Buffy and Spike had ran back to the Initiative as fast as they could. They were both now tired and stressed. They had went back to the same spot that they had escaped from, and tried to open the door. It wouldn't open, so they both pulled at the same time. It flew open like a child's mouth at the sight of Ice Cream. They ran in immediately and realized that they had gotten into a room that was full of tired looking military men. All eyes were on Buffy and Spike.

" They decided to come back." Maggie Walsh smiled, " How nice of them to spare us the trouble."

" We just came by to pick someone up." Buffy said, giving Maggie an even bigger forced smile.

" Get them, but make sure that they are unharmed." Maggie said. Buffy and Spike were very pleased to realize that most of the men didn't have any weapons on them, this meant a much easier fight. Buffy and Spike were throwing punches and kicks and pretty soon most of the men were unconscious, " Get backup." Maggie said to some of the men that were left. They tried to leave but Spike stopped them easily by smashing their heads together. Maggie started to panic when she realized that only she and two other men were still conscious. She pushed her way out of the room, Spike looked at Buffy, Buffy nodded and he went after Maggie. Buffy punched the second to last man, breaking his nose and then kicked him in the gut making him fall back about ten feet. She looked around and tilted her head to the side, confused.

" Wasn't there one more man?" She said, right after she said that, she felt something shock her back and she fell onto the floor immobile. She was tilted around, and scowled at the man, " Guppy Finn."

" Buffy Summers." He mocked.

" What do you want?" Buffy said. She tried to move her hand, " What did you do to me?"

" I just put about 5000 volts of electricity through your veins." He said, " the only moving you'll be making for the next few days is you body twitching."

" Stupid Adult Child of the Corn Freak."

" That hurts my feelings... A lot." Riley joked, " You see this is my payback to you. For embarrassing me in front of her."

" Who. your boss?" Buffy said, " She laughed... Well chuckled actually, but it looked like the stick up her ass was pulled out a few inches when I did that. You should be happy-."

" Don't talk about her like that." Riley said, he threatened to shock her again with the shocker thing.

" Don't talk about her like that. Jeez you act like you love her or-. You do." Buffy smiled, " That's sweet, but in a freaky sort of way. She's like double your age."

" So, your boyfriend is way older than you."

" That's different, boys are always suppose to be older." Buffy said. Riley took a deep breath and pulled her out of the room and into the long rows of cages that vampires were being held in. They all looked at Buffy and Riley drooling. Riley stopped at a cage, pushed in a number and the cage opened. Riley threw Buffy in, and then Buffy realized that it didn't hurt her to be thrown on the ground. Buffy heard Riley shut the door and then he started to talk again.

" This is Michael. He was our first vampire. Hostile number one. He hasn't had a human in over thirty years." Riley smiled, " I hope you keep him hungry."

" I cant eat her, how dare you tease me." Michael yelled.

" She cant feel a thing, so the chip can't and wont go off because your not hurting her." Buffy watched at Michael started to growl and lick his lips. Riley then left the two alone.

" Please don't do this." Buffy said.

" I'm a hungry man."

" Your no man, and if you do this it's only making you that much less than a man."

" Aye, but than I will be happy then."

" I wont, and I think we should both get what we want."

" But you have a death wish."

" A whatta what?"

" You wish for death." He said, " all slayers do."

" A death wish? Now you sound like Spike."

" Spike?" Michael asked.

" Yeah, my vampire boyfriend."

" Spike? The slayer of slayers? William Pratt? Grandchilde of the Scourge of Europe?"

" That'd be him, you know him?" Buffy asked.

" Yes, I was in the Arelius clan with Angelus, Darla, Drusilla, Spike, and Scarlett."

" First Scarlett, now you?"

" What?"

" Oh nothing."

" So your dating him?"

" Yeah."

" That's an odd couple. The slayer and Spike..."

" We've been told that before, I don't care about our differences."

" So how is everyone."

" Who?"

" Angelus and the gang."

" Angel's staked, Darla is dead. Drusilla and Scarlett are missing. And Spike is somewhere in this building.

" I noticed you called him Angel."

" Yeah."

" Tell me about it."

" First can you lift me up so I'm sitting down. It's hard to breath."

" Yes." He said, he lifted Buffy against the wall, " here you go." Buffy took a second to stare at him face. It was very disfigured.

" But first might I ask what happened to your face?"

" Yes, you may." He said, " I was born with this face and I shall die with it as well. I was called a monster through all of my life. Then I came here and it was changed to Hostile number one." Buffy then saw Spike running towards them.

" Buffy?" He called out.

" In here." Buffy said. Spike looked to her and then pulled out the button thing. Ripped a cord and the door cage opened. Spike waited for Buffy to get up, but she didn't.

" You have to pick me up, I'm paralyzed." Spike lifted her up and then looked at the vampire.

" Hi Spike."

" Michael?" Spike asked, " come." The group dashed out of the hallway and ran along a few corridors, aware that anybody could see them and start a fight, but no one was there. They ran out of the Initiative the way they came. When they were a safe distance Spike stopped to tell Buffy something, " Buffy, Giles is dead."

" Spike that's not something to be joking about." Buff said, " Please tell me your joking."
