*sniff, sniff* poor, poor Spike! being stuck in jail on Christmas. the gift exchange was so cute. and Buffy's reaction to Spike liking the game boy was adorable. i'm nervous about Buffy's plan. she doesn't know anything about these people or what kind of circles they socialize in. she may be required to do things that are reprehensible to get close enough to them. if it were me, i would hire a private detective first and get as much info on them and their social circles as possible. maybe the P.I. can even get some intel on their past, who they trusted, who might they have told about killing Dru, who might have even more dirt on them that she can use. if they could commit murder once and get away with it, there is a 90% chance that there is some serious criminal activity in their past. if she could get that info, take what info Spike has given to her, put it all together to show a pattern of behavior and convince an Assistant D.A. to look at it she might have a shot. just a thought. my mind runs away with me sometimes. i really like the direction this story is going, and i really like all the sister interaction. those scenes really showcase the caring soul that Buffy has, even if she is a little naive. wonderful chapter again! you outdid yourself today Isabel!

Wonderful surprise update! And this is a great story, take your time with the ups and downs, it makes the outcome more rewarding :-) Happy Holidays!
