Chapter 8 00 Xander. Sorry for the delay. Here is the next chapter. So Dawny is totally in trouble as Buffy and Xander head to Florida to find Cordelia, and Xander's sister. All this and more on 00 Xander.
The sun is shining and two very attractive tourist are walking down the beach. It's a beautiful blonde wearing a one piece bathing suit. The man is in a tropical shirt and matching pants. They are both wearing black sunglasses and seem to be taking in their surroundings.
"Where to?" ask Buffy to Xander who holding a small device. It's a tracking device that will track another device in Cordelia's purse. That's how they are tracking her. Xander remembers that he did put tracking devices inside all of her purses just in case anything like this happens. He never knew it would happen.
The two tourist head to a big office building by the beach. They enter the building and are immediately stop by a security guard.
"Sir is there a bathroom around here?" ask Xander holding Buffy close. She begins to move back and forth. The guard looks at her.
"You can't be here," says the guard trying to push them out of the building.
"I really need to go," whines Buffy.
"Sire please just let us use your bathroom. That's all." The guard looks at the clock on the wall. "Five minutes."
"Thank you so much," says Buffy as she follows the guard who leads her to the bathroom.
"I'll wait outside honey," says Xander as he quickly goes up the stairs without the cameras catching a glimpse of him. Xander walks through the corridors up stairs and follows his detector that leads him to the second door to his right. He opens it and finds Cordelia tied up in the room with her mouth taped.
She mumbles something as Xander enters the room to untie her. He takes the tape from her mouth and she hugs him.
"Oh my God," says Cordelia. "I was so scared."
"It's okay," says Xander comforting his sister. "You'll be alright." He releases her and smiles at her. Then he grabs her hand and they head out of the room.
From another room someone watched Xander and Cordelia escape. The person stayed still without doing anything to stop them.
**************
Meanwhile in the ladies, the security waits for Buffy in the bathroom. *Gee no privacy much.* Buffy looks at her watch then flushes the toilet. She comes out of the stall and washes her hands.
"Could you hand me a paper towel." Buffy looks at the guard who is running out of patience with her. The guard hands her a paper towel. She smiles at him.
"Come on this is not beauty parlor." The guard pulls her out of the bathroom just as Xander and Cordelia exit. The guard only saw the door shut.
"Thank you so much sire." Buffy gives him a smile and heads out the door.
Outside she meets up with Xander and Cordelia. She walks up to them.
"That was easy." Buffy flips her hair.
"Yeah, too easy." Xander is unsure of the rescue. There was only one guard.
They all head to the jet. Oz opens the door and runs out to Xander with a cell phone.
"We have a problem." Oz hands Xander the phone.
"I knew it!" Xander grabs the phone. "Hello." On the other line is Tara.
"Xander someone is missing." Tara begins to pace back and forth. "I think you should sit down."
"Dawn." Xander turns to Buffy and Cordelia who are anxious to know what the news is about. "What happen?"
"She went to try to save your sister." Tara is looking at Willow who turns to William. William is patting a wet towel over Faith's head. (Remember she got stressed out and fainted.)
"She's here," says Xander. Tara explains that Dawn took a rookie pilot (Very risk.) and bought him to take her to Florida. The guy returned but without Dawn. "What did he say?"
"He said that Dawn told him to leave if she didn't return in two hours." Tara pulls the phone away from her ear as Xander over reacts.
"What! Why did she do that for?" Xander is furious at what Dawn has done. Buffy and Cordelia look at each other. Xander begins to breath hard then closes his eyes. "Did she take a device of some sort?"
"Yes, Willow said she took your cell phone," says Tara.
"I was wondering where it was," says Xander. "Where is she?"
Tara tells him that Dawny is back in the office building where they just came from. Xander takes a deep breath and nods his head. When he hangs up he turns to Buffy and Cordelia.
"Xander don't be upset with her," says Cordelia.
"Yeah, she was only trying to help," says Buffy.
"Help," says Xander as he starts to laugh. "She's trying to get herself killed. I wish Alex was here. If she was here I wouldn't be raising Dawn in a secret head quarters. She would be at home doing her homework and worrying about boys and what she is going to wear tomorrow." Xander sighs and gives the cell phone to Oz. Everyone stays quiet for a while.
"Xander I think Alex would be proud of the way you've raised Dawn," says Cordelia. "She's smart, strong...She's a great kid. She looks up to you and you're the best person to look up to." Xander gets a little teary but holds it in. (He's man for goodness sake.)
"Alright," says Xander. "Lets go save Dawn." Xander heads back to the building with Oz following him. The girls decide to accompany him too.
*************
He pushes the door open and catches the guard by surprise by hitting him over the head. Oz looks back to the girls as the girls go over the guard laying on the floor. Xander heads up the stairs with his tracking device tracking Dawn and his cell phone.
"In here," says Xander as he opens the door in front of him. He sees Dawn on the bed tie up and her mouth is covered with a bandana. He quickly goes to her to release her, but suddenly feels something on his head. It's a gun pointed at his head. Xander stops and raises his head.
"Don't shoot," says Xander as he raises his head up to see the young man that in formed him about the his sister's kidnapping. Buffy and Cordelia stop at the door and held their breaths. Oz quickly takes his little gun out and aims it at the young man. The young man switches the gun and points it at Dawn. He then grabs Dawn from the bed. She begins to squirm. Xander backs up.
"Put your gun down," says the man. Xander nods his head to Oz and Oz puts the gun down. "Now we'll make a deal. My boss needs a young girl. Her." The young man points at Buffy. Xander looks at her.
"No..." says Xander. The young man holds Dawn closer and pushes the gun into her back.
"It's her or her," says the young man. Xander takes a deep breath and looks at Buffy.
"Okay," says Buffy walking over to the young man. "Now let her go." Buffy touches the gun and pulls it away from Dawn. The young man does not flinch and does what Buffy tells him. He then pulls out a knife and cuts the ropes that ties Dawns hands. Buffy removes the tape from her mouth slowly.
"Buffy don't," says Dawn. Buffy pushes her gently to Xander who hugs her immediately. The young man grabs Buffy by her arm.
"Now everyone out," says the young man.
Cordelia, Oz and Dawn head out. Xander stops at the door way. Dawn waits for himat the door as some guards grab Oz and Cordelia.
"Who's your boss?" ask Xander in a stern voice. The young smiled an wicked smile. Xander recognizes that smile. He has seen it before. A similar smile from one of his many foes.
"The emperor," replies the young man. Buffy's eyes widen and she faints.
Suddenly from behind Xander enters the emperor. He gives Xander a smile and bops him over the head.
"Dad!" screams Dawn who sees the whole event. A guard grabs her and takes her away.
