WESLEY: Gunn.

GUNN: Hey. Got your page. Where's Angel?

WESLEY: He's checking on something else. Come in. The victim's name was Samuel Larch. We found him last night.

GUNN: The guy was a demon.

WESLEY: Yeah.

GUNN: Wesley? - What are we doing, man? Who we're supposed to be working for, anyway? Did the Powers send us here? Did Cordy get a vision?

WESLEY: No.

GUNN: Then what?

WESLEY: Charles, things aren't always so simple as - going out and slaying the big, bad ugly. There are in this world shades of gray...

GUNN: Yeah. And shades of green, and a kind of sickly looking yellow with pink eyes and sometimes puce with horns, too. I get it. What I don't get is *why* we're suddenly playing cleanup crew to a bunch of lowlife demons! - I mean, okay, so we - we bust our butts day and night until we find whatever it was that did Merl and this Larch guy...

WESLEY: And six other victims we believe we've linked to it.

GUNN: So we find this demon killing machine. What then? We gonna stop it? Or thank it?

WESLEY: I don't know.

GUNN: You don't know.

WESLEY: From everything I can determine, this victim was fully assimilated. No history of violence, no threat to anyone. Of the other six, at least two of those *would* have to be classified as irredeemably evil.

GUNN: So what are you saying then?

WESLEY: I'm saying that whatever is responsible for these attacks *isn'*t making any distinctions. It's just killing. Randomly.

ANGEL: You were right. It happened again.

WESLEY: When.

(Gunn sees the bag with the arrowhead and picks it up off the table.)

ANGEL: Last night. A Yarbnie was eviscerated in the sewer near Century City.

GUNN: Yarbie, what's that?

(Gunn gets up from the sofa, casually pocketing the bag with the arrowhead.)

WESLEY: Yarbnie. It's a - balancing entity. They tend to nest in urban areas under roadways - utterly non-violent.

GUNN: You know what? Uhm, maybe I should hit the streets. You know, see if I can shake anything lose. I mean, if you want.

WESLEY: Yeah. That's probably a good idea.

GUNN: (to Angel as he passes him) Hey.

ANGEL: Hey.
