I glanced at the door tiredly as Faith left. Again. Ah yes, go team. Honestly, why do I bother? Why is she being so headstrong and stubborn? I just don't understand. I'm starting to think I've imagined our little talk the other day when I visited her. I should've known better. Don't let anyone close, they'll only hurt you. Sighing, I look over at Cordelia on the bed. Either asleep or pretending to be asleep. Either way she's made it pretty clear she doesn't want to be disturbed.
Putting down the book I check my watch. It might be the right time to call Giles now. He should be awake. And the longer I'm going to push this off the harder it'll get. I wonder once again why I should be the one to call him. Of course I can't very well ask Dawn to do it. But I'll have to call him and tell him the news. Make certain he stays in England. He'll be a number one target the moment he sets foot in Sunnydale. Not to mention that I don't think Buffy would want him to see her like this.
Tomorrow I'll go over to Dawn, we'll have to tell her as well. But for now she can at least get one night of rest. It'll be one of her last of that I've no doubt. I'll send her to England which will also ensure that Giles will stay there. Grabbing my telephone I glance over at Cordelia again. I'd better make this call in the bathroom, I don't want to disturb her.
Thumbing through the phone book in my cell I find the number of the safe house in england quick enough. Taking a deep breath I look at it for a long time. "No use waiting any longer, Pryce old boy." Nodding at myself I press the number and bite my lip while I wait for someone to pick up the phone.
