The next afternoon
*So here I am.* thought Buffy as she stood in front of Giles' door.
She hadn't forgotten 'her research,' that seemed a good moment like Giles had told her, and… right, at the others too; he should go for the entire day. This fact had increased her curiosity and insecurity, because he hadn't wanted to tell them where and why.
He assured her that it wasn't a 'Hellmouth thing.' *Don't worry Buffy, he’d said. Yay, sure!* she thought, *He is more and more mysterious. I don't like it! Yes, why? After all, he has a right to have a life…without hiding something from me!*
With that, she entered in the flat, *OK, so where am I going to begin?* While she walked, her attention was caught by his desk. There was a pile of documents, but underneath…there was a laptop.
*A laptop!?! How long has Giles had one? Or since when did he know that they exist? And he knows to use it…*
"It gets stranger and stranger…" she said.
She was very perplexed with her new…no strange discovery, *Giles is more enigmatic than I thought.*
"Should I open it? Or…Well, if I want to help him I must open it. Yeah, it's my duty of Slayer to help, protect my Watcher… and, no, it's not by curiosity!" she told herself.
The decision made, she opened it.
When she looked at the screen, what was her surprise when she read the title of one of the file…"What?" she exclaimed. "Giles is a fan of Jonas McWitness, too!" She grinned. "And he said it was a stupid book. With what I read, he's not just a fan but a mega super fan. All the books are…wait a minute. I…I don't know this title. In fact, I never heard of it!"
She opened this file, began to read it and what was her surprise (again) to see that 'this book' wasn't finished.
*Duh! How is that possible?…The only reason for that could be…* Lost in her thoughts, she didn't hear the door open.
