In the pub, before dusk.

Spike returned from Lilah's in a foul mood. After last night he realized that if he ever wanted to live the life of a normal vampire, he needed to get the chip out of his head. And that wasn't going to happen here.

After getting a strange message from Xander, Spike then called back to let him know exactly how little he cared

Kadaj left Yazoo at home, Loz had gone to the mainland for parts and he went into town to pick up his gloves from the Pub when he left them there the night before.

Letting himself in the back door so he wouldn't disturb Spike, he went behind the bar to get his gloves and decided to get the pub ready early so it wouldn't need to be done later.

Spike walked out from the back room. "Good. You're here."

He reached into his knapsack and tossed a folder full of papers on the bar.

"I'm leaving. The pub? It belongs to you and your brothers," he said as he lit up a cigarette. "On two conditions."

[ac_brothers]

Turning to see Spike, Kadaj looked at the folder like it was full glass shards. He licked his lips and carefully picked up the folder. "Two conditions?"

"Make everyone's lives here a living hell and when it's time to leave, burn the place to the ground," Spike said as he grabbed a bottle from behind the bar and poured himself a drink.

"I'd do it myself, but I'd get a killer headache."

"You're leaving me," said Drusilla. "Going away again, when I'd only just found you." She stared at him then, lost for words and lost to the world.

"You're lost again."

[pubkeeper]

"Actually I'm going to get myself found, love. Get the real me back. Can't do a bloody thing with this chip in my head."

[crazyvampchick]

"You can't mark the spot," said Drusilla. Tears filled her eyes. "Don't know where they are now. They've hidden away, so far that even the beetles can't clack their answer at me. What if the nightingales sing to me and call me away before you find the right letters?"

Spike took Dru in his arms and held her close, speaking to her as if she was a child. "I'll track you down, tie you up and make you feel pain like you've never had before."

Spike tilted his head to the side and gave her a small evil grin.

"And when I come back will burn this place to the ground
