Chapter Two

Angelus stormed into the warehouse a snarl on his lips and curse on his breath.

"What's got your knickers in a twist?", Spike asked with a slight smirk. The smirk of humor quickly turned into a smirk of anger as Angelus tipped his chair.

"I'm going to kill that punk. I'm going to rip his heart out and feed it to him."

"Who daddy?", Drusilla asked, completely ignoring her lover as he tried to pull himself from the floor and into his chair.

"That kid Harris. I'm going to make his life hell."

"The slayers' lackey?", Spike asked as he finally pulled himself into his wheelchair., "What's the whelp done?"

"None of you business Spike.", Angelus growled out, Spike moved out of his grandsire's reach as he decided to stay out of the conversation.

"Will you give him to me daddy?", Drusilla asked with a large smile., "I could have so much fun with my kitten."

"Sure Dru, but first, it's time to take this mind game up a notch."

BREAK

Buffy watched Xander carefully as her mother signed her out.

"So what happened Xand?"

"I told ya Buff. I fell down the stairs.", Xander said with a false embarrassed smile., "Not my most heroic story of course, but I thought you'd want the truth."

"I just don't" Buffy started before stopping herself., "Thank you. For staying."

"Master vampires couldn't pull me away.", Xander said with a slight smile. Buffy smiled in answer before turning to her mother.

"You two ready?", Joyce asked with a caring tone.

"Yeah, let's get out of her mom.", Buffy said with a smile.

"Thanks for the ride Joyce.", Xander said with a smile as the three began to walk down the hallway.

"Not a problem Xander."

"Xander.", A voice yelled from behind them. The trio turned to see one of the hospital security guards running toward them.

"Go ahead ladies", Xander said with a smile. "I'll catch up."

"We'll be in the car.", Joyce said with a smile as she took her daughters arm and the two walked through the exit.

"Chuck", Xander said with a smile., "What's up?"

"I just wanted to say thanks.", Chuck said with a slight smirk., "I don't know why you want to keep what happened last night a secret. But, my lips are sealed."

"Thanks Chuck.", Xander said as he took a piece of paper and pen off the check out station counter., "This is my number, if anything like last night happens again. Give me a call."

"I will. Stop by sometime kid. We could always use someone like you around here."

"Later Chucky.", Xander said as he walked through the exit into the fresh air of Sunnydale.

BREAK

Xander smiled slightly as he sat the glass of orange juice beside Buffy's bed.

"You okay?"

"I look better than you.", Buffy said with a slight smile.

"Okay, you can stop beating on my ego now.", Xander said with a slight smile as he stood., "I have to go, if you need anything give me a shout."

"Xander?", Buffy asked causing Xander to turn from the doorway., "Did you really fall down the stairs?"

"Head first.", Xander answered with a smirk., "At least, it started out that way. I'm pretty sure my feet were first half the time."

Buffy laughed to herself slightly as Xander left the room. Then frowned in thought.

BREAK

Spike wheeled himself beside his Dru down one of the many dark hallways of the warehouse.

"Daddy shouldn't go after kitten.", Dru said to herself., "Kitten has claws he does."

"What are you babbling about?", Spike asked with a sigh, anger at Angelus in his voice.

"Daddy tries to hurt Kitten. Kitten is going to hurt daddy."

"The whelp?"

"Daddy's going to have to be careful.", Dru said as she lowered her head. Spike came to a stop in the middle of the hallway. Thought's flying through his head quickly.

BREAK

Xander sighed as he walked into the garage behind his parents house. He winced slightly as he pulled on his shoulder.

"I hate that vampire.", He muttered to himself as he walked over to his wood working bench. With only one arm he wouldn't get any work done but he could still relax by drawing up a few plans. Since halloween the young mans imagination had been opened. Thoughts and ideas always seemed to bounce around in his mind. So he had decided to put some of the ideas into practice. He cleaned off his fathers old drafting table quickly and took a sharpened pencil from a holder on the corner of the desk surface.

"Let's see, what would give old Angelus a headache."

The young man smiled slightly to himself before the pencil touched the paper and his mind wandered. A few minutes later his head shot up, a slight sound from outside the garage caught his attention. He stood slowly, acting like he was stretching. As he heard the slight click of the door latch he spun, a pistol crossbow in his right hand. The blond head that peeked inside was a slight shock to the young man.

"Angelus send you to try and finish me off?", Xander asked as the vampire stepped into the garage and closed the door. Spike stood in front of the door, his body relaxed.

"Fraid not whelp.", Spike said with a shrug and a slight smile., "I came to ask for your help."

"My help?", Xander asked as his finger tensed on the trigger., "I highly doubt that overbite."

"Ya know, being out here at night isn't the brightest idea kid."

"I can handle whatever comes.", Xander answered with a shrug. Spike took the time to survey the area. Noticing the weapons and traps laid out.

"I almost believe that."

"Why would you want my help?"

"For one, you survived a one on one with Angelus."

"Toss it down to luck," Xander said as he held the crossbow level with the vampires chest.

"I want him out of the way.", Spike answered with a shrug.

"You want to be the big bad of Sunnydale again, Billy. I don't think I'll like that."

"I want nothing to do with the cursed town.", Spike spat as he walked to a chair close to the door., "To many bad memories in this place to suit me."

"So we dust your grand daddy then you and the crazy leave SunnyD?"

"That's the plan.", Spike answered with a cheerful smile.

"I don't believe you."

"I'm a simple vamp Droopy," Spike started with a smile. "Give me my girl, a good dose of blood and violence and I'm happy. Angelus is bloody nuts. He doesn't want power, or mayhem, he wants destruction. Me, I have the idea that destruction kinda takes away the good of my unlife."

"Color me impressed, you're not a complete moron.", Xander said with a sarcastic tone. Spike smiled as if the statement was a compliment then pulled a pack of smokes and a lighter from his duster.

"So, say I agree to this little truce. What's the plan?"

"I'm not much in the planning thing Droops. I'm more of the bash heads when they need bashing kinda guy."

"Teach me to fight."

"Not a problem whelp.", Spike answered as he lit the cig., "I really wish my lungs worked."

"Get out Spike. Come back tomorrow.", Xander said with a sigh., "We'll talk more then."

"Sounds good droops." Spike said as he stood and moved toward the door.

"One question Spike."

"Shoot.", Spike said, then winced when he noticed the crossbow was still aiming at his heart.

"Why do you vamps wear so much damn hairgel?"

"Well, we can't exactly style in the mirror ya know. But mostly, it makes me look good."

"Get out Billy, before I need to get my Dirt Devil."

"Going.", Spike said with a slight smile as he opened the door and left the building. Xander sighed as he moved forward and locked the door. Spike's visit had pretty much told Xander that Angelus was going to step up his little game.

"Time to play.", He muttered to himself as he moved back to his desk.
