Chapter 7:

Whatever it takes

Spike handed her the photos and Buffy looked at them.

Her words caught in her throat.

"Buffy? What is it?" Spike asked worried.

"It's Dawn."

"Your little sis?" Spike asked.

Buffy was breathing heavily and her hands where shaking. Finally she nodded.

"What the hell is she doing here?" she thought to herself pacing the room.

Brad moved in his chair wondering what was going on but before he could ask questions Kevin spoke.

"Aren't you happy to see her?" he asked bewildered.

"No. I'm not."

"But why?" Kevin asked not knowing the fine line he was treading over.

"It's none of your business!" Buffy stormed out of the room slamming it behind her.

The two men looked at each other with puzzled looks as Spike ran after her.

"Buffy! Buffy, wait."

She just kept running down the hall, into the street.

The tires of the yellow cab screeched as the man behind the wheel tried to brake but it still impacted with Buffy.

She just stood there, her body frozen with a rush of emotions. Then all she could feel was pain. Not emotional but real pain in her whole body. It hurt like hell." Make it stop, please make the pain stop!" she screamed in her head before she passed out.

Lights. Really bright lights.

Her eyes opening she rubbed her eyes.Her arm hurt.She looked down on it.

It was ravelled up in bandages and now Buffy realized. She got hit by the car and now she was here-wherever here was.

"Probably hospital since your arm is in bandages..."she sat up but quickly stopped moving as there was a shot of pain ran through her upper torso."..And I broke at least two ribs. This makes my day complete." she told herself.

The room was painted light green and besides from the bed that she was lying in there where beeping machines and two chairs. The room looked quite nice but she had never liked hospitals, not since her cousin died in one.

Spike opened the door quietly and smiled at her when he realized she was awake. He closed the door behind him and stepped up to the side of the bed.

"How you doin'?"He asked concerned.

"I'm attached to a machine that's really getting on my nerves, some of my ribs are broken and I really HATE hospitals." she said in one breath.

"I see your fine then." he smiled and sat down next to her on the edge of the bed." The doctors said that you where very lucky, you only broke three ribs and have some scratches.

She lay there and thought about what to say. The memory of the her sister being in town and doing business with Adam Tray made her try to sit up but again she was confronted by pain.

"What's the rush, luv?"

"The rush is that my sister is out there all by herself, doing business with Adam Tray and I'm stuck in this stupid hospital. Even if she doesn't care about me anymore I still love her and I want to protect her but I can't and it's so confusing..."she never finished her sentence as she burst into tears and Spike, without hesitation, craddeled her.

"It's going to be fine. We'll find her and we'll stop Adam, just don't brake now. Please hang on."

He let go of their embrace and found that she wasn't crying anymore, just pulled up her nose a few times and wiped away the tears from her face with her hand.

"How late is it?" she asked.

"Its 2 o'clock." he answered after checking his watch.

"Alright we can start the search as soon as the sun rises."

"Woah, woah, slow down you need to rest and I'll take care of everything."

"No offence, but somehow I know that you can't handle it-or anything for that matter." Buffy stated as she gave him an honest look.

"Well I am taking offence but really I think I know what I'm doing."

"You have no idea what I went through; you've never seen the bad side of this city. The one where children as young as 10 prostitute themselves just to earn some money for food because their parents are too fucked up to look after them or the ones that sell drugs to survive."

"You ran away from your home. It was your choice! Nobody forced you." Spike said standing up his hands on his hips.

"How dare you! I've been to hell and back and yeah I might have chosen my rocky road but I'm still standing and you...you go fuck the hot little thieve instead of taking care of your work.Yeah you know exactly what your doing." her face was red of anger and her eyes glowed with rage.

"Stop bringing that up will you! It was a glitch. A mistake."

