[Bones is missing. Buffy hardly believed it at first--she had been distracted the first night by her argument with Jack and the subsequent solace found in Spike's apartment.

No, I haven't. I assumed he was working late at the clinic. Maybe he went to go get supplies of some kind. [ a pause before she speaks again, voice tinged with concern. ] ...you don't think anything's wrong, do you?

/placing this post Jack's tag but pre Bones'....so

[slaying]

Maybe. I mean--[Jack had implied a few things. She worries her bottom lip some more.] You're at home, right? Meet me in the kitchen.

/gotcha!

[thirdhost]

Sure, I'll be there in a second.

[ and she does just that, shutting her journal and leaving it on the desk as she makes her way into the kitchen. ]

[Buffy's working away at the coffee machine, preparing yet another mediocre pot of java.]

He's in the desert. [No need to hold back on the truth.] That's what I've been told, at least.
