Veronica was very uneasy about even being out here, but she wasn't helpless. She didn't think her taser would do much except piss him off, but she could fight very well. The reason he'd gotten her before was because he took her by surprise, that wouldn't happen again. She shook the fear out of herself, she had to, at least for now or Spike was going to win again and Veronica couldn't let that happen.
Of course Spike would do something like bringing a bunch of lackeys to attack the Hyperion while most people were away and Veronica was in charge. Being around him again gave her a sickening feeling, the same she had felt when she was in the elevator with Aaron Echolls, her best friend's killer. "Can't miss what you never had." Veronica told him, defiantly, standing her ground for now.
