Chapter 13
When Buffy got back to her house everyone was there anxiously awaiting her return. "Buffy, what did you find out?" Dawn asked her sister.
"I don't know anything yet. I asked Benny to help me find her; he should call when he finds something." They all seemed okay with that except for Spike.
"You went to that wanker. We don't need his help." Buffy took a deep breath. Spike and Benny could never get along and she had a feeling that it had something to do with her.
"I didn't have a choice, Spike. The police aren't having much luck, maybe Benny will. He's good at this stuff and he's helped me out in the past so just deal with it, okay?" Spike sighed and nodded, he knew that she was right no matter how much he didn't trust that guy. He didn't like the way he looked at his girlfriend, but Emily is what mattered right now.
"So, we just wait then?" He asked and Buffy nodded.
"There's nothing else we can do right now." Spike nodded also and hugged her; he knew how hard this was for her. "Tell me that everything will be okay? I need to hear that right about now." Spike smiled and kissed the top of her head.
"Everything will be okay, just have to keep thinking that." Buffy nodded accepting his answer.
"Thank you, I just hope that she's okay." Spike agreed.
"If she's anything like you she will be." Buffy just hoped that he was right. In his apartment across town, Emily was still tied to a chair and she was starting to lose the feeling in her hands. Not to mention that she was bored to death. If she had to hear anymore about David's life she would knock herself unconscious, somehow. He was sitting in front of her talking like this was a normal situation. Like he didn't kidnap her and she wasn't tied to a chair right now.
"So, this is how I'm gonna die. You're gonna bore me to death with your lame life story." David smiled at her.
"It's important that you know about me, Emily. I am your father after all and we have 15 years to make up." Emily rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, well I think you're leaving out most of the story. Like the part about you being a raving psychotic." She told him and he continued to smile at her.
"Well, why don't we take a break and you tell me all about yourself instead." Emily rolled her eyes.
"No, your life is just so fascinating that mine couldn't even compare. Please go on, maybe I'll get lucky and you'll put me to sleep." David smiled at her again and she really wanted to wipe that smile off his face. She didn't know what her mom ever saw in this guy.
"Such a sense of humor, just like your mother. I really did love her you know. I wasn't ready to be a father then, but I think I'm ready now. We'll be happy together, sweetheart. You, me, and Buffy. We will finally be a family soon, you'll see." David told her and she didn't know what to say as he started on his life story again. God, she really wished she was unconscious right now. Mom, where the hell are you? Back at the house, Buffy was getting frustrated.
"Where the hell is he? How long does it take to find someone?" Xander put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"He'll find her, Buff. It just takes time." Buffy sighed.
"I know, but I'm going crazy here. I have to know if she's okay." They all agreed, but didn't say anything. After a few more minutes went by the phone finally rang and Buffy rushed to it and picked it up. "Hello," she said as she listened to the person on the other end. "Okay, thank you." She said as she hung up and then turned to the others with a smile on her face. "We got an address." She told everyone and they were all relieved as they thought about what they were going to do next.
