Another week, another kidnapping attempt. Dawn sighed deeply and stirred her drink. You'd think that the monsters would realize that A) there were lots of Slayers around headquarters or at least B) that witches are really good at locating lost things. She didn't hold out much hope for C) damnit, she was capable of taking care of herself!

Dawn scowled and downed half her fruity-girly cocktail.

"Is your name Summer? 'Cause you are hot!"

She was up and on the speaker before he could blink, holding him against the wall with one hand while the other held her all-purpose silver athame slash dirk. He blinked wide brown eyes at her in stupefied surprise.

Dawn wasn't fooled, sometimes the dumbest-seeming villains were the most dangerous. "How did you know my name?" She pressed the blade lightly against his ribs, letting him feel the edge without cutting him or even his shirt. This was great, just freakin' great: another kidnapping attempt? Buffy would set a Slayer detail on her ass faster than you could say 'zero privacy'.

Her captive's mouth went round in surprise, "Your name really is Summer? Whoa man, this is just too much! The Todd thinks this might be fate." He craned his neck a little to see what was poking his side. "A knife? Ooh, kinky..." He winked at her, "The Todd like."

"Oh my god," Dawn stepped back and scowled at his glazed eyes and the little bit of drool showing at the corner of his mouth. She'd seen a similar expression on Xander's face once when she'd treated him to a jumbo-box of Twinkies. Seeing that look directed at her person was surprisingly disturbing. She sheathed her blade before any of the other patrons could see it and stepped back, out of reach of 'the Todd'. "I'm sorry, there's been a misunderstanding - um..." She started to back away, there were plenty of other bars in town where she could have her pity-party in peace. "Bye now!"

Todd looked on, a little mournful at his lost chance with the kinky brunette, before he was distracted by the sight of his reflection against the gloss of the bar...
