WILLOW: 'Look'? That's all it said?

XANDER: Look at what? Look at Mitch?

BUFFY: Maybe. All I know is it's a message.

XANDER: And...

GILES: Ah, here you are.

BUFFY: And monsters don't usually send messages. It's pretty much crush, kill, destroy. This was different.

GILES: I'd have to say you're right.

BUFFY: I love it when he says that! Any theories?

GILES: Uh, I'm, uh, it's a bit of a puzzle, really. Um, I've never actually heard of anyone attacked by a lone baseball bat before.

XANDER: Maybe it's a vampire bat. (no response from the others) I'm alone with that one, huh?

GILES: Well, assuming the bat itself is not possessed, uh, there are a few possibilities that bear investigating. Uh, someone with telekinesis, uh, the power to move objects at will, uh, uh, an invisible creature, um, or possibly a poltergeist.

WILLOW: A ghost?

GILES: Yes, and a very angry one.

BUFFY: Yeah, I'd say. The locker room was a real scene.

WILLOW: If it's a ghost, then we're talking about a dead kid.

BUFFY: I guess so. You know, why don't you compile a list of dead or missing kids? It's probably a good place to start.

GILES: And, uh, I'll research all the possibilities, ghosts included. But, uh, Xander, if you're not doing anything, would you like to help me?

XANDER: What, so there's homework now? When did that happen?

BUFFY: It's all part of the glamorous world of vampire slayage.

XANDER: Well, what part do you have?

BUFFY: Gonna find out what I can about Mitch. This attack wasn't random.

XANDER: Well, I want that part.

BUFFY: Fine. You can do it. Ask around, talk to his friends. Talk to Cordelia!

XANDER: Talk to Cordelia? (to Giles) So, research, huh?
