“Hello?”

“Giles… it’s Kennedy. I need to talk to Jessica.”

“Kennedy! I was just going to call you! We’ve received information on that name you gave Buffy.”

“That’s good… now I need to talk to Jess. Is she around?” Kennedy didn’t want to be distracted for her train of thought. She heard Giles speaking to someone in the background asking them to retrieve Jessica. Both Slayers were now sitting up and Faith was listening as best she could to the conversation.

“Now, about Mr. Dresdon.”

“What about him?”

“He was on the passenger list for Willow’s plane.”

“He was?”

“Yes. And apparently Mr. Dresdon is a warlock that has been flying under the coven’s radar… until now that is. They’ve uncovered some very interesting things about him.”

“Such as…?”

“He owns properties in New York, London, Hong Kong, and Paris. He’s been hiring vampires and drawing some kind of fluid from their brains. We’re not sure why or what the fluid is yet, but we’ll find out soon enough.”

“Hmmm… he has places in all of the towns we went to in order to find Slayers. The only difference is Paris,” Faith observed out loud.

“So since he was on Willow’s plane… do we think he took her somehow? Teleported her right off the plane?” Kennedy asked incredulous.

“That’s the thought right now. Ah… here’s Jessica.” They heard a little shuffling and then Jessica’s voice on the other end.

“Hello?”

“Hey Jess… it’s Kennedy and Faith. You know how you had that dream about us?”

“Yeah…” Her response was slow and drawn out.

“We need to ask… have you had any dreams just about Willow lately?” The two slayers sat anxiously awaiting her answer; their heads pressed together with the handset between them.

“No… not since that one.”

“Are you sure?” Faith asked. “Have you had any dreams that have been… unusual or out of the ordinary?”

“No… I don’t think so.”

“Come on Jess. Think hard… think about all the dreams you’ve had in the past couple of weeks.” There was silence as Jessica wracked her brain trying to remember what she had dreamt.

“Well… there was one that didn’t make much sense to me.”

“What was it?” Faith and Kennedy asked at the same time.
