(((Back to Doc)))
"Where did you get them, Doc?" Charlotte asked.
"The Watcher's Council," I said quickly.

"It's nothing," I said very forcefully, willing myself to beleive it. Nothing happened nothing is happening nothing will happen.
(((Ooohhh yes, got to finish that.)))

"Very well," Mal said. "I'll do it, but only because I trust that whatever it is won't pose a danger to anyone. Ordinarily, i'd need authorisation, or at least a reason. Just don't tell Doc."

"No no no no no, I won't tell Doc. Ever. No." I went into the bathroom. Looking in the mirror I began to repeat:
"You are straight, I am straight. Completely straight." Maybe if I said it enough it would be true.

((Pepper and Chime look the same don't they?))
I walked up to Pepper and the other Pepper. " So which is which?" I asked. "Which one of you do I kiss?"

"Um, yeah," I said hesitantly. "Back in my bad old days... I'd see an interesting book...other than that, if I saw a weapon I liked, or I thought a dagger was getting inordinately close to a girls back, I'd step in."
"things have changed Doc..." Charlotte began. The look I shot at her could have peeled paint of a wall.
There's a box, right up the back," I said. "In it is a dagger, designed specifically to kil a Slayer. One scratch, she's dead. I relieved a Watcher of it a day after you 'died'. He was after Maya. Still say that doesn't happen?"

I swallowed, feeling suddenly sick. I shook my head,
"That was not on orders of the council. That is one random sicko."
"And how would you know?" He asked testily.
"Because i am the bloody council now!" I snapped back. "I'm one of the very few remaining of the watcher lines. Buffy and the original scoobies are in charge, essentially, and then there's a handful of us leading slayer training houses and groups. That man was not working for the council, i can assure you of that."

"Be that as it may, I think I'll keep that dagger in here, thank you very much," I said. "I trust you, Charlotte. I trust Buffy and her friends. The other Watcher's...they may not have been responsible for Tash's death, but that doesn't mean they weren't capable of it."

"Are you not listening to a word i say?" I snapped angrily. "There are no other watchers! Giles and Wesley are the only watchers who were ever active who have survived! All the others, my father included if i must remind you, were murdered by agents of the first! There are barely a dozen of their descendants around, and they, like me, are loyal to Buffy and the fight for good. They would never harm a slayer. But of course that thing should never be used again- the question I would be asking is why you did not simply destroy it?"

"Because it's a Soul Sabre and can't be destroyed."
All movement ceased.
"What?" Maya whispered.
"It's a Soul Sabre," I repeated. "Within is the soul of one of the old Council's most deadly assassin's. They only broke it out when they realy wanted a Slayer dead. It's usually locked up under more protective spells than this vault. The only way to bring it out is to get high authortiy from the Council. No one could break those seals without their permission. Hence my suspicion."
"How do you know all that?" charlotte demanded. I gave a grin.
"I have my sources," I said.

"The council went Kablooee at the hand of powers much greater than the council itself." I said, "Powers that wanted every slayer and potential dead. They probably took the sword."
"But only the council..." Doc began, shaking his head.
"No. Doc, believe me- the first could easily break the councils defences. the council had resources, yes, but the first was far more powerful."

"Hng," I grunted. "Maybe, but that still doesn't mean I'm trusting any Watcher that isn't either a Scooby or you. Sorry," I walked further into the vault, past the various magic amulets and equipment until I reached a small cupboard at the back. Within was the best piece of protective gear i possessed. It was what, or should I say who, it represented that made me pause.
