The Devil's Enemies 

Hank Summers sat at his desk and tried to work. It had been only a 
few hours since Buffy and her friends had stopped by for a visit. The 
confrontation had not been fun.

Hank had long ago accepted that his relationship with Joyce was over. 
He was the one who walked out on the marriage. He just never expected 
her to remarry. A part of him knew he was a fool for believing that 
but another part wanted to be the only love in her life. 

Hank himself had had girlfriends, quite a few of them actually, but 
none of them had worked out. They were either too clingy or too 
independent. Hank had long ago decided the single life was for him.

Now Joyce was getting married to that English guy. Hank didn't like 
him. It wasn't jealousy, it was pure hate.

*** How dare she say he is a better father then me. What does he know 
about raising a child? ***

The other people in the room had remained more or less quite. They 
all looked to be about Buffy's age. There were three girls and a boy.

*** The boy is probably her new boyfriend. ***

The four teens were a mystery to Hank. They looked normal, as in not 
criminals. But they also looked dangerous. The entire group, 
including Joyce, had an air of danger to them. When the English guy 
had approached him, Hank had felt fear. He had looked into the man's 
eyes and seen danger.

*** I'll make them all pay. ***

Hank read through the file on his desk. It was the who's who of 
Buffy's friends. Starting with Buffy herself.

*** So she burnt down another school. ***

Hank wasn't surprised. He was however, surprised that she was 
arrested for murder, not once but twice. Well the second time she 
wasn't exactly arrested. She simply disappeared until the charges 
were dropped.

Then Hank read about the English guy, his name was Rupert Giles. 

*** He even has an alias. Just great. Ripper, what kind of alias is 
Ripper? ***

Ripper was a native of England, and of all things a librarian. He 
however had a string of arrests in England and was also suspected of 
burning down a school. Then Hank read about the death of his so-
called girlfriend. 

*** He killed his girlfriend. My god. ***

Ripper was never arrested for the murder, although he was a suspect 
for a long time. Then the case was closed due to lack of evidence. 
No charges were ever brought against Rupert "Ripper" Giles.

Hank turned the page and saw the picture of the boy he thought was 
Buffy's latest love. His name was Alexander "Xander" Harris. 

*** My God. ***

Hank read that the seemingly normal boy suspected of stealing a 
bazooka right out of an army installation. No charges were ever 
brought against him.

*** Hell the base did everything they could do berry what happened. **
*

Hank wondered how Wolfram and Hart got the info. He continued to read 
Xander's file. He was also suspected of the school burning as well as 
the occasional misdimeenor or two. No charges were ever brought 
against him.

Then he turned the page and saw a picture of a redheaded girl. The 
file said her name was Willow Rosenburg. The file also said she was 
a hacker, and a very good one at that. 

*** And yet another suspect of the school arson. What did they have a 
wienie roast? ***

Willow was a suspect in quite a few computer crimes. None of which 
were ever proven or for that matter, ever investigated. 

Hank turned the page, thinking that he would read about the last two 
girls. However there was no mention of them at all. It was like they 
didn't exist. This scared Hank. Everyone had a file; you just 
needed to know where to look.

Hank was about to call it a day when Lee walked into his office. Like 
always he was all smiles.

"Hank, I've got some good news. "

"What do you mean, bail was denied?" Angel asked Giles.

" Doyle, Kate and Cordelia are being tried for corruption." Giles 
said simply

" So what you're saying is that the system is making an example of 
them." Buffy said angrily, "Figures. The good guys go to jail and 
the bad guys laugh maliciously."

Angel and Giles looked sadly at Buffy. Angel had been told that 
Buffy's father was working for Wolfram and Hart. He felt bad for 
Buffy, and angry for Cordelia, Kate, and Doyle. Angle paced around his 
office. It was still daylight so he couldn't do what he wanted to do, 
beat the living crap out of something. Instead he just paced.

"Angel, we'll get them out." Willow said helpfully.

"How?" 

None of them said anything for a moment. Then everyone noticed that 
Xander had a weird expression on his face.

"I've got an idea guys, and I know you're not gonna like it."

"Great." Giles said under his breath.

"What's your idea Xander?" Willow asked.

Xander smiled, "How do you all feel about a jailbreak?"
