Chapter 6

When they got to Chicago's airport it's night so they go straight to the hotel. The next morning Buffy calls her sisters to tell them that she will be moving around a lot due to her new job, but if they need her they can contact her thru Spike's phone number that he gave Beth. While Buffy was calling her sisters Spike called a meeting of the band in his room.

"Look guys I have never asked for anything from this group expect your friendship so now I'm asking for something." They all look at Spike with worried sighs.

"The reason I called this meeting is to ask a favor of you. I want to give a benefit concert in Waco, Texas for the children of Joyce Summers. She died a couple of years ago when she passed out and drove off the road into a lake on her way home from work, but they just found her body last week in the lake. So it's as if she died the very day they were told about the Polices' discovery."

Spike looks down when he starts the next part of his tale. "Her oldest daughter kept up appearances, so they could stay together. She sold things from the house to buy food, if it wasn't for her father sending his child support money they would have been broke. Nobody found out that they were alone in the house until she finished high school. Only then did the state find out that their aunt was not living there like Buffy said. The younger sisters were taking from her." Spike is interrupted by one of the guys from the band.

"Spike why should we care about this, it is not like these things don't happen to other people everyday?" Wesley rudely says.

"Well when she lost her sisters to the state she sold everything that would bring her money to pay a lawyer so she could fight for them. When I met Buffy she lived in a house with barely anything in it. She was working at a crappy job and still hoping that her mother was just lost somewhere and would come home soon. They need to know that their mother was not forgotten, I want to do this for them. Wesley I want you to a few things.

As Spike spoke he told them his plan to give Buffy's mother a proper goodbye, and also let Buffy know her hard work to keep the family together was not in vein. Wesley and the others got up, they went right to work that they chose to do for this plan. After the talk they realized what was at stake with the girls. Spike goes down to the lobby to meet Spike no more the wiser of Spike's plan to help her sisters and maybe get them back.
