Oh goodness what a wild ride. It took me forever to figure out whether the baddy was Giles or Angel... and of course I got it wrong. Excellent story-telling, and of course i'm just dying for a sequel...

Great chapter but I have to make you a question. I have read all your stories and I wonder why do you have a fixation with a weak Spike? Why not buffy? Hey don't get me wrong, I love your fiction but all the stories have the same plot

Author's Response: I just have a thing for hurt/comfort, mainly, and a fixation with *Spike* in general...most of my stories deal with emotional/physical abuse and recovery b/c it's something that is a large factor for me personally, and it shows up in my writing....i'm sorry you think they all tend to have the same plot, though...actually aside from the Spike hurt/comfort angle, they dont have much in common that i can see....and "The Right Thing" isn't even hurt/comfort! oh well... :) hope i sort of answered your question instead of just rambling :) thanx for review :)

I sure didn't have to wait long for another one of you masterpieces. A great start.

great chapter. I can't wait for more

great so far
