Chapter 3b
00:47
Not long later, Jack, Buffy and Adam were arriving at Gwen’s flat, running across the street, guns in hands, and stopping at the front door. Jack rang the bell incessantly until Gwen answered. “Jack?”
“Gwen, it’s us!” Jack exclaimed. The door buzzed open and the three of them headed straight upstairs and went into Gwen’s living room at her shout of where she was...
Pointing her gun at Rhys?
“What’s going on?” Jack asked, bemused, his gun aimed at Rhys wavering.
“Gwen?” Buffy said, cautiously.
“Look!” Gwen grabbed a photo off the nearby table. “He’s put photographs of us up! He must have done it while I was at work!”
Buffy looked sideways at Jack, who still had his gun out, and he looked back at her, just as confused.
“He’s deluded!” Gwen continued. “He keeps saying he’s my boyfriend!”
“Uh ... Gwen? He is your boyfriend ...” Buffy said, gently, lowering her gun and moving across to her. She put a hand on Gwen’s gun and tried to lower it. “It’s Rhys.”
“I’ve never seen him before in my life!” Gwen yelled.
“Gwen, he was here when Xander, Willow, Anya and I came through the rift. Don't you remember? You were wearing that black dress because you’d been out with him.” Buffy tilted her head slightly, looking, confusedly, at Gwen.
“See?” Rhys shouted. Gwen lifted her gun up again instinctively.
“Give me the gun, Gwen,” Jack said, reaching out.
“No! He grabbed me, Jack, who knows what he was going to do!”
Buffy grabbed the gun, wrenching it from her grip so fast Gwen hardly had chance to blink. “How can you say that?” she breathed. “Rhys wouldn't hurt a fly.”
“What have you done to her?” Rhys demanded.
“Nothing!” Jack and Buffy yelled in sync.
“I know what kind of sick games you play!” Rhys threw himself at Jack, fists first.
“Leave him alone!” Gwen shrieked.
“We’re engaged!” Rhys screamed back. “I bought you the bloody ring you’re wearing!”
Gwen looked down at her finger, a look of utter confusion breaking over her face.
00:58
Buffy looked across Adam at Gwen, the three of them sat in the back of the SUV. “Gwen,” she said, calmly, “you remember me, right?” Gwen nodded, tears slipping down her face. “And Jack?” Another nod and a sniff. “And Adam?” A third nod.
“Then why don't you remember Rhys?” Jack asked from the driver’s seat.
She shook her head, mumbling, “I don't know.”
Buffy caught Jack’s eye in the rear-view mirror and he shrugged almost imperceptibly. She looked back at Gwen, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a tissue to offer to her. Gwen took it, sniffed again and wiped her eyes, muttering, “Thanks.”
Buffy looked back at Jack. “What is it with people today?” she asked. She checked her watch. “Okay ... yesterday,” she corrected. “Gwen’s forgotten Rhys, Spike knows too much about us, I forgot Adam and so did Gwen ... What’s going on?”
“I don't know, but I plan to find out,” Jack said.
01:12
“Owen says Gwen’s fine,” Jack said, as he and Buffy took a cup of coffee each off Ianto, barely even acknowledging his existence. “He’s going to keep an eye on her, but there doesn’t seem to be any long-term damage to her memory or alien intervention.”
“I’ve got Xander to record Rhys talking about how he met Gwen and the like,” Buffy said, “and Owen and Tosh are still trying to work out what that box is.”
“Box?”
“Yeah, the one Adam found. Well, I think it was Adam.” She pondered for a moment. “I’m not sure.”
“Well, if they find anything, let me know.” Jack began to move away, but Buffy stopped him with a hand on his arm.
“You want to come back to mine?” she asked.
“My clothes are all here,” Jack said.
Buffy smiled softly. “So bring them with you. It’s about time you moved your stuff to my place,” she said, posing the statement more as a question. “We spend too much time down that hole in the floor. It can’t be good for us.”
“Are you asking me to move in with you?” Jack asked, setting his coffee back down on the tray Ianto was holding.
Buffy nodded. “Interested?”
“Yes!” Jack grabbed her and hugged her, lifting her clean off the ground and spinning her around. “I’d love to!” he exclaimed.
Ianto set the tray down nearby and walked out of Jack’s office.
