               Hester is obviously still in some pain, but she has enough
               strength to LEAP off the floor, thrust her arm through the
               bars, and make a GRAB for Bratting.

                                   HESTER
                         I'll kill you for what you've done
                         to me!

               Jones jumps back, startled. Bratting, however, doesn't
               flinch. She is standing just out of Hester's reach. 

                                   HESTER (CONT'D)
                         I'll kill you! Kill you!

                                   GEN. BRATTING
                             (coolly)
                         In time, perhaps. But not today.

               Hester gives a frustrated SCREAM.

               Bratting smiles coldly as we:

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. FRANK'S DINER - AFTERNOON

               CU a computer screen. On it is a map. 

               Tyler sits at the bar with his laptop in front of him. Mike
               and Vi stand on either side looking at the computer's screen. 

               Tamsin and Fletcher are still on the end of the bar. Jamie,
               who is now reading a school book, has moved down a stool to
               accommodate Mike and Vi.

                                   TYLER
                         This may not work. It order for me
                         to trace her phone's GPS it has to
                         be on, it's got to be in range, and
                         it's got to be somewhere with a
                         clear signal.

                                   VI
                             (to Mike)
                         Is he always like this when he does
                         his computer stuff?

                                   MIKE
                             (shrugging)
                         I usually just smile, tune him out,
                         and nod every minute or so.
                         Thinking of kittens helps.

               Tyler gives Mike a wry smile and then looks to Vi.

                                   TYLER
                         I'm ready when you are.

               Vi takes out her cell phone and dials. She puts it on speaker
               phone and sets it on the bar.

               One ring.

               ANGLE ON the screen. Nothing.

               ANGLE ON Tyler's face looking at the screen.

               Two rings.

               ANGLE ON Vi as she bites her bottom lip nervously.

               ANGLE ON the screen. Nothing.

               Three rings.

               ANGLE ON Mike as he glances to Vi.

               ANGLE ON the screen. Still nothing.

               Four rings.

               ANGLE ON Vi who now looks very worried.

               ANGLE on the screen. A dot on the map lights up.

                                   TYLER (CONT'D)
                         We've got a location! 

               Vi jumps excitedly as Tyler takes Vi's phone and turns it
               off. 

               The Slayer gives Mike a hug, picking him off the floor and
               swinging him around.

               Vi sets down Mike and grabs Tyler from behind, giving the
               startled man a tight hug. He grimaces in slight pain and then
               grins at Vi's excitement.

                                   TYLER (CONT'D)
                         The signal's weak, her battery may
                         be low, so I can't pinpoint the
                         exact coordinates, but it looks
                         like she's near the campground and
                         hiking trails outside of town.

                                   MIKE
                             (smiling)
                         Didn't you tell me Sarah liked
                         camping?

                                   VI
                             (nodding; excitedly)
                         Yeah. Said she goes with her
                         parent's every summer! I can't
                         believe you remembered that!

                                   MIKE
                         Yeah, well when I hear something
                         about "pitching a tent", I'm all
                         ears.

               Vi chuckles.

                                   VI
                         Let's go check it out!

               The two turn to leave, Tyler clears his throat expectantly.
               Vi gets the hint and turns back to face Tyler.

                                   VI (CONT'D)
                         Thanks, Tyler!

               Vi gives Tyler a peck on the cheek.

                                   VI (CONT'D)
                         You're super, man!

               Mike and Vi run out the door. Tyler watches them exit. With a
               smug look on his face, he turns to Jamie.

                                   TYLER
                         Did you hear that, Jamie? 

               Jamie looks up from his book.

                                   TYLER (CONT'D)
                         I'm "super man".

               Tyler strikes a heroic pose.

                                   TYLER (CONT'D)
                             (with mock fear)
                         You think Callie should be afraid
                         for her life?

               Jamie cocks his eyebrow and looks Tyler up and down.

                                   JAMIE
                             (deadpan)
                         No.

               He turns back to his book.

               At the end of the bar Fletcher and Tamsin roll with laughter.
               Tyler huffs as we:

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. SECRET BASE - PRISONER CONTAINMENT - LATE AFTERNOON

               Hester is once again strapped to the chair. Her right arm now
               has several burn marks. Standing behind her are Jones,
               holding a clipboard, and Ortiz. Billie observes from across
               the room.

               Bratting, wearing a pair of safety goggles and gloves, stands
               before the demon holding a glass test tube filled of a clear
               liquid. 

