"So much for delete file." Buffy said, still reeling from Moloch's face.

"This is very bad."

"Are we overreacting? He's in a computer! What can he do?"

"You mean besides convince a perfectly nice kid to try and kill me? I don't know. How about mess up all the medical equipment in the world?"

"Randomize traffic signals."

"Access launch codes for our nuclear missiles."

"Destroy the world's economy."

"I think I pretty much capped it with that nuclear missile thing."

"Right, yours was best."

"Well, thank you both for the anxiety I'm feeling right now."

"Okay, he's a threat, I'm on board with that now. But what can we do about it?"

"I think the first thing we do is find Willow. She's probably talking to him right now. God, that creeps me out!"

"What does he want with Willow?"

"Let's never find out. Okay, I'm going to check the computer lab, and you guys call her home."

"No answer." Xander told us, causing Giles to mutter a quiet "damn it!"

"Well, it wasn't busy either, so she not on-line." Buffy walked in with a solemn look on her face. "She's not home."

"What did you find?"

"Willow isn't..."

"Dave. He's dead."

"How?"

"Well, it looks like suicide."

"With a little help from my friends?"

"I'd guess Fritz, or the other zomboids from CRD."

"That Fritz was always a freak. He was one dissected frog away from a serial killer."

"Ok, you and I are going to go to Willow's house. Giles, you need to come up with a way to get Moloch out of the Net."

"I... I have records of the ceremonies, but that's for a creature of the flesh. This could be something completely different."

"Then get Ms. Calendar. Maybe she can help you."

"Well, even if she could, how am I going to convince her that there's a demon on the Internet?"

"Okay, fine. Then you can stay here and come up with a better plan. Come on."

We arrived at Willow's house only to see the door open.

"Willow?!"

"This isn't good."

"Willow?!" We ran to her room but found it empty.

"Okay, any thoughts?"

"'Crap' mostly. Buffy?" She looked around the room before her eyes landed on the computer.

"'No more waiting. I need you to see me'? See him how? Where?"

"What about CRD?"

"The research place?"

"I'm guessing that's Moloch central."

"I'm guessing that's our best lead. Let's just hope Giles can back us up."

We'd made it to the CRD. Buffy was on the phone to Giles, telling him to hurry with the ritual. Time to kick some computer demon arse and get our Willow back.
