Sunnydale - 5 miles

Alex passed the sign, sighing in relief, it had been a long drive from LA and he for one was ready to get out of this damn car! His leg had a cramp the size of the state itself, and he didn't even know if he would be able to stand when he got there.

Alex drummed his fingers against the steering wheel, with the beat of the song, "She taught me to.. Walk this way! Talk this way!." Alex struggled to reach the notes as he scrunched his face, singing to the song.

As the song ended, Alex pulled into the slightly smaller town. It had been dark for only an hour, but it still made it harder for Alex to navigate. He grabbed the cell phone, on the seat next to him. He dialed the agency to get directions.

"A warehouse? I have to live in a warehouse???" Alex asked into the phone, outrageously.

He threw the phone down disgusted, "A Billion dollar agency, and I get stuck in a warehouse. I bet they would have * never * put Carlos in a warehouse." Alex mumbled, insecurely, under his breath.

He followed the direction and pulled his BMW into a deserted warehouse on the end of a dark alley (he doesn't watch to many movies huh? Lol). He got out of the car and stepped into a huge mud puddle.

He threw up his hands, and disgusted, he began to wipe the slime off of his jeans. He leaped, to avoid more puddle damage.

He looked down the long alley, "Creepy." He began to walk, the distance to get to the entrance of his new 'home' for the time being.

:: Meanwhile. ::

Buffy and Willow walked slowly down the streets of Sunnydale, suddenly they heard a noise, coming from one of the many back alleys of the town. Willow looked at Buffy, who just began to run.

What they saw when they reached the alley in question, was somewhat in question. There dangled a man, who apparently had decided to try and enter the warehouse, by mean of the rickety, metal stairway. Which evidently hadn't worked so well, considering he now sat dangling from the rusted piece of metal.

Buffy chuckled a little as she looked at the redhead in awe, "See no demon-y entity. Just a man who wants to be James Bond."

With that the two began to walk closer, until they got a glimpse at the man, his hair was rugged and dirty blonde, he had a well-chiseled face, Buffy noticed.

"I hate to be a burden, but do you think instead of staring at me like I'm an exhibit. you could maybe help me?" Alex insisted.

Buffy smiled a little more and helped him get un-trapped. As Alex's feet touched the ground he composed himself, and began to dust of his clothes, yet again.

"Thanks." After Alex, was done composing, he had time to look at the girl's. One was a very pretty petite redhead, who sort of had the shy and mysterious thing going for her. The other had a sort of, tough girl and don't-even-think-about-messing-with-me attitude. Alex smirked a little, as his mind went back to Rachel, * they can't seem to get enough. * He thought comically to himself.

There was something familiar about this girl though, he just couldn't quite but his finger on it. Suddenly, his earpiece went crazy. The loud squealing noise, went straight into Alex's eardrum, causing him to hold his ear in pain and dance around in a crazy manner.

Buffy and Willow just stood there, not knowing what to do for the obvious-loony.

Finally, the earpiece went silent and Alex shouted in frustration, "God! Do you know what that's like?!" He seemed to be talking to someone else, but Buffy just shrugged it off.

Alex whacked his ear a few times, than realized that the two girl's had seen him, and suddenly he froze. "Oh. Uh, sorry my ear, it just spazs sometimes." He tapped his ear once more, to finally realize that he could hear the command office now.

He heard the Lt. Who just began to yell at him, "Alex, I'm not sure you know what the word under-cover means. But I'll tell you this much it does * not* mean, prancing around with two chicks the whole time. Now get out of there and start setting up. Command out."

Alex sighed and turned his attention back to the stunning females in front of him.

"Are you ok?" The redhead asked him, obviously concerned for his well being.

"Yeah. Fine. Besides the dangling from stairwells, and ear spasms, I think it's been an alright day." Alex studied the blonde girl more, and suddenly got a sinking feeling in his stomach.

She walked toward him and smiled, "I'm Buffy. This is my friend Willow. Glad, we could be of service. But, I got to tell you, I am loving the James Bond look." She smirked a little.

-Great. I've only been here an hour, and I've already happened to run into the person I am supposed to be 'following' and to top it off have managed to embarrass myself, beyond repair.-

Alex shrugged helplessly, more to himself than to the girl's. "What can I say, I love the danger." He sighed.

Before anyone could say anything else, there came a scream from a few streets down. Buffy quickly looked at the blonde man once more and sighed, "Sorry to cut this short, but that's my call." With that the two girl set off toward the direction.

And Alex curiously set off behind them.
