Very curious about that, I hope it comes out at some point. Didn't they know what he was working on. Ethan Rayen's? This mystery justs keeps getting bigger and bigger. Somehow I've got the feeling that Angelus is up to something since he's still keeping some kind of tabs on him. Another great chapter, thanks.

Author's Response: Don't you like to know how your family is doing? Nothing sinister about that at all. And yeah, I think a little too much is what is going on which is why pulling it all together is getting harder and harder - too many balls in the air that need to drop at the right time.

I feel sooo much better about this chapter. It kinda worried me that she didn't feel at all bad about the fingerprints, etc. It didn't seem like it was true to her character. But it is much more clear in this chapter. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Glad you felt it helped the story. I considered jsut dropping it, because it didn't really move the plot along much, but I'm glad I didn't.

Great chapter, I love that Buffy's so open with Willow about her relationship and job and all that stuff, because sometimes she shuts down on her friends. I'm liking this so far, and I still don't know what to think. I hope that Spike is all innocent, but the way you're writing it is convincing me that he was involved in something or a few somethings really bad. Please update again soon, I need to find out what happens!

Author's Response: Well, yes, even though we love him, the Spike from canon was hardly innocent. But we forgive him anyway, because he's not like that now, plus he's really hot. Please stay with me to see how this works out and how this Buffy deals with it.
