A/N: I do not own any of the hot vamps in this story. :( Any ways on with the story.

Chapter 11 The Plot Thickens

"Come on, please!" we begged. "How? There's a little problem called the SUN!" Spike said sarcastically. I had over-looked that for a moment. "Well, I have heard there are these old tunnels that run under the town. They were used for beer running during the probation." I informed him. Looking excited for a minute, then sad, he asked "How do we get to them?" That struck me hard; I hadn't planned on that question either. I looked around to the others for the answer. Merry shook her head, Jade looked away but Babs had an idea. "We wait until night, drop the guys off at the tavern then have them go through the tunnels and find one that leads close to one of our houses." she said looking hopeful. "Won't work," Jade said, "They only know where Merry lives and I don't think the old tunnels run up to the newer houses." "We could drop them off tonight and in the morning we could go over and buy the tavern." Merry suggested. I smiled "That's brilliant, Merry!" "B and Jade will you two stay with us?" Angel asked tenitively Shocked I looked at Jade, she looked at me with an evil smile and answered "Yes WE can" looking back to me she said " It won't hurt you, now will it?" With a shaky smile I answered "No" 'At least I hope it wont' "Jade, don't you need to call your mom?" Babs asked. "Shit!" Jade said as she began to flush in the face, suddenly she began to sing. "Happy, Joy, Joy!" as she danced around the room. We all stared at her like she had lost her marbles. "Is everything ok, Love?" Spike asked as he reached out to touch her. "Don't touch me!" Jade snapped then turned and saw Spike, "Oh, sorry Spikey Wikey. I just don't like people touching me. No, I have not lost what's left of my sanity. I just had a thought; I get to move out of my mom's house soon. Yeah!" Spike recovered from the hurt in his eyes and moved in and kissed Jade on her forehead, holding her close with his chin resting on top of her head. He looked over at Angel then to me and back to Angel and winked at him with an evil smile. Angel just glared at him ' Just you wait until later you blonde haired freak' and kept his silence.

Loaded down with sleeping bags and pillows I had a hard time closing the car door and waving good-bye to Babs at the same time. Jade was standing at the tavern door holding it open and telling me to hurry, she didn't want to get wet anymore form the pouring rain. Spike and Angel had been determined to walk here why I don't know. As the car drove off I hurried through the open door saying thanks to Jade as I went past. Closing and locking the door with the spare key the lady gave us, Jade pulled off her soaking wet trench coat and hung it over the dusty coat hook. "This is a nice place. It could do with a little less dust, though." She said. Smiling as I dropped the bags and pillows on the bar " It will have considerable less dust once it's ours and we clean it up some." I swiped my hand across the bar and left a streak of cherry wood as I went. Looking at my hand, it had a thin layer of crap on it; I wiped it off on my pants. "So I wonder if the guys are alright, why they wanted to walk in the rain I will never know." Sitting on a bench she had just dusted off Jade looked at me "Well, I think it was more Angel wanted to walk and he just dragged poor Spikey into it." As I pretended to be offended " Well then if that's the way it is why didn't you get him in a lip lock and drag him into the car?" I teased. Turning red from the laughter Jade changed the subject. "How do you suppose Merry's doing with her date? You know Rowdy even brought her flowers. Why can't we find us some nice guys? "Who said I wanted a nice guy?" I teased "B!, We already have us some bad boys." She teased right back. "Yeah, we sure do." I sighed. "We should find a place to sleep and set it up before the boys get here."

"Why the bloody hell did we have to walk in the rain for?" Spike grumbled as he trudged through the stream that had formed in the street. "Why do you have to go after both girls?" Angel accused "Who, Me, I would never." Spike teased. "Besides I like both of them and you don't seem to like either one so I will take them, they both seem to like me." he said as he kicked some water in Angel's way. Glaring at him, Angel said "What makes you so sure that they both like a freak like you? With your hair and you devilish ways?" "What's wrong with me hair? I'll have you know that women find my hair very sexual," he said a little pompously. "Well we will see when I ask the girls what they like about you, wont we." Angel said as he reached the front of the tavern.
