Discliamers in Part Nine a

Willow looked at the dazed nurse as Cordelia wrapped the last of the medical tape around the portly woman?s midsection.  They had already tied her hands together and gagged her.  Though Willow was feeling rather guilty about the gagging part of the plan and, when she thought about it, she wasn?t too pleased with the nearly frightening the evil nurse to death part of the plan, either.

 

The first part of Cordelia?s plan was simple.  Grab the evil nurse Swinson, even though the nurse was probably not all that evil, just caught up in circumstances beyond her control.  And while Willow hated frightening her so badly, there had just been no other way.  The woman?s eyes had gone as round as saucers when Willow had closed the door, then Cordelia and Xander appeared out of nowhere and as soon as they touched the woman, she had fainted dead away.  At first the Scoobies were concerned that they had given the older woman a heart attack but when they checked her pulse and breathing everything was fine.

 

With the first part of Cordelia?s plan completed Xander was working on the second part using Cordelia?s cell phone.  ?Yep, I know it sounds weird Oz but Cordy saw this at some clothing store--" 

 

?Please! The bait and switch is the American way to sell off-brands!  All the major Boutiques do it,? the beauty queen rolled her eyes at her clueless boyfriend.  Willow thought that their interaction was cute. 

 

?--As I was saying Oz,? Xander continued after sticking his tongue out at Cordelia and then turning toward the window.  ?We want you to zoom through the parking lot, stop, then get out of there.  After a few blocks just park the van and get someplace safe.?  Willow watched as Xander kept running his hand through his hair.  It was the only sign that he was nervous.  ?I know, Cordy calls it the bait and switch ? yeah, that?s right.  We make the Council believe that we?ve taken Buffy and run, while we just move her to one of the empty rooms on this wing.?

 

Xander gave the thumbs up so Willow started working on her end of the plan.  Which was trying to figure out how to turn off all the monitors keeping track of Buffy?s condition.  She had seen it in a movie once, the bad guy had turned off the monitors before trying to kill a woman.  Of course Clint Eastwood had rescued the woman  before the bad guy could kill her.  Still, turning off the monitors meant, that when they moved Buffy they wouldn?t blare a warning, until the Scoobys wanted them to.

 

?Oz is a go,? Willow heard Xander say as she concentrated on the equipment.   She thought she had it all figured out, it wasn?t rocket science after all?well, it was rocket science because all the medical monitoring equipment had come out of the space program?but turning it off wasn?t rocket science. The simple switches had . . .

 

?Willow! We don?t have all day,? the beauty queen hissed at her.  Willow looked up at Xander and Cordelia as they stood on the other side of the bed.  Xander stared down at Buffy?s emaciated form with tears pooling in his eyes.

 

?Right, got ya,? she turned off the monitors and then silently held her breath for the few seconds it took to see if it worked.  When the equipment remained silent and an army didn?t break down the door to the room she slowly released it.

 

?Ok,? she nodded to the others.  Willow carefully removed the IV line that was stuck in Buffy?s arm.  There was no telling what the Council was using to keep Buffy unconscious, so they had decided it was better to be safe than sorry.  The other tubes connected to parts of the Slayer?s body were left alone. 

 

When Willow had finished both Cordelia and Xander stepped up to the bed and tenderly lifted the tiny girl into his arms.  When he felt how small she was he couldn?t stop the tears from sliding down his face.  ?We?re here Buffy . . . ? Willow saw him swallow as his words choked off.

 

When Xander picked up the Slayer, the magical energy from his shield reformed to include Buffy.  That meant they had an extra charm and another idea formed in her mind.

 

Willow quickly tied all the bed sheets and blankets together.  Then she took a deep breath and glanced at the others to make sure they were in position, Xander behind the bed next to the wall, Cordelia next to him holding Buffy?s various tubes.   

 

Willow took out the extra charm and took her Wiccan energy out of it.  She left the Council?s magic in the charm, though, hoping that it would work. 

 

Willow waited until she saw Oz?s van turn into the hospital parking lot and then she threw open the window.  She tossed the bed sheet rope out the window along with the extra charm.

 

She barely had time to move away from the window before the Council guards rushed into the tiny room.  The two from the door were closely followed by three others, crowding the Slayerettes and Buffy into a tiny corner.

 

Willow could hear the squeal of tires through the open window. 

 

One of the guards lifted a radio, ?The Slayer has escaped, repeat the Slayer has escaped.? 

 

?We have the van spotted and are giving chase, all squads assemble at location B.?   At the command the Council soldiers dashed out of the small room leaving a confused police officer standing out in the hall staring at the Evil Nurse Swinson tied to the chair.

 

When the police officer came into the room to untie nurse Swinson, the Scoobies were able to slip out.  They went down the hall and into another room.

 

?Well, as rescues go that certainly won't win any medals,?  Cordelia announced following Xander over to the bed.

 

Willow turned back to the door.  She placed her hands on it and quickly chanted ?don?t look here, pass me by? three times hoping the small spell would help.  Or at least give them enough time for Buffy to wake up.

 

?But, at least the Buffster will have a chance,?  Xander said as he gently placed the girl on the bed.
