I finally turned fully to look at him, one eyebrow raised in utter bewilderment. Of course I recognised the song, it was one of Mr. Giles favourites... when he wasn't pretending that he liked classical. This jsut seemed like a very odd way to introduce ones self... without actually getting round to any introduction...
I just stared, wondering if this guy was evil, and trying to throw me off, or actually just crazy...

Doc just smiled at her, giving her no actual information as to whether that was a clue or just a smokescreen. "Anyway, they call me Doc. Don't know about Shadow Man over there, only just met. Seems a bit shy though. And you?"

"Maya." I replied shortly. It did cross my mind that maybe I shouldn't be supplying two strangers with my real name, but somehow I felt that this 'Doc' guy wasn't a threat... and in turn that annoyed me more, becaused noone should make me lower any part of my guard, no matter how nice they seemed. If I let that happen... it could be suicide.
I said no more.

"Nice to meet you, Maya," Doc said with a charming smile, turning his head slightly. "What about you? You got a name, or should we just call you 'The Shadow'?"

Kyler moved forward. He prepared his voice to sound deeper - the same as it had before.
He remembered something from Martin's 'adventures' that he tended to go on about at times, and decided that for this alias, it would work... and was about to call himself as such - The Night Angel.
The Night Angel? What the hell am I thinking? Kyler nearly shook his head in disbelief of his own stupidity, and decided to instead, remove the mask and reveal his face. Perhaps letting them see the teenager who stood would make them see him as less of a threat. It wasn't the best move ever, but it was all he could think of, short of coming up with some stupid 'Night Angel' alias.
"I'm Kyler." He replied, not to anyone in particular. He did keep his voice that slight bit deeper than it normally would be, so as to not make it seem as he was just an inexperienced youngster.
I'm pretending I have Talent and can use it, well; and now I'm pretending I know the world like the back of my hand... I am really cornering myself here.

"Great." I said, eyebrow still raised and sarcasm thick in my voice. "So, you boys want to tell me what you're doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Same question could be asked of you." Kyler responded, perhaps a little too quickly, but he hoped that it wasn't noticed. What am I meant to be doing here exactly?

"I plan on breaking into the offices below, searching for information on the sister the owners of said offices kidnapped 18 years ago and find out which absolute drop kick gave the order to have her taken and my parent and I killed so I can exact cold and bloody vengance," Doc said idly. Couldn't hurt. I mean, it wasn't as if either of them had a connection to the Council, right?

"Huh." I commented. "Sounds fair." I peered over the edge, not that it really gave me any better view of the windows below me. "Who owns the building?" It struck me that if he needed a hand getting inside, there might be something worth taking off the owners hands... hey, they're clearly not poor, and a girl always needs a bit of income...

Kyler crouched by the edge of the building, closer now to Maya. He didn't say anything since introducing himself, he was more trying to read her face, what was she thinking?
The information Doc mentioned stuck in Kyler's head... not about breaking into the office building, that was irrelavent... he was more curious about Doc's past, and in particular, who it might have been that had taken his sister and attempted to kill him. He figured that they might have succeeded in killing his mother, or else he wouldn't be going about it in the way he was about to.
Kyler thought. This was perhaps a good means to obtain more information, both verbally, and physically, by what Doc and Maya might do next.
"I might be able to help you with getting in and finding that information, if you'd have me along." Kyler finally offered.

"If you're willing," Doc said, nodding at Kyler. "As to the owner, Miss Maya, a little known group of power mongers called Watchers. The claim to help Slayers, but given what I've seen of them, I highly doubt 'helping' has anything to do with it."

Kyler didn't respond this time. He thought, instead.
He had broken into places previously, Martin had taught him how to do well. He was not entirely sure why, but Martin had always emphasised discresion. He had also emphasised the need to remember relevant pieces of information, and find out more about said information as soon as was possible, and so, Kyler held onto the mention of these "Watchers" and prepared to quiz either this Doc character, or Martin, on it later.

I snorted a short laugh,
"Watchers??" I exclaimed, "As in the watchers council? The council was destroyed years ago, the slayers are in charge now... there are only a couple of watchers left!"

"So I've heard," Doc said. "Doesn't mean whoever ordered it isn't still alive. Doesn't mean my sister still isn't out there. And it doesn't mean the new mob's any better. After all, I've still got Council employed bounty hunters on my tail. Doesn't bode to well for them."

I raised my eyebrows once again.
"Huh." I murmured, "I guess not... all I know is that the watchers aren't running the show any more... but that doesnt mean there arent people left who are sticking to orders from before..." i paused, "Sorry about your sister... why do you think they took her?"
