I sighed as walked down the empty halls of school silently I knew Buffy was feeling a little fragile right now so Willow took her to the bronze for a night of dancing whilst I patrolled.

"I'm not afraid to use it. I swear! If I can't be with you..." I frown at the sudden voice as I walk around the corner only to see a boy pointing a gun at his girlfriend.

"Hey!" I shout as he continues to point the gun his hands getting shakier "Oh, my God!" The girl turns and starts walking away as I start running at the boy, hoping to get to him before he shoots.

"DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME, BITCH!" He screams at the girl who looks back at him in shock, I grab his arm, raise it and brings it down over my shoulder making him drop the gun.

I elbow him hard in the gut knocking the breath out of him I get a handful of his shirt and knock him to the floor, bending down I pick the boy up by the collar "What happened?" He asks looking at me and the girl.

"What happened?! You just went O.J. on your girlfriend!" I shout as the boy who looks at me in shock and shakes his head quickly "This is nuts! I... I don't know why I got so mad".

"Because you're a jerk?" I offer with raised eyebrows at the boy as he looks around lost "He's not. We weren't even fighting a few minutes ago" The girl tells me as I look at the boy suspiciously "We weren't, I, I swear to God!".

I sighed and threw my hands up in confusion "If you weren't fighting, then why'd you have a gun?" I ask him as I look around for the gun he had dropped.

The boy looks just as confused as we were "I don't, I don't know. I don't even know where I got it" my eyebrows scrunched together as I continued to look around for the gun "Well...crap" I mutter as the boy and girl huddle together looking terrified.

"So we have a couple who are supposedly in love fighting but not really and a disappearing gun," Buffy asks me as I tell her about what I saw last night.

"It makes no sense" I mutter as we walk through the school entrance when Principal Snyder slams his office door open and looks at the two of us.

"My office now" he calls to us as we look at each other and follow him into his office "I'm sure you know why I asked you here," Snyder says as he passes us and walks to his desk as we sit in the chairs in front of him.

"To thank me?" I guess as Snyder gives me a look "That's right, I wanna thank you. What would Sunnydale High do without you around to incite mayhem, chaos, and disorder?" he sneers making me both frown.

"I don't incite! I stopped that boy from killing his girlfriend, ask him. Ask them both!" I tell him with a serious look, we were always getting into trouble when saving people.

Snyder just smirked at me "People can be coerced, Summers. I'm no stranger to conspiracy. I saw JFK. I'm a truth seeker. I've got a missing gun and two confused kids on my hands. Pieces of the puzzle. And I'm gonna look at all the pieces carefully and rationally, and I'm gonna keep looking until I know exactly how this is all your fault".

I was about to respond when his secretary buzzes him on his office intercom "Mr. Snyder, Billy Crandal chained himself to the snack machine again" Snyder sighed and looked at the intercom in disdain "Pathetic little no-life vegan" he muttered as he stood and walked around his desk.

Buffy and I stood to go also but Snyder stands in front of us "Not so fast, I'm not done with you two yet. You stink of lies" He tells us and points back to the chairs.
