Previously…:
Buffy watched the strange man enter the room. She watched as he leaned over MacGyver and hissed something that sounded like "Down for the count." She only saw the glint of the knife as the man raised it over his head in preparation for plunging it into MacGyver's chest.
Now…:
"Oh, no you don't," Buffy hissed, and, moving quickly, grabbed the man's arm.
Murdoc had just raised the knife in preparation to plunge it into MacGyver's chest, and was relishing in his final victory over his nemesis, when something grabbed hold of his arm. It couldn't be someone, he reasoned, because no human could be that strong. He looked over and was surprised to see the girl he had seen sleeping in the chair was wide awake and restraining his knife hand. His eyes widened. Who was this slip of a girl?
"You know, it's not nice to stab people when they can't defend themselves," Buffy said. Murdoc sneered.
"Just walk away, girl," Murdoc said. Buffy smiled her sweetest smile.
"I don't think so. You see, he's my friend," Buffy said, indicating MacGyver. "I don't let strange men stab my friends."
"What a pity. And here I was hoping I could spare your life," Murdoc said.
"I don't think so," Buffy said. Then she spun Murdoc into a wall.
"Ow…you little guttersnipe! Do you even know who I am?" Murdoc asked, turning himself around and glaring at her.
"No, and I don't care," Buffy said.
"I am Murdoc, and I am a professional assassin!" Murdoc snarled at her.
"Oh, look at me. I'm so scared I'm shaking in my boots. NOT! I've faced a whole lot worse than you and lived to tell about it," Buffy said. Murdoc sneered.
"You've made an enemy of me, girl, and you won't live to tell about it," Murdoc said around his sneer.
"Blah, blah, blah. Been there, done that, trashed the T-shirt," Buffy said. Murdoc growled and lunched at her with the knife. Buffy sidestepped the lunge and grabbed Murdoc's wrist. She forced him to drop the knife, then spun him a bit harder than necessary.
Murdoc went screaming through the window.
Willow came running in from her perch outside in the hallway.
"Oops," Buffy said, blushing. Willow looked out the window.
"You pushed somebody out the window?" Willow asked.
"Some assassin," Buffy said with a shrug. Willow looked around.
"No body," Willow said.
"What?" Buffy declared, surprised.
"No body. And that was a three story drop," Willow said.
"Hrunh," came from the bed. Both turned, distracted from the missing assassin who should have been dead if not severely disabled from his fall.
"He's waking up. I'll go get the doctor," Willow said, excited.
"Call Pete, too," Buffy called after her rushing friend.
"Got it!" Willow called. Buffy turned her attention back to the waking figure in front of her.
AN: So I manage to get Murdoc in there. It's a good thing I'm not going to be job hunting based on my skills of impersonating Murdoc. I think I did a bad job of his dialog. Please review, constructive criticism welcome.
