Chapter 19
Buffy Spike and Angel turned around to see the angry face of Riley.
"Well well Buffy I knew you liked vampire love but come on a three some that's not really your style"
Spike looked at Buffy expecting her to collapse or something but what she did surprised him.
"No Riley that's your thing, but unlike you I can have 'Friends' who I don't sleep with can you say the same"
Riley was shocked at her outburst she would never talk to him like that.
"What's the matter Buffy didn't I give it to you rough enough, you know where the chains are if you wanna go again"
Buffy smiled at him "No thanks prefer a lover who doesn't have to try to satisfy me" she said putting an arm around Spike.
Riley's eyes weer full of rage when Buffy had touched Spike. "Get away from my wife, you freak" Riley screamed at Spike.
"Sing a different tune mate I've heard this all before and she is not your wife"
Realisation dawned on Riley, arguing with Spike was familiar. Spike had been there that night Buffy went missing.
"You knocked me out the other night didn't you, you bastard, what did you do to the chip"
Spike shot Buffy a glance and she raised her eyebrows at him.
"It doesn't work" he said vamping out.
Riley dove at Spike and he quickly jumped out of the way. He wasn't stupid as long as Riley believed that he didn't have the chip then it would keep Buffy safe. Riley jumped Spike again and this time landed on him when Spike stumbled over a chair. Angel ran over to Riley and pulled him of his grandchilde. Riley fell to the ground next where Buffy was standing.
"Buffy help me sweetie, you remember how to slay right"
Buffy held her hand out to Riley which surprised both Angel and Spike. What surprised them more was when she backhanded Riley back down.
"Know this Riley, your weak I am strong, I will always be stronger than you no matter what you do, so get it into your head I will always be better than you"
Riley looked up at her threw blood blurry eyes. "But how he stammered, I drugged you"
"Yeah and I have recovered, now you're the week one"
Luke came over to the group. "You there get out of here now, I have called the cops"
Riley pulled a knife out of his boot "you little bitch, ill show you who's weak"
Riley started advancing on Buffy but Luke stepped in his way.
"I told you to get out" Luke tried to grab the knife out of Riley's hand but he wouldn't let go. Riley and Luke began to struggle and both fell to the floor when one of them tripped. Buffy ran over to the two trying to separate them but got knocked in the knee by a flailing limb. Spike and Angel tried to keep an eye on who had the knife but they had lost sight of it. Suddenly the two on the floor stopped rolling and everyone stopped still watching for life. Spike ran over to the two and pulled Riley off of Luke. Luke face was covered with blood and his hands were clutching something by his stomach. Spike realised it was a blood soaked knife with the blade reaching up to the ceiling. Looking over at Riley Spike saw that his stomach was covered with blood and he want moving. Spike walked over to Riley and kicked him in the leg, he didn't move. Angel came over and checked his pulse. He looked over at Buffy and shook his head.
"He's dead"
"Excuse us please let us through" Buffy looked up to see two police men making there was through the crowd. One of them ran over to Riley and looked him over.
"What happened to him" the other yelled.
"He just went nuts and tried to attack them" someone in the crowd yelled pointing at Buffy, Spike and Angel.
"Is that true" he asked them
All three nodded.
"Alright then I am going to need some information then, who is this guy" he said pointing to Riley's dead body.
"He's my ex husband" Buffy stuttered. "Riley Finn"
"And he attacked you" the policeman asked.
"He bloody tried to fondle her that's what he did, then he came after me" Spike said trying to clear Buffy of anything.
"I see and who are you and what is your relationship with this girl"
"I am Spike, she's Buffy and she is umm my room mate"
"Ok, do you know why he attacked"
"He was angry about the divorce," Buffy said falling into a chair.
"Are you alright miss"
Buffy shook her head her knee was swollen and red.
"Well ok we need you to answer some more questions down at the station, we can fix you up there"
Buffy got up and the officer helped her walk pout of the room. Spike went to follow but the other officer stopped him.
"Look mate we will need you to stay to clarify a few things you can pick her up later ok"
Spike looked reluctantly at Buffy then nodded at the officer.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Buffy sat in the police station looking at the floor wondering what had just happened. The night had started out great then Riley turned up then Riley was dead then the police had question her and now she was waiting for Spike to pick her up. The police had gone over her statement again and then got some details on Riley and had then called his parents. Buffy told the police than she didn't want anything to do with them and to tell them not to bother her with any Riley issues, they could have everything Riley owned. Buffy felt very self conscience sitting there in the police station while criminals walked past and ogled at her. Two black booted feet appeared in Buffys eyes site and she looked up to she a very dishevelled Spike.
"Is Luke ok" she asked.
Spike nodded sitting down next to her. "Yeah it was all Riley's blood, hes gonna be ok every one saw the same thing so its self defence, he wont have to go to court"
"That's good"
"You ok luv" Spike asked
"My knees a little sore still, I'll be alright in a few days"
"That's not what I meant"
"Oh" she said looking up at him through sad eyes. "He's always been dead to me you know, just now its official, its kinda freaky, but I think I will be ok, where's Angel"
"He left, didn't think he should stay, well actually I told him to rack off cause I could handle it, he said to ring if we want him to come back. He said he might visit in a few months"
"I don't need to call him, I want to go home"
"Ok" Spike said taking off his jacket. "Here you'll need this its cold out side"
Buffy wobbly stood up and put the jacket on. Spike put his arm around her so she could support her self on him.
"I am so used to looking over my shoulder Spike, what do I do now"
