Description
When Jennifer and Tanner get to the rooftop the assassin fired from, they're surprised that Xander is already there.

"Thought you were going home?" Tanner says mockingly.
With a grunt, Xander replies; "Just satisfying my curiosity. I know I hit em, but had to be sure."
"So?" Jennifer asks.
"Ya, there's a little bit of blood spray here." Xander informs them. "Not nearly what I expected though."
"Not much of a distance for a sniper." Tanner comments aloud.
"Whoever it was knows what they're doing. They definitely had training." Xander says.
Skeptically, Tanner says; "I'm no sniper; but I could hit that window from here."
Shaking his head, Xander says; "Why does everyone think that sniping is only about the mile long shots? I mean, sure, those kind of shots can only be done by a sniper. But the training is all about positioning, getting in and out undetected, leaving no trace behind. You're a ghost who shows up, takes out a single target, and vanishes. All without anyone even knowing you're in the same zip code. Hell, you can utilize sniping techniques at twenty feet."
"So why do you say this guy has had training?" Jennifer asks.
"No brass." Xander replies. "They took two shots, but there isn't any bullet casings which means they 'policed' themselves. Also the gravel up on this roof is kinda loose, but there isn't much in the way of tracks that I can see. There's nothing except a mist of blood to even show that someone has been up on this roof in weeks. That takes skill."
"I've already called this in, the City Defenders should be here soon, along with their crime lab." Jennifer informs him. "I think you should go ahead and take off just in case the Green Guardian shows up."
"Yup." Xander agrees as he stands up. "Wouldn't want to have to kill one of the good guys now would we?"
