I was quite nervous while I drove over to Sunnydale. I still don't know what possessed Giles to ask me for this job, but I owed him a favor. He asked me to take over his role as 'guide'. For his children, so they wouldn't get into trouble while he was away in England. And for Faith, because she was not the Slayer of the hellmouth. Right, as if either of them would listen to me. Not all that long ago they were mocking me and taunting me. And Faith and I spend some joyous moments in that apartment and the five basic torture groups.
Dear lord, what was I thinking when I said yes to Giles? They'll never listen to me. Faith most certainly wont ever listen to me. Hell, if I'm completely honest with myself, I'l have to admit that the girl still frightens me. Still, I said yes and now I'll have to face the facts. I suppose I should be glad the others are there already. Fred, Cordy and Angel. And well, with Giles gone they do need a researcher. Giles also mentioned something about Willow being in need of guidance for her magic.
I'm half tempted to turn the car around and drive back to Los Angeles. But I'm not a coward. I'll just...have to suck it up, as it were.
Gunn assured me he'd take care of things for the time being. Several times. I think he was getting a bit tired of me asking. But I just want to make certain the agency is going to be alright, and the people and demons taken care off. What with all of us but Gunn away. Luckily he has his crew. But still, I worry. I know he was doing that job before he met us, as he pointed out frequently, but that's not quite the same is it?
Bloody hell, Sunnydale already? It's closer by then you think isn't it? Passing the sign, I follow Giles' directions. He told me I could stay at his apartment while he was away. Since that's where most of the books were anyway. And I need a place to keep my own books, the ones I brought along. And my weapons of course. Fred and Cordelia are staying in the mansion with Angel. I've not been able to reach them yet, but I can contact them tomorrow. It's getting rather late.
Parking the car, I lean against it and stare at Giles apartment. He told me where he'd leave his key so I could get in if he wasn't there. I'm uncertain if that meant he had already left for England or if he might be out. Patrolling with Faith? I don't know, I guess I'll find out. Now, should I get my things out now? Or do it tomorrow. I'm very tired, but I'd really hate to leave them in the car where anyone could get to them. Especially the books. And the weapons.