               Bratting empties the small vile on Hester's right arm. The
               vampire screams out in pain. Her skin smokes as the tube's
               contents eat a hole through her flesh.

               Jones again cringes slightly.

               After a few beats, the hole closes, leaving another burned
               looking spot.

               Grace looks at the clock, noting the time, and nods to
               herself.

                                   GEN. BRATTING
                         Sulfuric acid, right arm, lower
                         quadrant, dorsal side. Thirty
                         seconds.

               Jones jots down the information on the clipboard.

                                   GEN. BRATTING (CONT'D)
                         Impressive.

               Hester glares at Bratting.

                                   HESTER
                         It'll be impressive when I rip out
                         your still-beating heart and eat it
                         while you watch!

               Grace gives an almost amused smirk. She turns and picks up
               another test tube. 

               Turning back to face Hester, the two women lock eyes for a
               moment. Bratting breaks eye contact and looks to Jones.

               Bratting's hand moves, Hester SCREAMS as we:

               INT. DARK ROOM - LATE AFTERNOON

               Sarah is still on her bed.

               CU on hand. She removes another brick from the wall. It joins
               a pile of bricks that she has already removed. Her hand feels
               around the hole, judging its size.

               Sarah gives a thin smile. She looks around the room and then
               flattens herself against the wall, squeezing behind the cot,
               sliding down onto the floor.

               She looks at the dark hole before her and takes a deep
               breath. Exhaling slowly, she crawls into the blackness as we:

                                                             BLACK OUT.

               EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE STREET - DUSK

               Tyler's car drives past the camera.

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. TYLER'S CAR - CONTINUOUS

               Mike is in the driver's seat, Vi in the passenger.

                                   MIKE
                         Sarah's not going to be happy about
                         you busting in on her little
                         getaway.

                             (shrugging)
                         She's already pissed at me. What
                         else is she gonna do?

               The two sit in silence. Vi frowns for a few beats.

                                   VI (CONT'D)
                         Could you conjure me up like a
                         catcher's mask or something?

               Mike gives Vi a questioning look.

                                   VI (CONT'D)
                         She's small, but scrappy.

               Mike chuckles as we:

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. CRAWLSPACE - DUSK

               Sarah is standing, making her way through the dark, tight
               space between the walls. It's a tight squeeze, so her pace is
               slow. 

               Suddenly, 4 RATS scamper across her sandaled feet. Sarah
               freezes and flinches in disgust as the rodents run over her. 

               Looking up, she jumps in surprise as she sees another RAT
               clinging to the wall at her eye level. It crawls right in
               front of her nose. She squints her eyes shut and turns her
               head to keep the creature from touching her as it passes. She
               shivers as the rodent's tail drapes across her cheek.

               Once it passes, she continues on her way.

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. SECRET BASE - PRISONER CONTAINMENT - DUSK

               Hester is still strapped to the chair. Her burn marks almost
               healed.

                             (to Hester)
                         We're going to take a short break
                         now. Is there anything I can get
                         you? Something to eat perhaps?

               Grace waves a DEAD RAT in front of Hester's face.

                                   HESTER
                         Go to Hell!

               Grace gives her a small smile.

               Ortiz and Jones move to stand by a small desk and begin
               comparing notes. 

               Bratting moves over to the other side of the room to where
               Billie is standing.

                                   GEN. BRATTING

                         Fascinating creatures. Aren't they?

               Billie is clearly not amused.

                                   BILLIE
                             (accusatory)
                         What are you up to?

               Bratting cocks her eyebrow at Billie's informal attitude. She
               then leans in closer, a smile coming to her lips.

                                   GEN. BRATTING
                         You think that little power of
                         yours is something? Just wait.

               Billie clenches her jaw.

                         About that. I believe we had a
                         deal. I do what you want, you give
                         me what I want. 
                             (beat)
                         I've held up my end of the bargain.

                         And so you have, Col. Jackson.
                         Magnificently. But I think I'd
                         better hold on to that information
                         just a bit longer.

               She turns to walk away.

                                   GEN. BRATTING (CONT'D)
                         Can't have you switching teams when
                         we're so close to the finish line.

               Billie frowns. She storms off, exiting the room as we:

               Tyler's car exits the city limits.

               INT. TYLER'S CAR - CONTINUOUS

               Vi sits in the passenger seat looking at Mike. The warlock is
               staring ahead- a good thing to do while you're driving, but
               his mind is clearly elsewhere.

