Author's Note: I honestly didn't think that this story would do so well. As for the "Eat That, Deadboy!" line. I didn't think it was that funny. Enjoy the new chapter.

As the Scooby Gang marched toward Oz's van, Xander pulled Buffy aside. "What is it, Xander?" asked Buffy, a little annoyed.

"What is it Buff? It's the fact that I saw you and Angel smooching, or should I say reenacting the kissing scene from The Mask Of Zorro?"

Buffy stared at Xander in disbelief. "You were spying on me?" (Doesn't that sound familiar?)

"No. I was going home and I saw a light on in Angel's mansion. When I checked it out you were there trying to suck his face into your mouth," snapped Xander.

Buffy shook her head. "I don't have time for this. I'm going to save Giles."

Buffy turned and headed for Oz's van. As Xander watched her retreating form he heard a noise. He glanced over his shoulder and what he saw made his already bad mood even worse.

"Xander are you coming?" called Faith. Xander glanced at the slayer and back to the bushes.

"I think I'll travel by foot."

Faith shrugged and hoped in the van. A few seconds later Oz put the Chevy to the levy and drove off. Xander quickly glanced around and headed for the bushes.

"What the hell do you want Benji?" Xander demanded as he squatted down next to the balance demon.

Benji glanced around before answering Xander. "Listen a friend of mine owns a karaoke bar down in L.A. and he owes me a favor."

Xander looked at the demon in disbelief. "What the hell does that have to do with my problem?"

Benji smacked himself in the forehead. "Xander he is a demon! He has this kinda power thing that involves singing and people's destinies, it's all very complicated."

"Well make it uncomplicated. As for now, I have a watcher to save."



Willy knew that when his mother told him to stay away from the bad life that he should have listened. But he has a thick head. Hence the reason he owns his bar. And hence the reason he was now pinned against a wall.

"Listen I already told Xander and your watcher that I know nothing about where Spike is staying," Willy pleaded with Buffy who was pulling on his arm.

At the mention of Xander's name Buffy pulled harder. "Hey B, I know you don't like this guy and all but that's no reason to hurt him and all. It's not gonna give us back Giles if you kill him."

At Faith's words Buffy let poor Willy loose. "Let's go," she commanded the others.



Xander walked into the warehouse like he owned it. He decided to put Benji to good use and see what the demon could find on Spike. All that the demon turned up was the address of an old warehouse in dock town.

As Xander scanned the area a voice called out, "Who's there?"

It was unmistakably Spike. "I said who is bloody there?" Spike demanded.

When Xander didn't answer Spike emerged from the shadows. "Oh. It's just you."

Xander grinned. "What are you bloody grinning about?" the vampire asked.

"You have three seconds to turn over Giles or I'll kill you," Xander answered.

Spike became paler than usual. "Boy what ever happened to hello?"

Xander pulled a stake out of his jacket and gripped it in his hand. Spike looked at Xander with fear in his eyes.

"Bloody hell. You're not kidding."

Xander shook his head. And in the next instant the fight was on.



Benji kicked up his heels and settled down to read some book he had picked up at the airport. The writer, Joss Whedon, was supposed to be really good. However, a knock on his door prevented this from happening.

"What the hell do you want?" Benji asked as he opened the door.

On the other side of the door stood his mentor, Whistler.

"Hello, Benji. We've got a problem."

Benji, shrugging off the fact that Whistler got right down to business, was instantly alert.

"What is the matter?" asked Benji.

Whistler sighed. "You screwed up. Big time. Your Virtue is about to die."

"How?"

Whistler gave Benji a look. "How do they usually die?"

Benji blushed. "I meant why is he going to be killed."

"He is being blamed for something he did not do."

Benji stood there trying to figure out what Whistler meant when it hit him. "Oh no."

Whistler nodded. "Oh, yes. And you have to save him."



The gang marched into the library distraught that Spike could not be found. "How are we supposed to save Giles if we don't know where to look for him?" Buffy asked as she sat down.

Willow shrugged. "I know your not going to like this answer very much but maybe we'll just have to wait."

It was at this moment that Cordelia stomped into the library. "What the hell is wrong with you people?" she demanded.

Everyone gave her a look but said nothing. Cordelia stomped her foot.

"Honestly you get a ransom note and no one cares."

Instantly everyone was by the prom queen's side. "What did you say?" asked Faith.

"I said I have a ransom note. Last night some vampires attacked me with this big ugly demon guy watching he told me to be a good girl and then stuffed a note into my bra."

"And you didn't tell us because?" Buffy asked.

Cordelia looked impatient. "Because you always know when something like this happens," she said, in a 'duh' kind of way.

Buffy rolled her eyes. "What did the note say?" the slayer asked.

"Just that they had Giles and that if you wanted him back alive and unharmed to met them behind the Fish Tank in dock town."

Buffy looked at the others. "What did the demon look like?" asked Oz.

When Cordelia described him the gang automatically knew who it was.

"Fereck."



Xander threw the limp body of Spike to the ground. While had a few bruises and scrapes as well as a bloody nose Spike was worse for wear.

"And now," Xander said as he got on top of Spike, (Not in that way you pervert) "it is time for you to die."

As Xander brought the stake down Spike's life and afterlife flashed before his eyes. But today was his lucky day. Because at that moment a man grabbed Xander's hand and stopped him from bringing the stake down.

Xander wheeled around and looked at the man who had prevented him from staking the vampire who had probably already killed the only father he really had ever had. And what he saw mad him madder.

"Benji."
