Chapter 2

Boston Harbor, Boston, Ma

King stood leaning against the railing watching the sun set as he kept his ears open for the familiar sound of Abby’s motorcycle. He was deep in thought over the past nights events, trying to figure out how they could have missed all the signs. Slamming his hands down he pushed himself away from the guard rail. Spotting Abby turning onto the dock at full speed, he moved to go inside and greet her.

***
Pulling a hard right, Abby turned onto the dock that held their water base. Gunning her engine as she speed towards the doors, a million thoughts running in her head as she moved her body closer to the machine to go faster. Watching the double steel doors open she slammed on her breaks just as she entered and turned to come to a screeching halt in front of King. Taking off her helmet, she threw it to King, as she got off the bike and started jogging up the stairs taking them two at a time as she was taking her gloves off, throwing questions behind her, knowing that king was a step behind her.

“How long ago did it start? Was anyone hurt? Who set it off?”

“A few hours ago, I was training the newbie’s, when Zoë ran into the room to tell me about it.” He replied quickly.

“what was she doing messing with the security equipment?” she asked as she sat down in front of the main console.

“she wasn’t she was in the actual room when it started. She claimed that she could hear it calling to her.” King said calmly

Accessing the system Abby’s hand stopped mid flight across the key board for just a second before she shook her head and started typing again, not wanting to think what that might mean. Abby pulled up the security footage of the weapons room starring contently at the image lost in her thoughts she almost missed what King was saying.

“… caught one of Danica’s spies trying to infiltrate the system.”

Clearing her throat, not taking her eyes off the image in front of her asked. “What?”

Raising an eyebrow, King repeated what he had been saying. “I said that after Zoë came and got me an alert was sounded. Apparently one of Danica’s hackers was trying to get in the system. Abby are you sure…”

“Did they get anything?” she demanded

“no the whore monger was too busy gloating to get anywhere, and after the raid two weeks ago security caught it before the virus could do any damage.”

“Good” turning to face him Abby started giving out orders.

“Send an encryption to go out to the other bases, two team patrols, on to double the security and the other to hit all the hot spots. I also want a team of our best to get together and patrol the most crowded places, oh and call Blade;” turning back to the screen she continued in a monotone voice, “tell him a new player is coming into town.”

Slamming his fists on the table to get her attention, King made sure that he held her gaze, feeling close to rage rise up in him at the thought of being excluded.

“I am not just anybody Abigail; you are not going to exclude me from this. I was there right along side you when it happened.”

“Yes, and she died all the same.”

His eyes flashing slightly as he tried to control his anger. “You don’t know that, they only found one body and couldn’t even make out who it was from the damage, they just said it was a young woman; you and I both know that she could still be alive…”

Standing up from her spot Abby and King tried to stare each other down. Five minutes had passed before Abby conceded the point and grudgingly gave in. “fine…”

“Are you sure you okay squirt? Your looking a little green.” Faith asked the youngest summers as they were passing over Vegas, the older of the three was taking a nap next to Dawn blissfully unaware of her little sisters predicament.

“No, no, I’m fine, I’m sure. It’s just the turbulence.” Dawn squeaked out.

Raising her eyebrow Faith wasn’t sure if she should mention that there hadn’t been any turbulence the whole flight so far and they were still about 5 ½ hours away.

Faith flashed the girl her trademark grin as she attempted to distract Dawn from her air sickness. “not to worry Dawn your gonna have fun in old bean town, I will take you and B there on a tour when we get there.”

“I have to find the SIT first though.” Dawn said worrying slightly if she would make a good watcher. Though she was slightly glad that she would be going to Boston which was a mini hell mouth or was it hell eye. She couldn’t remember, at the moment she was just thankful for Faith distracting her. Listening and laughing at some of Faiths storied that she told. She didn’t even mind Buffy’s light snoring as she started to feel more and more relaxed.
