Raven (Part 4)

The four were outside of the bank, ready to go in when Raven stopped them.

"What's wrong?" Riley asked.

Without saying a word, Raven spun around to see what had been following them. The other three did the same only to see a familiar but unwanted face.

"Spike, what are you doing here?" Buffy asked.

"You know, I was about to ask you the same thing. It isn't like a slayer to rob a bank, now is it?"

"Who is this guy?" Raven asked.

"This is Spike. He's a vampire, but harmless. He can't feed off of humans," Willow answered.

"Wait a second. You are the vampire that escaped," Riley said to Spike.

"Congratulations marine boy. What are you going to do now? Take me in?"

"No, not today. I don't feel like dealing with it."

"By the way, who is the new member to the scooby gang?" Spike asked.

"Don't worry," Buffy said to Spike. "Why don't you just go?"

Spike then looked puzzled at Raven. "Don't I know you mate? You seem awfully familiar."

"Don't think so. I kill all the vampires I meet."

Spike laughed. "Is that so? Well how about when I get this chip out you and me have ourselves a little tussle?"

"How about I do it right now?" Raven said as he took a stake out of his inside coat pocket.

"Just leave him alone," Buffy said. "He can't do any damage."

"Alright then. Nice meeting you, whoever you are," Spike said as he was leaving. "Oh yeah, don't be surprised if the cops get a call about four people breaking into a bank."

With Spike gone, the four continued with their plans. Willow and Riley had one around the back to cut the power while Raven and Buffy waited for their signal. When Buffy heard the whistle, she knew it was time to go in. The two had successfully one through the front without any detection and had made their way to the back.

"So, how do we know which one was the mayor's?" Buffy asked.

"I already checked on that. It's number 231," Raven replied.

"How did you know that? Wait, let me guess, you have sources."

Without saying a word, Raven went to the box and picked the lock. He opened it and found what they were looking for.

"Well, that was easy," Buffy said.

The two left the bank and waited for Riley and Willow a block away. After ten minutes had passed, Buffy started to get worried.

"What is taking them so long? They should have been here by now."

Without notice the two heard a noise behind them. They turned around and saw a very beaten Riley. Buffy ran over and hugged him.

"Oh my God Riley, what happened?"

"Three demons ambushed us. They took Willow," Riley said trying to ignore the pain.

"Willow," Buffy said softly. 'Not Willow."

"Damn it! They knew what we were doing. They just wanted us to steal it for them," Raven said.

"What now?" Riley asked.

"I believe that the Linitos want to a trade. The relic for Willow," Raven stated.

"Alright, let's go," Riley said trying to move.

"Not you," Buffy said. "First we are taking you to Giles's, then Raven and I will get Willow back."
