They found Clarity and Gypsy hanging around casually outside the alibi room, while the sound of Montoya's yells and shouts echoed from the alley.
"How goes the patrolling girls?" asked Faith with a grin as the two approached.
"Its going good…don't ya think Gyps?" asked Clarity as the blonde looked over her shoulder at where Montoya had just staked the vampire she'd been fighting.
"Yep just brill Clar…Mon…Faith and Wes are here." Said Gypsy behind her and the black girl soon appeared from between the two.
"Ah bright eyes, I was wondering when you'd be coming around." grinned Montoya wiping her sweaty forehead with the back of her hand.
Faith looked questioningly at the ex watcher the words 'bright eyes?' being mouthed questioningly at him but Wesley rolled his eyes.
"Have you seen where In, Quelle and Sere went?" asked Faith looking questioningly at Clarity and Gypsy.
"I think I saw them going toward the Bronze." Said Gypsy with a shrug.
"Ok, Wes me, Clar and Gyps will go look for those three why don't you and Mon go look for Shan, Vell and Ader?" said Faith.
"Ok, meet you back on the corner of Revello Drive in an hour?" asked Wesley.
"Yep come on girls lets go." Said Faith leading Clarity and Gypsy in the direction of the Bronze.
"You got any idea where Shanay, Nirvelli and Aderes are?" asked Wesley looking questioningly at Montoya as she picked up her jacket off the ground
"They usually go toward Dock town to flirt with all the vampires that hang around there…" shrugged Montoya as she put on her jacket; putting the stake she was holding in the waistband of her jeans.
Wesley nodded absentmindedly as they began to walk in the direction of Dock town, though Montoya could tell something was on the older male's mind.
"Something wrong bright eyes? You've gone all quiet," said Montoya disturbing the quiet between them.
"Its nothing…just Faith..." shrugged Wesley.
"What's up with her?" asked Montoya.
"Nothing…I just told her about what you asked me, you know about us being a couple…she acted like that could never happen but I could tell that from her eyes she didn't think it was such a bad idea after all…" said Wesley.
"Really? Well that's kind of interesting…" said Montoya crossing her arms, her gaze cast at the sky.
"You know something don't you Montoya?" asked Wesley suspiciously.
"Me? No why would I know anything?" asked Montoya, though the ex watcher could see a grin twitching on the Brazilian's lips.
"Montoya…" said Wesley in a playful yet warning tone.
"I don't know anything! Honestly bright eyes I'm as much in the dark about this as you are." Said Montoya seriously as the two approached Docktown where there was the sound of yells that usually appeared when a slayer was fighting.
"I think they're over this way." Said Wesley ignoring the conversation they'd had before and leading Montoya toward an alley near a warehouse surrounded by containers ready to be shipped.
The two paused as they heard more yells and followed the noises to see Nirvelli fighting a vampire while Shanay stood on the side watching as Aderes helped the auburn girl stake the guy.
"Thanks Ader, gawd he was a tough one…" gasped Nirvelli as she wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.
"You ok there girls?" asked Montoya as she and Wesley immerged from the shadows.
"Yeah we're good Montoya." Said Aderes as Shanay joined the two.
"Good, Faith sent us to come and find you guys…. its time to go back to the house." Said Wesley.
"Ok, we'd best get going. Giles usually wakes up at about five…. we need to get back in the house and get a few hours sleep before Buffy's practice." Said Shanay.
The group of five then walked back toward Revello drive spotting Faith, Gypsy, Clarity, Indigo, Jaquelle and Serenity hanging around at the bottom of the street waiting for them.
"You manage to find them ok Wes?" asked Faith as the group began to walk toward Buffy's house chatting quietly amongst themselves.
"Yeah it wasn't that hard, plus Montoya had a pretty fair idea of where they were." Said Wesley with a shrug.
"Yeah well Montoya makes it her business to know these things…." Grinned Faith though the expression didn't seem to reach her eyes.
"You ok faith? You've been quiet since that conversation we had." Said Wesley ignoring the fact that the nine girls around them had stopped talking and were eavesdropping not so subtly.
"Let's not talk about this now Wes. Come on girls…. in we go." Said Faith as Montoya and Clarity began to climb up the drainpipe to Wesley's room.
Wesley sighed as Faith helped her charges up the drainpipe though as soon as she was about to help Gypsy up the two began to talk in small whispers that the ex watcher couldn't hear.
"Faith are you ok? What were you and Wesley talking about?" asked Gypsy as the ex-watcher climbed up the drainpipe.
"Its nothing gyps…come on you need to get in, need some sleep." assured Faith grabbing the blonde by the waist and hoisting her up to the middle of the drainpipe.
Faith watched the blonde climb up the drainpipe though she couldn't help but think of the conversation she and Wesley had had. He obviously wasn't an insensitive clod…he could tell something was bothering her but there was no way he'd be finding that out from her any time soon.
"You coming up faith?" asked Wesley and Faith snapped out her thoughts to see the ex watcher clinging to the drainpipe halfway up.
"You go on ahead Wes, I'll be up in a sec." Said Faith with a distant smile that made the ex-watcher nod unsurely.
Faith waited till she heard the sound of Wesley in his room before climbing up the drainpipe and into his room.
She swung herself in to see Wesley had closed the door to his room and he was sat on his bed with his laptop in front of him obviously looking at the work Angel had sent him.
"I guess I'd better leave ya to get on with that work Brood boy sent ya then Wes…" said Faith turning around on the window seat to close the windows.
"Actually I was thinking we could talk." Said Wesley looking up from the laptop at his slayer before he closed the laptop and put it to one side.
"Do we have to now Wes…? I'm really tired from patrolling. Let's leave it till later..." said Faith as she walked toward the door.
"But you won't talk to me later. I know you Faith you'll avoid this for as long as possible until I can catch you…. Its better that we get this over with as soon as possible." Said Wesley getting up and blocking the door.
"Come on Wes…. isn't it enough that you have convinced me to eat again…now you have to talk to me about something that has nothing to do with you." Said Faith crossing her arms.
"Oh but I think it does…" said Wesley leaning against the door.
"Really and why do you think it has anything to do with you hm princess Margaret?" asked Faith angrily.
"Come on Faith you never were that good about hiding your feelings…I can tell there is something you aren't telling me," said Wesley as Faith tried to push him to one side.
"Come on Wes…let's not get into this now…I swear…I'll talk to you about it in the morning…" said Faith.
"You swear?" asked Wesley suspiciously.
"I swear…on brood boy's soul." assured Faith.
"Fine…we'll talk about this in the morning. I've got some stuff I need to look over for Angel anyway." Sighed Wesley moving to one side.
"I'll see you then Wes." Smiled Faith opening the door and turning around to watch him sit on his bed.
She then turned back to the door and saw Gypsy and Montoya stood sheepishly smiling at her.
Faith narrowed her eyes at the two and closed the door before beginning to talk to them.
"What are you two doing up…. and why were you standing outside Wesley's door?" asked Faith in a whisper as she grabbed the two by the arm and pulled them down the corridor toward her room.
"We were just…." Begin Gypsy.
"I thought I'd left my jacket in Bright eyes' room and I was going to check but I heard you and him talking..." said Montoya.
"So why was little miss Goldilocks with you?" asked Faith folding her arms.
"I was on the way to the bathroom and she dragged me with her…?" asked Gypsy with a coy angelic smile.
"Get to bed you two…you've got practice in the morning…" sighed faith pushing the two in the direction of their room.
"Night faith." both girls whispered before they disappeared into their room.
Faith sighed and went into her room, quickly changing before slipping in to bed as Vi's snores echoed around the room.
