Feedback: Please and be honest. Buffy yelled up the stairs, "You have a phone call."

"Got it!" Willow yelled back, "Hello?"

"What's wrong?' Xander asked Buffy.

"Some guy calling for Willow." she replied tossing him more books, "Research, now."

"What kind of demon are we looking for?" Xander asked when he heard a scream come from upstairs.

"What the hell? Will?" Buffy yelled rushing up the stairs. Xander followed, a stake in hand.

In Willow's room, they saw her jumping up and down. "Will, what's wrong?" Xander asked looking around the room.

"What's going on?" Buffy asked.

"That, that was my cousin," Willow said excitedly, "He's had a rough time at work and he wants to come and visit. I haven't seen him in years!"

"Oookay." Buffy replied not sure where Willow's happiness was all about, "And where is he going to
stay?"

"Oh, not here. Don't worry." Willow smiled.

"Which cousin is it?" Xander asked, "Is it the computer guy?"

"Yep, my parents would send me to his house for a month ever summer." Willow explained, "Well, until he went away to the academy."

"Um, hate to burst any bubbles here," Buffy said, "but does he know about, well the weird things that go on around here?"

"No," Willow replied, her smile disappearing.

"Don't worry," Xander said patting Willow's hand, "we'll make sure everything seems normal."

"Easy for you to say Xander," Buffy complained, "try to make the Hellmouth look normal."

"It'll work out." Willow nodded.

"Let's us know when you get settled in your cousin's place." Monica ordered handing Cody his ticket.

Cody was having a hard time adjusting to the fact he had to fire his weapon in the line of duty. Everyone knew it was a clean shoot, but OIG had to investigate. It was routine.

Two days after the shooting, Donovan called Monica in and requested she profile Cody. In her report, she said Cody was handling everything fine. She also recommended he go on a vacation.

Donovan stood to the side and watched as Jake, Monica and Alex said their good-byes to Cody. He knew the feelings Cody was going through, sort of. He knew what it felt like to take a human life, but that was expected in his line of work. CIA, NSA and now FBI. When Cody joined the FBI, he never thought there would be a day he would have to pull his weapon and shoot it, much less take a life.

Donovan walked up to Cody and shook his hand. "I'll call you if, if we need you to come back early." Donovan said. Earlier in the week Donovan demanded from Agent Quinn, Paul Bloom's replacement, that his team needed a month off to recover from the Walker case. In fact, his words were 'Do not call my team unless it's a direct Presidential order.' His team was put through too much in the last year since he was in charge. They all needed a vacation.

"Check in every couple of days." Donovan ordered.

"So much for a vacation." Cody smirked.

"For my own sanity," Donovan smiled, "I want to know if you're okay."

"Hey!" Cody replied shocked, "You do care."

"Of course I do." Donovan huffed, hurt that his team thought he didn't care about their well-being.

"Hey Cody, isn't this the cousin whose class blew up the high school?" Jake asked, trying not to laugh as Donovan choked on his coffee.

"Blew up their high school?" Donovan repeated.

"Uh, yea." Cody replied, "I wasn't able to make it to the graduation due to work. Someone slipped acid or something to the graduating class. Long story short, they thought a huge snake was going to destroy the town and that blowing up the school was the way to kill it."

"And this is the place you want to vacation at?" Donovan asked, worried about his choice now.

"Yea, haven't seen Willow since I went to the academy." Cody smiled, thinking of his brainy cousin. "She could give me a run for the money in the hacking department. Taught her everything she knows."

"Just don't go blowing things up." Donovan laughed as Cody's boarding call was announced. "Relax and have fun."

"Get a tan." Monica laughed hugging him.

"Go surfing," Alex smiled.

They waved as they watched Cody walk pass the security check point. "Don't even think of having her hack into my file!" Donovan yelled after him. Everyone started to laugh.
