Joyce opens the door to the small art gallery. The walls are covered with paintings from both local and world renowed artists. A small collection of sulputres sit on tables throughout the main floor. Joyce walks over to the counter where Deanna, her employee is working unpacking boxes. Joyce drops her bag on the couch and runs over to help the seventh month pregnant woman.
JOYCE-
"Deanna...I wish you would have waited."
DEANNA-
"Sorry, Mrs. Summers. I was bored."
JOYCE-
"You're going to be worn out with you're not careful. And please, for the last time...called me Joyce. Look why don't you go to your doctor's appointment a little early today."
DEANNA-
"Ah, thank you, Mrs. Sum....I mean....Joyce." Deanna grabs her bag and leaves the gallery. Joyce opens a small box and pulls out a Nigerian tribal mask.
JOYCE-
"Oh, no...thanks going back...." She replaces the mask, just in case it was like the one that Pat had. She then opens another box, and pulls out a book. She opens it and glances at the writing. It was written in some strange writing. She could only think of one person who could make any sense of this.
Giles opens his door, and sees Joyce standing there.
GILES-
"Joyce, how are you?"
JOYCE-
"I'm fine, Rupert. This is a bad time?"
GILES-
"No...no. Come in. Tea?"
JOYCE-
"Yes, thank you. Rupert, I was unpacking some boxes for the gallery and I came across this book. I wanted to see if it was...you know....an evil book." Giles exchanges the book for a cup of tea. He sits in a chair, and starts studying. Suddenly, he gets a look of alarm on his face.
GILES-
"Where did this book come from?" Joyce pulls out the package label. It read: INSTABUL.
JOYCE-
"What is it?"
GILES-
"According to this....a very powerful vampire will arise from the dust of The Master."
JOYCE-
"The Master...Buffy told me about that guy. I thought she smashed his bones with a sledge hammer."
GILES-
"Yes she did. Angel and myself went back later and sweeped up the dust from the bones, placed them in a container, and buried it in holy ground."
JOYCE-
"The container...is was some sort of magic container?"
GILES-
"Uh...tuperware. We must get the container and keep it safe. I'll call Buffy."
After several attempts to call Buffy and only get her answering machine, Giles turns to Joyce.
GILES-
"Looks like I have do it."
JOYCE-
"No...we're doing it. But it has to be out secret."
GILES-
"Joyce, remember how well our last secret turned out."
JOYCE-
"Oh, come on....look Buffy is busy if college and the Slayer, and besides...there is no band candy."
