Summary: Kennedy and Willow discover new problems
Kennedy led Willow out the door with her hand.
"We have got to find Buffy and warn her." Willow was glancing around as Kennedy forged on.
"Yeah, I don't want to do 3 on 2 unless it's in our favor." Kennedy scanned the route ahead through the tunnels. There were intermitent small discs of light on the floor made by the unevenly spaced lights. Kennedy quickened the pace to avoid another surprise encounter. The two came back to the storage room that they had split up with Buffy and Spike. The lockers remained partially opened and the table with chairs were still in the original positions.
"Well we're back where we know at least." Willow was breathing a bit harder than usual. The red head started to make for the door that Buffy and Spike went through but stopped when Kennedy stood her ground. "Are you not coming?" Willow motioned to the open door. Kennedy cocked her head to one side and looked at the far door, the one that was only open a crack.
"Something is going on behind that door..." Kennedy trailed off as she started to walk slowly towards it. Willow moved to catch up with her. She grabbed her lovers arm.
"Hey, chickie, what about meeting up with Buffy and Spike?" Kennedy took Willows hand off her arm and pulled it towards the far door. "But don't you..."
"Shhh..." Kennedy silenced Willow with a finger to her lips. The two moved right up at the door, both listening through the cracked opening. The noise was not coming from the next room but from some where off in the distance. Off in the distance they could hear some familiar growling and noises of a fight. Kennedy flung open the door and took off at a jog down the hallway. Willow followed close behind.
They came out upon a mezzanine area above a large storage room. Boxes were placed everywhere. Kennedy could hear some blows being landed and more growling going on down below them but could not find a way down throught the clutter. Willow shifted a small box out of the way to see if Buffy and Spike were in dire need of support. Who she saw were not the people she knew.
"Kennedy!" Willow spoke in a hushed shout. Kennedy stopped her search and responded to Willows come hither motions. Both women looked down below, Kenned narrowed her eyes when she recognised what she saw.
"I know that guy." Willow did a double take.
