Chapter 12
"The police searched all over town and there's no sign of David or Emily. They asked around too and no one even saw anything about a young girl get taken. He obviously made sure that there were no witnesses." Robin told everyone when he got off the phone.
"There has to be something else we can do." Xander said and Buffy looked up at him suddenly getting an idea.
"There is, I think I know of a way." Buffy said as she stood up and went to grab her jacket. She also went into Emily's room for something and tried not to wake up the kids. She came out and headed to the front door. "I'll be back as soon as I can. I'll take the cell phone; let me know if the police call back with more news." Buffy told them as she headed to the door when Spike stopped her.
"You want me to go with you?" Buffy shook her head.
"Stay here with the others, I can handle it." She said as she kissed him and walked out of the house. Buffy walked into the demon bar and looked around until she saw who she was looking for. She sometimes came here to get information. It reminded her of Willy's back when she lived in Sunnydale. She put on her best smile and walked over to a mysterious dark haired man in nothing but black sitting by himself. She really had to learn to socialize with people that knew about colors. Buffy cleared her throat to get his attention and he looked up at her.
"Buffy, I should have known you would show up eventually. My day was going too well." Buffy glared at him.
"It's nice to see you too, Benny. Is that a new haircut, it really works on you." She said.
"Oh, now you're sucking up. This must be important. So, what can I help you with this time?" Buffy sat down next to him before she spoke.
"I need your help in finding an old boyfriend of mine." This brought a smile to Benny's face.
"Trouble in paradise, always knew Spike wasn't good enough for you. So much so that you're resulting in looking up an ex." Buffy sighed.
"It's not like that. I need to find him because he took my daughter and when I find him I'll find her." She told him, hoping that he would help. Buffy met Benny years ago when he saved her life from a demon that she was having trouble with. He was a powerful Warlock and could find anyone as long as he had something of theirs to go on. He doesn't use his powers for evil anymore and has always helped her whenever she came to him. She guessed it was because he still had a crush on her, but she didn't care as long as he helped her. He has proven himself to be a good ally, but still managed to piss her off occasionally.
"Oh, sorry to hear about that. Do you have something of hers?" Buffy nodded and took a black scrunchy out of her pocket. Emily used to always wear it and she found it in one of her drawers. She handed it to him.
"Will this do?" She asked as he took the scrunchy from her.
"Yes, this should work. It'll take a little while; I'll call you when I find something." Buffy nodded and got up.
"Thank you, Benny. Please find her." Benny nodded as Buffy left.
"Anything for you." He whispered when she was gone and then got up to get to work. He had a girl to find.
