Chapter 3
"You were talking to the First Evil? The power that tried to make me kill you and go bad again?" Angel asked. "Why would it resurface, make you leave?"
"So it could get me out of the way." Buffy told him while dialing Sunnydale. "It'd have it's way and overrun my town. Giles? Giles, are you there? It's me. I know I haven't called in like, 5 years or whatever, but if you're there or as soon as you get this message please call me. The number's 712-550-3478. Thanks. Give my love to the gang. Bye."
"He's not home?" Angel asked.
"No." Buffy shook her head. "Something's wrong. I can feel it. Giles never lets his machine pick up. Hell, I didn't even know he owned one. I've gotta get to Sunnydale. I'll get on the first plane out of here tomorrow."
"What about Connor?" Angel argued. "Or your hotel? You can't just pack up and leave Buffy."
"He's your son, too." Buffy retorted. "He can come with or he can stay here, I don't care. Connor knows how to look after himself. As for the hotel, I'll close up shop for a few days. My friends are in danger, okay? You'd do the same thing."
Buffy grabs her jacket and walks out. She wasn't about to let her friends, who were like family, die by some corporeal evil thingie. She just prayed they'd be safe till she got there.
