A Buffy the Vampire Slayer/ Stephine Plum Crossover
This is a piece of fiction and none of the characters belong to me. Hope you enjoy it.
Prologue:
I grew more and more desperate as time past. I shouldn't even be chasing after this skip, it should have been Rangers! He was gone though once again so I got stuck with the hard cases and Lulu got mine. This time the skip was a female named Faith Wilkins, who had been charged with dealing in illegal weapons and had a bit of a rap sheet including several murders and some minor stuff. Vinnie had taken the bond he said in order to repay a debt he owed. Not even Connie knew what that was about and knowing Vinnie we weren't really eager to find out. Faith had missed her appointment with the court though and now I was being sent to bring her in.
When I reached the apartment where Faith was supposed to be staying I got a bit worried. The door had been left unlocked and the room had been ripped apart. I let myself in figuring I could always use the old stand-by and claim I heard someone calling for help and for once I would be telling the truth about the door being unlocked. I looked around the apartment but couldn't find out anything other that she had some strange hobbies, including collecting wooden stakes and ancient books in strange languages, and that the apartment had been expertly searched. Knowing I wouldn't find out anything else I decided to let Morelli, my whatever, who was a cop, know about the break-in.
"Hey, Morelli. The apartment of the skip I was chasing has been broken into and ransacked. And no I didn't do it this time." Stephine told him as she checked out the cabinets to see if she missed anything. "It's the 5th street apartments, apt #444. This Faith girl was certainly strange, Morelli. I keep finding weirder and weirder stuff."
"Wait, Stephine. You're in Faith Wilkins place? Morelli asked carefully.
I could tell from the way he said that real carefully that there was going to be something strange about this skip once again. "Yeah, I am. Why?" I asked him.
"Leave the room carefully. I'll be sending over someone who's an expert. Faith Wilkins, we've found out is involved in some pretty freaky stuff." Morelli said hurriedly. "Got to go, talk to you latter."
Before he could hang up though I made him promise to let me know what they found out. I don't know if I can trust that promise though. He's kept stuff from me before and this sounded like it could be pretty big.
Since this was my skip, I decided to stick around for the investigator. Surprisingly, he wasn't either someone I knew from the burb or someone I could pump for information. He did tell me dryly that he had heard of my reputation and that I could just stay away from what he was doing since it was really delicate. He did have the cutest British accent, but really there was no need to mention my reputation. Since I wasn't able to get any new info from him I decided to head back to Vinnie's and see if Connie had been able to dig up any new stuff about my skip.
When I got to Vinnie's there was a male I didn't know flirting with Connie and Lulu and doing a good job with it too. He had both of them laughing and smiling at him. He didn't really look like anything special from the back but when he turned around there was the shock, he was missing an eye. He was decent looking I noticed, but nothing to get me going when compared to Morelli or Ranger. When Connie noticed I had arrived she introduced me to him. Apparently his name was Xander and that he would be working with me to find out what had happened to Faith.
