Faith's apartment was burned to the ground late Friday night. I've been trying to get hold of her, but to no avail. Have any of you spoken to her lately? If you've seen or heard anything, please let me know.

Oh...fuck.

No, no I haven't. Wes, what the fuck, when did...No, I...god, we need to find her!

When's the last time you talked to her? The Gala?

[miseryismyotp]

Yessss, the gala. I left her my keys at the coat check but it was all lost in translation and then my house burned down and

fuck fuck fuck fuck shit.

What happened, Conrad? She told me she'd had to walk home. She seemed...she hung up on me. And now this?

Locked - [voice]

[miseryismyotp]

I don't know, Wes! I had to get home, the sun was coming up! I didn't want to drag her out before she was ready to go so I thought I'd leave her my car!

[demonologist]

[Snapping tone.]

Perhaps next time you ought to tell her you're leaving her your car. She's not psychic, you know.

[Then he sighs, relenting.]

I'm sorry, it's just I'm worried about what might have happened to her. Angelus is still on the loose. Perhaps he discovered her duplicity, realising that we were still working together. I shouldn't have--

[So many things he shouldn't have.]

I shouldn't have risked making contact with her again. What if I somehow blew her cover?

Locked - [voice]

[miseryismyotp]

Fucking-

[No, now is not the time for arguments]

I'm going to go look for her.

Locked - [voice] (handwaving him finding out for convenience)

[demonologist]

I'm going out in my car. If you want to join me, that's fine. But I seem to recall you are also able to shapeshift?

[miseryismyotp]

I can't fly.

[demonologist]

What would you rather do? Search together or take the east/west separately?

Locked - [voice]

[miseryismyotp]

I don't know. What's more thorough?

Locked - [voice]

[demonologist]

An expanding spiral grid pattern from a central starting point is usually the most efficient. Since we will have to contend with navigating streets, and alley ways however, I could draw up some kind of search grid using a map of the city. You can have half of it and that way we'll cover more ground and won't overlap.

[miseryismyotp]

But there's only two of us. Doesn't she know more people?

Locked - [voice]

[demonologist]

Bonnie and...a friend are looking for her as well, using their vampiric sense of smell, apparently.

There are others who are friends of mine who are keeping an eye out for any official word of her turning up at the Sheriff's Department. Jack Harkness helped put out the fire, so he's also on the alert.

I already made a round of the main hospitals and clinics.

[He sounds tired but determined not to give up.]

[miseryismyotp]

Spike? Spike's looking for her?

Did you try the prison?

Re: Locked - [voice]

[demonologist]

No, not Spike.

[Who wasn't a vampire right now, but Wes wasn't at liberty to divulge that.]

And actually I didn't think of that. But Buffy's with the Sheriff's Dept. If she's been arrested, she'd find out soon enough.
