Chapter 6

Since she'd transferred to Sunnydale detective Kate Lockley had seen some strange things, some she couldn't properly explain, others she didn't even try to. Kate had seen more than a few dead bodies, and always hated it. An innocent young girl, her whole life ahead of her, murdered by this evil man. Kate cae to the scene and arrested him. She talked to the sole witness, a civilian named Buffy Summers. This wasn't the firs time a civilian tried to be a hero, it usually didn't end well. Buffy might be strong, but she shouldn't do this again. Detective Lockley tried conveying this to Buffy Summers, who assured her she wasn't planning to make a habit of this. The doctor gave Buffy a routine exam, she seemed fine physically. The police gave Buffy the number of a psychiatrist she could talk to if she needed it, then Buffy was released into her mother's custody. Buffy knew she would probably need to talk to this shrink, possibly for years, and Marcie was gone forever. But the murderer was caught, going to spend the rest of his life in prison, possibly awaiting the gas chamber. So it seemed like justice was served, for the most part all was right with the world. Or so it seemed. As Kate brought this man to the police station he didn't seem at all sorry for taking the young girls life, he actually seemed proud. Kate tried to ask him his name but all he gave was "Internuntius Caligo." Kate used her cellphone to look up what this meant. It was Latin for "Messengar of darkness."
