That won't be easy indeed. Buffy worried Spike again with the Initiative phrases but how should she have known? And something is wrong with him that they didn't notice yet because he can't read anymore, thinking all the letters look the same.
Hopefully getting access to the other files will help *crosses fingers*
Author's Response: your crossed fingers may well work!!

Poor, poor Spike, God what have they done to him? Please let him trust Buffy and let her be able to help him! And I can't wait for the next chapter, I love this story.
Author's Response: Thanks Pet!!

they have compltly broken him, poor spike, for a well educated man not even to be able to read and write any more:(
brilliantly written as usual, sad that Buffy keeps making mistakes
looking forward to more
Author's Response: Thanks for saying brilliantly written :) *huge grin*

make it better, Mabel! waiting is suffering.
update, please! :-p
Author's Response: Will update as quickly as I can, my poor beta is working her fingers to the bone!!

Hah.. Spike has his duster back and Giles nicked a remote control. Good so far.
I hope enough blood will give Spike his ability to talk back. And Spike better won't have a device (or the chip works as one) to track him down. I'll cross my fingers for Willow being successful very soon.
Author's Response: No tracking devices!! Phew! Had to give the boy back his duster!! Too cruel otherwise!

So both Giles and Buffy know now that this is Spike for sure. But Spike showed no sign of recognition her (to know Buffy). In a way it was Buffy's fault that Spike is back with the Initiative; Spike was too drunk to fight (I know, Spike's decision to drink or not).
Good plan to get Willow turn the chip off. Who knows if Maggie won't be able to activate it when Spike is gone (to have him do something even if it is only to go back).
I hope their plan will work; seems as if Spike indeed forgot about Buffy like being deprogrammed. But him touching a knot I see as a good sign.
Author's Response: there's still some Spike in there!! ans where there's Spike there will eventually be Buffy!!! :)

Mmmm Maggie made Spike a killing machine now. I wonder how deep that is programmed in him or if he can fight that order later.
I'm glad to see neither Giles nor Buffy liked the way Maggie treats the demons. And Spike... I wonder if Buffy can do something to get him out. But then they should seek a way to get the chip out too (Maggie won't like that). (The title is from Universal Soldier, right?)
Author's Response: Yep. That's where it's from, got it from a line I gave Xander!!

*waves hi* I've checked the comments this time after I didn't see a warning and read no xx/other. That kept me from reading FotN (I couldn't stand Helen) and D (Spike going bad/back to Drusilla). Seems to be save for me to read this one, huh? ;-)
I wonder why Spike went away / if he has been there (Initiative) the whole year he since he went away. *reads on* Ah yes, he had the luck to fall in the hands of the Initiative a year ago. Sadly I have to say neat chips they have now. Spike went through a lot, still does. Maybe that has changed him already.
Author's Response: Hi!! Wow! You sure do review!! Thanks for taking the time!! No one is with who they shouldn't be! Even got rid of Riley!!

Date: 10/05/2007 - 07:37 pm Title: Stolen
still lovin it-and glad he has been rescued, still a long way to go though
Author's Response: Oh yeah!! You're not wrong!! Thanks for taking time to review. :)

Date: 10/05/2007 - 05:01 pm Title: Stolen
Oh thank goodness they've got him out. Looking forward to Spike recovering and then them taking on the Initiative. If they recaptured Spike the day Buffy broke up with thim (As you were) does that mean Riley was behind him being recaptured, or is your timeline different? More please.
Author's Response: No I've put it that Riley had gone before Spike and Buffy had their season six affaire! Didn't want to write for Riley!! just got him out of the way!

Date: 10/05/2007 - 02:32 pm Title: Stolen

Author's Response: Thanks so much, next few chapters are with my beta, Carol, as soon as I get them back they'll be on!!

Well, Mabel, you've done it again. Could barely stmach the torture part, so glad he's out of there. Xander feeling bad about what was being done to him was a refreshing change. Looking forward to next update.
Author's Response: Thanks for that jt, it always amazes me when people want to read my stuff. Very new to it. Started FOTN in Aug, now on my fourth!!

Date: 10/05/2007 - 11:25 am Title: Stolen
Mabel, good to have back writing. Loving the story!
Author's Response: Was nearly scared off SR after being roasted for FOTN but decided I'm a big enough girl to take it so here I am again!! LOL. Thanks for taking time to review. Really keeps me writing!!

Date: 10/05/2007 - 11:04 am Title: Stolen
I wonder how fast maggie can run, because she is going to need superhuman strength to escape Buffy. Hated what the initiative did but love the story
looking forward to more
Author's Response: Thanks! Really appreciate it!

Date: 10/05/2007 - 11:02 am Title: Stolen
Wow! This is really an intense story. And thank you, thank you for not leaving him with those monsters too long into the story--reading endless descriptions of mistreatment (I mean chapter after chapter of it and not what you've done as an introduction to the rest of the story) is pretty brutal so I thank you for that. How sad for all of them and how great that they got him out of there. I love that you update so often and look forward to reading more!
Author's Response: Cheers Cutiepie! Getting lovely reviews keeps me going!!

Date: 10/05/2007 - 10:34 am Title: Number Seventeen
please go on. can`t wait to see the initiative-wankers go down. :-p
Author's Response: other chapters currently getting the treatment of my beta!! Will update as quickly as possible!

Date: 10/05/2007 - 09:18 am Title: Number Seventeen
I just read the 3 chapters you've posted so far, and I have to say I'm hooked. Poor Spike, I really hope Buffy will get him out of there soon. I can't wait for the next chapter, so please update again soon! :)
Author's Response: Your wish is my command!! Thanks for the review! Much appreciated! Keeps me motivated! :)

Date: 10/05/2007 - 06:52 am Title: Number Seventeen
OMG Mabel, I can't wait til he's out of there. Maybe when I get home from tonite u will have posted more , I have a feeling this fic is completed, Either that or u write really fast , but I like lots.
Author's Response: i do write really quick! Kind of like how I talk! LOL It's not totally finished, I'm about five chapters in front of you! Normally don't post until finished but kept getting side tracked by reading The Dresden Files so doing this to give myself a kick up the butt!! Will post as quickly as I can!
