Buffy went to Miami with Dawn. The fall of Sunnydale had made them both want to get a change of scenery.
They'd found a small pay by the week hotel. Dawn and Buffy spent time on the beach swimming or sunning. Trying to forget all the sad events of the recent past.
The medallion had been sent to the hotel room. But Buffy wanted nothing to do with it, so she was taking it to a jewelers to get rid of it and maybe get a nice hunk of change.
They'd arrived just before the robbery happened. Buffy pulled Dawnie to the floor for cover. Two men, obviously cops, entered guns held high.
Buffy heard the cocking of the guns behind the counter before the policemen had. That was just her slayer instinct. She vaulted herself over the counter hoping to crack the heads of the robbers behind her. But not in time. A flash of gunfire slashed the air. She remained unharmed as did Dawn. Sadly one of the cops had not been saved.
Horatio told Buffy that his name had been Tim. His deep leathery face relaxed into a soft countenance of a child's face wet with tears.
She did not know what to say or do. She rubbed the red headed man's back and apologized. She decided to keep her true nature a secret. No need in freaking the man out even more. Unfortinatly he asked anyway.
"What happened, how.. Who are you?" Horatio queried. "And how did you know where those SOBs where?"
"It's just a thing I do, I have ummmm instincts and such. She muttered hesitatingly.
"Well..." H said. "I thank you for trying anyway. "Is there somewhere I can reach you, in case I have any questions later?. I mean it's over for him, but I may need you in the future."
