The soldier that was on shift next was a heavily built and a gruff guy. He would take advantage of any prisoner by kicking them when they were down or any other indecent thing. He was glad he gave the girl, Buffy, a cloth covered rubber blanket. As long as she had it wrapped around her, the gun's power would be four times less powerful. He had to find Riley because he heard Sergeant Blaine and the Surgeon talking about how to kill her. They wanted revenge for their injuries, to dish out the same pain ten times as worse and something about money. The man got out of his uniform, put on his day clothes, and walked out into the night, he still had an hour to get to the corner store by the Happy Burger. He was wondering if she had that long to live. He had to pick up some special tools from his dorm. He walked into his dorm and changed into the black with one white sock. He felt like an idiot but he really thought the Initiative had gone to far. He'd help stop them, no matter what the cost.

Giles was looking through his books on information about the apocalypse to pass the time. They had set up all the plans and they were waiting for eleven thirty to roll by so they could meet that mystery man to see if he had any more information on how to save Buffy. Giles checked the clock, it was eleven. "Willow are you done remembering that spell?" asked Giles.

"Yes, it is a mighty long spell and powerful, Tara you ready? Willow asked her friend. She nodded, "A-are you sure I-I'll be able to d-do this, she's important to you, I know, what if I-I 'm powerful e-enough." Tara stuttered. Willow squeezed her friend's hand, Tara was an excellent friend but she was a little shy. "It's fine, you'll be able to do it, I believe in you."

" Let's go, I can't wait any longer," Giles replied as he looked across his Escape team, "Everybody, gather up, We are going." Giles picked up a bag of things and a handgun, he hid it in his pocket. He didn't want anybody to see it but if necessary he would use it. They all walked out having doubts about their plan but at the same time, out to save Buffy.

Buffy could hear whispering in the background and the shuffling of feet. She also heard the glass door slide open and the charging of those damn electrical guns. She opened her eyes and shifted herself to a sitting position and glared at her three guard escort. Two of the guards stepped towards her and each grabbed an arm. They lifted her up and dragged her towards the door. Her muscles were screaming and she let out a moan of pain. Not wanting her legs to get injured anymore than they were, she lifted them up and started to limp weakly. She heard the opening of another door and looked up. She tried to keep her eyes open, but the pain was too much. She closed her eyes and let the darkness consume her yet again.

Xander, Anya, Riley, and Giles all piled out of Giles' car. Anya was yet again complaining about taking Giles' car. "Why couldn't we have gone with Angel? At least he has a car that isn't a death trap, and it looks pretty." Xander sighed. "If we had all taken Angel's car, how were we supposed to fit?" He replied. Anya went into the corner store, ignoring Xander's remark. The boys followed suit.

Riley went searching the aisles looking for the man with the one white sock. He found him in aisle seven, which was the canned food aisle. "Excuse me, can you help me?" Riley asked. The guy turned around and asked "Are you Riley Finn?"

"Yes and I hear you can help me save someone from somewhere." He replied. Riley heard footsteps behind him and turned around. It was Xander, Anya and Giles. The man looked at the newcomers suspiciously. "It is okay, they're with me." Riley said, assuring the man. The rogue initiative operative then began telling them all he knew that might help.

The black Plymouth convertible sped towards the outskirts of the university's property. They needed to get to the beginning of the forest, where they would wait for the rest of the gang. Angel veered to the left as he almost missed the turnoff. "Hey! There are other people in this car too you know!" Cordelia said, punching him on the shoulder. The sudden force of the punch moved Angel's arm, causing the car to almost veer across the road. "Cordy!" Angel and Willow yelled in unison. Tara was clinging to Willow. She didn't like all this reckless driving. "What? Angel's vampire reflexes saved us. No big deal…" Cordelia replied, turning away from Angel. Finally, they reached their destination. Everyone jumped out of the car and brought out all the supplies. "And now we wait." Willow said, sitting down on the ground beside the car. Tara sat down beside her. They both began preparing their magick supplies. "Ang…Where'd he go?" Cordelia asked. The three girls looked around, knowing he wasn't far, but worrying anyway.
