Within a short time, Buffy and her group were led into a chamber by the demon. Symbols different from the cloaking spell had covered the ceiling. On the far side of the fifteen-foot by fifteen-foot chamber was another entryway to another chamber that was fifteen-foot wide by twenty-five-foot long. Several glowing softball-size crystals were randomly scattered to provide light. Willow’s light-spell had abruptly ended, but with the glowing crystals no one had noticed; however, when Willow noticed the symbols at the ceiling at the moment she stepped in, she stopped in her tracks.

Buffy stopped also before questioning, “Will?”

“Kathleen had cast the spell that nullifies all magic in this room,” Willow said as she was looking at the symbols.

“If a spell was cast to nullify magic, wouldn’t that magic-nullifying-spell be nullified?” Cat sincerely asked.

“It doesn’t work that way, Sweetie,” Willow said. “Once the magic-nullifying-spell is cast then that and that alone is the only spell that will work in the room. To end that spell, you must destroy the symbols which in this case means damaging the ceiling.”

“Well, Lowkey is in the same magic-free shape as we are in,” Buffy said.

Everyone’s attention was then drawn towards the entryway to the other chamber when Lowkey said, “I won’t need magic to end your life, Slayer.”

Lowkey was shorter than Buffy by four inches and scrawny. As far as scary looking demons go, Lowkey wouldn’t have shown up as a threat to Buffy if it wasn’t for the fact that he could telepathically control certain people.

After Buffy took a moment to look at Lowkey from head to toe, she said, “So, you’re the big bad that is controlling people like puppets. Before I kill you…”

“Oh, you’re not killing me, Slayer,” Lowkey said before he stepped away from the entryway and walked towards two large bed-sheet-covered objects that were six-foot tall by four-foot wide by four-foot deep.

One of the two objects was setting on another eight-foot circle with symbols that was used for portals. The symbols within that circle were arranged differently though, which made that portal circle distinguishable from the portal circle that Buffy and her group arrived on.

Once Lowkey had moved from the entryway, Buffy and her group walked toward the room that Lowkey was in. When Buffy saw the two sheet-covered objects in the center of the room she questioned, “You’re going to stop me from killing you by doing magic tricks?”

When Buffy stepped in the room, Lowkey quickly ordered, “Don’t step any farther, Slayer. And your friends aren’t welcome in here.”

“And you are going to stop us how?” Buffy asked as she cautiously stepped closer.

The others had stopped walking just after entering the room. Willow saw the circle that one of the sheet-covered objects was on. She then looked up at the ceiling and saw the symbols for the cloaking spell again. The others attentions were either on the two objects or on the decorative rug that was covering the far wall.

“With her,” Lowkey said as he pulled off one of the sheets to reveal a glass sarcophagus with an unconscious woman inside. The woman was in her mid twenties and had greatly resembled Buffy. “Say hello to one of your great… great-grandmothers.” Buffy stopped walking and stared at the woman as Lowkey turned towards the others. “Now if you don’t mind, I want to be alone with Buffy and her grandparents. Otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?” Buffy interrupted with as she shot him a fiery ‘killing with the eyes’ look.

“Now, now, Slayer,” Lowkey said as he picked up a high caliber pistol and held it loosely in his right hand. “I would hold that temper if I was you. This woman is still alive and if I killed her this very moment, it will completely wipe out your existence.”

Buffy inched her way closer to Lowkey while saying, “If I’m not mistaken, the woman who you had captured is Teresa Wesley.”

“Stop right there, Slayer or I’ll kill her now,” Lowkey warned.

Buffy stopped inching forward before asking, “So what was the date when your minions captured her?”

“May 11 or 12 of 1886,” Lowkey answered. “Does it really manner though?”

“It does actually,” Buffy said before inching forward again.

“Stop right there, Slayer,” Lowkey again warned.

“The date matters because Teresa Wesley and her husband Nick had a six-year-old daughter at the time of their disappearance on May 12, 1886,” Buffy said as she continued to inch closer. “Her name was Katie. Teresa’s daughter Katie was also a great-great-grandmother of mine by one generation closer to me.”

“What?” Lowkey quickly questioned in horror.

“The only thing that will happen by you killing that woman is pissing me off even more,” Buffy hissed.

“You’re lying,” Lowkey quickly surmised. “You’re trying to delay me in killing her.” Lowkey went to aim the pistol at the sarcophagus. “But I won’t fall for it.”

