The Champions Volume 2 chapter 2

I own nothing!!!

Xander and Peter stepped into the darkened alleyway. Xander looked around. "You sure meeting here is a good idea?" Peter only shrugged. "Hey Pete." Peter grumbled as Bernie walked into the alleyway. "Before you ask I have an address for you. Where's my money?" Peter grumbled again and handed over a hundred dollor bill. "Address."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xander and Peter walked out of the house. The address Bernie gave them was a bust. "Your snitch sucks." Peter glared at Xander. "We don't know that. I'll have a stakeout set up." Xander shrugged. "Go ahead. But the guy is smart. He won't come back." Peter nodded grudinly. "Yeah. But better safe than sorry." Then Xander felt it. For only a split second the BUZZ seemed to be in his head. Then it was gone. Xander looked around quickly. Peter noticed this. "What?" Xander looked around and shook his head. "Nothing. Just fell like we're being watched." Little did he know they were. And that the man they were looking for had just found his next target.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isabel sat at Peter Caine's desk waiting for Xander. A woman walked up to the desk. "Who are you and where is Detective Caine?" Isabel smiled. "I'm just a friend. I was told i could wait for him here." Captain Karen Simms gave Isabel a tight lipped frown. "Usually we don't allow this." Just then Peter and another young man walked into the room. "Captain. Isabel." Xander nodded hello to the Captain and to Isabel. "Who is this Detective?" Peter looked at Xander. "This is Xander Harris. He's helping me with the guillitine case." Captain Simms was about to voice more questions when her phone rang. "I need to speak with you later Detective." Peter only noded and sat at his desk. "So we're back were we started." Xander sighed and sat beside Isabel. "What now?" Peter sighed. "We could always talk to Kermit." Something jogged in Xander's memories. Or rather the memories Xander aquired from other immortals. "Yeah. That sounds like a good idea." What are the odds? Xander thought to himself as he followed Peter into a side office. Isabel behind them.

~~~~~~~~~~

Xander found out that the odds weren't as far apart as he had hoped. "Who are they Pete?" Peter pointed to Xander. "Xander Harris. Isabel Evans. There helping me with the Guillitine Case." Kermit Griffin nodded. Xander noticed the glasses. "Merc." Kermit went for his pistol as Xander raised his hands. "Woah. Glasses man. Big tip off. Although I thought they were all dead." Kermit relaxes slightly. His hand moved from his Desert Eagle. "How do you know about that?" Xander lowers his hands and chuckles. "Been on a run or two myself." Peter not really understanding what there talking about breaks in. "Look Kermit. We need you to find any other similiar murders in the last.. 5 years." Kermit nods. Xander sighs. This is going to be a long list. Kermit begins typing. "Only in the U.S.?" Peter nods. "Yeah. If we don't find anyting we'll go global." Kermit nods. "This could take awhile. Go do something." Xander and Peter chuckle and walk out of the office. "Oh and Pete! Watch your back." Peter nods mostly to himself. From anyone else he would have took that as a threat. But with Kermit it was only a warning. Kind of like normal friends saying 'be careful'. "Sure Kermit."

~~~~~~~~~

Xander and Isabel sat at a diner booth. Isabel notices Xander's far off look. "Whats wrong?" Xander looks up. "Huh? Oh. This is just familiar. I think I need to call in a friend." Isabel only shrugged in response. Xander continued eating in silence.

Xander walked into the Metro Division precinct the next morning. He walked into Kermit's office quickly. Kermit seemed nervous around him but Xander just smiled. "How do you know?" Xander sighed. "You wouldn't believe me. Lets just say i'm glad one of you are still around. You pissed off alot of my enemies." Kermit chuckled. If someone had heard this conversation. They would have took one look at Kermit and thought the two were crazy. But as the saying goes. Looks can be deceving. Kermit wanted a little more of an answer though. "You'd be suprised what I'd believe." Xander smirked. "Vampires." Kermit nodded. "Met a couple in Peru a few years ago." Xander chuckled. " I'd tell you the story. But its not entirly mine to tell." This Kermit understood. And he decided to let it pass. If one thing being a soldier helped destroy curiosity was in the top ten. Peter walked in a few minutes later. "Xander. What have we got Kermit?" Kermit sighed and hit a button bringing a file on his screen. "There have been almost one hundred beheadings in the U.S.A. the past year." Peter blinked twice. Xander spoke up next. "How many had the chest wound?" Kermit smiled. "Nine. The four here and five more around the country." Xander nodded. "Same guy then. Have any of the murders happened in small towns?" Kermit nodded. "Yeah. Two. Both in Montana. Why?" Xander looked deep in thought. "Check the motel registry the date of the murders. See if any names match or come close to matching." Kermit nodded. "I'll get right on it. But this could take awhile." Xander and Peter both nodded. Xander finally broke the silence. "Take your time. I'm going to call in an expert." Kermit and Peter looked at eachother as Xander walked out of the office. Kermit finally yelled at Xander's back. "An expert on what?!"

Xander stood outside the Metro Divison HQ cellphone in hand. "Hey Duncan. Put the old man on the phone." Duncan laughed. "Hello to you to Xander. Here's Methos." Xander chuckled as Methos took the phone. "What?" Xander sighed. "I need your help." Methos chuckled. "Of course you do. Thats the only time you call. Quite frankly i'm offended." Xander couldn't help but smile. "I'll invite you over at Christmas. Look I'm helping the demon's champion. Who is a human cop by the way solve a murder. Here's all we know.........."

Hahaha. Cliffy. Okay not really. What is the killers motive? You tell me. No really tell me what you think in the reviews. I wanna see who gets it. I think its farely obvious. anyway. Review.
