Drabble: Over Committed
Title: Over Committed
Last line challenge: Goodbye.
Author's note: yes, I'm cheating a bit.
"Good buy, Giles!" Anya exclaimed, reading the inbound shipping manifest. "Because our inventory really needed the shot in the arm of 200 crystal skull paperweights."

"It, um, wasn't the regular wholesaler. It was more a sort of, um, special supplier."
"Special blonde or special brunette?"
A second delivery truck pulled up outside, and then an eighteen-wheeler.
"Giles, what have you done?"
