"So your name is William?" Glory asked.
"Umm... yes, ma'am." William replied, trying not to look at the woman's rather reviling dress.
"So, William. Will. Willy-boy. Do you know who I am?" she asked, twirling her hair.
"No, I don't. Are you a friend of Miss Buffy?" he asked
Glory smiled. "Yes. Yes, me and Buffy are very good friends. But she `borrowed' my key!"

"We have to find him." Joyce said. "He doesn't know anything about this world."
"Yeah," Anya laughed, "He's afraid of cars."
Everyone gave her a look.
"What? He IS!"
"We still have to find him."

Tara sat on the floor in the magic shop. Spike sat next to
her. As uncomfortable this was for her, it was much better then being vamp food.
"I was just looking for some spells." she explained.
"Oh, really, pet?" Spike asked, "What kind of spells?" he grabbed the book out of her hands and started reading.
"Mind reading?" he laughed.
Tara didn't say anything.
"Did you do the spell already?" Spike asked grabbing her by the shoulders, "Can you read my mind?"
"Uhh..." Tara wasn't sure what to say.
"Tell me, before I rip your throat out." Spike threatened.
"No, I didn't do the spell." Tara said finally, praying that he couldn't tell she was lying.
`She's lying.' Spike thought to himself, `Nah, probably not. ' He let her go.
"Your lucky I'm not really hungry, pet." Spike said, getting up. "Time to find the Slayer." he left the magic shop.
"Oh, god." Tara said, remembering some of the things that Spike had thought, about killing Buffy. "I've got to warn her."

"Where do you think he could be?" Riley asked Buffy.
"I don't know, probably killing somewhere." Buffy replied
"Do you really think that he would kill someone? He has been helping us." Riley insisted
"That was the chip." she said, "And all of the good Spike, if there was such thing, went into William. Spike is now all bad."
"I guess you're right. We should find him, but he's not in his crypt." Riley agreed as they walked out into the cemetery. "Where should we look next."
"I'm not sure, maybe the Bronze." Buffy said, just as the cell phone she had bought a few days ago started ringing.
"Hello?" she answered it.

"Your key?" William asked, "Well, Miss Buffy seems like a very nice, honest person. I'm sure that she will give it back."
"Hmm.... Maybe she will." Glory over walked to William and ran her hand through his hair, "Maybe she just needs a little encouragement."

"What's wrong?" Riley asked Buffy after she got off the phone.
"That was Tara, Spike was in the magic shop." Buffy explained.
"Oh, is she-"
"She's fine. He said he was going to find me. I gotta find him first."
