“No… not yet… let’s see what we can find out first. I guess sit tight until you hear from me again.”

“OK… but that will be hard to do.”

“I know… but I can’t think of anything else to do right now. I’ll call if we hear anything.”

“Buffy!” Kennedy spoke quickly before the other Slayer hung up. “We got some info last night… a name… Markus Dresdon. A vamp told us that he keeps the girls with him all the time.”

“OK… I’ll give that to the coven. Talk to you soon… I hope!” Kennedy said goodbye and hung up the phone. She turned and looked at Faith with concern written all over her face. “Willow’s missing.”

“I got that… any ideas where she’s at?” Faith asked just as concerned.

“No… the coven thinks she blocking them from finding her… but Willow wouldn’t do that.” Kennedy jumped out of bed and went to her dresser. Pulling out a phone book, she returned to Faith’s side. “I’m calling the airport. I have a friend there that can look some stuff up for me.” Faith got up and went into the bathroom while Kennedy made her call.

‘This can’t be happening… not now…’ Faith thought as she brushed her teeth and washed her face. She could hear Kennedy talking to someone as she dried herself off and then returned to the bedroom. She was still naked and felt no inclination to cover herself up. Faith felt a pang of guilt about Willow’s disappearance so quickly after her and Kennedy had spent such an incredible night together.

“OK… I’ll be waiting. Thanks for your help.” Kennedy hung up the phone and looked at Faith. “Now we wait.” She got out of bed and went to the bathroom to perform the same tasks that Faith had just completed. Faith got back into bed and propped herself up on the headboard in a sitting position. When Kennedy returned, she went straight to the bed and straddled Faith’s lap. Faith put her hands on Kennedy’s hips and just looked at her.

“I’m sorry we had to wake up this way,” Kennedy said leaning down to kiss Faith.

“It’s not your fault… we couldn’t have known…”

“I know… but that doesn’t keep me from wishing that our first day as a couple would have started out differently.” Kennedy leaned down and placed her forehead on Faith’s shoulder.
