*checks his watch for the fifth time, sitting on thebench out front of the Rocket Cafe, on the UC Sunnydale campus*

Ok, Finn. At ease. She said she'd be here.

*looks up, sees Buffy coming, and smiles, standing*

Hey. Thanks for coming.

We need to talk.

I'll be waiting at Adam's old cave lair. I'll bring a bottle of wine and a white flag.

This isn't a trick, Spike, and I'm willing to stand for a beating or a frisking to prove it beforehand. I don't like you. You don't like me. Fine and dandy. But we need each other's help to find and beat this thing in Giles.

--Riley

No sign of whatever that was wearing Giles like a raincoat the other night, but I did manage to put down a nest on the southwest side of town. 6-to-1 odds. I like that ( Read more... )

Ok.

This is ridiculous.

I just got my head handed to me by Giles?

That's not good. That's so very not good.

I'm calling in for help. I don't care how pissed at me Buffy might be for trying to kill SpikeIf Giles has gone bad...and I'm betting he has, that he didn't just get up on the wrong side of the library...we're all in a lot of trouble. ( Read more... )

Xander is in the hospital?

According to my sources at Sunnydale General, yeah. I should get over there. Sit down with him, see what put him there, and see if I can't square up on his behalf.

I should smuggle him in something to eat while I'm at it. As I recall, Buffy said Joyce didn't much care for the food. I'll swing by a Sonic on my way in ( Read more... )

Some homeless guy was cut to ribbons. I should go and poke around. See what Sunnydale's Finest have on it. Maybe I can find something that'll get me out from behind this desk, and back in the thick of things.

I suppose I could always go by Buffy's place...but that would make sense. Can't have that.

Whatever that spell of Robin's was supposed to do exactly, it didn't work.

Spike is still alive.

Y'know, I really should've installed a peephole camera in his lair when I was in there. Wouldn't be a bad idea to keep a closer eye on him...

I'm not entirely sure I know what to think of Robin Wood yet. I'd like to think I'm a smart man...college educated. You don't hang around Maggie Walsh as long as I did without picking up a thing or two by osmosis at LEAST.

I know obsession when I see it.

It's obvious to me that Spike did killed someone close to him ( Read more... )

So busted.

And to think, I used to be good at covert ops.

I swung by Buffy's house. Not to see Buffy, because, no, that would be straightforward and make sense...

I went by before Buffy or the others would've come home.

My target was Dawn.

Not like thatJust...catching up ( Read more... )

What do you MEAN the depot "lost" two Humvees and a jeep? How do you LOSE a Humvee, let alone two of them?

Times like these, I want to swing by Spike's crypt, and rattle his cage a little...see if he knows anything about it ( Read more... )
