to 23 were missing.
The Scoobies had been researching for weeks to determine the sudden influx of demons and the missing girls, but to no avail. Giles had looked through hundreds of prophesies in all of his books, but none of those were set to occur in the relative future. Willow surfed the net and chatted online with reliable sources, but she too came up empty handed. Xander and Anya were researching the many demons Buffy had seen during her patrols to see if they would give the Scoobies a lead. Nothing. Buffy tried getting information out of Willie the Snitch, but his lips were sealed so tight that not even Buffy's threat to rip apart his testicles would get him to talk. Something big was going on, but the question was what.

Spike stood outside of Giles's apartment smoking. He had been helping the Slayer and hers for going on three weeks now. <Damn bloody sire, ordering me to help the Slayer while he broods in L.A.> As much as Spike hated Angel, he was still Spike's sire. So when Angel ordered Spike to get his ass back to Sunnydale, he had no choice but to listen. Taking one last drag on his cigarette, Spike tossed it and walked into the apartment.
Buffy looked up as the door opened and saw Spike enter. "Did youget any info Blondie, or are you wasting our time as usual?" "For your information, Slayer, I found out a hell of a lot more in one night than any of you have found in the past couple of weeks. But if you don't want the information I'll just take my leave. Places to go, people to drain." Spiked turned to leave when Giles called out to him. "Spike, wait. Any information you might have is greatly appreciated." Giles took his glasses off and pinched the bridge of his nose as the stress of the past couple of weeks was taking its toll. "Please." Spike nodded, sat down of the couch swinging his legs up onto the coffee table and proceeded to tell everyone what he had learned. "Well, it's like this. I was at this little demon bar not too far outside of town, when I met an old friend of mine, Thomas. We used to have such good times back in those days. We murdered and caused mayhem all over France, along with Dru. Those were great times. Anyway, we got to talking and he mentioned his was on his way to Sunnydale. I asked him why was headin' to the Hellmouth. According to Thomas, the buzz around the demon population is that a high level demon directly from Hell has come to Sunnydale looking for some chit. Apparently the girl has enormous powers, and if he mates with her he will be able to access her powers and create hell on Earth. It's believed that he will become more powerful than Satan himself, and with that he will be able to destroy Heaven as well. This demon fellow will have absolute power provided he finds the chit and makes her his mate. As to why all the demons are coming to Sunnydale, the demon said he would reward those loyal to him and help him find the girl."
Giles was the first to speak after Spike had finished relaying the information. "Good Lord. Do you have any idea who this young woman is?" "Not a clue, mate. That's all the information I got out of Thomas before I dusted the wanker."
"You killed him," Willow spoke. "But I thought you said he was your friend?" "Yeah, well. When he started talking `bout Dru walkin' into the sun and what a loon she was, he quickly became my ex-friend. You got that, Red," he growled in annoyance as his eyes flashed amber. He was still upset over Dru's death and Willow knew better than to push the issue. "Got it. Giles, this would explain the missing girls. The demons are looking for the girl Spike mentioned," Willow said. Giles thought this over and agreed that there was a definite connection.
Anya had listened to Spike's tale carefully. Something about it seemed familiar. "Spike. You said that the demon will be able to access the girl's powers after they are mated?" "That's what Thomas said" "Do you know something," Giles asked. "I'm not sure. It seems familiar. I'll try and remember. In the meantime, we've gotten some info. Come Xander, I want to have orgasms," she exclaimed while grabbing Xander's hand and pulling him out of the apartment. Xander managed to say a quick goodbye before the front door closed.
"What should we do now, Giles," Buffy asked. She was glad that they had finally gotten some information, but if what Spike said was true, then things were bound to get worse. She was very tired. Patrolling these past couple of weeks had been especially hard with all the demons coming to town. Giles looked at his slayer and saw the weariness in her eyes. "I suggest were all go and get some sleep. Tomorrow we need to start looking for this girl and prevent her from mating with the high level demon." "I don't get it. Why can't I just I find this demon and kill it. That's what I do. I kill demons." At this Spike answered with a growl, "Because you would never even make a scratch before he would rip you limb from limb. He's a bloody high level demon from hell, you stupid bint! And as much as I would love to watch him tear you to pieces, I don't quite fancy having hell on Earth. No more happy little meals on legs. Not to mention, that on the demon scale, vampires are at the bottom of the fuckin' ladder. It wouldn't be a great time for me." "I don't get it. I've fought the Master, Angelus, and the evil Mayor,what's so great about a high level demon," Buffy stated. Willow saw the look of murder and frustration in Spike's eye and thought it was time to intervene before he killed her best friend. "High level demons are basically Satan's right hand men. They are extremely strong and powerful. They are the ones who torture the demons and humans who are sent to Hell upon their deaths." Spike looked at Willow and winked. "Always knew you were the smart one, Red." "Um…thanks Spike." With that, Buffy and Willow left for their dorms and Spike went back to his crypt.
