Chapter 3: Finding Alec

Mayor's office

He had an appointment with the mayor today but he really didn't want to go. For some reason he felt like he just wanted to stay at home and sleep. He couldn't believe that Buffy had acted the way she did and the worst part was that she didn't even try to stop him when he walked out. He had told her a big secret and she just stared at him like he was some kind of freak.

"Mr. McDowell the mayor will see you now," the mayor secretary said and she motioned to the door that he was supposed to walk through. He really didn't want to do this today. "Sir the mayor is a busy man and he doesn't have time to wait," she said when he didn't move.

"Sorry," Alec said when he got up and walked through the office. When he walked in he saw the mayor standing up and playing mini golf. And standing next to him was an African American man in a red suit.

"Mr. McDowell," the mayor said as he saw Alec standing by the door. "May I call you Alec?" he asked.

"Sure," Alec said confused by the way the man was talking to him.

"Please…take a seat," the mayor said as he handed the other man his golf club and walked around the desk to sit in front of Alec. "I want you to know one thing son, I know everything about everything and you being here isn't a mystery to me," he said. "I know why you're here and I want to tell you that you will not succeed." He explained. "For example…Mr. Trick if you don't mind," the mayor said handing the other man a knife.

"Sir," the guy named Mr. Trick said.

"You know what to do," the mayor said. Mr. Trick took the knife and drove it through the mayor's hand and all he did was lift it up and show Alec. He slowly pulled the knife out and the whole that was once in his hand disappeared and it looked like nothing happened. "You see…you won't be able to kill me 494," the mayor said. "Now if you don't mind I have another meeting," he said as he stood up and gestured toward the door. "You can tell your commanding officer that you failed, because I'm still alive," he said as Alec walked out.

Alec walked by everyone not saying a word. He just walked; he couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. Yet the other thing on his mind was that if he went back to Manticore and told them what had happened he wouldn't be sent back and that means…no more Buffy.

Sunnydale High

Buffy had went home about and hour later after looking for Alec, he had seemed like he had just disappeared off the face of the earth. The next day when she went to school she continued looking for him hoping that he would show but so far she wasn't having any luck. Not to mention that she had very little time to worry about he possible boyfriend because the mayor was becoming more and more powerful, which meant that the big day was coming where she would have to face off with him. Luckily the new slayer in town, Faith, was here because Buffy honestly didn't know if she would be able to face the mayor alone.

Buffy was working out when Xander and Willow walked through the door. Xander saw Buffy and smiled, mostly because all she was wearing was a sports bra and a pair of shorts…Buffy honestly didn't know when she would ever understand Xander. Willow and Xander walked over to the table as Giles walked out of his office, Buffy too sat in a chair deciding that today's training was over.

"So Buffster, what happened with Alec after you guys left the Bronze last night?" he asked as he set him bag on the table and pulled out a fruit rollup.

"Nothing," Buffy said as she looked at them. She knew they knew that she was lying but she didn't care, she really didn't want to explain to them what Alec had explained to her…mostly because she didn't understand it. "Anything new with you guys?" she asked them. "Anything interesting?"

"You know us Buff; we turn to you for entertainment." Willow said with a smile as she started to eat her apple.

"Giles," Buffy said when she saw him reading a book. "Anything evil coming into town this weekend?" she asked. She knew she sounded desperate but she really didn't want to sit around her house wondering where Alec had gone to. She needed, wanted, to get her mind off of him for a while.

"Not that I know of," he said as he took a seat next to them. Just then the bell rang and he looked at them as none of them moved. "Class," he said and they all got up from there chairs and walked out of the library.

Buffy headed to the girls locker room to change and then she would head to class. She was never on time for first period, mostly because it was study hall and they didn't need her there to sit and stair off into space. When she opened the door to the girl's locker room she saw Alec sitting on one of the benches.

"Alec, how did you get in here," she asked pulling him into one of the isles where no one hand a locker.

"I needed to see you," he said as he looked at her. "What I told you last night was something that I should have never told you because not only does it put you in danger but also everyone else you love," he said. "Especially since I have to go back now," he said.

"What do you mean you have to go back…go back where?" she asked as she grabbed a hold of his hands.

"Manticore," he said. "Where I am held like and animal until they find a use for me," he said as she looked at her. He tried to pull away but she just held on to him tighter.

"You're staying here…with me," she said.

"But they'll come after us," he said.

"And they'll find us but they have to get through me and my friends in order to get to you," she said. "Alec I don't want you to go," she said.

"I don't want to go either but I don't want to see you get hurt," he said as he pressed his forehead against Buffy.

"I won't get hurt," she told him as she brought he hands up to his face and held his face in-between her hands. "I promise," she said as she brought her lips to his. "I have to get to class," she said when she pulled away. "See you later…at the Bronze?' she asked.

"Yeah," he said but he didn't sound too sure.

The Bronze

Buffy arrived at the Bronze around seven hoping that Alec would have showed up early, but he wasn't there. So she walked over and sat with her friends and waited. She waited till ten and still he didn't show up so she gave up and walked home alone not knowing if she would ever see him again.

AN: Until next time.
