I woke up, Buffy curled against me, and glanced at the clock. It was around three in the morning. I gently eased her out of my arms and wandered to the bathroom to get a drink of water. I looked in the mirror and rubbed my face. Damn I'm tired. I walk back to the bed and I stand there looking down at her asleep. She's gorgeous and whatever I did to

I woke up when I felt the bed shift, to Riley laying beside me, kissing my forehead. Sleepily, I curled around him, snuggling when he put his hand on my back, holding me close.

Go back to sleep baby. It's still dark outside... time to sleep.

Yawning, I rolled on my back, then looked at him. "What time is it?" I wonder if Giles called. Sitting up, I look over on my nightstand, looking at my cellphone and I have no messages. "He didn't call." Shivering, I get back under the covers.

"He was supposed to call ..." Looking over at him, I add, "Did you get any phone calls?"

He was supposed to call ... Did you get any phone calls?

She rolled away from me, onto her back, then she lays back down under the covers after eyeing her cellphone. Like I had done just minutes ago. I pull her beside me again when she shivers, letting the warmth of my body warm her back up.

"Buffy... they'll call. We have to be patient and give them a little bit of chain to run on." I smile softly and pull the blanket up over her cold nose, winking. "We will hear from them, if not Giles, then my men will call tomorrow regardless. We'll get it, we'll help her." I fix the pillow under my head and settle on my back a bit more, smiling as her hand comes up to my chest, her face laying on the warm skin. I rub her arm to warm her up and kiss her lips softly.

"Sleep." I whisper.

He tells me to sleep again and now I'm wide awake. I'm worried, maybe I should call Faith and see how she is or something. Or call Giles. Not sure of which. I lay there, thinking of possiblities. My hand lays on his chest, as my fingers play across his skin. "Maybe I should call Faith, just in case."

Getting up from the bed, I walk over to the table and go through a bunch of papers, hoping that I can try to find something that's remotely close to her number. I know I don't have it, but still, maybe I can find something. Call Angel's office, maybe they're still there. Walking back over to the bed, I sit at the end of it, and pick up my cell phone calling Wolfram and Hart.

I watch as she gets up and hunts around for Faith's number, I glance at the clock as she sits on the end of the bed and dials a number on her cellphone. I sit up and move behind her, gently touching her back.

"Buffy... it's three in the morning, who are you calling?" I ask and move up, sitting beside her. "Faith's sleeping safely I'm sure, and if you're trying to call Wolfram & Hart they close pretty much at oh regular hours." She looks at me from the side of her eyes, they are wide and worried. I sit there quietly and wait as she listens to the line ring and ring and ring.

"Let's just... come back up here and sit with me." I move back up the bed and prop myself up, patting the bed beside me. "We'll talk, you look like you need to talk or something."
