"Thank you Magic Box shoppers for understanding that the store will be
closing early tonight. Please make your final selections and check out."
Buffy called above the din of the busy store. "I almost hate to close when
business is this good," She confided to Willow.
"Me two" Willow agreed. "But we can't miss Brian's marking, especially since it's here."
"Excuse me," A vampire waiting at the check out line caught their attention, "Forgive my impertinence, but you're my only hope in finding her. This mark you have on the cash register." He pointed at the Mark of Aurelius. "What does it mean? Exactly how many women wear the mark?"
"Why?" Both women asked curiously.
"Because I've been looking for the woman that looks like you and bares the mark. I have been looking everywhere for her since she left me the night we made love. Please I must find her."
^^^^^^^^^^^^
"He said what" Tom asked.
"He said a girl with the Mark of Aurelius had sex with him." Willow explained again.
"Oh and suddenly I'm the lead suspect."
"You're the only woman besides your mom and Cordy with the mark. Besides he said she looked like your mom."
"Hey I believe Tom, if she said she didn't sleep with this guy." Connor exclaimed.
"Thank you honey, at least one person in this room isn't giving me the 'you evil whore' look, even though I've only had sex once with Max, and I realized that was probably a mistake."
"Of course you didn't tell any of us about Max, and I've only been connected to you for a few days, you usually go for vampires, and what do you mean probably." Connor continued.
"Look" Tom said before Connor could start a fight, "It's very simple, bring this guy in and he'll prove my innocence."
"Well he's outside." Willow sighed, "If you're sure you want him to confirm if it was you."
"That is not the girl I met, as I said, she looked like you." He told Willow. "I didn't quite catch her name, but I think it was Violet."
"Me two" Willow agreed. "But we can't miss Brian's marking, especially since it's here."
