I would like to state I do not own either Haven or Buffy the Vampire Slayer
A different kind of Haven
Summary: As Buffy is standing on the bus terminal, she is looking at her future destinations. She sees a place that makes her think it will be a nice calm, peaceful place to settle in. None other than Haven, Maine.
Previously: "Thank you very much Becky. We will see you then. Here is my number. Can you give me a call when the test is finished?" Joyce asked.
"Of course I can. Do you want me to give you a call too, Garland?" The principal asked the Chief.
"Yes, please do. We will be waiting to hear from you." Garland said, as the duo walked out of the office.

A/N: This is my first story and I am looking for any type of feedback. Please let me know with a review if you like the story. On with the show.
Chapter 24
Once Buffy and Mr. Aryans entered the empty classroom, the teacher began to talk.
"Will this be alright for you to take the test?" Mr. Aryans asked Buffy.
"Yep, this place will work just fine. How long will this take? Is it like the IQ test that I took before I left L.A.? It lasted for like 14 hours. The best part during that was the 30 minute breaks that we had. I mean I was only 14. It was like torture making me sit for that long, doing all that work. I didn't even get a cookie. What kind of people do that to a kid?" Buffy asked.
"I didn't know that you took an IQ test. Was it in your file?" The teacher asked.
"Not sure. I doubt that it would be in the file from Sunnydale. The principal there really disliked me for some reason, but I am not sure about the one from Hemery. I know that my mom had the results of it. Not sure if she brought them with her though. This move was a bit spontaneous on her part. Even on my part. When I first got here, I didn't know what I was going to do. Then I found out that I had a father and a brother. I really miss school, and being involved in team sports. My brother pointed out that the school here had some of my favorite sports, so here I am." Buffy finished her ramble.
"Do you happen to know what your test results were?" Mr. Aryans asked Buffy.
"I think that they said it was like, 172 or something like that. All I know is that the school was asking my mom and Hank to skip me a couple grades. That was when all my trouble started, I guess. Anyways, let's get to edumacating me." Buffy said to change the subject.
"All right. I promise not to dock you points for that grammar slip up. Please set your lunch bag on the desk and have a seat. This is the first section. It covers all of the High School years worth of Language Arts and Grammatical English. It should take up to two hours. Take your time and don't rush. Begin now. If you need to pause to use the restroom, just let me know to pause the clock and hold your test." Mr, Aryans said, as he started the timer clock on the front desk.
Meanwhile with the Parents
"Garland you could just drop me off in town. I need to see about purchasing some real estate. I am going to transfer my Art Gallery here. Buffy wants to stay here, so I am going to stay here. The bad thing is, is that we should have come back allot sooner. I am so sorry that I left you alone to raise Nathan. I wish that I never had met Hank Summers. I was feeling so trapped in this small town, and I knew that you never would have left with me. He promised me all of the grand adventures that I wanted. A big city with bright lights. It was the biggest mistake of my existence. I will try my best to make it up to you and Nathan." Joyce finished in near tears.
"I have missed you every single day that you have been gone. I have been hoping that you would find your way back to us. I think that we should take this one step at a time. Do you know where you are going to be staying?" Garland asked Joyce.
"Yeah, I do. The Council that is running the Slayer organization, is getting a house today as a matter of fact, for Mr. Giles and myself. He is there right now as a matter of fact. I will give him a call after I have found a building to transfer my gallery to. I believe that at the weekend, Buffy and I will need to take a trip to California to gather the rest of our belongings. I plan to stay here for a long time. Do you want to come with us to pick up our stuff?" Joyce asked to Garland, just as his radio went off.
"Chief, are you there? Please come in, over?" The radio voice that sounded like Mary said.
"10-4 Copy. This is the Chief. What is going on over?" The Chief asked.
"Sir there is an FBI Agent here. She is requesting to talk to you now, over" Mary said over the radio again.
"10-4 Copy. I will be there as soon as I drop off Joyce at the realtors. Who is this Agent?" Garland asked Mary.
"Copy Chief. The Agents name is Audrey Parker. I will have her wait in the waiting room for your return." Mary stated.
