"Alright, you all know the set-up, when we get to The Diner we go in as customers wait until she gets off work then we get her, she is using the alias of Anne"
"Any questions?" Michael finished
When no answer came Michael told the team to get suited up.
Michael and Nikita were going in as a couple; Mowen, Roger and Davenport were going in as friends meeting after work.
***The Diner***
Lily and Ricky sat in the corner of the table debating over their choice of what to eat while Anne looked on patiently.
"Can we get cake?" Lily asked Ricky
"No silly we gotta eat healthy" He said back to her
"Have you got pie?" Ricky asked Anne
"Umm we have a peach pie, can't guarantee there's a peach in it" She replied a bit bored
"We'll take it" Rick said putting his hand in his pocket and drawing out a handful of change and putting it on the table.
"Ok, I'll be back with your pie" Anne said making her way to the counter to fill the order, on the way a guy at one of the tables reached his hand out as he passed and patted her bottom, her first instinct was to turn around and rip his hand away from her bottom but then she remember she was at work.
After placing the order the bell above the door twinkled singling a customers arrival, glancing up she saw a couple obviously in love enter and sit down at table 5, she made her way over to them to give them menus.
"Thank you" said a husky feminine voice, Anne looked up startled as she put the menus down in front of them.
"Your welcome, I will be back in a few minutes to take your order"
Anne walked over to the counter and got the pie for table 2 where Ricky and Lily sat.
"Your peach pie, enjoy"
Anne walked back over to where the new comers sat at table 5 perking up a bit she asked if they were ready to order.
"Two coffees, and a piece of chocolate cake"
"I'll be back with everything in a minute"
Anne again made her way over to the counter and got the two coffees and the chocolate cake ready to be taken over to the table on a tray when she felt a familiar tingle run down her spine, but quickly dismissed the feeling because the only person who caused the reaction was out of her reach in hell, plus it was day even if he somehow got out of hell he would be a pile of ashes by now.
Dismissing him as an hallucination she around and picked up the tray and delivered it to table 5 and asked if they wanted anything else, when both answers came back negative she went and sat down at the counter.
Another twinkle of the bell over the door and Anne turned ready to greet the patron but as she turned she found she couldn't move for their in the streaming sunlight of the doorway stood the one person who was never far away in her thoughts. Angel.
He made his way over to her quickly when he got to her she stood up and would have fallen back down if he hadn't of caught her in a hug holding her steady.
She looked up at the person she had been both wanting and dreading seeing, her Angel the only man in her life who had a constant place in her heart.
"How?" Was the first thing she said.
"Willow she bought me back"
"Sheila I'm leaving I'll be back in the morning" Anne/Buffy yelled out
"Ok see you tomorrow Anne"
"Anne?" Angel questioned
"I didn't want anyone to find me until I was ready to be found, how did you find me?"
"If I was blind I would see you" Angel replied
They walked out the door hand in hand into the streaming sunlight.
Buffy turned around to face Angel "How come your not bursting into flames?"
"Willow did a spell so now I'm immune to it, I can walk in sunlight and I only have to feed about twice a month"
"Really, oh my god that is so cool" Buffy yelled flinging herself into her Angel's arms
"I love you" She whispered to him as he held her close.
"I love you too" He whispered back
"Always?" She questioned
"And forever" He answered
Michael and Nikita were inside The Diner watching the couple talk outside, after paying the bill, Michael, Nikita and the team moved outside in time to see Buffy and Angel turn the corner into the alleyway.
Only one word was uttered by Michael "Go"
When Mowen, Roger and Davenport went towards the door Nikita asked Michael what they were going to do about the man that was with Buffy.
"We take him in" was the only response
Michael and Nikita walked out the door to stand in front of the team, they walked down the alley to converge on the targets "Get them both"
"Tranqs only" he said before they moved in on the couple.
They were startled when they found the alley empty except for a corner where the couple were making out surrounding them Michael called for the van
As soon as Michael spoke the couple broke apart and stood in positions of defence ready to attack at any moment.
"Come with us please" Michael said softly.
"Give me one reason why I should go with you" Buffy replied sassily
"Buffy." Angel said warningly
"If you do as we say we won't shoot you" Nikita said soothingly
Buffy and Angel glanced at each other then Angel turned back to Michael and answered for them both saying
"You can take us if we stay together"
They all got into the van as soon as they all sat down Buffy and Angel were injected with tranquillisers.
"Bifkoff, get Operations on the phone"
"Sure thing Michael"
Everyone sat and waited until Birkoff announced that Operations was on the phone.
"Sir, we have an anomaly"
"What is it?" Operations asked sounding mildly annoyed
"The target had a male with her"
"Bring them both in" Operations said before ending the call.
***Section***
The White Room
"Hello" the soothing voice came from somewhere in the room.
"Where am I?" Buffy answered more then angry to find she was tied down to a bed
"You are I a place called Section One, the most covert anti-terrorist organization on the planet, we fight the terrorists that no-one else can get"
"Can you un-tie me now?"
The voice gave no answer but instead came up and undid the binding holding Buffy to the table.
Rolling of the table I came face to face with a woman.
"Where's Angel?" Buffy questioned.
The woman gave no answer, no indication that she had heard Buffy's request.
"Alright then lets move on to the easy stuff like why I'm here and who the hell you are"
The woman looked amused.
"My name is Madeline, you were recruited because of your abilities"
"Ok I'll bite, what abilities?"
Choosing not to answer that question Madeline said instead "This is where you will train, where you will learn, if after two years you performance is satisfactory you will become an operative for Section One"
"What if I don't wanna be a secret government agent?"
Madeline pulls out a gun "This is your alternative" was her answer
"Why?"
"The world thinks your dead, car accident, this is you funeral" she said handing her photos of the event.
"Do I get a choice?"
"Yes, you can choose to train and become an operative or you can choose a bullet"
"Can I see Angel?" Buffy asked choosing not to answer the lingering question
"Angel?" the woman questioned
"Yeah the guy you brought me in with"
"Ah yes"
"Can I see him, please" Buffy said trying to appeal to Madeline
"I'm afraid not"
"Then I choose door number two, I'll take the bullet" Buffy said sitting down on the gurney she was strapped to before
"As you wish" Madeline said as she raised the gun
The only sound heard was the sound of a cell-phone
Madeline put the gun in her pocket and drew out her cell-phone
"Yes" she said putting the phone to her ear
"Madeline, the Summer's girl is important the agency wants her kept alive"
"Of course, what do you want me to do"
"Allow her request, let them interact for the time being, give them a room together"
"Are you sure about this?" Madeline asked a bit exasperated
"Do as I ask Madeline, that was an order not a request"
"Of course" she said resignedly hanging up the phone.
Turning towards Buffy, she said the only words that Buffy wanted to hear "I will take you to see him"
"Thankyou" Buffy said gratefully
"Alright, you all know the set-up, when we get to The Diner we go in as customers wait until she gets off work then we get her, she is using the alias of Anne"
