Spike ran his fingers through his locks, it felt weird not having it gelled back but he noticed that a couple of late night goers were staring him with the same lust as before.

Yep, I still got it!

It was hard at first to convince the girl at the barber shop to come down to do a late hair cut and he promised to pay the girls' price of a thousand dollars. He knew she was being sarcastic but hey, he needed the job done. When she arrived she a little skeptical but he put on his famous charm and she melted. But when he sat in front of the mirror she freaked out a little bit by the lack of image.

So, he flashed his vampire face and got a free hair cut. Sometimes it was still good to be a vampire.

He found out the address from a local source, namely a strip club located outside of town where he was told to go by a Bronze bartender, Mei or something. She said his brother would be at Acid Roses. The boy was a bloody horn dog. That would be fantastic to tell Buffy but judging the reaction he got from telling on Riley he doubted he'd get rewarded.

So he rode his newly stolen bike to the place and entered. First he was bombarded by half naked whores a few demons, interesting. He waved one of the girls who were fully dressed.

"Hello, I'm Raven welcome to Acid Roses, the place where your kinky dreams come true." She said and judging by the tone it sounded routine and she'd said it over a million times.

"Hello-," Spike started but was cut off.

"Wait, you're that guy who asked me for my number, I told you I'm seeing someone, SECURITY!" she screamed. Well, Spike was obviously in the right place.

"Love that was my- brother, twin if you will, I'm just trying to get some information about what he's been doing lately. You wouldn't be able to help me with that now would you?" He tilted his head and gave her the sexy stare down. Her eyes narrowed and looked him over once more.

I should've kept my hair it was sexier.

"He came by here the other night bragging about coming from New York, all I could think was why would he come here? He flirted with me and asked why I was dressed, and then he offered to help me with it. I refused, he got touchy I had him kicked out. That's all I know." She paused, "Is he a pimp or something?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know?" Spike asked. "I mean that's what I'm trying to find out." He fibbed, well what do expect he WAS evil.

"He left with two regulars on the way out; they come in every night since this is a bi club. They haven't shown up since that night." She said this quietly as he looked over he saw her obvious boss getting angry with her. "Does that help?"

"More than you know pet, thank you." He smirked at the new information that could likely be useful, that's why he loved bartenders, save Willy, they were a bundle of information and advice. Spike stepped off the stool ready to go shopping, joy.

"Do you want a drink for the road?" She asked politely, hell it was her job.

"Bloody Mary, thanks." Spike said.

"On the house." She replied.

Buffy mind was racing; she stepped outside and found roses. They had to be from Michael. How sweet was that? He even wrote a poem for her. It was bad but sweet. She was falling hard for a beautiful stranger.