                                   VI
                         ...and then I made it to Sunnydale.

               Mike nods, obviously not listening. She frowns.

                                   VI (CONT'D)
                         ...where I ate nothing but
                         cheesecake and Gummi Bears and
                         danced naked in a chocolate
                         fountain. 
                             (sighing)
                         Good times.

               Mike again nods. Vi hits him lightly on the arm.

                                   VI (CONT'D)
                         What's wrong with you?!

               This gets Mike's attention. He frowns and shakes his head. 

                                   MIKE
                         Nothing.

                                   VI
                         Then you're not having issues with
                         a stoney-faced teacher whose name
                         you've noticeably not mentioned all
                         day?

                                   MIKE
                             (firmly)
                         I said it's nothing.
                             (hurriedly)
                         Hey! I love this song.

               Mike turns up the radio, which is playing "Uprising" by Muse,
               and begins to rock out. Vi immediately turns the radio back
               down.

                                   VI
                         So nothing is up with you and Jack?

               Mike is quiet, clinching his jaw.

                                   VI (CONT'D)
                         The strong, silent act, not fallin'
                         for it, bucko. Spill.

               Mike huffs realizing that it's pointless to argue. He takes
               in a slow breath and lets it out.

                                   MIKE
                         Nothing is up with me and Jack.
                             (beat; softly)
                         ...because there is no "me and
                         Jack". Not anymore.

               Vi gives Mike a sympathetic look.

                                   VI
                         Oh! What happened?

                                   MIKE
                             (shrugging)

                         marshmallow cream sandwiches. What
                         is that about?!
                             (beat)
                         Oh. And then there's the whole "he
                         thinks I'm still hung up on my dead
                         lover" thing.

                         He wha-- He thinks you're still in
                         love with Lon?!

               Mike nods and is quiet for a beat.

                                   MIKE
                         And I'm not so sure he's wrong.

               Vi leans over and hugs Mike's arm, resting her head on his
               shoulder. He continues to drive, serious faced, as we:

               INT. CRAWLSPACE - NIGHT

               Sarah continues to move through the tight crawlspace. She
               moves into a cobweb which clings to her face. She grabs at
               the object as she presses on.

               She comes to an intersection. The left passage is a
               noticeably tighter squeeze while the passage ahead is the
               same width as the passage she is currently in. After a beat's
               deliberation, she takes the wider of the two.

               She continues on for another few feet and comes to a dead
               end.

               Sarah takes a deep breath, as deep as her tight quarters will
               allow, and turns back in the direction which she came from.

               Again coming to the intersection in the walls, she takes the
               smaller passage, wedging herself into the narrow opening. 

               She grimaces as she wiggles her way along, moving only a few
               inches every few seconds. She grunts with exertion as we:

               INT. DARK ROOM - NIGHT

               The heavy door is pushed open. A pair of nondescript black
               shoes appears. 

               KIDNAPPER'S POV: The camera pans around the empty room,
               looking frantically for signs of Sarah. 

               Seeing none, the kidnapper moves closer to the bed and tosses
               it aside.

               ZOOM IN on the hole Sarah escaped through.

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. SECRET BASE - PRISONER CONTAINMENT - NIGHT

               Bratting stands before Hester, a PISTOL pointed at the bound
               vampire.

               Ortiz and Jones stand behind their superior officer.

               Bratting FIRES the weapon into Hester's chest. The vampire
               jumps with the impact.

               Another SHOT again to the chest. 

               Hester SCREAMS out and strains against her bonds.

               BANG! One more shot.

               Bratting hands the gun to Ortiz. She approaches Hester and
               opens the front of the vampire's gown. 

               The bullet holes all begin to close. Bratting smiles to
               herself.

                                   GEN. BRATTING
                             (to Hester)

                             (beat)
                         Congratulations. You've passed with
                         flying colors.

                                   HESTER
                             (sarcastically)
                         Goodie! Does that mean I get my
                         license now?!

               Bratting smirks and turns to the lieutenant.

                                   GEN. BRATTING
                         Put the prisoner back in her cell
                         and prepare for transport. We'll be
                         shipping out at twenty-two hundred
                         hours.

               The soldier nods. He takes out his tazer and ZAPS Hester
               several times until she goes limp.

               Bratting and Jones turn and exit the room.

