Chapter 12- The Plan
Buffy watched Riley as she took a sip of her latte.
"So erm… what are you doing now?" Buffy put down her cup.
"I'm…"
**Flashback**
Earlier that morning.
"Finn."
"Yes sir."
"I believe you have met the slayer?"
"Yes sir. I'm having coffee with her this afternoon."
"Good, good." Dr Stone nodded thoughtfully. "This is very good. She could be a useful part of our plans."
"Why?"
"Slayer strength."
Riley was silent.
"Lure her back to us."
"Is that an order sir?"
"Yes. We must carry on the plans."
"Yes sir."
"That will be all Finn."
Riley turned and marched out of the large laboratory.
**Present day**
"I'm just… doing some stuff for the military."
"So have you heard anymore from The Initiative?"
"Um… no." Riley nervously took a gulp of his coffee.
"So they're definitely you know. Poof."
"Yeah." Riley nodded. "So what are you doing tonight?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"You wanna go out? You don't have to."
"Yeah, it'll be fun." Buffy smiled.
"You know any good clubs?"
"Well… there is the Caritas. It's own by… a friend. A karioke bar."
"I'm not too good at singing." Riley laughed.
"You don't have to sing."
"So… I'll so you tonight. I gotta go." Buffy stood up.
"Right. I'll see you there around seven?"
Buffy nodded. "Bye."
As soon as Buffy was out of sight, Riley pulled out his phone and punched some numbers.
"Dr Stone? Finn. What do I have to do?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Well I think they're planning to carry on some sort of plans." Wesley rubbed his temples.
"I think we get that." Angel sighed.
Fred looked nervously at Darla who was seated next to her. Darla had her head on the table. Darla raised her head and growled. Fred shifted in her seat.
"Hey, hey, you leave my girl alone." Gunn put a protective arm around his girlfriend.
"I'm so hungry." Darla moaned.
"Let's take a break already." Faith batted at a book in front of her.
Wesley nodded.
"Thank you God!" Faith threw up her hands.
Darla stood up and stretched.
"I'm hungry. Anyone wanna offer me some blood?"
Fred whimpered.
"Pigs blood." Faith grabbed Darla's arm. "C'mon."
Darla rolled her eyes. "That stuff tastes like crap."
"Yeah well."
"Get me some too."
"Get it yourself soul boy."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Riley stood in silence outside Dr Stone's office. He looked up as the door opened.
"Finn. I believe your plans with the Slayer have gone well?"
"Yes sir."
"Good. I need to talk to you in private." Dr Stone jabbed his head in the direction of his office.
Riley followed Dr Stone obediently into his office and took a seat.
"So… What you know?"
"She is… involved with a vampire. A souled vampire by the name of Angel."
"She is, is she?"
"Yes."
"Did she suspect anything?"
"No sir."
"Good." Dr Stone thought for a moment. "Lure her back here. Maybe not tonight but soon."
"Yes sir."
"And this." Dr Stone handed Riley a small packet of white powder.
"What is it?"
"If you're losing her, put it in her drink."
"It's a drug?" Riley looked over the packet.
"Yes."
Riley nodded.
"And be careful. We don't want her knowing our plans, now do we?"
"No sir. Is that all?"
"Yes you may go now. And… good luck Finn."
