Chapter 329
Buffy woke up dazed and confused. Some potential slayer she was. She'd been kidnapped twice and failed to protect Dawn or Jessie. Dawn survived her kidnapping only because of Conner's mercy. Jessie wasn't so lucky. Buffy remembered being drugged by that creep Frwley, likely the same guy who kidnapped Oz. Buffy saw the screens, one of them had Mr Trick, another Colonel Mcnamara. Mcnamara tried to get Trick to spare Buffy's life. Trick didn't budge. Buffy figured out what was going down. Trick was auctioning off some kind of weapon, and was using Buffy as the test subject. Mcnamara threatened to walk away if Buffy died. Trick seemed to think that after the weapon was proven effective Mcnamara would fear it falling into their enemies' hands, and would pay more. Mcnamara might walk away in nger, but Trick was willing to risk it. Buffy didn't know who the others on the screen were, but she had a few ideas. She would try to destroy the weapon, or at least go down fighting. Then Buffy saw it, or them more specifically. They rose from the sand on the ground. Five of them, for now, all with swords. Five walking, fighting, skeletons.
