SPIKE

KHAN

WHO Spike and Khan
WHERE Pickman
WHEN Mid-evening
WHAT Spike checks in on Khan
Status Ongoing
WARNINGS Very tired Khan. Talking about wars, death, being labrats, ect.

It had been a few days since Spike had heard from his new acquaintance, and although it was curiosity about the super-man that had reminded him of it, it was also a noticeable absense. Just before his shift ended he'd texted the relative stranger, inviting him to meet after he was relieved of duty.

At the end of his shift, however, there was no reply. Shrugging it off and paying his tab he started to walk home. At least it was early enough in the evening he'd get to spend some quality time with Darcey.

Still, as he turned to walk home he hesitated. Something felt... off.

Pausing on the cool street and lighting a cigarette he took his phone out again and opened it, dialing Khan instead of texting this time. He tilted his head and took a long drag before he picked up.

"Hey. It's your favorite undead Englishman," he smirked into the reciever, then exhaled. "Was just curious if you were up for that follow-up drink tonight."

Spike was glad. He'd hoped she'd be willing to take at least a couple shifts, but it seemed that Khan had called in the right person. "I only met him at the Tavern's 'truth night' a few days ago. I had no idea he was smuggling in under-aged guests, even if she did fit in his pocket," he shrugged. "As long as my boss doesn't find out it should be fine, though." And Khan had been worried about the fire-chief. Spike inwardly rolled his eyes at that.

"Do you need anything else before I go? I should probably get home before my Lady starts wondering where I am. And if she tracks me down here we'll never get her away from Karuna. Unless you've got another of those handy sedatives about," he winked.

Christine grinned at that. "Your boss won't hear anything about it from me," she assured Spike. "And I can take it from here. I'll have Khan text you when he's more rested, just for peace of mind. I hope to get him to sleep a solid eight hours, but it may be longer since he's been awake for so long. Augment or not, sleep deprivation is one of those things that will do real damage to your brain if you're not careful. So until he's back to normal, I'm camping out here and watching him and Karuna both."

	Spike smiled and nodded. "You're right about that," he agreed. He thought for a moment, then nodded. "Right. Well, like I said, I'll be by in the morning with some food supplies. If you need anything else, or a hand with anything before then, let me know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course," Christine responded with a smile. "Thank you, Spike. I'll see you in the morning. Khan might be awake by then as well. You could finish your hangout without him being stupid tired." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spike laughed. "Oh, that just made it more interesting tonight," he replied, going to the door. "Goodnight, Miss Chapel. Karuna." He let himself out and closed the door gently behind him. Well, he'd certainly have an interesting story to tell Darcey when he got home, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent)