Buffy threw her sword with an underhand pitch and before Lowkey could pull the trigger, Buffy’s sword had sliced open his right wrist. The pistol was immediately dropped to the floor. Once the handle of the pistol hit the hard dirt-floor, it had fired a round into the ceiling just above Lowkey’s head and damaging one of the primary symbols of the cloaking spell.

Lowkey shot Buffy a fear-stricken look before he quickly backed up towards the wall with the decorative rug. When he saw Buffy and her group making their move to apprehend him, he turned and ran as fast as he could. Buffy grabbed her sword on a run and got inches away at capturing Lowkey when he dove for the wall at the floor. When he hit the rug, the rug was shoved out of the way and Lowkey disappeared down a descending hole that was barely big enough for him to fit.

When Buffy looked down the hole, she said, “I’ll be damn. He did pull off a magic trick.”

As Willow, Xander, Cat and Amber were stepping up to Buffy, a portal opened up underneath where the ceiling was shot. As everyone turned to look, ten men dressed in regular street clothes came dashing out.

When the lead man saw the group, he demanded to know, “Where is he?”

“I’m sorry and you are?” Buffy asked.

“I’m Major Thisor of King Dragnot’s royal guard.” He then demanded to know again, “Now where is he?”

“If you mean a small demon that can control deviants, I’m afraid he just ducked out,” Buffy said. “Don’t worry though. As soon as we catch up with him again, I’ll make sure to hand over his severed body part to you.”

“You’re here to kill him?” Major Thisor questioned.

Buffy held up her sword while saying, “My friends and I aren’t toting these just for sport.”

“Well, you can’t kill him,” Major Thisor quickly said.

“Let me introduce myself,” she began. “I’m Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I kill demons and this demon that you’re after is as good as dead when I catch up with him again.”

“I don’t care who you are,” Major Thisor slightly hissed. “He belongs to us.”

“If you want him alive then you and your men had better find him before me,” Buffy warned. “Because if I find him first, I’m killing him.”

“You’re just a woman,” one of Major Thisor’s men commented.

“I have never been just a woman,” Buffy told him. “I have been chosen to fight demons… powerful and not so powerful by the Powers That Be since I was fifteen. I’m thirty-two now, so that should tell you how good I am. And I assure you that I’m capable of handling all ten of you without my friends’ help.”

Major Thisor took a deep breath while giving Buffy a bothersome look. Without uttering a syllable, he checked a scanner that he had. He then turned towards his men while saying, “He’s close. Go find him.”

“Yes, sir,” one of them said before the nine men marched away.

Major Thisor gave Buffy a challenging stare. Buffy just stared back with a smug grin on her face as if to say, “Any time you’re feeling lucky.”

Major Thisor held his stare for only a moment before he turned away and followed behind his men.

When Major Thisor disappeared into the next room, Cat asked, “How was it that Lowkey’s presence was detected?”

Willow gestured towards the bullet hole in the ceiling before saying, “He was uncloak for a moment after the gun went off and broke the spell above his head.”

“Well, we need to find Lowkey before they do,” Buffy said.

“I might be able to do a locator spell,” Willow suggested.

“Hopefully these tunnels aren’t that big,” Buffy said. “So Xander, Cat, Amber and I will just look for him the non-magical way.”

“You didn’t include me in that search party,” Willow pointed out.

Buffy stepped up to the second sarcophagus and removed the bed-sheet before saying while staring at the unconscious man, “That’s because I need you to take my grandparents to TEC headquarters. I need you to contact the Witch’s Council and find a way to revive them. Just be back here in one hour.”

“Is one hour enough time to find and kill Lowkey?” Xander asked.

“In one hour, I’m sure Lowkey will be found by either us or by Major Thisor and his men,” Buffy said. “I just hope it’s by us.”

“Buff, I’ll open the portal, but I’ll need your guys’ help to get your… your grandparent into the portal,” Willow said.

“It might be easier to send them back if we take them out of their glass coffins,” Xander suggested.

“Okay, Will, open the portal,” Buffy began. “Cat, help me with my grandma. Xander; Amber, you two get my grandpa out.”

“On it,” Amber said .

Willow gestured towards the circle while saying, “Your great grandmother’s glass coffin is setting on the circle that I need to open the portal with.”

“Cat, let’s move her over there,” Buffy said as she pointed to a spot away from the circle. Cat just nodded. Everyone then went to his or her respective assignment.

