Riley is truly far more sadistic then I even imagined. I knew he was evil but deliberately torturing someone to such a painful death, making it last for hours, is sickening. I really hope he gets even a portion of the pain he's caused other back.
yep, riley's pretty sadistic...he's gonna pay for his crimes, i promise :)

Oh my goddess! Poor Poor Julian. I am so mad at riley I could throw him to starving vampires. *growls* great update sweetie!
that would work :)

JL - You've raised a lot of interesting questions about the whole chip thing. What was the Initiative chipping vampires for in the first place and why was Spike the only one we ever see. And, of course, the whole remote control issue.

And who says Aaron can be trusted????
thanx so much...yeah, i really think the initiative could have been made out to be much more sinister even than it was in the show :) thanx for the review

Cliffie again... Can't I just wish for it to be Buffy calling from that control room she found? please?

Another amazing Giles Julian talk, impressing! Loved Giles' joke too *lol* very Giles-y :D

Great chap, looking forward to more
thanx for the great review glad you liked the joke :)

Oh, how awful!  *kick, kick, kicks Riley*  Ooooh, I hope somebody turns and chips him!  Sadistic creep!  I hate him!  Which, of course, means that you are doing an excellent job!  Can't wait until your next update!
he would deserve it, wouldn't he? :) thanx for the review :)

Yay logic Willow (and pets poor worried Mara).

I feel so very bad for Julian. What courage! Just had the thought though that Spike's chip might be triggered by remote as well...gaaaahhhh.

This is such an excellent story and each chapter delivers on story...no slack time.

I am a genuine fan of your writing (having read all you've posted finally)...you have a rare gift that puts you in the category of excellence for storytelling, originality and character voice. Just keep it coming.

Another good chapter. What is so magical about tonight? It is quite clear that Riley can kill Spike anytime he wants. Very interesting.

I just wanted to say that Shadow's review was funny as hell! And I totally agree!
Hey Shadow...you get the electricity and I'll start the water!
sounds like a good idea to me :)

I knew RIley had to have some way to kill him if he didn't do it
Maybe he can say he did just to spare some time, and Willow can do a major glamour that shows them all dead....but then again, what about Buffy and Spike??
they'll figure out something :)

Riley needs to have HIS head smacked with a hammer and electric current applied to his balls... while he's standing in water.

Kill the SOB already!

Great Chapter btw. MORE!
lol...go right ahead, be my guest, he deserves it :)

I really, really hope, they´re so intelligent that they lie to Rilley telling him that Gile´s dead or something...so they have more time to find a way to deactivate the chip...!!!!
Great chapter. Very informative.
that might work...except for a little detail to be revealed next chappie :) thanx for the review
