"We really need to drag you kicking and screaming into the 21st century, it seems," I muttered, managing to get our current location. "Lessee... we've got a couple of towns around we could go to for shelter, I think we should be able to get to them before daybreak."

"We began our walk, trudging as fast as we could move towards shelter to get there before sun up. "You could run ahead if you wanted," I offered. "I'm a big boy and can take care of myself."

"WE should see it soon," I said. "That's why I said to run ahead. You need to get there more than I do."

"I do." I watched him carefully. "You aren't afraid of me?" It was an observation more than a question.

"I'm more afraid of hte people you work for," I said. "I presume someone told you why, or at least their version of why I'm not a fan of their little boys club?"

"Did they tell you I had to be dug out of a burning building?" I asked casually. "'No witnesses'. Tjhat's the last thing I heard from them. 'No evidence.' The first? 'The Council requires your daughter. Give her up now or we'll take her by force'."

"Thanks," I said. "It... wasn't easy. I've hated them ever since. I figured out the who's the what... and now i make sure they aren't the only ones controlling hte knowledge and artefacts that could save or destroy the world. I try to give the Slayers someone else to rely on, because an organisation like that? I can't trsut too look after their best interests."
