Spike swilled the remains of his blood around in his mouth for a moment, before swallowing it, and setting his cup down on the coffee table.

Then he turned to Giles and asked, "So Watcher, how long will it take Red to bring Peaches and The Fang Gang back from LA?"

Giles took of his glasses and rubbed his eyes tiredly before replying, "Please, Spike, don't call me that. I'd say they should all be back in about an hour."

Anya, ever the confused and tactless one, asked, "Well, what do we do until then?"

She received no reply.
