CHICAGO BOUND
CHAPTER 26 - CHICAGO BOUND
After seeing Andrew that day, Buffy had gone home, had dinner, and gone to bed rather early. She was emotionally exhausted from the past couple of days.
"Help me," Spike said.
"I'm trying baby, I'm trying," Buffy said, tears running down her cheeks in her sleep.
Just then the phone rang.
Gasping, as she was jarred out of the dream, she picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Buffy, it's Willow. I got it today, and it worked Buffy, it worked!"
Buffy threw off the covers, sitting up, her heart in her throat, "It worked?"
"Yeah, clear as a bell, must be like you said, Spike's essence merged with yours, because I got a clear read on where he is. And Buffy, this ‘read’ is for an alive, human Spike!"
Buffy's throat had suddenly gone dry, all that she'd never, ever dreamed possible, was all of a sudden real. Spike. Alive. Spike. Alive. She couldn't make herself speak.
"Buffy? Are you there?"
"Uh-huh," she whispered.
"He's in Chicago, Buffy. Just like you suspected. The amulet must have been there, somewhere in the city, after all," Willow said.
"Chicago?"
"Yes, most definitely, yes!"
"Willow," Buffy said.
"What is it Buffy?" her friend asked, knowing that Buffy was most likely in shock.
"I'm scared."
"I know you are, sweetie, but don't worry, he's going to be okay," Willow said, soothingly.
“What do you think he’ll be like?”
“I don’t know Buffy, I think there’s more to the prophecy, but I haven’t been able to get past that firewall yet. I’m working on it.”
"I've got to find him!" Buffy said.
"I know. You will!" Willow said.
They talked a few more minutes then hung up, with Willow promising to come and help Buffy look for Spike, if she wanted or needed her.
Buffy picked up her red phone and dialed Andrew's number.
After about 20 rings, he picked up.
"Hello?" he answered groggily.
"It's me. Spike's in Chicago," Buffy said.
"He is? He's alive?"
"Yes, Willow did a locator spell. He's alive, Andrew. He's in Chicago and he needs my help."
"I'll start looking tomorrow," Andrew said, "check out the local reporters, all that stuff."
"Start now!" Buffy said.
"Buffy! Not going to be able to get anything from anyone if I call them up in the middle of the night," he said firmly, "we're just going to have to wait until morning."
"Okay, you're right. Oh, and Andrew, be discreet, okay? I don’t want…the wrong people knowing we’re looking for him.”
“I know, Buffy, I will be. What are you going to do?” he asked.
“I'm going to Chicago!"
