Backfire - Spander Files

Come on, we’ve been feeling like this for hours. Let’s go somewhere and do this
thing.”
The vampire continued to saunter down the sidewalk, not looking at Xander. “You
say the sweetest things, really.”
“What’s going on? Where are you going?”
“Figured I’d distract myself while you had your little soirée. My invite musta got
lost in the mail, huh?
“That’s what this is about? You upset I didn’t invite you to the party?”
“Don’t give a flying shit about your party. Just got tired of waiting for you. Got
hungry.”
“Hungry?” It was finally at this point that Xander noticed that they weren’t alone in
the night. There was a young blond woman, headphones on, strolling leisurely
ahead of them about half a block. “Oh, fuck.”
“No. Just food.”
“No, no, no, Spike, listen, you don’t have to do-”
“Go back to the factory and wait for me there.”
“No, but, wait-”
“This isn’t your call, Xander. Not tonight.”
“But, you’re not going to kill her, right? Don’t have to kill to feed. You said.”
“Haven’t killed anyone in over a week. Got into a lot of fights, drank a lot of blood,
left a few people in comas, but didn’t kill. But the not killing thing - I’m over it.”
“But why her?”
