I do not own any characters in this fic. All Buffy characters are property of Joss Whedon. I own nothing except my own twisted mind.

Part One

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Slayer wandered down the dark abandoned street. Her hair had not been brushed in days, and her face was grimy. Her clothes were not much better.

As she meandered down the empty street, she became aware of a presence following her. With one smooth movement, she pivoted on one foot and slammed the person into a wall, stake raised.

And just as quickly pulled the blow. Looking back at her was Whistler.

"What do you want, Whistler?" she asked in a voice hoarse with exhaustion.

"Geez kid, between you and Kendra's sucsessor, my chiropractors bill is gonna be in the quadruptle digits."

"If you're here to make bad jokes..."

Whistler became sober. "Nah. Got something I want to show you. But first, you're gonna have to put me down."

Reluctantly, Buffy put Whistler down. He jerked the plum jacket straight. "That's better. Come on."

Whistler led her to a manhole cover, took it off, and wrinkled his nose. "God. People just can't build temples above ground? Gad."

Buffy shot him an annoyed look. "You're going first Whistler. I don't trust you."

Whistler shrugged. "Fine with me, kid. Ugghh."

With that, he lowered himself into the manhole. With a sigh, Buffy climbed down after him.
