Part 12: Pancakes

Spike casually stepped down the stairs as if he was just going to grab a bite to eat in the kitchen. He was almost glad for the spot of violence just waiting for him outside, all he was missing was his leather coat.
He knew that when alerted, the slayers could be here within minutes. They could easily kill the vampires for him, and he wouldn't have to lift a finger. But he couldn't risk waiting, if the vamps get inside, Alex would be put in even more danger. 'Best do it myself, besides there is the factor of Angel to deal with,' Spike thought to himself.
Spike assessed the damage. So far, nothing. The front door was intact, and so were the windows. Spike honed on his senses, trying to pick up on Angel's location. Spike grinned as his senses directed him to the back door.
Before he headed in Angel's direction, he walked to the front door and waited a beat before punching the code to release its safety reinforcements. As the slightly damaged steel slid back up, Spike saw that the original door was already destroyed. Spike's grin returned as he was greeted by five vamps standing around, looking thoroughly dumbfounded.
Spike stepped over the threshold, and made quick work to dust the five vamps. "Gits..."

Buffy picked the phone up at the first ring. "Yeah?"
"We're here at the dorm, just give the word and we'll alert the slayers."
"Kay, Just cant be too careful, ya know?"
"Yeah. Giles called, saying Willow has everything for the spell."
"She called not a minute ago, but we hafta see if he actually lost his soul first."
"Gotcha, just call, if need be. I don't wanna be cause for a false alarm for over 30 irritated slayers in training. 'Nough said."
"Right. Thanks again, Xander, for getting there. I'll talk to you later."
"No prob."

Not wanting to leave an entrance to the house, Spike went back in and sealed the entryway. Spike thought about going to the windows next, but thought it easier to just go ahead to the backdoor.
Opening the safety net, like the he did with the front door, he was greeted not by Angel, but by six more newly risen vamps. "Well, hello there, guess good ol' gramps is having you do his dirty work." Like the first time, the vamps looked at him for a second. 'Probably to admire my sensational good looks.' Spike smirked and as he lunged at the first vamp he caught a glimpse of Angel, standing under the tree in the backyard.
"Thanks, dear Angelus, for the playthings," Spike said while staking the vamps one by one as he stepped outside.
The other vamps who were at the windows, circled the house to get to the action. But, like the others, as soon as they made their advance, they ended up as dust. As for the remaining three, they actually put up a fight, trying to best the elder vampire, but they soon turned to dust.
As Spike twisted the head off the last vamp, Spike turned and grinned at Angel.
