TEXT: Prologue: In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer. The library at Sunnydale High School. Buffy is crouched over Kendra after finding her dead. Behind her a police officer comes in and aims his gun at her. Officer#1: Freeze! (Buffy faces him) Put your hands up. Back away from the girl slowly. Another officer comes in behind the first, gun drawn and surveying the scene. Buffy slowly gets to her feet and raises her hands. Buffy: Look, I didn't do anything. Officer#1: Do it! Now! The second officer holsters her gun and crouches down to feel for Kendra's pulse, but can't find one. Officer#2: This one's dead. Officer#1: What about up there? (nods toward the mezzanine) Buffy and Officer#2 look up at the stacks and see Xander lying unconscious on the floor behind the railing. Buffy: Xander... She starts to go to him, but Officer#2 grabs her and pushes her back. Officer#2: Get her out of here! Buffy: Wait! Just see if he's okay! Please! The second officer hands her off to the first, and then goes to check on Xander. Buffy offers no resistance, and lets herself be led out. Officer#2 crouches down by Xander to check him out. Cut to the hall outside the library. Officer#1 leads Buffy out. Buffy: Please. You don't understand. Officer#1: You'd do well to keep your mouth shut, missy. They turn down the hall and see Snyder coming down followed by two more officers. Buffy: But I didn't *do* anything. Snyder: Why do I find that so very hard to believe? Officer#1: (to the other officers) In there. (to Snyder) You know this girl? Snyder: Buffy Summers. If there's trouble, she's behind it. Buffy: (angrily) You stupid little troll. You have *no* idea! Snyder: Attitude
