Satan sat near Errinn, meditating. He needed to prepare himself for the ritual that was ahead. He sneered at the baby as she cooed and played with her feet as if she new that some how she would be alright. "I'll show you, Parasite," Satan growled. "You and those mettlesome parents of yours. Your power maybe great, but mine is greater!"

The Scoobies sat in the dinning room researching through, it seemed, every book ever written. "This is bloody ridiculous," Spike said, jumping to his feet frustrated. "It's taking to damn long. Whoever kidnapped Errinn could be torturing her. Bugger this Buffy. Lets go out there and beat up every demon we see till he talks," Spike looked at her with pleading eyes.
Buffy felt the same way, and researching was never her forte, so she agreed. Kissing the twins good-bye, Buffy and Spike headed to Willies.
"Willie, Old Mate, how are you?" asked insincerely, walking up to the bar.
Willie trembled at the look in Spike's and the slayer's eyes. "You know same old, same old. You Spike? Slayer?" Willie asked surprising himself at how calm his voice sounded.
Buffy got up real close to Willie and replied, "Not so good, Willie. You see someone came into my home and took my kid, Willie. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that now, would you Willie?"
"Nnnot a thing Slayer," Willie began to visibly shake with fear. "If I eeever heard a thing lllike that I wwwould tell you right away."
Unfortunately for Spike's nerves, he believed Willie. He pulled Buffy closer as she gave a defeated sigh. "I believe you, Mate," Spike said as he and Buffy turned to leave.
It crushed Willies heart to see the heroes in such a state. "Spike wait up a second," Willie shouted coming out from behind the bar. Buffy and Spike turned to face him, and Willie's heart broke a little bit more at the tears in Buffy's eyes. "I might know some one who can help you." Spike and Buffy perked up at this. "My sister in law's second cousin is an Agaranic demon; similar to an oracle. He might be willing to help you find the kid."
Buffy let go of Spike and hugged Willie. She apologized for forgetting her strength when Willie let out a strangled moan. "Willie we owe you one." After getting the Agaranic demon's information, they left with a candle of hope lit in their hearts.
Willie watched after them with a longing feeling in his heart. "I hope you find her kid. I hope you find her." Hearing a Polgara order another drink, he turned and went back to work, sending a prayer up to the Powers for the little girl.
