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.

... You're kidding.

[demonologist]

I wish I was, Buffy.

I am not sure if I can risk filing a missing person's report with the BNSD, but if you could keep your eyes and ears open for anything which might be pertinent, I'd be grateful.

[isaywe_party]

Yeah, if I see her, I'll let you know.

[takes a breath]

I tried to talk to her, Wes. I did.

[demonologist]

You did? When was this? Are you...I take it, it didn't go well.

[isaywe_party]

It was a few weeks ago? She pretty much threw it back in my face and kicked me out.

[demonologist]

Ouch. Well, she's never been one with talking things out. The 'touchy-feely crap' as she puts it.

I've spoken to her more recently than that. At the Gala and then on the network. She seemed a bit off, but she's been annoyed at me before.

I just want to make sure she's all right. Jack says the fire destroyed everything and there was a strong smell of gasoline. He's also sure that there were no bodies inside, so that's a comfort at least.

[isaywe_party]

If I find her, I'll let you know. I'll keep an eye out.

[demonologist]

Thank you, Buffy.

[It's the not knowing part that's gnawing away at him. Making him second guess all of his previous interactions with her.]