"Copy that. Mary if the school calls, please let me know. On my way. Over and out." Garland said as he finished the radio call.
"Work calls Joyce. I will see you soon. Give me a call when you hear from the school too. I will pick you up, and we will head back to find out the results. I will let you know about this weekend. Be safe." Garland said as Joyce got out of the car.
"Goodbye Garland. I will talk to you later. You be safe also." Joyce said as she closed the door to the car, and watched as he drove away.
As Joyce made her way in to the realtors office, Garland made his way to the Police Station.
Once Garland made it to the Station, he parked his car in his spot.
Once he made it inside, he looked to his left and noticed a young woman sitting there reading a book.
"Can I help you with anything Mam?" Garland asked as he walked up to the obvious FBI Agent.
"Yes you can, if you are Chief Warnous." Agent Parker replied.
"It is your lucky day Mam. What can I do for you today?" Garland asked again hoping to get an answer.
"Do you think that we could go into your office, Chief? What we need to discuss is considered Classified." Agent Parker asked.
"Of course Agent, this way please." Garland stated as they began to walk to the back office.
"Thank you Chief." Agent Parker said.
"Not a problem. Now, what can Haven P.D. Do for the FBI today?" The Chief asked agent Parker.
"I am here searching for an escaped convict by the name of Max Hansen. In my search I had found that Haven is his home town. I was hoping for some assistance in tracking him down here. I have reason to believe that he is making his way here to settle an old debt." Agent Parker stated.
"Well, that is a name I have not heard in quite a while. Last I heard he was on death row." Garland said offhandedly.
"He was, however, he had filed for an appeal. When he was in transfer for trial, there was an earthquake that began that gave him time to make his hasty escape. He had killed two guards, and injured three others. For some reason, and don't ask me how or why, but I believe that he had already known that the earthquake was going to be there at that precise time. That, or that he even made it happen himself." Agent Parker stated.
"I am sorry Mam, but that sounds a tad bit on the loony side." Chief Warnous said, but at the same time not liking the fact that she was dead on with her thinking.
At that moment, a distant thought of a memory had entered his mind. He now remembered when he and the young Agent had first met. He couldn't believe that it was starting all over again.
THE TROUBLES WERE BACK
Meanwhile at the School
Buffy was now an hour into the test, and just sitting there bored.
Mr. Aryans was sitting at the front desk reading a book that he had brought, and had just looked up to see Buffy siting there tapping her pencil on her desk and looking out the window.
"I believe that your time would be better spent looking at the test in front of you, instead of looking out the window Miss. Summers." Mr. Aryans stated.
" I know Mr. Aryans, but I am finished with this part of the test Sir. I was just waiting for the time to run out." Buffy told the educator.
"Don't you want to check all of your answers before you turn it in?" Mr. Aryans asked Buffy.
"I already did Sir. I do not need any more time on this part. Can we please continue? I really want to finish in time for the tryouts Sir." Buffy asked.
"If you are sure. This next part covers World History. Past, Present, and also including a section just about American History. This time you will only have an hour and a half to finish this part. Any questions? No, Good. Begin now." Mr. Aryans said as he began the clock.
"Here we go again." Buffy said to herself.
Meanwhile back at the Station
"Alright Agent, what do you think we should do first?" Chief Warnous asked the Agent.
"When I was doing my research on Hansen, I noticed that he used to have a partner named Simon Crocker. I was thinking that we could talk with him. I was doing my best, but I was unable to find his recent address. Do you happen to know where he is living at now? Is he still here in Haven?" Agent Parker asked the Chief.
"That is something that we can not do. He had died a few years ago. He only Crocker left is his son Duke. What kind of relationship did those two have at the end?" The Chief asked Agent Parker.
"From my intelligence, not a very good one. I think that Hansen may be here to harm Duke Crocker. Now that I know that Crocker Sr. is dead. That may be the only lead we have right now. Can you take me to Crocker Jr. to see that he is alright?" Agent Parker asked.
"Yeah that is not a problem. We can always go from there with our planning. Let's head out." The Chief said, as he grabbed his coat and walked out of the office with the Agent following.
