Chapter 4

Mayor Wilkins was really glad to have Spike on his team. Mr Trick had been a bit of a letdown, but he was taking care of business in another state. And now, Spike had actually brought a slayer into the family. Buffy seemed to be adjusting to her new life as a vampire nicely, and she seemed willing to work for the mayor. Between the three of them, it was a dream team for evil.

"Welcome to the family Buffy."

"Glad to be here. Anyway, we need to move on my old friends soon. I've only been missing a few days, they don't know I'm a vampire yet."

"And how do you propose we take advantage of that?"

"Faith is there strongest fighter, Angel's a close second. I can lure them into a trap, me and Spike take them out."

"I appreciate your enthusiasm. But two things I should probably point out. Your successor as slayer was already chosen, and killed. So Spike killed you without another slayer being called. Faith dies and another slayer could come to Sunnydale."

"Fine, we'll try to knock her out and bring her back here bound and gagged. What's the second thing?"

"First is that Angel and Spike are strong fighters. You might not be te winners."

"I'll risk it. I mean what's the point of living forever if I can't have some fun?"
