Spike growled. "Get out of my bloody way will you. I don't need help."
"But you are bleeding."
Spike put a hand up to his mouth and barely restrained rolling his eyes, "Gum problem. They... bleed a lot."
Carter didn't look at all convinced. "What were you doing in the lounge anyway?"
Spike started to bare his teeth but stopped when he heard a voice. "What are you doing here in Chicago William?"
Spike looked up at Kerry. She looked as though she was about to stake him. He held up his hands, "Look, look. I'm not going to cause any trouble. And I'm not staying long. Have a Slayer to kill you know." Spike smirked at this for a moment and then shook his head.
Kerry moved Carter out of the way and stood face to face with Spike who swallowed. "Then why are you here, in my town William."
Carter mouthed, 'her town'. Randi shrugged.
Spike held his hands up, "You did me a favor. I happened upon a particular cross in my travels. One I remember you talking... avidly about. So I have now returned your favor. We're even. So don't think that next time we meet I will be so... nice" He raised an eyebrow.
Kerry tilted her head to one side. "So, where did you leave this...cross?"
Spike jerked his head towards the lounge, "Your little place of gathering. Well, I need to get back to California. But I could always pay a visit upstairs. Then all you would have to do is a little... dusting..." Spike raised an eyebrow.
Kerry raised her own eyebrow, "Go home William. We're even, so go home."
Spike inclined his head forward, "With that, I am gone. Come to Sunnydale in a couple of months, I'll give you the grand tour before I turn you." Spike laughed as he strolled out the emergency bay door.
Carter put a hand on Kerry's shoulder. "Are you okay Dr. Weaver?"
Kerry rolled her eyes, "Yes, I'm fine Carter. Don't you have something to do."
"W-who was that...guy?"
"William the Bloody."
Carter looked even more confused, "Who?"
Kerry shook her head, "Look it up." She paced towards the lounge, not quite sure what she would find inside. She wasn't ready for what she found.
