CHAPTER 13

- Andrew ! Xander said aloud.

Andrew turned on him. Nobody would have thought about him in here, digging into Buffy's stuff. That was unbelievable.

- Hi guys, he said a bit embarrassed.

- But what the hell are you doing here ? Xander asked.

- Um, nothing… I was just searching for something I lost.

- In Buffy's room ?! Willow said looking at him.

- Yeah.

- You're such a bad liar ! Spike said.

Spike looked at Buffy's table next to her bed and saw the drawer slightly opened. « Well did I forget to shut it entirely ? he thought.

- What are you… but you have something in your hand, Xander noticed looking at Andrew's crossed arms.

Everybody looked at his arms and there was something he was trying to hide.

- Buffy's diary, Spike said though it wasn't really visible.

- How can you know that Spike ? Dawn asked.

- The drawer from her table is opened, he said.

- So what ? Xander said giving a glance at the table.

Andrew showed Buffy's diary to them and everyone was surprised to notice that Spike was right because they couldn't see what Andrew had in his hands.

- SPIKE !!! Xander yelled.

- What ?

- How did you know that ?

- Um, I guessed, he stupidly answered.

- Yeah I believe you ! Or maybe you took a big look with your infra-red eyes ? Xander said making fun of Spike.

- Why not !

- Admit you read her diary when you were alone in this house ?

- No. Not at all. I would never do that !

- Of course not ! Xander said.

- Spike, Dawn said, you were reading a magazine earlier about what women love and you were also looking at them in underwear so… !

- What ? You're not ashamed Spike ? Xander asked.

- Thanks Dawn ! Spike replied.

- You're welcome Spike. Also, you were in Buffy's room when I came back from school. Remember I saw you upstairs !

- You're really disgusting, Willow said sighing.

Spike wanted everybody to talk about something else. Andrew was still there in front of them with Buffy's diary in his hands. They entered the room and put the diary back in its place. Then they all went downstairs and attached Andrew at a chair.

- What are you doing to me ? Andrew asked.

- You'll be our hostage, Xander said.

- But why ?

- Because that way you will tell us everything about why you were here.

Spike meanly glanced at Andrew.

- Why did you do that to Buffy ?

- What ? Andrew asked.

- shoot her.

- Is she dead ? he asked.

- So you have something to do with this ? Xander asked.

- Warren made me do it ! He had the idea but I'm not the shooter. He shot her but he didn't want to. It was an accident. He didn't want to kill the slayer !

- Tell me she's not dead please, he said scared.

- No she didn't die, Willow replied.

- Thank gosh, Andrew said relieved.

- I can tell you how lucky you should be that she didn't die cause if she did, Willow said, I would…

Willow's eyes became black with anger as if she was going to be Dark Willow again.

Buffy's friends were all on their knees when they discovered the three people who were responsible for what happened to Buffy. At least they were sure of that, otherwise Andrew would have been digging into Buffy's stuff. Now they knew it for sure. Those guys were responsible for everything that happened today and Warren shot Buffy and almost killed her.

- Where's Buffy ? Dawn asked again.

- I told you she wasn't at the hospital anymore but we don't know where she is, Willow sadly answered.

- I know where she is. It's so obvious I wonder why I didn't think about it before, Xander said.

- Oh Yeah ? Dawn said. You know where my sister is ?

- Yeah, I'm almost certain I know where she's gone, Xander answered.

Everyone was looking at him waiting for his answer
