Unbeknown to SG1 watchful eyes were upon then, from the shadows he moved swiftly and with feline grace. He had been watching them for hours. He had seen them when they arrived yesterday. They were strangers and if he had learnt anything it was to be cautious around strangers at the hell mouth. They were in military uniform; could the Initiative be back? No the forth was not human and the Initiative would never let a demon on their side.

Suddenly Carter's ears pricked up and she heard movement across the way. 'What's that?' she said nudging O'Neill. 'I thought I heard something Sir.' 'Where?' 'Over there.' She said pointing her M16 at the dense tree's and shrubbery that bordered a cemetery on the other side of the road. 'OK whoever the hell you are you might as well show yourself.' O'Neill called. There was movement and a figure stepped out into there presents. O'Neill lowered his gun slightly.

The man was dressed entirely in black and his skin was as white as ivory, his hair was bleached white cause it and his skin to stand out sharply from his attire. His face was defined, his cheeks were hollow but at the same time the cheekbones were raised but Sam noticed even this was not his most striking quality. His eyes, they were like swirling blue pools of energy, Sam felt she could drown in them.

Spike looked at them more closely now, he had heard them talking due to vampire hearing and consequently knew their names. He meant to use that to his advantage, the demon was called Teal'c from what he had gathered.

O'Neill was waiting for the man to speak but he remained silent, power and fear seemed to roll off him even so. 'Mind telling us your name?' 'Spike.' The accent was heavy and distinctly London. The man took a step forward, 'Why have you come here O'Neill?' he said the words without breaking his stare.

Jack immediately raised the M16 again. 'How the hell do you know my name?' Spike laughed, 'First I want to know what you are doing in Sunny Dale.' 'I can't tell you that.' He said lowering the gun again and returning it to it's holster

'Why do you humans alien yourself with a demon?' 'We don't know what you mean.' 'Uh excuse me,' Daniel started, 'demon? What do you mean by that?' Spike frowned, 'Don't play games with me. I know he's not human,' he said forcefully pointing at Teal'c who simply raised an inquisitive eyebrow. 'Alright that's enough, I don't like your attitude and I know nothing about whatever your going on about.' O'Neill Stated.

Spike was getting tired, he knew they were lying to him. Lunging forward he grabbed O'Neill by hi jacket raising him off the ground, 'Oh I think you do mate. What do you want at the Hell mouth?' Carter gazed for a second at the man who held O'Neill. Then the man's eyes changed, they flashed gold for a second then returned. Teal'c moved fast but Spike still noticed. The demon Spike had first go for pointed a disc at spike, which snapped up like cobra, and a blue bolt of energy hit the vampire.

Spike collapsed from the shot dropping Jack at the same time. Spike moved to get up then let out an animalistic scream and stiffened dropping back down. Sam moved swiftly over to where the man had fallen and put a hand on his neck, 'He's dead!' She exclaimed. 'Huh? I thought you need two shots from a Zat?' Jack's voice had an underlying tone of fear. 'You do, he should just be unconscious.' Sam replied.

Just then Spike growled again in pain and pushed himself up, now Sam saw it and fell backwards. Saw a face that was not human. Eyes searing gold, Spike struggled to get to his feet and growled low in his throat. 'Carter!' Jack yelled. Spike felt the pain suddenly ceases, he shook off his game-face. 'Bloody chip!' he cursed getting to his feet and offering a hand out to Sam who still sat on the ground. She took it and once on her feet jerked away. Jack, Teal'c and Daniel moved across to them now. 'Who the hell are you?' Jack O'Neill demanded.
