There was a lot to be said for having a cease-fire with the Slayer crowd. For one thing, you could gather a lot of information when nobody was trying to jam a two-by-four between your ribs. And the word on the street ... on this street, anyway ... always brought something interesting to someone who paid attention.

Spike crushed out his cigarette and got a look around the street. It was quiet tonight. Most of what was going on, went on indoors, and it seemed like most of the people who were going about there business were already where they wanted to be.

One young woman, though, about whom he'd heard some interesting stories lately, he hadn't seen yet. And the chances of his finding her alone, or nearly so, seemed good tonight.

"It's time," he said aloud, to nobody in particular. Nobody at all, as he was alone, perched on the edge of the roof of the building that housed his bar. "Time to fix what went wrong. Not long now, pet ... you're probably expecting me."

He smirked and raised a fresh cigarette to his lips.
