Giles stared in disbelief at the telephone in front of him not daring
to accept what he had just heard. He removed his glasses and sat for
a moment with his head in his hands before reaching for the phone to
make the call he had dreaded since arriving on these shores.

"Buffy, the Council just had word of a demon returning from hell.
Apparently, some young enfatuated lover left a friendship ring on the
floor of his tomb, and he dropped naked from hell, feral and baying
for blood."
Buffy nodded. "Sounds familiar. What's the address?"
Silence. "Um." More silence.
"Hello, Giles? You still there?"
"I'm still here, Buffy." Giles affirmed.
"So, what's the address?" Buffy repeated.
"Graceland," Giles said. "Elvis has left the inferno."
