It had just turned 2:34 when the phone rang. Willow got up from her desk and answered.
"Hi, who's this?"
On the other end of the phone was the social service's office.
"Hello, I'm Joshua Lanceton, from social services. I'm calling on regard of Dawn Summers. My associate Ms. Kroger had preformed an interview the other day; unfortunately she lost her files and has now gone on vacation, so I will be conducting another interview. When would you like to schedule it?"
Willow knew better than to just schedule a time without consulting Buffy, so she told the man to hold and covered the receiver with her hand.
"Buffy!!!!"
A couple of seconds later came in Dawn with a bad attitude.
"She's not here, so stop your stupid screaming!"
Willow got that Dawn was still pissed, and apologized, but then remembered the guy was on the line. She didn't know what to say to the man, so she told him to call back later. Then she went back to the computer and decided to find out all the information she could on this guy that would be helpful for Buffy.
***
Walking through the park, Buffy sighed. She was thinking about what she was going to do about Dawn. *It's bad enough that she's mad at me, now I risk losing her too.* Along with the worry of losing Dawn was the whole problem with Spike. Racing through her mind were all these mixed feelings for him and questions about her emotions.
*Do I love Spike? Bad Buffy! Don't even THINK that. This is Mr. Big Bad, the evil vampire that killed innocents. But also the sweet guy that cared for you and Dawn. God why can't I make up my mind with him?* After a while she got tired of arguing with herself and decided to go home.

Back at the house, Willow had been talking with people online about this Lanceton guy. She found out from this girl that he likes families. The girl Willow was talking to also had a sister, which she lost because she had no husband or job, and they thought she wasn't suited to take care of a teen. Willow sighed, worried about her best friend.
"Shit, what's Buffy going to do know? This is exactly like her situation." Then a knock on her door surprised her and she jumped, before realizing it was Buffy.
"Hey, where you been?"
Buffy came in and sat on the bed next to Willow.
"Hey Will, I was just out for a walk. Thinking. What you been doing all day?"
"I've been looking up info on this guy Lanceton that called. He's the social worker that's coming to redo the interview."
"Oh so when's he coming?"
"Well he's going to call back, but what I found out you're not gonna like.."
Willow then started telling what she knew. Buffy freaked. What was she going to do? She couldn't even go to Giles for help. And having Xander and Anya gone on their honeymoon the only people she had left to ask for help were Dawn, Will, and....
Spike.
