        Buffy and the others were ready to spread out and search for the
missing
vampire when he arrived with Willow in tow.

        "Where have you been?" Buffy pounced as soon as they stepped in the
door.

        Spike glared at her. "I was with your best friend." He stated
matter-of-factly. "She was upset and you weren't around. Someone had to
give
her a shoulder to cry on. You all were to busy."

        All eyes landed on Willow's red, tear-stained face, they travelled
down to
her and Spike's entwined fingers. She was clutching him like a security
blanket.

        "Will. What is it?" Buffy asked softly.

        "Oz." She said blankly, staring at the floor. "He's dead."

        The room fell silent.

        The Slayer paused before answering. "I know."
