Thanks very much Just Wolf for the review. She knows about the magic cause Giles told her. I don't know what "stiff" means, lol sorry. I swear it's better in a few chapters, that's what people told me about the French version.

CHAPTER 2

Three men enter the shop. They wear cowls on their head and have guns.

« They don't seem nice » thinks Buffy.

Buffy who never fears anything goes next to them.

- Can I help you guys ?

- Yes, we want the money you got here, answers one of the guys.

- Sorry no luck, says Buffy, there's almost nothing in it.

- Show us anyway, says a second guy.

- Ok, says Buffy.

She walks to the cash register and when she went behind it one of the guy followed her to make sure she doesn't hit the alarm to call the cops.

- That's all the cash in the cash register ? asks the guy.

- Yep, I told you, says Buffy.

There's only $150 in the cash register.

- She must put everything into a safe at the end of the day, says one of the burglar to his friends.

Buffy doesn't know what to say cause they are right.

- You're wrong this is all I got so take it and go !

- Oh no we're not going anywhere, says one of them.

Buffy gives them the money and then comes back behind the cash register to hit the alarm, if she can.

She's use to fighting vampires and demons but not humans. Well, those guys seem human plus they're carrying guns.

- Where are you going ? asks one of them.

- Nowhere, says Buffy embarrassed. I'm just gonna get a bag for you to put the money in it…

- Yeah right! I'm sure you were trying to push on the alarm button to call the cops.

- Oh, hell no, says Buffy wishing they'll believe her lie.

- Liar, says guy who seems to be the leader.

- Get your ass back over here ! demands the guy.

- Why ? asks Buffy.

The one who seems to be the leader gets in front of her putting his arm near her asking kindly where she hides the rest of the money.

- Nowhere, I told you there's no more money.

- You're starting to piss me off, says another guy.

Buffy stands in the middle of the room.

- As you don't want to tell us where the money is…

- What are you gonna do? asks Buffy. Are you going to shoot me? Cause me being dead is not gonna be helpful to you guys.

- It's not stupid, says the leader, so you're ready to talk ?

Buffy thinks a few minutes on the best way to get out of this bad situation.

- So ? asks one of the guys.

- We don't wanna wait anymore, says the leader getting more angry.

- Look, says one of the other guys, we got the money we'd better go now. We'll come back later to take more, ok ?

- No way, answers the leader.

The leader points his gun at Buffy…

Buffy doesn't move…

- You're crazy, says one of the guys, you're not gonna shoot her, that wasn't in the plan.

- Eh, I'm just having fun, of course I'm not gonna shoot.

While they're speaking the leader still has his gun on Buffy. Even if he's not really looking at her the guys are and Buffy doesn't move. She doesn't want the situation to get worst. The hand of the leader doesn't stay steady it's moving a bit as he's talking with his guys. He doesn't notice that.

… several seconds later…

We hear a big noise, the leader gave a shot without noticing. Or was it his intention ?

Where is it gonna fall ? What is it gonna hit ? Will Buffy be hurt ?

…
