Chapter 11

Later at the house on Revello Drive, the Scoobies have gathered yet again. Giles is pacing the length of the living room; everyone else is situated on the couches before him. He stops, turns, looks at Dawn and repeats his question for the fifth time in as many minutes.

"So let me get this straight Dawn. You say that Spike's crypt was completely trashed, correct?"

"Yep, that's what I saw. Now, what are you going to do about it?"

"Well, I for one, say we do nothing. It's just Spike. I don't see why we should do anything. Remember evil vampire. We're supposed to kill these guys, but obviously someone got to him first." Xander says.

"Xander, this is Spike. Our friend" at his look, "okay, our ally. You can't just decide to stop helping when it's his life, or un-life as the case may be, is on the line when he's saved you several times." Willow states.

"Besides. Is it not likely that whoever took Spike may also have taken Buffy?" Giles adds.

"I guess. But I don't see why we have to look for Deadboy, Jr. It's not like he was all that helpful. He was just doing it to get into Buffy's pa…" He glances at Dawn and changes his statement." Heart. Yep trying to get into Buffy's heart."

"Xander. Stop it right now. We have to find them, before it's too late." Dawn reprimands.
