Chapter 26
The group seemed content to look out the windows as they traveled.
"I know where we are!" shouted Hodgins. "This is Sunnydale! It is one of the biggest cover-ups in recent history. It was the site of some government facility that they blew up to destroy what ever was there. Some were saying that it was another Area 51 deal."
"The dude has no idea how right he is," muttered Faith.
"Please don't egg him on," said Cam.
But the group was fascinated by the result of the explosion.
"So what are you doing way out here?" asked Angela.
"It is a little hard to explain. I will let Giles and the others explain it when we get there,"
"And where exactly are we going?" asked Cam. "These buildings don't exactly look he safest."
"The place we are going is quite safe. We should be there in another minute or so," said Buffy.
The group stared out at the old, decrepit town. Angela was the first to realize where they were staying as Faith pulled into the old cemetery.
"Sweetie! You just can't stay away from dead bodies can you?
"You have no idea," muttered Faith, adding to the squints confusion.
Angela ignored Faith's comment, though she made a note to ask Brennan about it later. "Are we seriously staying in the cemetery?"
"For now it is the best place to house our operation. And it is the safest place in the area, for everyone involved," replied Buffy.
"And everything," Faith once again said under her breath. "And we are here!" She turned off the car, quickly jumping out and heading for the mausoleum.
Angela pulled Brennan aside as they were getting out of the car. " Sweetie, this is a strange group of people you are associating with. What is going on?"
"I think Booth is the best one to explain," Brennan replied as followed Buffy and lead the others into the mausoleum.
"Welcome," said the older British gentleman who was walking around with his nose in a book. "You must be Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth's associates. Rupert Giles."
"Dr. Camille Saroyan. This is Dr. Jack Hodgins, Angela Montenegro and Dr. Lance Sweets. Can you tell us what is going on here Mr. Giles?"
"I think I should do that Camille," said Booth as he stepped out from behind one of the divider curtains. "Hey guys. I think you are going to need to sit down for this one." The squints looked at him puzzled.
Cam and Angela looked at each other. Something was different about Booth. He was paler and though he didn't appear to be physically different, he gave off a dangerous vibe.
"Booth, what is going on?" Cam asked as they sat down. The rest of the squints nodded.
"It is hard to explain. It all started in 1753 in Galway, Ireland. . ." The Squints sat their in silence as Booth told them his story.
"So how does this Angelus/Angel guy fit into what is going on here assuming that I believe in vampires?" asked Cam.
"Because I am Angel."
