Thank you for the reviews on the previous chapter.Even though it's fun to write this for it's own sake, it's also lovely to know there is someone out there enjoying it as well. Thank you.

Just as a warning, this chapter features Buffy/Other, but it's fleeting. This chapter also features dialogue from 'Surprise' which clearly belongs to Joss etc. I just borrowed it in convenient memory form.

Once again, thank you to the people who reviewed the story. I appreciate your lovely comments.

This part of the story will be told from Spike's perspective. It's the only time this will happen & I think once you'll read it you'll understand why. Be prepared though, this is a dark chapter'. Bad, violent things happen here. But, this is finally rock bottom so things can only go up from here.

Sorry about the delay between chapters but with a death in the family, my partner's birthday, work and a holiday ... I just haven't had a chance to pick up where I left off. Hopefully, there won't be any other drama like this for a long time so that the story can finish without another delay because I've already got another one bumping around in my head and this one needs to be completed first.

On a less personal note, two lines of dialogue are straight from the Season six episode 'Smashed'. Clearly, they don't belong to me but to Joss Whedon, etc.
