Xander stayed with Anya and Spike, more because she was there. He'd also been given one of Wolfwood's pistols, loaded with the special napalm based incendiary ammunition they'd ordered. Spike was pounding on the punching bags in the back. The sun would soon set, he could go search for his love then.
Despite the seriousness of the situation, Vash couldn't resist asking questions about Sunnydale. He'd never seen Earth before in his life, and now was a good time to ask questions... if only to take his mind off things. Giles answered when he could, recognizing the same need for thinking about something else. They still kept their eyes out though. Wolfwood stayed alert and ready to take out his weapon.
While answering, Giles thought to himself about where else they should look. Some wailing as they walked around a corner interrupted his thoughts. What they found, was a blood-drenched sidewalk. With pieces of clothing scattered around. A woman was nearby yelling "They took my husband!"
"What happened?" Asked Giles.
"I was going back into the house for the car keys, and these creatures came over and grabbed him!" She started crying again.
"Did they do that too?" Vash asked, pointing at the blood.
She sniffed. "Some young man tried to stop them. He opened fire with some kind of pistol at the short one in front, and then tried to punch it. That poor man…"
"Which direction did they go in?"
"That way." She pointed the opposite direction from where they'd been heading.

Chakra and his troops had captured about 100 hundred people. While they had been doing that, some of the others had gotten the cattle. A merry feast was had. Chakra yawned. "I'm going to go count beheaded humans, and tickle a spider. Don't eat anyone without inviting me." He walked to his room. Then sat down, and started writing in his diary.
Dear Diary: Today I captured the slayer and her witch. Then I found my teddy bear. It's so cute and cuddly. Love Chakra
Chakra put down his pen, then hopped onto the cow carcass he'd finished making into a bed after nibbling on. He curled up with Riley's head, said "I love you teddy." and went to sleep.

Spike finally had enough of Xander and Anya discussing what they should be doing in bed. "Aren't you even worried about Buffy and Willow?!!"
Xander stopped, and then looked at Spike. "What do you suggest?"
Tara finished the locator spell right about then, figured out where Buffy and Willow were. Then she called Vash. After which, she got together some supplies for herself and told Spike and Xander.
"You want to go with us, Anya?" Asked Xander as he prepared too.
"I'd rather go home for sex. But since you're going out, I'll count the money."
Spike rolled his eyes. Then he grabbed some vampire killing supplies for himself, letting Xander grab the crosses and holy water. They left the shop.

Buffy woke up with a headache, and found herself in a cell with Willow passed out next to her. She walked over to the bars and tried to bend them, no go. Then she noticed many other people in different cells. In addition, a bunch of demons eating what looked to be cattle at a table in the center. The short one about her height got up, talking about counting heads, and something about spiders. Then walked off.
