A/N Realistically I know that it wouldn't take the length of this chapter to get from Giles' place to the library, but let's just say they ran into a lot of traffic lights. It's a short chapter…as all the Giles' chapters have been and doesn't include a lot of reflecting. But review newayz!

CHAPTER 18

REFLECTING- THE WATCHER

" Wesley, you're late!" Giles yelled at the young British man that had just entered Giles' apartment.

" Sorry Mr. Giles, I got lost." Wesley Wyndham-Pryce replied embarrassingly.

" Lost? Did you get those texts I asked for?" Giles asked hastily.

" Yes, the Gabba and the Coliath. The Magic Box charged them for a hefty deal. Someone else should run that shop with better bargains." Wesley replied snootily. Giles perked up and smirked.

" Yes, someone should. Now, do you know if these do in fact have passages about futurus demons? I only requested them because I was informed by a source." Giles asked as he grabbed a few books of his shelf and placed them in his bag.

" No, unfortunately I don't know. The passages are not translated. They are in some ancient language." Wesley replied as he absently flicked through some pages.

" That means much more research than action." Giles grumbled.

" Mr. Giles, I am still not fully informed of why this research party is being arranged. What is a futurus demon? Why are we to research it?" Wesley asked.

" Wesley, I'll tell you on the way. Buffy and the others are waiting for us in the library. We're late." Giles ordered as he picked up his car keys and some of the books.

" Late? Oh dear!" Wesley responded as he quickly gathered the other books and followed Giles out to the car. Moments later the two were seated and off towards the library.

" Mr. Giles, perhaps now is the appropriate time to inform me of the details." Wesley spoke up.

" Yesterday afternoon, we encountered a type of futurus demon in the library during a meeting…" Giles began.

" We?" Wesley interrupted, a somewhat angry expression on his face.

" Yes. Buffy, Angel, Cordelia and the others."

" Why was I not informed of this 'meeting'?" Wesley asked.

" Wesley, I just wanted to know about Buffy's patrolling."

" That isn't your duty anymore, if you haven't forgotten. You're not Buffy's watcher anymore, I am. I should have been there."

" If you were then you would also be in the preposterous situation!" Giles retorted.

" What situation?" Wesley asked.

" If you had let me finished, you would know that the future demon cursed us with some form of pink mist. I'm not sure, but I believe the mist gave us these visions."

" Visions? Visions of what?"

" Visions of the future."

" Really?" Wesley said surprisingly.

" Last night, my dreams were tainted with these visions. The whole night I saw parts of my future. I saw who I would become. What I would do. I saw it all and to be honest Wesley, I did not like it." Giles stated.

" What happened?"

" I don't want to discuss it." Giles replied. He really didn't want to be blurting out how he had abandoned those he loved in crisis to Wesley.

" So, research is in order." Wesley spoke up.

" I believe so."

" Then step on it." Wesley declared with a small smile as Giles drove faster.
