Part 10 Flight
The flight to Mexico had been swift. The two teams got off and the heat hit them. Buffy sighed and enjoyed the warmth. She had been spending way too much time in the northern part of America and Europe lately. The heat of Mexico was a welcome relief. She looked around and smiled as she spotted a tall brunette.
"This way, our ride is here."
Gibbs growled. He was clearly not happy that they would not be gaining their own transportation. However he also knew that time was of the essence. He followed Buffy over to the tall young woman who was clearly waiting for them.
"Hey Buffy, I'm glad you made it in one piece."
"Yeah it was a decent flight for once."
Dawn laughed at that. "We have the cars over here. "
Gibbs came up to them and asked."Cars?"
"Yeah, we figured we would need more than one. Plus I figured that you might like your own set of wheels."
Gibbs almost smiled at that. Maybe this would not be as bad as he thought.
"Plus we so did not want to be cramped, cramped in with a grumpy Buffy so not of the good."
Buffy playfully smacked her sister as Gibbs smile faded.
"What about the Air Force people are they here yet?"
"Well they weren't as of half an hour ago. But, Giles said they would likely be here soon. It seems they have some special transportation arrangements too."
Buffy nodded not sure she liked that idea. "Is Giles coming?"
"Yes and he's bringing her. I don't think he will be here until tomorrow at the earliest. They had to tie some things up and arrange for Robinson to step in while Giles is out of London. You know to make sure the world doesn't end while we look for Sam and Riley."
Buffy nodded but Gibbs frowned. "What about Xander?"
"Giles has recalled him. He will be staying with Robinson to help. You know he got hurt in that last pickup. He's supposed to be on medical leave but, you know how he is. This may be a good thing though because he can help Robinson and feel useful."
Buffy nodded. Xander always did try to do more than he should. She loved him for it but it did make her worry. Of course having him in London would be a relief. He could heal and still feel useful. Plus if she was honest the slayers that would come with him would help keep a lid on the city. She almost pitied the local vamps. Xander's slayers from Africa were very efficient at slaying vampires and demons.
