Ever one was silent, afraid that if any one of them spoke, they'd be the target of the Slayer and vampire's anger. The two of them we yelling so loud and over each other it was hard to understand what they said.
"Should we do something?" Dawn asked quietly.
"True fully I'm just waiting for Buffy to stake him."
Xander answered.
"Xander!" Willow whispered."
"What?"
"Angel!" A voice yelled, the scoobies turned to see a man in a suit that Willow identified as Gunn walk towards his boss, a paper in his hand.
"What?" Buffy and Angel barked.
"Just read it." Gunn told him handing him the paper, taking a step back before they could take his head off.
"Five bodies found...tortured, cause of death blood lose, and railroad spikes. Damn it Spike." Angel cursed, he knew that something was not right with his childe, he shouldn't have let his men go after his childe he should have gone after him, and forced him to come back so they could help him.
Angelus was laughing in his cage glad to have his boy back. Angel could feel Angelus pride, he was rejecting at the massacre his favorite childe created.
"That's not all, they were spotted picked up more victims one matches Spike's description the other belongs to Drusilla." Gunn answered.
"Go find the others and meet me in my office."
"You got it." Gunn then left.
"Willow, think you can do a tracking spell?" Angel asked, praying that the witch could.
"We will n-need something of h-his to d-do the spell." Tara spoke.
"Hold on a second, we are not helping Angel we can find Spike and Drusilla ourselves." Buff stated.
"Maybe, but Angel's resources will help us greatly." Giles reasoned. "Anything else we can help with."
"When we find them it's not going to be just Dru and Spike, there's going to be minions."
"Right, sounds goods." Giles agreed.
"Giles? Are you insane? How do we know he's not Angelus?" Buffy asked, to bad for her the group ignored her question and followed Angel up to his office.
Spike lounged around his lair, enjoying a nice bottle of whiskey; while Dru was feeding her victim was screaming so loud, he threw his whiskey at the wall; the glass shattered spilling its contents while Spike stalked towards the woman Dru was feeding from and snapped her neck, licking the blood from his hands.
"Spikey that wasn't very nice." Dru pouted, getting up from the floor to follow her dark prince.
"Well not in the mood for screamin' pet." Spike snapped, and pressed his hand to his head.
"Spike what's wrong?" Dru asked worried he grabbed his arm but Spike violently ripped it out of her grasp.
"Nothing's wrong!" Spike growled, and stalked away.
"Bad Daddy, he didn't do the spell right." Dru pouted.
Angel, Tara, and Willow stood in an empty room in WolfRam&Hart, the two witches started working on a tracking spell while Angel mindlessly played with one of baby Spike's shirts.
"When we find him...will you be able to give him a soul." Angel asked, his voice hoarse afraid that Willow will not be able to save his childe
"It should be hard, but we won't know till we find him." Willow answered truth fully; she looked up at Angel to see him staring at the shirt a few tears fell from his eyes.
Angel looked up from the shirt to see Willow's hand on his arm. "Don't worry, will find him and make everything right as rain."
"Thanks."
"You know me always helpful."
While the others wear busy locating Spike and Dru, Dawn was forced to wait in Angel's suite where she will be out of trouble and out of danger as Buffy put it. She already went thru Angel's movies and Spike's games and was sitting on the couch with a box of wheat thins watching TV when she heard something fall over.
"Angel?" Dawn called, "Buffy?" She tried again before getting up and followed the noise towards Spike's old room.
Dawn looked around, the room defiantly belongs to a little boy, toys and action figures were all over the room along with children's
books, the room was cleaned and nothing look liked it hadn't been touched in months.
Dawn turned to walk away, only to drop her phone and having it skit under the bed, getting on all fours Dawn reached under the bed, while reaching for her phone only to have something cold and rigged touched the top of her hand, grabbing hold Dawn ripped it from under the bed and bring it up to see.
Dawn clutched her head as imagines flashed threw her had, she saw Spike, a young Spike, and the woman every called Drusilla. The flash stop and Dawn stared at the crystal.
"Angel!" Dawn yelled as soon as she got of the elevator.
"Dawn what's wrong?" Buffy asked her sister only to be ignored in favor of Angel.
"I found this," Dawn stated, "It was under the bed of a kid's room."
"Spike's room?" Angel toke the crystal in his hand, "Wesley!"
The ex-watcher quickly to the crystal in his hands and examined it before head towards the table-which was filled with books-Angel watched as Wes started riffling thru a book till he found a page with their mystery crystal.
"Oh dear."
"What is it?" Dawn and Angel asked.
"It seems I found the cause of Spike's night terrors." Wesley answered.
