The gang was thoroughly involved in their game. Anya and Willow had long since been out. Oz was in the middle of trying to come up with enough to pay Xander. And Buffy was enjoy the fact that monopoly had been going on for about five hours. Buffy grabbed the dice and rolled. Oz was officially defeated. She was in the middle of paying Xander when Chris walked in. "Ah monopoly, is she cheating yet?"

Buffy let out a shocked gasp. "I would never!"

Xander snorted, "I was wondering how you stayed in the game." Which earned him a swift smack on the arm. "Oww, I was just kidding."

"Right." She said as she started picking up the game. "So what'd ya bring me?"

"Well you're one lucky girl." Placing a box on the table. "You've got the tapes from security, The shipping logs, the full reports, and if you need anything else let me know." Buffy quickly started handing tapes out to Anya, Xander, and Oz. Then she pulled out the files, she gave Willow the shipping logs, gave the corner's report to Chris. Who put his hands up, "Oh no sis. I already have to deal with this case all day at work, this is all yours now."

Buffy sighed, "Fine." Pointing to Anya, Xander, and Oz she said. "There's a TV in your room Oz. Xander you can have the living room, and Anya, you can use the-"

"One in the living room with Xander."

"Umm, No. You can use the one in Riley's room."

It was at that moment Riley finally said something, "Wait, hold on, time out." He looked around the room. "What is this?"

Before Buffy could respond Anya decided to do that for her. "We're trying to solve the museum case."

Duck tape. I should really learn to carry duck tape to tape her mouth shut! Buffy thought.

Riley looked at Buffy, "Why?"

She sighed, "Stumbled across some info and we're now on the case don't worry about it, it's Scooby business." Buffy grabbed the files and headed into the living room to sit on the couch next to Willow and Xander.

Riley followed, "Well I'm apart of the gang too now."

Buffy sighed, there was no easy honest answer, "This is the original Scooby gang stuff." At the look on his face she added, "No offence."

Sounding more and more like a whiny child who wasn't getting their way, "Anya's not part of the original group."

Buffy smiled. "I know, which is why I gave her the tapes from about 6 hours before the attack happened. I'm 99.9 sure she won't find anything but it'll keep her out of our hair for a few hours."

"So what do you want me to do?"

Buffy sighed. You know it'd be easier to read through this if he would just go away…damn I forgot to ask Chris. "Well do whatever you want your room has cable like all the other rooms, there's gotta be a game on or something. Or go out, L.A. is awesome at night. Hit the bar scene up or something."

This only made Riley frown more. "Ok, let me know if you need help." Buffy had quickly tuned him out and focused on the papers in front of her. "Hey Buffy, I love you."

She didn't even hear him, so she simply muttered, "Ahuh."

As soon as Riley had gone upstairs Willow elbowed the blonde slayer. Buffy gave her a questioning look, "What?"

"The tiny iron would take too long huh?" This cause the trio to bust up laughing before returning to their work.

Chris walked into the room and leaned against the edge. "Hey I think imma go to bed, been a long day, I have a meeting tomorrow around one. But stop bye my office if you find anything, actually just stop bye I'm going to need those files. But this time use the front entrance. Okay?"

Buffy laughed, "Ok. So who's your meeting with?"

Chris just smirked, "Get this, a P.I. who claims he was hired by the curator."

"Was he?"

"No, I called the curator, he said he hadn't hired anyone although he is now thinking about doing so. By the way apparently the guy's phone was on voice record when he was attacked. Techs are still going over it, but so far they could make out three names. "Jerry, Lyle, and Mark" it was said by a female, sounded young I'll see what I can do about getting the sound bites for you. Well again good night, and see you tomorrow."

Buffy made a quick note about what he said and hugged him goodnight.

"Are you gonna call Giles?" asked Willow without looking up from her file.

Buffy looked at the digital clock on the cable box, "Yeah, he might still be up." She walked into the kitchen and dial the familiar number. She waited for the watcher to answer.

"Erm, Hello?"

She smiled, "Hey Giles did I wake you?"

"No, I was just reading. How is L.A.?"

"Oh you know the same, sun, shopping, vampires breaking into the museum."

"Ah, so it was vampires."

"Yeah, we don't really know anything yet, but we're officially on the case, so just thought we'd keep you in the loop."

"Alright, well when you find anything to go on let me know."

"Alright, well back to the research party. Talk to you later."

"Alright, goodnight Buffy."

"Bye." Buffy hung up the phone and walked out to the living room. Willow snapped her head up.

"Was he up?"

Buffy sat back in her spot, "Yeah, I told him we're on the case. We have to call him when we find something to go on."

Willow nodded her head and went back to the files in her hand.

Sorry next chappy will have to wait till I wake up around 2 or 3, and after I pick up my little brother. But I promise it's to be here tonight!
