Authors Note: I just want to say thanks to my reviewers – I’ll acknowledge at the bottom who you are. I love my posting here at AFF.NET – the readers and writers here are very welcoming and talented and my only wish is to aspire to be a fraction as good as those who already post here. My first experience in posting fan fic was well placed in the hearts and hands of this elite and select group of fellow Buffy and Angel enthusiasts.


Page 4 – Surprise! Surprise!

Riley never knew what hit him, I barged through the barricades grabbing anyone who got in my way and tossed them aside like rag dolls. I was so focused on getting to Riley that I never noticed all the red laser beams pointed at my head and heart lighting me up like a Christmas tree in broad daylight.

NOTE: Giles in this journal I am going to write in play acting mode and story telling mode switching back and forth from telling it and to acting it. Okay? Cause you know me, I was never one to think within the box! And Giles don’t even go there by thinking that I don’t do much thinking. So here goes…

“Buffy?”

Ugh, duh? Have I ever mentioned that I get that an awful lot from guys? Damn! I knew all that coffee I drank on the plane was gonna make me loopy!

Slowly letting go of Riley’s shirt and raising my arms up and out, I quickly replied, “Ah, hi Riley and sorry? I just didn’t want to waste my time explaining to your men who I was and getting the canned story that the media and general public were being fed. Plus can you tell your men to take their sights off me cause I’m starting to feel like a laser pin cushion here”.

Once Riley got his wits back he ordered his men to stand down and hurried me to the black van where he ran the operation of securing the area, ordering everyone out so we could talk in private.

Looking closely at him, I noticed how the years had not been kind to him, he looked haggard and some wisps of pre-mature gray hair were starting to pepper through his sandy colored hair. It also was the first time I noticed that he was missing his left hand and had one of those hook looking thing-ies that was so Government Issue with its practicality with no aesthetic appeal.

So how are you and Sam? I was trying to be polite and dispense with the formalities before asking what I really wanted to ask him.

“Buffy….you look great, lovely as always,” and Sam is fine, I was just getting ready to go see her.

Hedging, hedging is never of the good, I see “but face” coming on.

“But (see?) its not that I’m not glad to see you but you know better than to barge into a government run operation unannounced. You could’ve been shot if not for the fact that my men knew you were through our briefings. Besides Faith told me you were headed toward the Hyperion”.

“You’re talking to Faith? Since when do you know Faith? Well besides that one time she was using my body to screw you into the mattress?” I am so gonna pummel Faith for keeping that bit of 411 from me. Hello, Earth to Buffy get back to the business at hand and then make with the pummeling later.

Sorry Giles I know you well enough to know that by now you are exasperated and polishing your glasses wanting me to get on with it so let me shed my play acting mode and switch back to story telling mode.

I told Riley that the cockamamie story about a “gas explosion” and the riots it triggered was as lame as the “wild bear” story back in Sunnydale and I knew I’d find him here at the scene.

Riley brought me up to speed on current personal events explaining that he lost his hand fighting demons in Australia and was now assigned as an officer in charge of operations and was no longer a fighting soldier. Sam had retired from military service and they now have a daughter, a 12 year old orphaned girl they adopted when her family was killed while on duty at Australia. Apparently he lost his hand in saving her life.

Irony of ironies their little girl is now a slayer and she was left to be schooled and trained at the Hyperion. Sam decided to stay on as a teacher and trainer and along with Robin Woods they were also training new Watchers at the slayer/watcher academy.

Giles we are going to have a serious talk about keeping me current after I find my vamps. I’m so tired of the men in my life making decisions for me and keeping things from me.

After we talked for awhile and I told Riley about my life and how Dawn was living in Rome going to school there; an awkward uneasiness slowly settled between us. We both knew it was time to talk about what happened here.

Reluctantly Riley informed me that the government has always had Wolfram and Hart especially Angel and his team in constant surveillance and that is how they were there to help the slayers in battling back the demon horde.

He had a video that showed the fighting and he asked me if I wanted to view it there in private while he waited outside. All of a sudden all the caffeine and sugar rush left my system as I agreed and he left to wait outside as my trembling finger hovered over the button to start the video.

Tbc…


My thanks to:

Stoney - read your fic “Au Contraire, Au Pair” – I totally loved it! Left my review and you are right the readers here are the best. PS – You’re the only Stoney right? Cause if I’ve blundered than may the PTB punish me by making me stay in the Xander Harris basement on the 4th of July with the drunken, bickering, bitter and angry couple as company! S!
S!

Katrina – you take the time to post reviews and thanks for letting me know that I capture Buffy – that was one thing I was worried that I would not be able to do.

Anon – sorry about the cliffhangers – you do know that I’ve got my fingers crossed behind my back about that apology though don’t you!

To anyone who I have missed Thank You!
