The room fell silent as the door opened and none other than the subjects of their discussion walked in the room. He could feel the tension in the room, she looked totally freaked which, considering she was probably more powerful than the lot of them put together, was strange. She said something to Pierce before making a quick exit. Sure, the encounter last night hadn’t made him think she’d be the friendliest person around but had been expecting some sort of interaction or acknowledgement. Then again thinking more about it she probably didn’t want a gang of sidekicks that needed saving, or maybe she wasn’t looking to start the school year off by hanging around the school weirdos. He didn’t take it personally though he would’ve liked the opportunity to thank her for saving their lives. The high school wasn’t very big and he figured he’d get the chance for a chat later, someone saves your ass the least you can do is offer some thanks. 

His attention quickly turned to Pierce, who finally decided to explain what he’d been up too. The ‘librarian’ claimed to be a part of an ancient secret society who studied the supernatural and that he’d been assisting them in secret for the past year. 

“Some help you’ve been, I mean lurking around a bunch teens, knowing what we were up too while at the same time keeping everything about yourself on the down low. I mean why not just tell us? You clearly knew we were on the same side. You get your jollies playing ‘I know something you don’t know’?” Casey asked first, annoyed that Pierce hadn’t been honest with them. 

“As for the likelihood of our deaths should we continue to fight, I made peace with that about a year ago, it’s way too late for me to go back to living a normal life, knowing these things are out there hurting people. As for ‘that girl,’ the slayer or whatever, I’m sure she’s got more important things to do than worry about my ass, and I’m more than willing to help if I can. I’d rather die doing what’s right than try and live with doing nothing.” Casey said his piece and chugged a bit of coffee. This fight against vampires and the like was too personal to him to ever consider giving it up.