After the sarcophagus was off the circle, Willow prepared to cast her spell as Buffy and Cat opened the sarcophagus. Once Buffy’s grandparents were out of sarcophaguses, Buffy held up Teresa as Xander and Amber held up Nick.

Once Willow got the portal open ten minutes later, Willow held up Teresa and went through the portal together.

When Xander and Amber stepped up to the portal, Xander said, “Buff, I don’t like the idea of just pushing your comatose grandpa into the portal. Perhaps I should go back with him so he doesn’t just drop on the other side.”

Buffy nodded in agreement before saying, “Amber, Cat and I will be fine.”

“I’ll see you in an hour,” Xander said before stepping into the portal.

Once the portal closed seconds later, Buffy ordered, “Let’s move.”

Buffy, Amber and Cat each picked up a glowing crystal to use as a flashlight before going off into the dark tunnels.

During the passing minutes, Buffy learned that the tunnels were longer than she expected after walking for a good distance and coming to several intersections, twists, ascending sections or descending sections or combination of the four. They crossed paths with a few of Major Thisor’s men and a few divarian-root demons during their search for Lowkey. After walking for ten minutes, Buffy and her group stepped into a moderately size chamber with rows and rows of magical looking glasses.

“Are these those magical things that Willow was telling us about earlier?” Cat asked.

“They are,” Buffy said. “Give me your ax.”

Buffy and Cat swapped weapons and once Buffy had the ax she began smashing the magical looking glasses.

On the surface a small percentage of people and demons between Illinois and the eastern seacoast of the United States had experienced a momentary dizziness.

In a warehouse in Washington D.C. one of Lowkey’s wizard type demons was performing powerful magic on the Master’s bones when he felt the sensation of being released from Lowkey’s thrall. The demon’s interruption was slight and once the sensation was over, he went back to the spell to resurrect the Master.

After a short time, Buffy had smashed every magical looking glass in the room.

As Buffy, Amber and Cat were looking over the destruction, Amber asked, “Feel better?”

Buffy grinned before saying, “I do actually.” She then gestured towards the second entryway. “Let’s move on.” They then left the chamber.

At the warehouse where the Master was being resurrected, muscle and skin began to grow across the skeleton at a fast pace. In a short time he was whole again and before the demon realized that the Master had awakened, the Master had snapped his neck.

In the tunnels, Buffy, Amber and Cat walked for a few more minutes within a gradual descending right bend of the tunnel. After stepping into another chamber, Buffy saw a small ascending tunnel and surmised that they where in the location Lowkey had escaped to.

The chamber had three exits other than the entryway that they came through. Amber knelt down and held the crystal to the floor while looking for the most recent footsteps. After seeing a fresh set of footprints going off in a certain direction, they followed. They walked for only a short time when they came upon Major Thisor and seven of his men with Lowkey.

When Major Thisor saw Buffy, Amber and Cat walking up, he told them, “As you can see, we found and captured him first. We’re taking him with us.”

“I know Lowkey was created to locate deviants in order to kill them,” Buffy began. “Killing deviants is wrong. Lowkey is the one that needs to die.”

“I know it is,” Major Thisor hissed. Buffy, Cat and Amber were caught slightly off guard by his agreement. “Everything about King Dragnot is wrong, but I would be as good as dead if I don’t obey him. That goes for anyone else who would attempt to stand up against him. Now we’re taking this demon and if you attempt to stop us there will be bloodshed. And that bloodshed won’t stop with us. King Dragnot is crazy enough to declare war with this dimension over this demon.”

“Fine, take him,” Buffy said. “Before you leave you should know that one person with the strength and courage to stand up for what is right can make a difference.”

Major Thisor slightly smirked before saying, “I’m not that person.”

“If you feel that Lowkey should die then why don’t you kill him and then tell King Dragnot that he was killed before you got to him?” Cat questioned.

“King Dragnot surrounds himself with sorcerers and witches for protection and most of those witches can read thoughts,” Major Thisor began. “I would be discovered immediately if I tried to pull off a treacherous act like that. I’m afraid that the thought of killing Lowkey had died when we found him first.”

“Take him, but…” Buffy said as Major Thisor’s final two men were walking up. One of them was carrying the carrier with Tabby in it.

“Hey that’s my cat,” Amber uttered out as she pointed to the carrier while interrupting what Buffy was saying.

“You brought a cat to these tunnels?” the man questioned.

