(Angel in tunnels. A pregnant woman hurries through an intersection, Angel steps out.)

ANGEL: Hey. It's okay. I won't hurt you. Are you alright?

(The Prio comes charging around a corner growling.)

ANGEL: Look out!

(They fight, Angel wins.)

ANGEL: It's all right. He's dead.

WOMAN: What did you do? Oh my God! What, what have you done? What have you done?

(The woman closes the dead demon's eyes, sobbing quietly.)

ANGEL: I didn't... I thought he was gonna hurt you!

WOMAN: He was my protector! Stay away from me!

ANGEL: I'm sorry. I was sent here to... I'm not exactly sure, but...

WOMAN: You were sent here?

ANGEL: By the Powers That - it's a long story. I help people.

WOMAN: You're joking, right? God, I hate this town!

ANGEL: I'm really... What was he protecting you from?

WOMAN: Things you couldn't handle!

ANGEL: Like what?

WOMAN: Like the Tribunal. Look, I don't know who you are - or what your deal is. And I don't care! He was my protector. I had one friend in this world and you killed him! Now, you stay the hell away from me.
