Two weeks Later

"Hello Buffy." Detective Gunn said as he entered the apartment.

"Hello Charles." She said leading him into the living room where all her friends and Angel My boyfriend were sitting.

"Hello all. It's nice to meet you." Gunn said taking the offered seat. "Have you all met my assistant Winifred Burkle?" He asked the group.

A course of 'hi's' and 'nice to meet you' rang out through out the room as the petite brunette sat next to her boss with a notepad and pen.

"So how has everyone been holding up?" Gunn asked.

"Um… well Riley's friends have stepped up their harassment on us. "Last week they keyed Spike's car." Buffy told him.

"Last night on our way home from the Bronze they made threatening remarks about my sister and Buffy." Angel told Gunn.

Buffy grabbed her boyfriends hand and squeezed it gently. She knew how hard it this was on him. Especially how great his worry for his sister was.

"Have the letters stopped?" Gunn asked.

"No. Just the other day we got one." Willow said reaching into her book bag and handing it to Winifred.

"They tagged my car two days ago." Oz told him.

Gunn only nodded. "I'm very sorry that these things are happening to you guys. I know this is difficult but you all knew the risk. Luckily enough none of you were hurt. Physically." He informed them.

"They said that Riley was looking for my sister." Angel told the detective.

"Do you think he may find her?"

"I don't know. I mean she's hidden where no one but me knows but…if he's really got the pull you say he does…well maybe he could find her. I can't let that happen Charles. I love my sister very much and I don't want her to get hurt. She's been through very much already." Angel told him.

"He will not get her. That is my personal promise to you." Gunn didn't like making promises, especially ones he know he might not be able to keep, but he knew how much the man loved his little sister and having a sister of his own he knew what it was like to worry. No there was no chance in HELL that Riley Finn would get his hands on that girl. So long as he lived. "What do you think about a body guard or something?"

"Like who? I mean you can't hire one of the guys from the station, they might leak the information to Riley." Oz said.

Gunn thought for a moment. "Listen the end of the semester is coming up. Why don't you guys go to this location where his sister is and you can all protect each other." Gunn suggested.

Angel looked at the gang and then back to Gunn. " That could work."

"I won't leave my sister alone." Oz told the detective.

"Oz please, I don't want you to be in any more danger." Buffy pleaded with her older brother.

"No Buffy. I have never left you alone when you needed me and I will not anymore."

"She wont be alone Oz. I'll stay with her." Angel said.

Buffy looked up at Angel and started to protest when Oz continued. "Angel you know better than most how it feels to have to protect a little sister, I have to stay here with my sister."

Angel nodded. "I'm stay too."

"No one is staying." Buffy told them sternly. "Angel you have to go and be with your sister. She needs you. Oz… I don't want you anywhere around this. Go with Willow."

When both men made motion to object Buffy just glared.

"Buffy it isn't wise for you to be alone." Gunn told her.

"I…" she stopped. I have no where to go.

"She can stay with me." Winfred said shyly. When everyone looked over at her she continued. "I…I know I just met you but you seem really nice and what this Riley guy is doing is horrible. I'd love to help anyway I could." She told them.

Buffy looked over at her brother then at her boyfriend. "I… thank you Winfred."

"Oh it's okay. Call me Fred."

"Okay Fred."

"Good so it's settled. Angel and everyone else will go to this location and Buffy will stay with Fred." Gunn said.

"I've gotta stay." Spike told them. "Faith." He simply replied at their confused looks.

"Call her she's coming with us." Angel told his brother sternly.

Spike just nodded.
