AUTHOR'S NOTE: Anyone ever wonder exactly how the Mayor got Faith off the truck?
"Oh my God! Faith!" Richard stood at the back of the truck bed, staring at her body just lying there. His fallen Slayer, bleeding from the stomach and the head. It didn't look good.
Adam climbed onto the truck and touched her arm. "She's got a pulse, but it's weak."
"Quick! Call an ambulance!" Richard yelled in a panicked voice.
"No time boss!" Leon said as he came out from the driver's seat of the truck. "Hop on, I'll drive."
"No, no, it's too dirty and dingy. God knows where it's been. Besides, we won't be able to explain this."
"I've called 911, they're on their way." another vamp said as he came out of the building and joined his leader.
"Thank you Carl. It's help like you that makes this all seem worthwhile." A couple of his minions lifted her off the truck and put her on the ground. Richard neared her but he didn't dare touch her - too many germs. He looked at her with a strange sense of adoration. He didn't love her, he wasn't capable of love, not for anyone but himself. He wouldn't say it aloud, but he knew Faith's little escapade could ruin his Ascension, and he hated her for that.
He disappeared into the building when he heard the sirens wailing down the street. After all, he couldn't very well be seen at the site of a crime like this, could he? It wouldn't be good for his image.
He watched from the window of his office as they hurled her onto a stretcher and rushed her away. "She'd better live." he said through clenched teeth. "She'd better not ruin my Ascension."
