GILES: Where's Buffy?

XANDER: Willow's on it. Or ... in it. She's workin' some spell, trying to reach Buffy psychically.

GILES: Uh, she's gone into Buffy's mind?

XANDER: (nods) Pretty tricky stuff.

GILES: It's extraordinarily advanced. Um, I was thinking we should check on Glory's victims while ... we're here.

(As they continue to walk, we see the view in front of them. Around a corner we can see Spike looking at a medical cart. He takes a bag of blood from the cart and puts it in his pocket as he approaches Xander and Giles.

XANDER: Oh, the mental ward? I already been. The vegetable section's closed. Nobody there. It's like they all just got up and walked away.

(Xander and Giles reach Spike and they all stop walking. Xander looks pointedly at Spike's purloined bloodbag but says nothing. )

SPIKE: Checked out Glory's flat - looks like the Great One has scampered.

GILES: Gone to perform her ritual with Dawn. And leaving us entirely clueless.

(Spike lights up a cigarette right in front of a "no smoking" sign)

SPIKE: Not entirely. I know this bloke. Well, not so much a "bloke" so much as demon, but still - Bookish. All tuned in to the nastier corners of this, our magic world. Bit of a last resort, really, but still... ... Might persuade him to suss out Glory's game plan. Sound worthy? Off we go, then. (to Giles) Meet back at the shop?