               Ortiz undoes Hester's bindings and hoists up her limp form.
               He drags the vampire to her cell and drops her to the floor.
               The cell door clinks closed.

               The soldier walks to the other side of the room and begins to
               pack away the test equipment into a large crate.

               On the cell floor, Hester begins to come to once again. She
               sits up. The dead rat that Bratting threw in to the cell
               earlier lays by the cell door. Hester eyes it.

               A movement catches her eye. The cell door has become ajar,
               swinging silently open about an inch. 

               She looks out through the bars. Ortiz is still across the
               room, his back to the demon.

               A smile spreads across Hester's face as we:

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. CRAWLSPACE - NIGHT

               Sarah continues to inch her way through the tight space. Her
               breathing is ragged. Every move is an effort in such a
               confining area. 

               She stops, exhausted, and begins to silently cry. Tears
               stream down her face for a few moments. 

               She freezes. Something has caught her attention. A breeze!
               She squints in the darkness to locate the source. 

               A few feet ahead there's a CRACK in the wall. Through it,
               Sarah sees STARS! A way out! 

               Sarah grits her teeth and begins to pull herself toward
               possible freedom as we:

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. SECRET BASE - PRISONER CONTAINMENT - NIGHT

               The lieutenant continues to pack away equipment. Suddenly,
               Hester grabs him from behind and SNAPS his neck. Ortiz drops
               to the ground like a lip dish rag.

               Hester quickly looks around the room. Spotting a white lab
               coat, she grabs it and throws it on, covering her hospital
               gown.

                                                                CUT TO:

               INT. CRAWLSPACE - NIGHT

               Sarah has made it to the small crack in the wall. Looking
               through it, she can see not only the night sky, but a few
               other buildings.

               Using all her might, Sarah drags herself to the small crack
               in the wall. Looking through it, she can see not only the
               night sky, but a few other buildings.

                                                                CUT TO:

               EXT. WAREHOUSE - CONTINUOUS

               The small crack which Sarah is peeking through is just above
               street level. Her fingers come through it, reaching out into
               the night.

                                                                CUT TO:

               EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE ALLEYWAY - NIGHT

               A heavy metal door flies open. Hester cautiously exits into
               the night air.

                                                                CUT TO:

               IN. CRAWLSPACE - CONTINUOUS

               Sarah begins to claw at the crumbling plaster. The hole
               begins to widen. Her hands are now bloody, but she doesn't
               seem to notice, keeping her mind on the task before her.

                                                                CUT TO:

               EXT. WAREHOUSE - CONTINUOUS

               The hole is finally wide enough for Sarah to fit through.
               With effort, she manages to pull herself through, tumbling to
               the ground. She lays there for a beat and then pulls herself
               into a sitting position. She looks up at the night sky.

                                                                CUT TO:

               EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE ALLEYWAY - CONTINUOUS

               All is quiet. The alleyway is empty except for assorted trash
               cans. The full moon hangs brightly above. Hester looks
               around, taking in the sights as if they are the most
               beautiful things she's ever seen.

               After a beat, the vampire RUNS off down the alleyway and into
               the night.

                                                                CUT TO:

               EXT. WAREHOUSE - CONTINUOUS

               Sarah pulls herself of the ground. She looks around for a
               beat. Nothing but old warehouses can be seen. Sarah begins
               RUNNING, vanishing into the darkness.

                                                                CUT TO:

               Tyler's car pulls into a parking spot at the head of several
               trails. Mike kills the engine and exits the vehicle carrying
               a flashlight. Vi exits from the passenger side, also with a
               flashlight in hand.

                                   MIKE
                         What's the plan here, V? We can't
                         exactly go poking our heads into
                         every tent we see, because trust
                         me, that never works out.

                             (wistfully)
                         What a weekend.

               Vi frowns. She obviously hadn't thought this part through.

                         And then, of course, there's wild
                         animals to look out for.

                                   VI
                         Wild animals?

                         You haven't been camping before,
                         have you? 

               Vi shakes her head.

                         I went to summer camp once but the
                         wildest thing I saw there was a
                         chipmunk.

               Mike smirks.

                                   VI (CONT'D)
                         Those things can be vicious!

                                   MIKE
                         Well, chipmunks will be the least
                         of your worries. There could be
                         snakes, and pumas--

                                   VI
                         Pumas?

                                   MIKE
                         And bears.

                                   VI
                             (alarmed)
                         Bears! You think there're bears?!

