An interesting plan brewing here. Want to know the story on this Father Tom. Who is this mutual contact, and why can Buffy fondle holy things without smoking? Seems like either she's never tried, or this is a new development. Also seems like Spike's Parent/Teacher night went pretty well. Eagerly awaiting more! Update soon!

Author's Response: You will learn more about father tom in the next two chapters. His "mysterious" caller feature as well...I am trying to keep a little mystery as to her identity, but once she is revealed, I think it will cause an "of course" reaction. Until then stay tuned...
