It seemed so unorthodox. He lay there on the table with no IV or heart monitor hooked up to him. Buffy stared at the sleeping Spike as the officer cut into his skull to retrieve the malfunctioning chip. She didn't want to watch, but for some reason she couldn't tear her eyes away.
The operation, if that's what you would call a procedure of a vampire, reminded her of her mother. She had spent a lot of time thinking about her mom and what she would've said about all the things that have gone on in Sunnydale since she returned from heaven. Before she could get another thought in she was smacked out of her daze by a moan coming from the bleach blonde.
It's over already? She thought. What is he going to say when he knows the chip is out?
Buffy slowly made her way over to Spike as he began to regain consciousness.
When she was staring directly over him, he opened his eyes slightly and smiled meekly. "Well that was a pretty bad one." he said referring to the "attacks" he had had with the chip. He then reached up to touch his head and felt the bandage. "What the," he said as he turned his head and saw the small Initiative army that was surrounding the premises.
"There was a problem with your chip Spike. It was malfunctioning. If something wasn't done it would've killed you." Buffy explained softly

"No Spike, I had them remove it."

"Giles, I just want you to know that this is all Xander's fault" Anya said glancing briefly in her ex fiancés direction.
"MY fault? How is it MY fault. You're the one that brought it up that no one has touched Giles. And really shouldn't all your demon days have given you some kind of detector of things that go bump in the night?" Xander exploded
"Yeah you should have your spider sense. The tingly's. Or or like the daredevil where you're blind but you can still 'see' things" Andrew as usual quoting his nerdism from comic books.
"Shut up!" Both Xander and Anya said to him in unison.
"Oh all of you shut your traps. Really it's quite all right. It's good to know you're on your guard." Giles then looks at the group briefly and gets a questioning look on his face. "Where's Buffy?"
