Ch 4. Unaware
Buffy, Xander and Dawn arrived at the hospital to get Dawn's shoulder checked. Her injury was minor, however the doctor recommend that she wear a shoulder cast for two weeks to protect it from further damage. He also suggested she stay overnight just in case.
"Xander it's pretty late, you should go now." says Buffy.
"You staying?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna spend the night here with Dawn."
"Alright, what time should pick ya'll up tomorrow?" asks Xander.
"I'll call you, & let ya know we she's released. Also would you mind calling 'Doublemeat Palace' & tell my boss I won't be able to make it tomorrow.
"Sure. Goodnight Dawn, try not to get hurt yourself anymore between now & tomorrow. Those movable flatbeds can be pretty darn tricky."
"Very funny." says Dawn frosty.
"See ya, Buff." He waves behind him and leaves.
Dawn turns around and looks at Buffy meekly. "You mad?"
She sighs, "No of course I'm not mad, if anything I'm glad you're okay. But do you see what your fun little ideas did? It landed us in the hospital. Good thing we have insurance."

In another part of the hospital…
"What have you got?"
"David Schroeder, age 29. English Caucasian. Height-5"10, 160 lbs. Brown hair, blue eyes. He was reported missing around three weeks ago in Sacramento."
"This is who we think our patient is?"
"Yes, sir."
"How much information do we have on this David Schroeder?"
"Very little. Pretty much what I just stated."
"Well, does he have any family?"
"None. He's an only child, his parents passed away some time ago, & from what we know he's never been married." she replies.
"How sure are you that this is him?"
"We're around 90% sure it's him. He fits the description pretty accurately as well as the profile we've got, and he has blood type A, same as this guy." she shows him the profile.
He examines the profile carefully. "I think you're right. It's him."
"So what do we do now?"
"We inspect the situation & the facts a little more thoroughly, so we can be absolutely assured this is him. Odds are it is."

Okay if I turn left here, then I must be…
Lost. Yep, I'm so lost, Buffy thinks to herself.
You'd think would after coming to this hospital so many times when Mom was sick I'd know my way around. No wait, I think with Mom that was in another building specifically for patients with cancer or other terminally fatal diseases... Anyway that's doesn't matter right now, so where am I? Who knows. This is all Dawn's fault.
'Buffy, I hate the food they gave me. Can you go to the vending machines & get me some candy & chips?'
'Sure Dawny, be right back.'
I was so dumb. I could've just said no, but instead I go & get myself lost. Okay, just think. I went to the first floor where the main lobby is. That's simple enough. Then I went back upstairs to the forth floor, where I thought was Dawn's room, but all I saw were rooms with babies & screaming ladies in them. Afterwards was when I made my fatal mistake of taking another elevator on the other side back down to the lobby. That wasn't the main lobby, I saw no snack bar. So I decided to just look all around for the elevator I had taken earlier. That was around twenty minutes ago, she sighs.
She walks up to a janitor. "Excuse me sir, can you tell me where room 24D is?"
"Room 24D? I think that's in the forth level." he says.
"Yeah, I went there and it was the Maternity Ward."
"Oh really, well then maybe you're in the wrong building."
"But I never left this building." she says.
"Well sometimes, if you walk far enough on the ground level you cross over to the next building."
"Oh."
"Why don't you try going to the building right beside here?"
"Alright then, thank you." Reluctantly, she walks outside over to the next building and to the front desk.
"Miss, can you tell me where room 24D is?", she asks then receptionist.
"Lemme check, we don't have a room 24D, but we do have just 24. How bout' that?"
Buffy shrugs, "Alright."
"It's on the second floor."
She goes on the elevator up to the second floor. She gets out and looks down the hallway.
Hey, this looks familiar, she thinks to herself. Yay, I found it. There's even that same poster of the bald guy.
She walks into room 24.
"Hey Dawn I'm back, sorry I took so…", she looks at the guy lying on the bed. Oops, that's not Dawn.
"I am so sorry, I must have the wrong room." she quickly turns around.
"That's alright." he says.
She begins to leave, when she quickly stops herself. Hmm... that voice sounds familiar.
"Spike?"
