Giles had just sent Xander to find Riley to tell him what happened. Giles had risked the whole plan to find a section of it. He knew he should have sent Willow she'd do a better job disguising herself but she'd been through enough. Anya was asleep on the Initiatives floor plans. Giles himself was pacing, for both Angel and Xander were at least a half-hour late and he was anxious. Suddenly he heard banging on the door. He picked up an axe and swung the door open. It was Angel, Cordelia and Xander. "Thank the gods you're alright." Hollered Giles in happiness, at least they didn't get caught. "Giles!" yelled Angel, his voice held an icy edge. "Y-yes, come in" said Giles to the smoking Angel. "Thank-you, I did some recon and picked up Xander along the way." Said Angel to the group as he battered the flame on his shoulder. "And Riley said he'll come in a while, needed to get some supplies." Xander stated. "Time to get to work then, huh?" Cordelia said, rubbing her hands.

"We've got quite a while until eight thirty, that's when the sun goes down." Giles told everyone. "Willow I need you to go online and get Tara over here. Xander do some recon on the entrance to the Initiative with Anya, we need to know the least guarded entrance, keep an eye out just incase they transport her, phone if they do. Angel you and I will look at the floor plans, and Cordelia we need some stuff from the Magic Shop." Giles commanded handing Cordelia a list. "Everybody, we need to save Buffy, I didn't tell you but this even more serious than I thought. There will also be an apocalypse in a week, we need her." Giles informed everybody, he turned around to go to the bathroom. He didn't want anyone see his eyes were welling up.

Riley was furious. Did none of his boys help her, he heard every detail on Buffy's condition from his radio. He saw something move in the bushes next to the sidewalk, he kept moving. He bet his attacker didn't know he had a mini hi-power tazer in his pocket. It wasn't as strong as his gun, it couldn't take down a demon or a Slayer but it could take down an ordinary man. He strode along inching his hand into his pocket. He grabbed the tazer ready to pull out if necessary. "Riley, Riley," said a whispered voice. "I'm the one in the bushes, keep walking and just listen. Riley I can help get your girlfriend out. Meet me in the corner store by the Happy Burger, you can bring anyone you like, I'll be wearing all black with one white sock. I'll be there at midnight. I need to go now." "Wait, who are you?" asked Riley "A friend, don't worry?" Riley heard the voice disappearing. "Fine I'll come, but if it's a trap I'll have to kick your ass." He whispered to himself.

Giles heard the door burst open He flew out of the guestroom where Willow was quietly studying a Sumerian spell to fry electronics. He sighed in relief, it was only Riley. "Sorry I'm late, had to take the long way, and I ran into some unreliable good news." Riley started, he continued to tell them about his earlier encounter. The other's faces started to light up, if this was true what the mystery man said, they would have a better chance of saving Buffy.

I looked around, and I think, "Why the Hell is it so cold in here." Because it is like a damn meat-locker. I started thinking why. It could be because the floor and walls are metal. Or maybe it was because I still had the shreds of clothing I had on before, I looked across to the blanket on the floor. A guard had placed it there just a few minutes ago, he told me it wasn't a trap. Should I believe him? He said he didn't want to ruin my privacy, he thought I might want to be more decent. I got up, my muscles were screaming. They had spasmed all night from continued electrical shocks, although the guard and how he chose not to see me squirm, was a surprise. He didn't even use me as target practice and shock me with his gun to watch me suffer and jerk. I don't even think he has his gun on. I picked up the blanket, limped to the corner and wrapped it around myself, and stared at the guard's back. He shifted uncomfortably as the next guard came. He turned around and stared at me with caring gray eyes, he mouthed "Pretend your asleep I'll get help." As he pretended to yawn. I could be wrong though. I closed my eyes, fully aware of everything, and pretended to sleep even if I got his message wrong it was a good idea.