                                   MIKE
                             (wistfully)
                         Bears. What a weekend.

               Frustrated, Vi shakes her head.

                                   VI
                         Let's just look around. I think we
                         can handle wild animals. I am a
                         Slayer. And you're a wizard... or
                         is it a witch... or... what do they
                         call boy witches?

               The pair turn on their lights and start down the nearest
               trail. 

                                                               FADE TO:

               EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE CAMPGROUNDS - TRAIL - MOMENTS LATER

                                   VI
                         Are you sure?

                                   MIKE
                         Yes, "warlock" or "witch", but
                         never "wizard"... unless you're
                         talking about Harry Potter or Lord
                         of the Rings. And "magician" only
                         applies if you play birthday
                         parties.

               Vi takes in this knowledge.

                                   VI
                             (nodding)
                         Humph.

               The pair walk for a few more steps. Vi stops Mike.

                                   MIKE
                         What?

                                   VI
                         Shh. You hear that?

                                   MIKE
                         Hear what?

               Vi waves him quiet. He listens. There is definitely a low
               BEATING SOUND. The two look questioningly at each other and
               then walk in the direction of the sound.

                                                                CUT TO:

               EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE CAMPGROUNDS - CLEARING - MOMENTS LATER

               Vi and Mike enter a clearing. 

               A CAMPFIRE lights the surrounding area which is occupied by
               ten YOUNG PEOPLE. They appear to be drinking, laughing, and
               having a good time. Several tents are set up behind them.

               The source of the sound becomes apparent- a BOOM BOX. The
               techno music it was pumping out ends and "Uprising" by Muse
               begins to play.

                                   MIKE
                         Hey!

               The group is suddenly quiet. They turn to face Vi and Mike,
               their faces contorting to reveal their true nature. VAMPIRES!

                                   MIKE (CONT'D)
                             (timidly)
                         I love this song.

               The pair exchange an apprehensive look as we:

                                                             BLACK OUT.



                                  END OF ACT THREE
                                      ACT FOUR

               EXT. HEAVEN'S GATE CAMPGROUNDS - CLEARING - NIGHT

               As before, Mike and Vi stand in the clearing surrounded by
               vampires. "Uprising" by Muse begins. Mike and Vi turn to each
               other and nod. The vamps rush them. 

               The two humans break into action. Mike raises his hands and
               shoots LIGHTENING from his finger tips. The bolts hit VAMP #1
               dead center. He falls to the ground.

               Vi, meanwhile, LEAPS into the air and PUNCHES VAMP #2 to the
               ground as she lands.

               The remaining vamps pause for a beat. They clearly hadn't
               counted on this.

               Vamp #1 pulls himself off the ground and leaps at Mike.

               Vi pulls two thin LOGS from the fire and throws one to Mike.
               Vamp #2  grabs Vi's ankle and pulls her to the ground.

               Mike catches the log by its non-flaming end just in time to
               plunge it into Vamp #1's chest. The demon catches on fire and
               burst into ashes.

               Vi rolls over just in time to avoid being hit by Vamp #2.
               He's on top of her now, holding her wrist, keeping the torch
               in her hand on the ground.

               Vi HEAD BUTTS her attacker, throwing him off balance. She
               flips him into the fire. He leaps up and begins to run, but
               quickly disintegrates into dust.

               VAMPS #3 and #4 leap at Mike. They each grab an arm causing
               him to drop his torch.

               VAMPS #5, #6, #7, and #8 jump on Vi, knocking her to the
               ground in a demonic dog pile.

               Vamp #3 PUNCHES Mike hard in the gut and laughs. Vamp #4
               follows his friend's lead and also lands a hard BLOW TO THE
               STOMACH.

               VAMPS #5, #6, #7, and #8 PUNCH and KICK at Vi though she
               can't be seen under the mass of demons.

               VAMPS #9 and #10 watch from the sidelines and root their
               comrades on.

               Mike receives a PUNCH to the face courtesy of Vamp #3. The
               vamp laughs. Mike KICKS HIM IN THE GROIN.
               The demon GROANS and doubles over. His right arm now free,
               Mike PUNCHES Vamp #4.

               Back at the dog pile, Vi's attackers suddenly FLY BACKWARDS
               as The Slayer throws them off. Vi stands.

               Mike grabs a nearby tree limb and BREAKS IT OFF. He tosses it
               to Vi.

