I looked down at the two policemen - well, policepersons, seeing as how one was of the female variety - relieved to see they were all right. It rarely turned out good when cops got mixed up in our business, which was why they usually left it to us. Unlike back in Sunny D, the police force in Cleveland acknowledged the existence of things that go bump in the night. Sure, they didn’t broadcast it on the six-o’clock news, but they had done what they could to stop the monsters before we came to town.

"Nighthawk, this is Burninator, I’m showing 36 room-temp bodies walking around in there. Suggest attack pattern Delta.” Andrew’s voice came over the comm., bringing my focus back to the sitch at hand. He was in the mobile command center, a.k.a. The Bus.

They finished off the rest of the vamps quickly, then the gang surveyed the battle scene.

“Looks like that’s it,” Buffy said. ”Burninator, confirm no more hostiles in the target zone.”

“Scanning… Confirmed. Only four warm bodies in the zone. Those being yours, of course.”

“Coolness. Nest neutralized. Yay, us,” Buffy cheered.

“This calls for cookies, and maybe a movie!”

“Whoa! Slow down there, Will, you party animal, you!” Xander grinned.

“Aren’t you supposed to have popcorn with a movie?” Dawn pointed out.

“I’m a non-conformist,” Willow replied, nodding her head.

“I second the vote for a movie. As long as its something with Hugh Grant,” Buffy added.

“Oh c’mon, Buff, all his movies are chick-flicks! Can’t we at least go with a zany comedy?” Xander pleaded. “Something with a monkey or Jim Carrey?”
