Notes: Takes place after Buffy beats the crap out of Spike in Ep#113 "Dead Things."
Walking by the police station, Clem hurried homeward to beat the sunrise. His head was suddenly pulled toward the alley by the strong scent of blood. A friend's blood.

As he tended Spike in his crypt that day, he realized that his injuries were so serious that he might not recover without some special help. Expression resolved, he went hunting behind the Espresso Pump. Spike needed blood, and animal blood wasn't good enough. The caffeine was a bonus, he thought grimly to himself.

After all, he was a demon. People shouldn't be very surprised if he acted like one sometimes.
