diana is on the front steps of the library saying good-bye to two of the children from the zoo. she hands them over to their mothers, and goes up the steps into the building.
diana comes down the steps, wading through the swarm of homebound commuters, and catches a cab.
eddie leaves the car running, and burst through the main entrance flashing his badge at the stunned security guards.
lou gamiani emerges from the building with diana. she is terrified.
distracted for an instant by a cluster of conventioneers, lou fails to notice the two comachos who have fallen in step behind them. he goes down with a gasp, almost silently, a knife sticking from his back. a comacho grabs diana's arm. she jabs him in the eyes, and runs.
