Disclaimer: So, I know that you all know that I don't own any of the characters. They're all Joss's but here's what you don't know. I DO own Faith and Spike. They're mine. MWHAHAHAHA! (Dragged away by two big men in white) No, not again! I don't want any more needles! I'm not insane!

Nailed

Buffy sauntered into Club Infinity (me: in reality, I think that's a club out here in New York) which was located just outside Sunnydale. The smoke from the cigarettes that everyone seemed to be to be smoking fogged her vision temporarily but like all things, she adjusted. This was so not her scene. It was more of a sleazy, corporate executive wind down place. In other words, it was a strip joint.

Buffy watched a woman in a G-string walk by, her boobs covered in whipped cream. ClassyBuffy thought to herself. She looked around for the one person that she was looking for and smiled as she spotted him. She'd recognize that thing anywhere.

Taking a deep breath, she walked semi-seductively over to the man hunched over on at the bar. "Hello Riley" she said letting her voice turn sweet. The fake smile on her face covered the fact that all she wanted to do was kick Riley's ass so hard that…

"Buffy" he seemed a little taken back to see her but quickly covered it up. "Buffy." This time his voice was deeper, more serious. "What brings you here?"

"Oh, nothing. I come here all the time." She took a seat next to him and signaled the bartender over to them.

"You come here?" she nodded. "Here?" she nodded again. "Well, you think you know a person."

"Speaking of people" piped-up Buffy in a neutral tone. "My mom's awake."

"Is she now?" Riley glowered into the cup before him, tightening his grip a little. Not good he thought to himself.

"Yup, awake and safe." The bartender came over to her now and she asked for a coke before turning to Riley once more.

"D-does she remember anything?"

Buffy contemplated answering but instead decided not to go down that path just yet. "So, I got the most interesting note the other day." Riley shifted uncomfortably. "Some lunatic declared that I belonged to him. Isn't that weird? I mean, we're not in the 1800s any more. I belong to no one. Don't you think?" she sipped the drink she had just been given with ease.

Riley's jaw tightened. "Shut up."

Xander sat next to Dawn on the couch arguing about what movie they should put on next. "Come on Dawnie" he whined. "I want to watch Pirates of the Caribbean."

"And I want to watch Ice Princess."

"Pirates of the Caribbean's!"

"Ice Princess!"

"Pirates!"

"Ice!"

"I'll rock paper scissors it for the movie."

"Fine."

"Rock, paper, scissors, and shoot!" they said in unison. Xander's hand was in a paper position while Dawn had out scissors.

"Scissors cuts paper" she informed giddily. "I win."

"You cheated."

"How do you cheat in rock paper scissors?"

"I don't know. I think it's your evil kiditude. It's giving you an unfair advantage."

"That doesn't even make any sense" Dawnie protested.

"It does to me."

"It would."

"What'd I do?" asked Buffy feigning innocence. She took a long sip of her drink.

He leaned into her and she had to fight with herself not to jump backward in disgust. The alcohol was evident on his breath. In a low voice he said, "You know that I trashed you're house and beat up your mom. Stop acting like you don't."

To say he was surprised at her reaction was an understatement. She smiled. "So you admit it? You did that stuff?"

"Buffy…." He paused looking at her oddly. "Are there two of you?"

"Answer the fucking questions Riley!" Buffy cleared her throat in order to the keep her nerves in check.

"What question?"

"Did you do all those things…to me…to my mom…to Spike and Dawn?"

Riley's jaw tightened as well as his grip on his glass. The thought of him breaking the cup was actually a possibility. "Spike?" he spat at her. "Is that all you care about?"

"Just answer the question."

Once again, Riley leaned in this time a smile on his face. "So what if I did? What are you going to do about it."

"She won't do anything" a male voice said from behind them. Buffy grinned.

"Who the fuck are you?" demanded Riley.

The man pulled out a badge. "I'm Officer Douglas and I'd like to bring you in for questing. Come with me Mr. Finn."

Riley looked scared as the officer booked him, putting his hands in handcuffs. Spike sauntered forward just then, his trademark smirk clear on his face. "Oh, and Riley" Spike said pushing Buffy forward lightly. "Buffy has something to tell you."

Riley turned and was met by a full force right hook to his face. Before he could even mutter anything, the officer dragged him away none too gently.

"So, how'd that feel? Putting the bad guy in jail and all that rot?"

"Pretty good." Buffy turned to face him making sure her body was pressed against his. "I still have some energy left…a lot actually." She wagged her eyebrows suggestively.

"Say no more love." And with that, the couple quickly made their way out of the club.

A/N: Okay, I know I'm slim. But the delay in updates isn't completely my fault. I was waiting to get to one hundred reviews but it stayed at ninety-nine for ever. That completely annoyed me. Then, I had my cousin's wedding to deal with. I couldn't get away long enough to type a new chapter mostly because she wanted my opinion on everything. So what if I'm the maid of honor? I'm sixteen and she's twenty something! Geez. (Ally, if you're reading this, I love you.) Anyway, I also had the SATs and…I've just been very busy. (Sigh) It's like midnight right now so please don't be too cruel if this chapter does in fact such. Oh yeah, don't forget to review. I have a little down time and that would really rush me along. There is only about a chapter or two left. Review!
