Chapter 92
Buffy sometimes found herself thinking about Angel. He might be an ally, but he still seemed like a creepy older guy. On Tuesday night Buffy was walking home after training with Giles. Angel found her again. She knew this wasn't good.
Buffy: What do you want?
Angel: I thought you should know, there's a new vampire in town.
Buffy: And you expect me to slay him?
Angel: If you're ready. Either way you should be warned.
Buffy: What do I need to know/
Angel: I don't know his real name, but he's called "Claw." He cut off his own hand and replaced it with a metal fork=like weapon. Don't give him a moment's mercy, he'll rip your throat out.
Buffy: How old is Claw?
Angel: I'd estimate at least 80.
Buffy: So there's no chance he was a friend of mine when he was human?
Angel: Not unless you believe in reincarnation.
Buffy: And he's one of the creatures who turned my childhood friend into a monster?
Angel: I doubt he did it personally, but yeah, same kind of monster.
Buffy: I'm in. Claw is dust.
