Let's hope Buffy really does want what she says she doesn't. Spot on with that characterization by the way

Oh dear.... Poor Buffy's in for another world of pain, isn't she? They're going to be saddling up in and out of that place for rescue missions *again*! :)

Lovely update. And go Darian with the insight. Buffy's reaction rings so true - and Spike's remaining violent streak is so true to how he would have been at that time. Really enjoying this (even if I am too lazy to review every time).

Excellant story I am really enjoying this. You are an excellent writer and I cannot wait for the next update. I so hope that Buffy wakes up and realizes that there are some lines that shouldn't be crossed and it doesn't matter if the victim is a vampire or a human. I want to smack Xander he is so stupid!

Thanks - you're spoiling us! A decent sleep may help our heroine see the light but I'm afraid there's no hope for Xander!

Gosh and golly, two chappies in one day--I may have a heart attack! Awesome update, and more is a blessing...thanks so much....

Whoredova may be able to figure out that Buffy was involved with the escape. That could give Buffy the chance to get first hand understanding about what Spike, Darian and Diana went through. She is still being pretty stupid.

I love Darian... he's so sweet, and insightful! I am glad he was able to make Spike feel a little beter. It occurs to me that Xander's little tirade may have had completely the opposite result to that which he wanted, and actually be the last little piece in the puzzle that will help Buffy realise that what Spike and Diana did was completely justified and NOT just because they were vampires and unable to help themselves. And oh boy... the shit is going to hit the fan when the General sees those tapes!

I was wondering about survelliance tapes and such, esp. with all that's been going on in Spike's quarters. Foolish of them not to consider that the rooms might be bugged. I wonder what they'll show?
