Previously…:
"We can't do anything from out here," Willow Rosenburg pointed out.
"Then we better get moving," Buffy said.
Now…:
MacGyver carefully manipulated the mirror around a corner, looking to see who was – or wasn't – there. He saw three people bound and gagged on the floor, but he couldn't see anyone guarding them.
"I sense at least 4 vampires in there," Buffy hissed. Mac nodded. That would make sense. Both crouched and got ready to move. Mac clenched the holy water and cross Buffy had forced upon him when he refused a stake. While He didn't think he would be able to "dust" a vampire, he could at least hold them at bay. His job was to free the hostages and get them out of there. Buffy and her friends would handle the vampires.
"Let's get this done," Buffy said before leaping forward to attack the vampires.

They moved floor by floor, eliminating all the vampires on one level before moving to the next. Each floor had more hostages and more vampires.
"They're setting a trap," Mac said when they reached the eighth floor and encountered no vamps. Buffy grunted.
"Xander, go left. Willow, go right. MacGyver and I'll head straight up the middle," Buffy said. Her two friends moved off to do as she said. The neared one office, and Mac froze.
"Pete's office," Mac said. Buffy nodded and moved to the other side of the door. As one, they burst into the office…

Pete was struggling against the tape that held him in his chair and gagged him when the door burst open. Mac and a young woman he didn't know were framed by the open doorway. He struggled, trying to call out a warning to Mac, but the gag made that impossible. Mac ran to him and began cutting him loose.
"We'll have you free in a minute, Pete," Mac said, ripping off the gag.
"It's a trap!" Pete warned. Mac's eyes went wide, then spun when he heard a thud. The door had been shut, and the young woman lay unconscious outside. Peterson stood there just inside the office.
"I see my little trap has paid off. Welcome, MacGyver," Peterson said sinisterly.
AN: Okay, Buffy being knocked out may be a little OOC, but it's for the story. Please, review. Constructive criticism welcome.