After Amber explained to him why the cat was there, she was given back the cat.

“Now, Major Thisor, what I was about to say when the issue about the cat came up; if Lowkey ever get loose again, we will kill him on sight.” Buffy said.

“He won’t get away again,” Major Thisor assured her. “The witch who had helped him escape had died while being interrogated.”

“How did she die?” Buffy asked.

“Does it matter?” Major Thisor asked.

“I know the witch who helped Lowkey escape,” Buffy began. “Her name is Kathleen Post. She was once a part of a group that I’m associated with before she betrayed us five years ago; however, a few months before that, allies from another dimension had taught her how to magically fake her own death without really dying.”

“I assure you, she did not fake her death,” Major Thisor said.

“Alright, unless Kathleen shows up at some point in the future, I’ll trust that she is,” Buffy said.

“Well, our business here is done,” Major Thisor said. “So we’ll be leaving this dimension.” He then gestured towards the tunnel to his men. “There’s a chamber just down there. We’ll open a portal there.” His men acknowledged him before marching in the direction with Lowkey. Major Thisor faced Buffy again and slightly hesitated to ask, “Do you have a way out of these tunnels.”

“The person who brought us here will return in about thirty minutes to get us out,” Buffy said.

“If you don’t want to wait thirty minutes, I’ll have my portal-conjurer to send you and your friends back to the surface,” Major Thisor said.

“Why would you help us?” Cat quickly asked.

“We might not be allies, but we’re not enemies either,” Major Thisor began. “You three did honor our rights along with giving us a warning about what Kathleen was capable of; therefore, since you respected me and my men, there’s no reason why I can’t return the favor.”

“Alright,” Buffy said. “We’ll take you up on your offer to send us to the surface.”

Major Thisor nodded before saying, “You had two others with you.”

“They took the two in the glass coffins to the surface,” Buffy said. She then gestured towards Amber and Cat. “So we’re all who are down here.”

“Then we should go,” Major Thisor said. When Buffy gestured for him to go first he nodded before walking. Buffy, Amber and Cat followed behind him. “Oh and you three should know that you three will be sent to a house that we were renting for the past few years.”

“Where is it located?” Buffy asked.

When Major Thisor said where it was, Buffy calculated that it was a few miles from the TEC headquarters.

Minutes later, at TEC headquarters, Willow was preparing to reopen the portals to the tunnels on the dock. Xander and Giles were standing off to the side while watching. Willow was in the middle of the incantation when Buffy, Amber and Cat stepped onto the dock. Amber was carrying the carrier with Tabby in it.

Willow’s back was to the dock doors and when Xander and Giles saw them, Giles said, “Willow.” Willow didn’t respond so Giles said a little louder, “Willow!”

Willow looked at Giles while saying, “Giles, please. I need quiet. Now I have to start over.”

Buffy grinned while saying, “Giles, what’s wrong with you.” Willow swung around to look with a stun expression on her face. “You know that when people cast their magic, they need uninterrupted silence.”

Willow continued to look at Buffy and the others with a stunned expression on her face while asking, “How?”

“Major Thisor beat us to Lowkey,” Buffy said. “Since I honored him and his men at capturing Lowkey before us, he opened up a portal for us to return to the surface.”

“So Lowkey is not dead?” Giles questioned.

“No, but I have a feeling that his influence over people in this dimension is over,” Buffy said.

“What if Kathleen decides to team up with him again?” Xander questioned.

“Well, according to Major Thisor, Kathleen is dead,” Buffy said in a skeptical tone.

“You don’t believe that though?” Willow questioned.

“You know as well as I do that six years ago, Kathleen was the first one to jump on the opportunity to learn the spell on how to fake her own death,” Buffy said.

Willow just gave a look as if to say, “True.”

“Anyway, has anyone heard from Kennedy or from Faith?” Buffy asked.

“Oh, great news,” Giles said. “Kennedy, Dean and Sam found Dr. Briers. He was killed and the time machine is secured. Capt. Matuzek had sent a team to retrieve the machine.”

“Great,” Buffy said. “Was Wilson sent where he belongs?”

“He was,” Willow said. “I did it once Xander and I got back.”

“Good,” Buffy said. “Now what about my great-great grandparents?”

“Oh, great news with that too,” Willow began. “Faith, Dean and Sam had gotten the information on which demon that had effected them and they were immediately revived. They’re now in the infirmary being examined by Dr. Boswell.”