"You keep telling yourself that but somehow you keep repeating your mistakes. You've never tasted anything as wicked as me. You've never come so many times when you fucked someone. Never has anybody sucked your dick so hard that it was still swollen the next day. So go on tell me that that was a mistake, tell me that you had the best fuck of your life 3 days ago with me. No just any other girl.Me.The hot little tieve."She spoke those last words slowly looking deep into his eyes.

"You're twisted, do you know that?"

"Whatever, just leave!" he didn't move." I said go!"

Spike took a deep breath and left the room. Outside he went to the next drinks-machine to get a coffee. He bought one, took a sip and added sugar, not that it tasted much better with it but he just needed some caffeein. Walking back to Buffy's room he took another big sip before entering.

"Look I'm sorry, I overrea..."

She was gone.

Buffy walked quickly out of the front doors of the emergency hospital and got into a cab.

"To the club Before Dawn please." she told the black haired driver and he stepped onto the gas pedal.

It only took 20 minutes for her to get to the club, considering how far the hospital was from...well everything, and she wasn't the least bit surprised that the music was still loud although it was now half past 2.

She paid the man and climbed opened the door to step out. All eyes where on her and Buffy walked up to the front door and the big doorman never moved out of her way.

"Move."

"There's a line."

"Move." she said now firmer.

"Look missy I don't know if your ears are full of shit..."she punched his nose and when he put a hand to his nose and bended down a little, she took his head and rammed her knee in his face. He fell to the floor and the crowd looked at her in shock and some even backed away.

She stepped over the doorman and made her way inside. She knew exactly where she was going.

The smell of tobacco and alcohol stung a little in her nose as she entered Adam's office but she was used to it by now.

"Hello baby. What brings you to me at this hour?" Adam was sitting on his chair as usual and he had a girl on his lap. She wasn't wearing her top, which had been thrown on the floor, and it was obvious that she had walked into something.

"I need to talk to you." she said giving the girl a dirty look.

"Sorry. Let me just do this and well continue where we left off." he said to the girl.

She winked at him and got up walking past Buffy and out of the door.

"So shoot." he said gesturing his hand for her to take a seat.

"Well I beat up your doorman. You really should tell them who I am."

"What am I supposed to tell him that he should just let in a small blonde girl? My club would be full of little bimbos. No offence."

"None taken. Anyway I don't know if I can continue with Spike. I don't think he knows where this cross is."

"That's why I've gotten somebody else to help you." he said and gestured for somebody to get out of the shadows.

Buffy turned around to see who had bee here all along. Her heart stopped.

"Dawn..."

"Hello Buffy." the Brunette said with an attitude her arms crossed in front of her purple low cut top and her eyes looking at her with a deep look. Her black skirt revealed long legs and high heels.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Buffy asked her younger sister.

"Oh you know each other then.That's nice."

"I'm here to do business. What else." Dawn answered her sister like she was dumb.

"She's my sister. My younger sister." she shouted at Adam then she turned back to Dawn." You are not doing business here.You're going home. Now!"

"You can't tell me what to do. I'm staying. I have my own life now and I'll do as I please."

"You are still my sister and..."

"No I'm not. You gave that up when you left me and mom 3 years ago!" Dawn shouted and then shook her head in disgust.

Buffy was hurt, her eyes went blank and her throat dry.

"I'm not a child anymore. I'm 18 and I'm doing this job for Adam so that I can live my life like I want to. Now you either get over it or I suggest you find some other...thing to steal."

Buffy stepped up to her sister and looked into her eyes. She spoke harsh.

"You do not want to get involved with this. Trust me..."

"Trust you. I don't trust thieves."

"Well what do you think you'll be doing for him?" she nodded her head towards Adam who was sitting there like fights like these where usual for him. They probably where.

"Do you really think I'd stoop as low as you? I won't be doing the stealing. I'll be helping out in the getting info part."

Buffy's eyes widened." No.You can't make her do this! Anything but this." she said looking at Adam who just shrugged.

"Why not? Do you think I don't know what I'm doing? I will do anything to get that information out of...what was his name?"

"Spike." Buffy whispered her hand covering her mouth.
