Chapter 2 – The Case

"Summers in my office now" A powerful voice rang though the room.

Buffy Summer's groaned at 25 she was the youngest and most decorated agent in her field at the FBI. She had been working for the department for a year but had the respect and reputation that senior officers were even jealous of. Getting up from her desk she walked in to the boss's office. "What's up Wes?" She asked.

Wesley Wendon Price was a long time friend of the father's and had been so proud when told Buffy would be joining his team. "Good. Buffy I had a phone call from LA today the head detective there called me on behalf of one of his officers. It seems they have a serial killer on their hands" He said passing her the case file. "I'll give you a minute to look at it while I go get so tea" he added getting up and leaving the room.

Buffy opened the file looking over what was written in the pages. All the girls were found strangled nothing else linking them other then the fact they all acted on the side. She glanced at the officer in charge one Det Lockly and noticed a PI firm was involved as well but no names were mentioned of them apart from the last name of Finnagan strange she thought. Wesley entered the room quietly if she hadn't felt the change in the air she would have never known. "What else do we know about the PI?" She asked.

Wesley smiled at Buffy's awareness. "You know that's why your one of our best agent's and to answer your question no we don't. So you'll be taking the case then?"

Buffy rolled her eyes at the older man. "Of course I'll be taking it. Do I get a team or a partner?" She asked.

"No team as you'll be working with the police department there, but I'll be sending Willow along with you" Wesley saw Buffy smile at the thought of working with her best friend so he continued " oh and I believe you'll be working with another old friend who is the FBI liaison in LA"

Buffy raised an eyebrow saying "Oh and who would that be?"

Wesley looked though the department roster "A young chap by the name of Harris, Alexander Harris"

"Get out, we're working with Xander that's so cool" Buffy's young age shown though her statement.

Wesley again smiled at his young charge. "Yes well. I shall give your father a call and tell him to be expecting you and Willow"

Buffy got up to leave the office. "Yeah that will be great and also tell Giles to bring a Grown up car this time"
Wesley laughed remembering the beat up old criton him long time friend used to drive.
"It's gonna be great working with Xander" Willow said as she and Buffy packed their bags that afternoon.

"Yeah it is. It's gonna be like the Scooby gang all over again" Buffy laughed out, remembering the little detective group they had formed with the help of her father's imagination.

"So Wesley called Giles to tell him we are coming?" Willow asked placing a sweater into her bag.

"Yup, thought it would help so we could leave in time." Buffy said with a shrug as she zipped up her case.

Willow placed her last pair of jeans into her case and started to zip it up. "I was reading the case file. It seems at if the detective is a little clueless. Good thing they decided to get us involved." She commented.

Buffy laughed. "There you are right. That PI who's involved seems to know more then her." She picked up her key's turning the apartment's lights out as she went.

"This case is gonna be interesting" Willow said as she closed the door behind them.
