Good story! I could definitely see Giles reacting that way if Anita and Edward tried to kill Buffy and them. You had a good Giles voice. Giles showing them mercy and letting them live because the others requested it was good, too. I also thought it was great that they had killed the contractor, too.

As a scene, this worked very well. I'd actually like a little flashback exposition on how the existance of demonic possession vampires might be a closely guarded secret to the supernatural community and the world of AB, and that perhaps the AB characters were hired for a specific reason (either to go after Dawn for someone or something earlier in their continuity).

The problem with this isn't so much that it doesn't work, but that the reader is left with a feeling there is vastly more to know about this scenario, both by what has already happened and what could happen in the future.

You need to flesh out the story, in particular the back story. Anita has a clear sense of right and wrong in her own head, and I have difficulty fitting killing children into that. She's never one to follow orders blindly, and she doesn't see monsters or non-humans as being evil, so it is a bit of a stretch for her to try and kill kids, even 'special' kids...
I can see you've done a fair Ripper but you cut yourself short. Wonder if you would not have been happier if the story was longer? Just a thought but if the story is thought of as a beginning then you do have a decent start.....
