Willow and Wesley had stayed behind while Buffy and Angel had gone after Faith and her sister. They both hadn't wanted to get in the way. Their abilities lay elsewhere and they both knew it. Though, Willow had an easier time admitting this then Wesley ever would.
Chalk it up to fragile male ego.
Instead they had talked about what had been happening in both their lives while they waited. And worried. And waited. And mostly worried.
When the others finally returned, sans Faith, they both looked up and frowned.
"Where's..." Willow started, only to be interrupted by an obvious irate Buffy. The redhead winced and quickly sat back down.
"Spike?" Wesley asked at the same time, pulling off his glasses and giving them both a look of confusion. "This is getting more complicated by the second." Where had Spike, of all people, come from and what did he want with Faith?
Angel sent a glare in Buffy's direction. It's not like he had intended for Spike to snatch up Faith during a second that he had been a little distracted and run off with her. Doing the blame thing wouldn't exactly accomplish anything right now, though. What they needed to do was regroup and find Spike and Faith. That was what the important thing was

"Tell me about it," Buffy replied to Wesley with another heave of a sigh. She was really at a loss now, feeling completely helpless. How were they ever going to get a second chance to help Faith?
The other Slayer was slipping away by the second. And beating the crap out of her clearly hadn't helped anything. If she had been quicker, or if something hadn't distracted Angel, they could be helping her right now. Ugh!
"And what happens if we find her again?" she asked, looking at everyone, "Another smackdown that will totally cement her hating us?"
She shook her head, "I don't know if going straight for her again like this will do any good. But, we really need to get her away from Spike. I'm sure he's planting loads of bullshit in her mind."
He'd rather not tell her about it, Wesley realised. In fact it was probably for the best if he kept quiet. He had learned from experience. And experience had taught him that these people barely tolerated but definitely didn't like him. Not had they ever been inclined to listen
