"Now, I'll ask you again... Do you know anything about a guy that goes by the name of Ethan Rayne?" Buffy asked, releasing her grip on Willy's shirt.
He straightened it out, and looked around the bar, before back at her. "I may have heard a few things..."
"Do you really want me to beat you till you can't..."
"Okay okay," he said, raising his hands in the air. "Look, all I heard is that he may be staying at an abandoned factory." Buffy eyed him, and he hesitated before continuing. "He's gathering demons off the streets, demons who want to kill, well... You. But that's all I know, I swear."
Buffy nodded and backed away from the bar. "You better not be lying to me," she said, before disappearing up the stairs.
Buffy sat on Giles sofa, telling him all the information that Willy had given her. Spike was putting Dawn down upstairs, and Faith was still out on her 'mission'. Buffy was starting to get worried. She knew Faith could handle herself, but surely she'd be back by now.
Unless she's with Angel, Buffy thought. Yeah, she's just with Angel. Doing all the things I don't ever want to hear about.
"Well, it certainly is helpful to know where he's located," Giles said. "However, Ethan may be careless, but he's not stupid. If he knows we're on to him, he'll move. It's best that we take care of this as soon as possible."
"How soon?" Buffy asked. "Tonight?"
Giles shook his head. "Too soon. Tomorrow, during the day, you should go up to the factory and see just how many demons he has. Then, that night, you, I and Faith will go to fight."
"What? No, you are not getting involved in this," Buffy said.
"You two are my Slayers, I'm already involved."
"No offense Giles, but how are you going to help? If I had to run from that situation, how are you going to fight?"
Giles looked down, then back up at her. "I can't answer your question Buffy. But I do know that I am willing to give up my life if it means helping you to stop someone from ending the world, even just ending your life."
Buffy didn't quite know how to react to his answer. She could feel tears starting to form in her eyes, but she didn't let them fall. She had never thought about the people around her, the people who were in jeopardy. Giles was willing to die for a cause that she was called for. And he seemed very sure of that, more sure than even Buffy was.
"Well, Lil Bit's asleep," Spike said, coming down the stairs.
Buffy looked back at him and smiled. "Thanks for putting her to bed."
"My pleasure. She's quite the kid," he said. "What's up?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing. Why do you ask?"
"You just seem a little... Never mind," he said. "You said it was nothing, so it's nothing."
Buffy nodded her head and stood up. She grabbed her jacket off of the nearby chair and headed for the door. "I'm going to go look for Faith," she said.
"I'll come with you," Spike said.
"No, that's okay," Buffy said. "I'm okay by myself. Could you stay here with Giles, incase Dawnie wakes up?"
Spike just nodded, but didn't understand why he had to stay. He put on a fake smile as she left the room, before flopping down on the sofa, and let out a loud sigh.
"Buffy just wants you to keep safe," Giles said, placing his empty mug in the sink.
"I can handle myself fine. I am part vampire, remember?"
"Buffy's been doing this for a lot longer then you have," he said. "She's been through more stuff with this duty then you could ever imagine."
"How would you know old man? You've only been around as long as I have," Spike said.
"Yes, but I've read about her, and she's told me everything. Besides, she isn't my first Slayer. So I know a thing or two more about demons then you. You may think you're tough, because your father is a vampire, but you don't even know what that means."
Spike stood up and was about to leave when Giles placed a hand on his shoulder. "She loves you Spike, and if you get hurt... She'll blame herself. Is that what you want? There's more going on now then you know. Trust her when she says to stay here."
Spike shrugged him off and changed his direction, this time storming off to the guest bedroom, slamming the door behind him.
"Now, I'll ask you again... Do you know anything about a guy that goes by the name of Ethan Rayne?" Buffy asked, releasing her grip on Willy's shirt.
