The Birthday Party

When Xander got home, he found Jessie waiting for him, her eyes wide with worry.

"What happened?" she asked, her voice full of concern. Xander took a deep breath, and then he told her everything. He told her about his conversation with Fred, and about the changes he had seen in his brother.
