I had been expectin' Giles to get on my case about not trainin' the girls like I should have been, but so far he had laid low and been cool about it, which did me just fine. This whole business with Julie was naggin' me and I couldn't for the life of me shake it off. She didn't deserve to be there and I hadn't gotten any word yet of someone doin' somethin' about it. What the hell good was bein' a super hero if I couldn't do anythin' to keep the little chica out of jail.
I had been pent up in my room for days tryin' to convince myself this wasn't my fault. I had done what I could to try and protect her, how the hell was I supposed to know someone would nark. Well, we weren't so much ratted out, more like accidental slip of stupidity, which annoyed me to the point of wantin' to stake someone just for the sake of somethin' to ease my mind.
When I had finally decided to leave my room I had slipped and fell on the wet floor. Well if that just didn't put a topper on my self involved, inner punishment cake I had been cookin' then I don't know what did. I picked myself up off the floor and looked around. The placed seemed empty, which I knew was very unlikely around this joint, but hey, ya never know.
I walked over to the office, careful not to land on my ass again and called out.
"Yo! Anyone here?"
