Ohhh... I wasn't expecting that. Wow Spike's gone all primeval, without the beer. I hope Fred's safe,  I know Spike would feel terrible if anything happened to her. Great update, looking forward to more.

I just got caught up in reading.  Wow...You certainly write intense brilliantly.
Quite the cliffie you've left us with.

excellent piece of writing, the tension and suspense built up so well that I wanted more but I can wait in anticipation for the next chapter.
