(no subject)
I tried to go by Spike's crypt last night. I've felt this strange need to confess about Antonio to someone and I think telling him would be the safest. After all, he has kept his word all this time about not telling anyone that I slept with Angelus last year. Besides, I think he would understand that it was an accident and not judge me for it. He's killed many humans in his lifetime, too.
When I got up to the door, I heard voices coming from inside. I was about to knock, but I recognized it as Riley's voice and not one of Spike's television programs. I was going to barge in because I don't trust Riley alone with Spike, but then I heard him telling Spike about vampires targetting tourists in hotels recently. Which means Antonio. I knew it was on the news as a murder victim with the usual suspects being gang members, but I didn't think Riley would be investigating it. I expect Buffy to have Willow hack into the coroner's computer and possibly try to stake him in the morgue before they ship his body back to Italy, but that should've been the end of it.
Except now Riley's looking into it, too. I'm sure I have nothing to worry about, it's not like Riley's that smart anyway. I also overheard him offering to pay Spike to look into it for him, too. Once Spike knows what really happened, maybe he'll be willing to tell Riley he found the vamps that did it and staked them. I just have to get to Spike before he gets out for the evening, so I'm closing the shop early and going over before the sun sets. Maybe then I'll feel better about this and the annoying desire to confess will go away.
