This is an intriguing start. Is Angel taking Spike under his wing in order to pimp him out? I'm as anxious as Spike is. The mysterious back story between Angel and Darla has already ramped up the tension, and I can see throwing Spike into the mix is going to be entertaining.

I laughed out loud at: "Now that she didn't have the gun, and had turned the crazy from a ten down to a mere two, Spike decided there wasn't anything so intimidating about her."

This, too: "Don't you want to be the best bitch you can be?"

"Wouldn't want to put you out of a job," Spike retorted."

I'm looking forward to wherever this is going. Do you mind if I friend you to keep up?
