Alternate Universe
Buffy Summers is an L.A.P.D. Detective by day, and is part of an underground system that helps battered and abused women get away from their attackers (mainly husbands or boyfriends) by night. Everything has been going well with the mission until her latest case walks in the door.
She meets Cordelia Chase, who is almost nine months pregnant, and is trying to flee from her abusive husband of 5 years, William “Spike” McDonald, who has threatened on numerous occasions to kill both her and their unborn child. Cordelia’s friends Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris decide to go to the F.B.I. when they find out about Buffy and Cordelia’s whereabouts.
They meet Liam “Angel” O’Connor and Wesley Wyndham Pryce there, who become assigned to investigate the situation. Will Buffy be caught and sent to prison for helping someone in need or will she be able to get Cordelia as far away from her husband as possible before the government figures out what’s going on?
