Feedback: I love feedback, I try to write feedback for other fanfic authors when I read their stories so please take the time to comment on mine.
Disclaimer: There is no way that anyone reading this will ever think I actually own any of these characters or concepts. If I did I wouldn't be writing fanfics in the first place would I? But just in case... I'm sorry to say that I don't own Spike or Angel.
Authors notes: Sorry it took me awhile to write more but I've been busy with uni stuff. Also sorry its shorter than the other parts but I'll try and update sooner.
Angel stood on the street outside Spike's apartment building. He was half hidden in the shadows and had been standing there since Spike had arrived home earlier that evening with a girl. Ever since Spike had arrived in L.A. Angel had been keeping an eye on him. Many years ago he had heard from the gang in Sunnydale that Spike could no longer harm people and had promised not to stake the harmless vampire. But Spike was in HIS town now and Angel was just looking for an excuse to beat the crap out of him.
A car pulled up outside the building and a young man carrying a flat box jumped out and headed inside. *Ah ha!* Angel thought, *Spike's must be up to something*. Then he marched off round the corner his coat flapping dramatically behind him. *It's time for payback* he thought referring to the torturing incident that had happened many years ago. *I can't wait to see his face when I break down his door armed with weapons and followed by my crew.* Angel didn't think he'd have any trouble convincing them to return with him to the apartment.
Meanwhile Sam was closing the door to that apartment after paying the pizza delivery man. She turned to Spike who was leaning against the wall. "I hope you don't mind, but I got some ice cream as well" she said indicating the small container in her hand. She carried that and the pizza box over to the couch and placed them on the coffee table while continuing to ramble on. "Of course you can have some too, but not too much. It's my favourite flavour!"
Sam then proceeded to devour the pizza. Spike looked at the carton of ice cream. The label said it was cookie dough fudge mint chip. It sounded sickeningly sweet.
"Uh, no thanks" he replied.
"Your loss" she said while picking up the remote and flicking through the channels.
Soon she was engrossed in a random television program, lounging in his couch and munching her way through a pizza. Spike took this moment to retreat the short distance to his kitchen, planning on getting his own snack without the young girl noticing. He pulled a packet of blood out of the fridge and stayed there while quietly drinking his dinner.
When Spike was throwing away the empty packet he noticed Sam's backpack sitting on the counter. He was curious. Well actually he was extremely curious, that was the main reason he had helped this girl in the first place. Spike picked up the bag. He knew it was wrong to go through over people's stuff, but as he rummaged through her bag he thought *I'm evil so I don't care!*.
Spike was bored by the contents in the main pocket, just items of clothing and a book, so he zipped open the front pocket. Inside he found her crumpled map of LA, a wallet, some keys, a pen and a half eaten chocolate bar. Spike took out the wallet, the most interesting item in his opinion and probably the thing that could tell him more about her.
This wallet had a plastic pocket inside it where a person could keep cards or small photos. There was a photo on top and it made Spike gasp. It was Buffy. He could tell it wasn't just the similar looking Sam because the Buffy in the picture looked to be in her early twenties. He pulled the picture out to get a better look at it and noticed some writing on the back.
Spike turned it over reading the short inscription, 'Mom, 2004'.