“So they’re awake?” Buffy questioned. Willow just nodded. “Were they frightened?”

“More confused than anything,” Willow said.

“And asking a lot of questions,” Xander added.

“Capt. Matuzek and Dawn are with them and trying to bring them up to date,” Giles said.

“I better go and introduce myself,” Buffy said.

“Buff, you should know that since your grandparents’ capture didn’t set off any time-disruption alarms, Capt. Matuzek indicated that he won’t be sending them back into the past,” Xander said.

Buffy just nodded. She then turned and left the dock.

In the infirmary, Teresa and Nick were sitting next to one another on an examining bed. Dawn, while holding Hunter, was standing next to them while talking about the modern world. Capt. Matuzek was standing next to Dawn while helping Dawn out where he could. Dr. Boswell was across the room and was preparing the inoculations for Teresa and Nick.

When Buffy stepped into the infirmary all eyes turned towards her. Capt. Matuzek stepped up to her near the entrance and said, “In about two hours, everyone from your group should be back. You and they are to meet me in the main conference room when they do get here.”

“We’ll be there,” Buffy said.

“Well, I’ll let you and your great-great… possibly two more ‘greats’ grandparents get to know each other,” Capt. Matuzek said. He then left the infirmary.

When Buffy stepped up, Teresa said, “You do favor me.”

Buffy smiled before saying, “I’m sorry that I got you two dragged into what I do.”

“Well, learning about what happened to us does explain a few things,” Teresa said.

“What do you mean?” Buffy asked.

“She was a potential,” Dawn answered for Teresa. “Or ‘is’ depending how you look at it. She had the intense dreams about fighting vampires and demons when she was a teenager.”

“Well, I hope that the knowledge of demons actually being real wasn’t too much of a shock for you… for either of you,” Buffy said.

“Well, I’m still trying to come to terms with it,” Nick said.

“I hope you aren’t too wigged out by it,” Buffy told Nick. Nick looked at her as if she had spoken a foreign language. “Ah, wigged out as in freaked out, frightened, shaken up.”

Nick grinned before saying, “No, I wasn’t too wigged out.”

“Okay, I’m ready to administer the first rounds of the inoculations,” Dr. Boswell said while stepping up with the injection needles. Buffy stepped to the side to give Dr. Boswell some room.

When Hunter saw the needles he started to cry. Dawn said in a slight amused, but soothing tone, “No-no, sweetie. Those shots aren’t for you.” Dawn then stepped back to put a little more distance between Dr. Boswell and Hunter.

Hunter calmed down when he saw that Teresa was the one who got the shot. She rubbed her arms afterwards with a sour expression on her face. She then looked at Hunter and said, “You’re right, Hunter. That hurts.”

Once Nick was inoculated, Buffy questioned, “So what should I call you two?”

“Well, I’m only twenty-five, so calling me grandma or great-great grandma would sound kind of silly from you,” Teresa said.

“Perhaps you should call us Nick and Teresa,” Nick suggested.

“Nick and Teresa it is,” Buffy said.

“Teresa; Nick, you two are actually done for today,” Dr. Boswell said. “You two will need to come back in a few days for another round of shots.”

“How often do we have to come back?” Nick asked.

“You two will be completely done in a couple of weeks,” Dr. Boswell said.

“The shot are to increase immunity to certain diseases,” Buffy told Nick and Teresa.

Teresa grinned and nodded as Dawn said, “Dr. Boswell covered that already.”

“Oh, of course,” Buffy said.

“Anyway, Nick, Teresa, I’m now supposed to take you two to the conference room down the hall and show you documentary films that we discussed that will help ease you into the year 2013,” Dawn said as she stepped closer again.

“Moving pictures with sound; that’s something I have to see to believe,” Nick said as he stood up.

“Are you joining us, Buffy?” Teresa asked.

Buffy glanced at her watch before saying, “I can join you four for a short time before I have to meet with Capt. Matuzek.”

Teresa held out her hands for Hunter while saying, “So can I hold you?” Hunter grinned as he went to Teresa.

As Teresa carried Hunter, Buffy and Dawn led her and Nick to the conference room.

The conference room was set up with a laptop and a laptop projector. The lights were off in the room. Buffy entered first and after three stepped into the room the lights automatically came on.

“I would’ve never imagined in my wildest dreams that lights would come on when someone entered a room,” Nick said as he walked in behind Teresa.

