Uh, that was too good to be true. I knew that the Riley mess was going to turn out to be much bigger than that. Unless they are just letting their imaginations get the best of them and all those theories about what's what are much worse than the reality. But I don't think so. This is Sunnyhell, where things rarely turn out the way you want them, right? 

Now the main question, I suppose, is whether this organization Riley is a part of, that's watching the gang and trading demons, is "official" or not. Judging by the Initiative arc, it seems that the US government and US military in Buffyverse are pretty much a bunch of ruthless, narrow-minded, trigger-happy fascists, but the whole framing Spike business looked a bit too private for me to be a part of a sanctioned secret military operation. So I'm thinking some kind of a crime syndicate? Or maybe whatever was left of Initiative went underground (metaphorically this time ;) )? I can't really see the actual Initiative being officially resurrected after the complete disaster it turned out to be, especially not in a way that would let them follow the same path (or even a more radical one). Eh, guess we'll see. :)

I am so glad he talked to her.
Buffy is finally learning how to deal with him.

Thanks again.

That's so much to process but Buffy's right all they can do is try not to let it effect them. I hate that Spike feels so helpless. Emotional chapter, excellent read, thanks.
Yep, I think it's safe to say that they'll never have a quiet life, but at least thay have each other to lean on when the trouble hits. Glad you liked it.

Thanks, honey!

wow...i'm so hoping that this whole worrying of spike is not a sign of bad things to come...cant wait to see buffy meet lily... great chapter :)
Thanks!

I think Spike's worries are not unjustified. As for Lily and Buffy, you should have seen it all by now.

Oh no! I am tied up in knots about the whole Dawn/Key issue. I just know this is going to turn out bad. This is so engrossing and captivating! Absoluly stunning updated chapter!
I just know this is going to turn out bad.

Yep, The Initiative are not the sort of people you want knowing about The Key but it looks like it's too late to do anything about it.

Thanks!
