As Harley pulled up in front of the original 'Roach Motel' Alpha sneered as he looked the place over.

"Damn slayer, I can't believe this place hasn't been condemned yet" he muttered before he could stop himself.

With a growl Faith slid off the motorcycle and glared at him "Hey Chihuahua boy, I don't know who the hell you think you are but this is all I have." She snarled as Alpha just shook his head.

Looking at the drunk slayer Alpha sighed "Let me guess, this was set up by that umm... postal watcher wasn't it?" he growled to himself when she nodded as he got off the motorcycle and looked at the building again.

Faith crashing into his bike and nearly knocking it over warned him she was not going to be much help as he tried to keep her from hitting the ground to hard and keep the Harley in an upright position.

Finally getting the Bike set he looked down at faith as she snored on the concrete sidewalk.

Growling to himself the large were picked up the slayer and headed for her room.

Alpha had just set Faith into her bed when her eyes snapped open.

In a split second Alpha saw through her eyes, she had woken up in pain and with her head hurting with a large furry humanoid standing over her. As such he could accept her mistake as she lashed out with a heavy kick to the head.

Rolling off the bed faith grabbed the spare stake she kept there.

Alpha was just coming back to his feet when he felt the sharp pain in his chest. Looking down at the piece of wood he noticed the hair start to recede back into the skin as he shifted back into Xander. [Fuck] he thought silently before his eyes rolled back into his head and he collapsed.

Faith stared at the still form of Xander for several seconds before the last day caught up to her, she managed to get to the bed before she passed out.
