Chapter Fourteen

Count Down to Judgment Day:

T Minus Six (pt8):

(Point: Supplies):

"Well now that Buffy has left we should discuss some of our alternatives for gaining supplies. After her reaction to Xander's acquiring funding I'd say it would be very difficult to get her to go along with us.' Giles stated in a low voice.

"That's why I wasn't to clear on what I was going to check. I'm going to go look over the Initiative base and see if I can salvage anything in the way of weapons. About the only thing that might hurt a Terminator if it's as tough as Adam is the Troll Hammer. Nobody but Buffy or Faith could even pick it up. Let alone use it. I think we need something for the rest of us." Xander suggested quietly.

"That's an excellent idea Xander. You'd best leave before Buffy gets back from calling Riley." Giles motioned towards the back door.

As Xander left Giles heard Buffy dialing the flower shop. "Buffy herself suggested we should raid some demon hideouts. I'd suggest we go beyond that. We'll need to go against some of the organized crime figures in the area to procure funding and weapons. We will also need to raid various military supplies for the sorts of things we wouldn't normally be able to acquire within such a short time frame."

"Not to mention getting the ill gotten booty across multiple international borders." Wesley put in.

"Quite right. Willow I know you've wanted to avoid magic's. But we will need you desperately. Could you supercharge Anya's teleportation ability so that she does the actual teleporting. All you would do is act as a power booster. If that's acceptable to you." Giles inquired of Willow. "After Buffy gets back we can dispatch a raiding group to bust up a number of demon hideouts with her. While the rest of us go about other less than legal means of getting what we need." Giles walked to the inside kitchen door and heard Buffy speaking on the phone.

"Yeah tell Riley that it's his old girlfriend Buffy and that I need to speak to him in person as soon as possible. It's very important. --- Yes I know this is a flower shop. Ask around. Riley gave me this number to call him. --- Good bye." Buffy hung up the phone.

"Very well then. We don't have long to gather supplies. If we don't hurry we may get caught in the blast. So we'll need to get things done yesterday. Since we don't have yesterday we'll have to settle for today." Giles finished as Buffy walked back into the kitchen.

"I'd say we should hit sharks place. It's one of the biggest den's we could hit." Buffy acted like she was taking command.

Giles decided to let her think that way. "You'll need some back up. Xander had to leave and with Angel gone it will have to be some of Angels group.

"Why not Willow?"

"Because Buffy she needs to save her magical power. You Cordelia Gunn and Wesley are more than able to handle it. Fred and Anya should stay here with Dawn to help me research what other items we will need to acquire." Giles loved the girl but sometimes she was exhausting. "Unless any of you has an objection?" Looking over the gathering.

"Nope. Not me. It sounds doable." The chorus rang out.

Scene Break-

"Hmm Now where could I get into that Top Secret base.? There's bound to be away." Xander mused to himself as he drove along. "Maybe somewhere in the cave complex Buffy met Adam in the first place?"

-End Scene break-

"Giles me and the guys are heading out on a few raids. We'll be back soon. You and mom better consider how we are going to get from here to Ampway." Buffy called out.

"I think you mean Amapa Buffy. Don't worry your mother and I will be working on our end." Giles testily reminded her.

"Don't say working on ends. Or do I have to mention band candy…?" Buffy quipped with almost the same fondness she displayed in baiting him ove/ar the years, as she walked out the door.

"One of these days that Girl will be the death of me.' Giles muttered.

"Not today Rupert. Not today." Joyce responded fondly.

"You two can have sex after we get done planning. Just how are we going to get to my place in Amapa?" Anya's statement flustered both Giles and Joyce.

Dawn scrunched her face up in an eww expression, at the thought of her parental figures having sex. But she simply had to get her own two cents in. "What did Buffy mean by band candy?" Outwardly her expression was all innocence. Inside she was gloating like the devil.

Giles was flustered but tried not to show it. "Be that as it may. We need to figure out how we can get to Anya's refuge. Driving is out of the question for most of us and our equipment. But we will need to do some driving. Travel by plane is to restricted."

"It's the supplies that will be the hard part. Willow I'm afraid we will need your magic. I know you don't want to use it at that kind of level. But I don't see any other choice. If we had a couple months warning we might have been able to get everything done in time without it." Joyce grumbled. "Now we don't have a choice."

"Joyce do Buffy and Dawn have current passports?" Giles had a sinking feeling the answer was no.

"Actually they do and so do I. We haven't used them since we moved to Sunnydale. But we used to go across the border from time to time back when we lived in LA."

"That's a relief. Willow's and my passports are up to date. And I'm sure Wesley's is as well." Giles was turning his head to look at Anya to ask her something when Willow interrupted.

"Uhm Giles. I think we might have a problem. We didn't go through customs so our passports weren't stamped."

"I don't think that will be a problem Willow." Anya butted in. "I can easily get your passport stamped, by the same guy I'm going to have to use for some fake ID. Since there's no way we could get it done fast enough to get legit papers on all of us."

Giles put his head in his hands and simply shook it. "We're doomed. We're doomed" He muttered to himself over and over again.