Buffy grinned before saying, “Well, lights coming on automatically is more for commercial and office buildings. Lights in residential buildings are operated with light switches. Those switches are normally located inside the room on the wall near the doorway.” She then gestured towards the light switch for the room “In fact there’s a light switch there that will override the sensors and turned off the lights even though we’re in the room.”

“But let’s leave the lights on though, shall we,” Dawn said. “Anyway, everyone take your seats and I’ll start the show.”

Everyone took a seat. When Teresa sat down, she placed Hunter in her lap. Dawn sat down in front of the laptop.

Documentaries, concise overview and long narrated reenactments, had been created over the years by the TEC team in order to teach rookie Timecops history and after Dawn made a few clicks with the mouse she had brought up one of the concise documentaries closest to the year 1886.

As the documentary began Buffy jokingly said, “I suddenly got the urge for some popcorn.”

“Shshsh,” Dawn quickly hissed.

“Okay, one day of actual employment here and it’s going to your head,” Buffy said.

“Buffy,” Dawn whined.

“Okay, okay,” Buffy said as she slightly held up her hands as if to surrender.

“You two are definitely sisters,” Nick said with a grin. Buffy just gave Nick a grin.

Buffy sat and watch for an hour and fifty minutes. The segment on world events in the 1930’s was being shown when she got up and left.

Buffy found her entire group in a short time and once everyone was together; except for Alexis and the three potentials who were playing a board game in the cafeteria, they piled in the main conference room one after the other.

Once everyone was seated, Capt. Matuzek began, “First off, I would like to congratulation everyone on finding the time-machine quickly. I know the ones who had ventured into the past might not think it was quick, but it was. The threat isn’t completely over though. The logs from that time machine indicate that a handful of travelers, travelers that have not been dealt with, had traveled into the past. There’s no doubt that those travelers are demons and although time disruption warnings haven’t sounded yet, it doesn’t mean that it won’t days, weeks or even years from now.”

“Does that mean that you want us to stick around?” Nichole asked.

“In a matter of speaking,” Capt. Matuzek said. “Buffy; Giles, I’ve been given permission to look towards your organization for potential recruitment for future timecops and that offer starts immediately.”

“Aren’t there requirements to become a timecop?” Cat questioned.

“There are, but I will work with any one of you to meet those requirements… or in some of your cases, perhaps waive certain requirements all together,” Capt. Matuzek said. “Would any of you be interested at becoming a TEC officer?”

When Buffy saw Cat glancing nervously at her, she rolled her eyes before saying, “It’s okay, Cat, if you want to join the TEC. You don’t need my permission. No one here needs my permission.”

“This is something I would like to do,” Cat said. “Capt. Matuzek, I would like to pursue at becoming a timecop.”

Capt. Matuzek nodded before asking, “Anyone else?”

Nichole slightly raised her hand while saying, “Here.”

“So it’s only Cat and Nichole?” Capt. Matuzek questioned.

“Amber; Valerie, what about you two?” Buffy asked.

“I’m more interested at learning witchcraft from Willow,” Valerie said.

“I prefer to stick with what I know,” Amber said. “Slaying demons and perhaps teaching karate.”

“Sam and my gig is also fighting demons,” Dean answered. Sam just slightly nodded in agreement.

“I have responsibilities in L.A.,” Faith said.

Willow, Xander and Kennedy just sat there shaking their heads.

“Okay, well, Cat and Nichole is a start,” Capt. Matuzek said. “As far as the Watcher-slayer organization, I have an added bonus for you. A reward you might say.” Capt. Matuzek took out a check from his papers, walked over and handed it to Giles.

When Giles saw the amount, he slightly choked while saying, “This… this is for a million dollars.”

“Not counting the obvious damages to the time-stream, Dr. Briers could have done significant financial damage that could have led into billions,” Capt. Matuzek began. “So if I had my way about it that check would have been worth five million or more; however, the reward amount wasn’t up to me.”

“This is actually generously more than I expected,” Giles said. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Capt. Matuzek said. “Anyway, Buffy, you and your crew did an amazing job so thank you. And that’s really all I have. Except for Cat and Nichole who I would like to come back at six in the morning, you are all free to leave.”

After everyone stood up, Giles shook Capt. Matuzek’s hand followed by Buffy and then the others.

The end of ‘Buffy… The TimeCop?’ The saga is to be continued. I haven't decided on the title yet.