               She catches it just as Vamps #5, #6, #7, and #8 move in for
               another attack. In quick succession, she STAKES each of them.
               The four turn to dust.

               Vamp #3 is again on Mike. Mike holds his palm up, fingers
               spread. An INVISIBLE FORCE pushes the demon quickly back. He
               lands on the tree that Mike broke the branch from. The jagged
               stump STABS the creature through the back, bursting through
               his chest. The vamp turns to dust.

               Vamps #4, #9, and #10 make a run for it. 

               Vi THROWS her make-shift stake. It pierces Vamp #4 through
               the back. He falls into the boom box, ending the music, as he
               tumbles to the ground and turns to dust.

               Vi LEAPS through the air and TACKLES Vamp #9. The pair roll
               to the ground.

               Vamp #10 is about to get away. Mike thinks fast. He points to
               the fire. Like a flame thrower, a PLUME OF FIRE shoots out
               and ignites the fleeing demon. It falls to the ground and
               burst into dust.

               Vi has managed to land on top of the helpless vampire. The
               vamp attempts to sit. Vi PUNCHES him across the face. The
               vamp hits the ground again. His coat flies open and a CELL
               PHONE falls out. Vi looks at the device.

               CU on the phone. It's a flip phone, purple, with the letter
               "S" across the front in a swirly font. 

               Vi's eyes go wide. She grabs the phone with her right hand
               and then grabs the vamp by the front of his shirt, pulling
               him close. She shoves the phone in the creature's face.

                                   VI
                             (frantic)
                         Where did you get this?!

               The vamp closes his eyes and cringes.

                                   VAMP #9
                             (pleading)
                         Please don't kill me!

               Vi pushes the phone in closer.

                                   VI
                             (slowly; firmly)
                         Where did you get this?!

               Mike moves in closer. Vi is angry, near tears.

                                   MIKE
                         What is it?

                                   VI
                         It's Sarah's phone! This bastard
                         and his friends killed her!

                                   VAMP #9
                         No! I found it! Honest!

                                   VI
                         Where?!

                                   VAMP #9
                         At Wilcox! In front of one of the
                         dorms!

               Vi stands, pulling the vampire up with her.

                                   VI
                         Talk!

                                   VAMP #9
                         There's not much to--

               Mike leans in.

                                   MIKE
                         You don't want to piss her off,
                         dude.

               Vi glares daggers at the vampire, actually pulling off a
               threatening look. The vamp gulps.

                                   VAMP #9
                         Me and a couple of the guys...
                         um... were walking around campus
                         last week. You know... hoping to
                         pick up some honeys.

               Mike nods. Vi continues to glare. The vamp hurries to
               continue.

                                   VAMP #9 (CONT'D)
                         So, uh, I saw this hot chick. I
                         figured she was waiting for someone
                         because she kept looking at her
                         watch. 
                             (beat)
                         Man, she looked pissed. 

               A sad look flickers across the Slayer's face.

                                   VAMP #9 (CONT'D)
                         Well, I was just about to go get me
                         a taste, but somebody beat me to
                         it.

                                   MIKE
                         Meaning?

                                   VAMP #9
                             (shrugging)
                         I was making sure the coast was
                         clear and I heard a scuffle. When I
                         looked back she was gone.

                                   MIKE
                         One of your friends--

                                   VAMP #9
                         No! I went to check it out. That's
                         when I found the phone. It was
                         pretty, so I took it. I figured, my
                         name's Sid and it had the "S"--

                                   MIKE
                             (firmly)
                         Focus, Sid.

                                   VAMP #9
                         Um.. Right. It wasn't a vamp.
                         Didn't smell right. There was
                         something... chemical in the air.
                         Like a... glue remover.

               Vi leans in closer.

                                   VI
                         Who took her?

                                   VAMP #9
                             (shaking his head)
                         I didn't see! That's all I know! I
                         promise!

               Mike and Vi exchange uneasy looks.

                                   VAMP #9 (CONT'D)
                             (timidly)
                         Can I go now? Am I done?

               Vi turns to the creature, her face cold. 

                                   VI
                             (flatly)
                         Yeah. You're so done.

               Vi GRABS the vamp and THROWS him in the fire. He SCREAMS and
               burst into dust.

                                   VI (CONT'D)
                         Sid. Stupid name.

               Vi turns and walks back to the trail leaving Mike standing
               alone, a stunned look on his face.

                                                                CUT TO:
