TARA: Let's look around. Maybe we can figure out where it went.

(They move off. Willow moves around some trees and finds the security guard lying on the ground.)

WILLOW: It went here!

RILEY: No pulse.

ANYA: Yep, the space lamb got 'im.

XANDER: I don't see any marks on him.

WILLOW: I-I know him! He, he was at the hospital, a mental patient. They released him today.

(Everyone leans down to look at the body. Riley takes out a pen and brings it toward the guard's mouth. )

GILES: Uh, Riley, what are you doing?

RILEY: I'm not sure, there's something...

(He sticks the pen in the guard's mouth and it comes out covered with a clear slimy substance. Everyone reacts at the same time, making disgusted noises and covering their noses as it obviously smells bad. )

RILEY: Oh, that might be toxic, don't touch it.

XANDER: Oh yeah, touching it was my first impulse. Luckily I've moved on to my second, which involves dry-heaving and running like hell. (straightens up) Oh, man, does that smell.
