Meanwhile as Willow and Oz spoke in the living room Joyce leaned against the kitchen counter as Giles walked into the Kitchen behind her, "Joyce..." He trailed off unsure what to say in this situation. How could he assure he that things would be all right when he himself feared the worst?
A few tears rolled down the woman's face, "Why is this happening. I thought now that the mayor was gone.." she paused a moment as she turned to face him, "I thought maybe now Buffy would be save, she could live a normal life. Is that so hard to believe? And that poor girl, Buffy told me some of the story but to be taken from the hospital and to have god knows what happen to you..." She stopped as the tears came quicker now and she couldn't go on.
"Yes well that's why we're here. We need to find out exactly what is going to happen so we can help Buffy stop it." Giles said taking his glasses off, and taking a step closer to Joyce, "We just need to get a step ahead of them." He continued to even sure that he still had the faith to lead them. He wasn't even a watcher now. And he felt rather responsible for what happened to Xander and Faith. He should have known. He should have realized that Faith would be the easy target. She would be the one they were after and not Buffy.
"We're not a step ahead of them!" Joyce replied angrily and crying, "their ahead of us." She sobbed, as tears flow from her eyes freely, "Rupert I don't want to lose my daughter." She said simply. Giles lowered his head not sure what to say.
He understood all to well how she felt. "I know, I don't want to lose her either. Buffy is very dear to me as well Joyce." Was all he could say he looked back up at the tear stained face of the disheveled woman. "I'll do everything in my power to protect her." He added quite seriously as he placed his glasses back on his face. The last words he spoke seemed to give a small amount of comfort and relief to Buffy's mother.
