"I've got your back Faith. And I know what you mean, I love the feeling of power that being a slayer has given me. I'm ready for anything" says Vi as she follows Faith down the aisle.
 
Amanda let's dawn finish her business before willow peeks in.
"I'd say this bathroom is for emergencies only. It gives me the creeps. I didn't even want dawn to come in here but good luck telling her anything." Amanda says,body posed and ready to fight.
 
"Oh hey willow, maybe you can make sense of is?"
Amanda gives willow the wallet she'd found.
 
Mod: Inside the store
The overhead lights are dull and unlit, the aisles seem spotless but underneath the slightly musty smell in the air is a sharp metallic tang of spilled blood. At the end of the aisle, past a display of sunglasses, the floor is splattered and sweared with blood. A few feet to your right, splayed out in front of a broken cooler and surrounded by cans of soda, is a man lying on his front, head turned away.
At the far end of the back of the store is a service door for staff use, also smeared with blood in the form of a hand-print. The door is closed.
 
Willow
Willow takes the offered wallet from Amanda.
"Oh hey, free money! Heh, I'm kidding...but also there's other stuff." Willow flicks through it absently. "I think whoever this lady is she's in danger. Also we might be, but y'know, not as much danger."
Willow gestures to Amanda, "We should hook up with the others, Giles is getting all squirrel-y and its not just because of the heat."
 
Dawn
Dawn nods her head at Willow & Amanda keeping close to Willow as they leave the bathroom looking a bit nervous.

Tara
Tara runs up " The store is empty except for blood and Faith & Vi are going to check it out " she said before heading back to Faith but in going through
the wall gets a little lost & finds splayed out in front of a broken cooler and surrounded by cans of soda, a man lying on his front, head turned away.
Looks around for Faith & Vi not leaving him .
 
Willow
Willow tries not to be startled at Tara's rapid appearing/reappearing through the front of the store. She blinks and looks side-on at Giles.

"Was I as unnerving as that when I was a ghost?" She resists smiling at the old memory, still realising that something is really off about this place, "We should go and catch up with Faith. I might have enough juice to light things up if its really spooky in there."

Willow opens the door and steps in after Giles.
 
Dawn
"Is that how it was for you when you were a ghost ? " Dawn said standing close to Willow as they head into the gas station .
 
Giles

"Perhaps it's best if we practice a little caution here. We have no idea exactly what we could find in here, but it does not appear to be good."

Amanda

she remains quiet, keeping close behind willow and Dawn. "something doesn't smell right in here."
 
Tara
Tara looks around for Faith keeping a eye on the body.

Dawn
Dawn looks over at Amanda before getting close to her
"What do you smell " she said in a very soft voice.
 
Faith
Eyes casting about for signs of movement Faith makes her way slowly down the back of the store. The tall freezers are dark and silent, the air dry and musty. She approaches the body, nodding slightly at Tara as she squats down to examine the corpse.
'Vamp attack by the looks of it...more than one bite, three or four.' She looks towards the service door, sees the blood, "The party moved that way.'
 
Willow nods absently at Dawn's question.
"A lil' bit...only my uh, outfit was more colourful."

Then Willow moves slowly and quietly to the side, towards the front counter, maybe there are security monitors for the rest of the store there?
 
Tara
Tara looks scared for a few seconds " You want me to look inside ? " she said looking at Faith softy.

Dawn
Dawn giggles softy " I heard it was more than that " she whispers softy looking between Willow & Amanda.
 
Amanda
"uh, you never really forget the smell of death."

Giles
"Faith, it's possible that Tara has the right idea about this, seeing as she's well, not corporeal. She could check if they're still in the backroom or not. If they are, it would give you, Vi and Amanda enough heads up to take them by surprise?" Giles moves his way up to where Faith is, trying to develop a strategy with the more experienced slayer.
 
Come on Faith. We've got a blood trail to follows. Vi starts towards the service door.
 
Faith
Faith locks eyes with Tara.
- 'You go and poke your head through the door and see what's what. We'll be right behind you. If its just vamps you should be okay.'
Faith steps back intot he centre aisle and grabs a large novelty pencil from the shelves, one with a cartoon dog on the end.

- 'You holler if you see anything and then its toast.' She smiles grimly and then nods to Giles in agreement.
 
Tara
"Let me go first Vi " Tara said getting in front of her .
Then nod at Faith with a smile & heads for the door .

Dawn
"Really ? " she said looking sick.
 
Amanda
"yeah, I don't think you can ever get used to that smell." Amanda looks at Dawn with a little worry.

Giles
nodds back at faith and moves back towards willow and Dawn. Giles trusts that Faith can handle the situation.
 
Dawn
"Sorry Amanda . I wont get sick " she said trying to smile while looking around before looking at Giles.
 
Mod Post
You all see Tara disappear beyonf the service door. Outside the wind picks up enough to rattle the metal grating that covers the inside of the front of the store, reminding you of how enclosed you are.
 
Tara
Tara comes out " There a dead .....guy in there with blood everywhere " she says looking around at everyone.
"Also it splits in two " she said moving her arms in both directions.
