(Chapter-13)
It's been three weeks since they started to search for the Al-Qaeda Terrorests. They've even had the C.I.A., F.B.I. Secret Service and other Law Enforcement Agenices out looking for them. But every where they turn they keep hitting a stone wall of nothing. It like all the leads they get are designed to lead them on a wild goose chase. Faith had been getting pissed for the past two days, and everybody knew she was going to snap if another lead comes up bad.
Buffy came in from the Communications Center with the news she knew that would send Faith over the edge.
Buffy slowly walked up to Faith and handed her the print out, "It's another dead end."
Faith read the print out and snapped she grabbed a chair and tossed it through a window, "Damn it Buffy, for three weeks we've been trying to track that Terrorest Cell and been getting nothing. For crying out loud their right here in our own town. How in the hell can they keep themselves hidden to where we can't even track them?"
Faith was about to break and do something that she hasn't done since she was married and since the birth of her and Buffy's daughter a few years ago, and that was cry.
Buffy asked everybody to clear the room, but she then decided to let them take an early lunch. She then took Faith into her arms and told her to let it go.
Faith couldn't hold the pain of failing in any longer and broke down and cried as Buffy led her over to a couch and the two sat down, she held Faith as she and whispered words of love to her.

Mean while at old building the Terrorest were using the six men were all on their prayer rugs facing East and having prayer. They knew the person that was helping them from being tracked was due to arrive in an hour. So they set up a small feast to show their gratitude and thanks. Just as they finished their prayers and had put away their prayer rugs the said person walked into the building.
The leader of the group walked up to her took her in his arm and greeted her, "tahiat tayibat ya aibnatu 'ahsant (Translation: Greetings daughter you have done well)."
She looked up at the man, "sa'afeal 'aya shay' min 'ajlikum wallah li'iihdar almawt waldamar lihula' alkufaar (Translation: I will do anything for you and Allah to bring death and destruction to these infidels)."
"wayajib 'an takun aibnatan , walakun alan laqad 'aedadna walimatan saghiratan litakrimik waleamal aldhy taqum bih (Translation: And you shall daughter, but for now come we have prepared a small feast to honor you and the work you do)." he guided her to the setting and they all sat gave thanks the food and began eating.

Back at the school Piper was getting some infromation that might help find the person or persons who might be helping in concealing the Terrorests location, (Talking on the phone), "You have got to be kidding?...(I'm not kidding Piper, the spell is Leprechaun. It's a spell they use to conceal their gold and other valubles. And it originates there at the school's Utilities Building)...Are you sure the spells are being done from that location?...(Positive)...Damn right under our own noses, thanks Charlie I owe ya big on this one." Piper hung the phone up and ran to the new Operations Building.

Back at the warehouse where the Terrorest are the leader looked at a small neckless his daughter was wearing, "hadha hu qiladat jamilat , wayabdu 'ana wahidatan kanat walidatik (Translation: This is a lovely necklace, it looks like the one your mother had)."
His daughter took the neckless in hand, "'iinah 'abun , 'aetath al'umu li qaylana 'iinah sawf yamnahuni alhzana li'ada' wajbati tujah allh. 'artadiha litadhkiri bialmanzil (Translation: It is father, mother gave it to me saying that it will give me luck to fulfill my duties to Allah. I wear it to remind me of home)."
Her father smiled, "walidatik tufakir daymana fi alakhirin qabl 'an tufakir fi nafsiha (Translation: Your mother always thinks of others before she thinks of herself)."
The entire group laughed and continued eating.
Back at the school Piper ran into the Operations Center and she looked around and found Faith and Buffy sitting on the sofa, "Faith, Buffy I think you two need to see this. I just got off the phone with a tracker that owed me a favor and he discovered this." Piper handed the paper to Faith who then sat up to read it.
Faith looked at Piper, "You have got to be kidding me? You ain't doing this to make me feel better are you? Cause if you are Piper, I'll kick your ass all the way back to San Francisco."
Piper just smiled, "No Faith it's no joke, the spell that's keeping the Terrorest hidden is originating from right here at the school. Charlie said it's in the location of the Utilities Building. He said this spell is also no ordinary spell, this one is used by Leprechauns to conceal their gold and other valubles."
Faith stood up, "Is there a way to counter the spell?"
Piper was bouncing like she had ants in her pants, "Yep, all we have to do is find the Leprechaun who made this spell and get him to lift it."
Faith had that look in her eyes again, "How do we do that?"
Piper sat down, "All we have to do is call him and when he appears we grab him by his beard and then he has to do what we say."
Faith looked at the paper and was about to read the Leprechaun's name when Piper stopped her, "Don't say the name, you do that and we're not ready. He can easily get away. We need to set things up so when we do call out his name, we'll be able to catch him."
Faith and Buffy looked at Piper and asked at the same time, "They're that tricky?"
Piper nodded, "Yes they are, I know from first hand experence. We'll need to Page, Phoebe, Tara and Willow together to do this right."
Faith set down next to Buffy, "When should we start?" Piper leaned foward as soon as we get the others and get them over to the Utilities Building.
Faith looked at Buffy with a long awaited smile on her face, "Lets do it."
