Buffy and Willow met back with Riley and Sam at the Summers house, Willow and Buffy hadn't found anything much like Riley and Sam. Riley and Sam were still sitting in the dining room looking over some recent protfollios from The Initiative. They looked up when Buffy and Willow walked into the room, but they already knew from the looks on their faces that they didn't find anything.
" Well this could mean two things basically," Same began saying when Buffy and Willow both took seats at the table. " One, is that the vampire could have died from the virus, or Two, the vampire escaped Sunnydale already."
" Which one has a better ratio?" Willow asked glancing at the portfollios on the table.
" Number one probably, since the vampire wouldn't even have enough energy to move after two days." Riley replied picking up a folder. " It also turns out that there have been some 'tampering' back at The Initiative, this was a file I asked to be sent to me and this was supposed to include an analizies of why we are here and special requests for insights into hospitals and any other places we might find of use for our case."
" And?" Buffy asked raising a brow.
" And it doesn't include any of it! The General never sent it through here!" Riley said putting down the file.
" That's bad isn't it?" Willow said timidly.
" Yeah it kinda is, this is a highly important case and they basically ignored it, there's something going on over there." Sam said shaking her head, suddenly the backdoor in the kitchen opened up and slamed shut and a small sample of smoke came through the dining room door.
" Spike?" Buffy asked looking into the kitchen, she knew it was him but asked anyway.
" Yeah I'm here." Replied the muffled cockny voice. Buffy had a curious look on her face and got up and walked into the kitchen, Spike leaned against the kitchen counter by the sink, the wooly brown blanket he often used as a barrior to the sunlight was draped around his shoulders. But the most ackward thing about him at the moment was that he had a blood stained hankerchiff held to his nose tightly with the end hanging right below his mouth hense his muffled-ness.
" Demon bar fight?" Buffy asked raising a brow and smiling a bit.
" For once no." Spike replied still having his hand over his nose with the cloth barrier.
" First time for everything," Buffy grinned, " What happened to you then?"
" I dunno, I was just sitt'n there at Willy's then all of the sudden my nose started ta bleed then I couldn't get it to stop." Spike said surprised.
" What? Vampires don't get random nose bleeds." Buffy said taken back a bit.
" Really? Oh well I wasn't concerned the bit luv." Spike said sarcastically.
" No need to get snippy." Buffy said crossing her arms, " Let me see." Spike groaned and removed the hankerchiff, sure enough his nose was bleeding so much it was going over his lips but he was probably licking his lips every 5 seconds.
" Yikes." Buffy cringed, Spike put the hankerchiff back.
" I can't get it to stop, why's it bleed'n like that?" Spike thought for a moment, " Ah ha!"
" What?" Buffy asked.
" You! I told you if you kept on punch'n it it'd probably fall off and no it's going to I hope your happy!" Spike said pointing at her.
" Oh stop being such a big baby." Buffy rolled her eyes at him, " Your nose is not going to fall off...." Buffy started to trail off.
" What?" Spike asked a bit causiously.
" Constant nose bleeds, intense head aces, mucsle aches...." Buffy whispered to herself and started to trail off a bit more, her eyes starting to become wider and her face striken with fear.
" Buffy what're you ramble'n on 'bout?" Spike asked curious.
" You have one of the first symptons of the Virus." Buffy said looking up at him shocked. " Spike.... Your infected."
" Well this could mean two things basically," Same began saying when Buffy and Willow both took seats at the table. " One, is that the vampire could have died from the virus, or Two, the vampire escaped Sunnydale already."
