"So tell me again, why am I here?" Xander asked Buffy

"For support." Buffy said

"Right. I could have stayed and helped you know." Xander said

"Xander, look Spike could be very helpful to finding Gunn ok." Buffy said

"I don't like the guy. Sue me." Xander said

"He's not so bad. He's very nice if you get to know him." Buffy told him. Remembering about last night and the kiss they shared in the morning.

"Right we are talking about the same spike here. Yay high, peroxide hair big smoker." Xander said. Buffy laughed

"You're scared of him?" She asked

"No." Xander said a little too quickly

"Oh my god! Yes you are. No wonder." Buffy said and laughed at him. "Don't worry it will be our own little secret." Xander made a face

They got to Spikes crypt and it was all dark.

"Well guess he's not here. Lets go" Xander turned away but Buffy grabbed him They opened the door and Buffy went over to the middle of the room and pushed the coffin out of the way. There was light and noise coming from the down stairs.

"Who the bloody hell is it?" Spike called Xander rolled his eyes

"It's me Buffy and Xander's here to." Buffy yelled back. Spike appeared almost instantly.

"Slayer, back so soon." He said and gave her that smile

"Umm..right actually we came for some help" Buffy said

"Ohh well then come on in." Spike said and helped Buffy down. Xander was left to climb down all by him self.

"So what's the big emergency?" Spike asked going over and grabbing the same bottle of alcohol she had used to clean his wounds He took a drink "Want some?"

"No thanks we'll pass." Xander said

"Suit yourself" Replied Spike

"Gunn's missing. He was patrolling with me last night and he never got back home." Buffy said. "We think maybe that vamp guys we fought last night got him."

"Peaches?" Spike gave a little laugh "I wouldn't put it past him."

"So then you know him?" Buffy asked

"Practically family." Spike said "Before this bloody soul and shit. Used to terrorize the would country and then some. Yeah he probably has him."

"Your lack of sympathy amazes me." Xander said

"Keep you're pants on. If I know Angle he hasn't killed him yet." Spike said "that would be too easy."

"What do you mean?" Xander asked

"He's probably torturing him. We did it all the time." Spike answered

"Do you know where we can find him?" Buffy asked

"We can go look." Spike said "I can't promise anything."

"Fine then lets go" Xander said and with that they all went looking for Angle and hopefully Gunn.

************************************

Willow, Giles and Cordelia were in the library. There were at least 20 books opened up on the table. They were trying to get information on this Angel and the Master.

"This sucks." Cordelia said "we haven't found anything in over an hour. And this watchers writing is barely readable."

"Cordy, just keep looking there's going to be something. There has to." Willow said

"Fine...Ohhh I found something!" Cordelia said happily

Gils and Willow looked up a little startled

"Oh my god this is not very good. Listen: Angelus was not alone in his days. He and another vampire known as William the Bloody were well known to work together. They alone killed over 20 villages in Northern Europe. They had no mercy what's so ever and did most of the killings to amuse them selves. William got his name from all the people he killed that he was always covered with blood. The vampires were together for 100 wrecking havoc in Europe. They came over seas to the Americas in the early 1890s.where they still caused damage. In the 1930s William went missing and has yet to be found:" Cordelia finished and they were all looking at each other

"Wow it was Spike. Wasn't it Giles?" Willow asked

"Yes I'm afraid so." Giles said

"BUT we know what happened to him he got a soul. So why isn't that in here? He's good now." Cordelia said

"These books are very old they don't exactly keep up." Gils said

"So do we have to worry?" Cordelia asked

"No I know Spike. He's good now all the times he helped us. He can't be working with Angle" Willow said "He has saved us."

"What if that's what he wants us to think?" Cordelia said

"Yes you have a point." Giles said "we should let Buffy and Xander know they might be walking right into a trap."

"Yeah but how?" Cordelia asked

"Grab yo0ur coats, maybe we can still catch them." Giles said

The girls grabbed their stuff and followed him outside.

*********************************

"Master everything is almost set for the ceremony." Angel said They were deep underground. The Master was sitting down. It was only a matter of time before was able to rise again.

"Very well. And how is our host?" The Master asked

"Still alive. He is very strong for a human" Angel said

"I like that it makes the blood taste even better." The Master said 'And the slayer."

"On her way she was spotted with Spike and a human." Angle said

"Spike? Ahh what a marvelous creature. The way he killed it was art. He shall join us again"

"Yes Master." Angel said "He shall."
