Dean shook his head. "This is nuts. Just, the most nuts place I ever ended up in and believe me, that's saying something."
The Spike that he knew was someone he'd developed a respect for. The Spike he knew was on their side. But this one was almost a stranger. Should he tell him about Vikki? That was the million dollar question.
On impulse, he decided against telling him the whole truth. He wouldn't lie, he would just miss some things out.
"She was someone I should've left alone. But I couldn't. And I gotta find her. She can look after herself - she's a slayer - but who knows what could happen to her here. She might not even know me."
That was a thought that chilled him but once he supposed he had to face. He vaguely remembered saying to Bobby that none of them ever caught a break, and this was sure proof of that. He tried not to look as devastated as he felt but wasn't sure that he was even close to pulling it off.
