Thanks to Hannah, Anon, and Emma. Geeze, Louise! Didn�t know it�s been like a month� Sorry about that. My fiction writing class is very demanding, and my writing efforts have been elsewhere� but hopefully this update will make up for it. Hopefully, another one will be out in a couple of days.
5:34 p.m.

Xander was having a horrible nightmare. He thought he was back in his parents� house, where there seemed to be endless yelling and arguing. Just as he was about to pull a pillow over his ears, he heard a man�s voice yell Willow�s name. That was what pulled him from his slumber. Willow. She needed him. As he became more awake and alert, he realized that the man who was yelling his wife�s name was Spike. Quickly putting on his boxers, he quickly stumbled out of his room.

�� don�t sodden believe you. Start callin� all the lil soccer mom�s you know. Maybe one of them gave her a ride or something� Call me as soon as you hear anything.� Spike barked out to a weeping Willow. Well, sobbing would be more accurate.

�What the hell is going on?� Xander asked as he went to Willow, completely confused as to what was going on in his own home. Spike proceeded to walk out the front door.

�Ask your incompetent wife.� Spike�s retreating form sneered. He slammed the front door in his wake. Xander turned to look at a red faced, tear streaked Willow.

�Incompetent?� He asked, completely bewildered. Willow was one of the most, no, the most responsible person he had ever known in his entire life. This just wasn�t making any sense.

�Willow, what�s going on?�

�I- I forgot.�

�Forgot what?�

�Dawn!� She yelled before bursting into tears again, grabbing a hold of him.

�Dawn? You forgot about Dawn?!� Xander asked, his tone going a pitch or two higher than it normally was. Realization gripped him suddenly.

�Well, I didn�t mean too! I would never on purpose- oh god! The phone calls! I gotta call the other parents. See if they picked her up�� she trailed off before grabbing the cordless. Knowing that she was much too flustered to speak clearly, he walked over and gently took the phone from her trembling fingers. He asked for the first number. Willow gave it to him with a sad, but grateful smile. She felt comforted knowing that he was there. As Willow was being comforted, alone, Spike was on the verge of hysterics.

While repeating the mantra �Just breathe,� he sped down the streets like a madman. Sweat profusely building upon his brow, he pulled out his cell phone and called the police. As he stumbled through the conversation, he wasn�t quite sure what was said, or if it could even help. Somehow, he managed to get some sort of general information out, before hanging up. Looking on his recently received calls list, he instantly dialed Angel. For that particular conversation, he somehow managed to sound calm and indifferent. He thought someone competent should know what was going on.

As soon as he got to the school and saw that it was deserted, he promptly vomited on the black top.

�Oh god, please. Please let her be alright. Please, please�� He whispered, hunched over and hands braced on his knees. Hoping that maybe somehow she managed to get home, he got back into his car, breaking the speed limits once again all the way to his home.

�Dawn! Dawn, are you there?!� He yelled, running around the house checking all the rooms. There was no sign that she�d been there. Finally ending up in her room, he leaned against the door jamb, looking at her frilly, pink bed spread and boy band posters. Stuffed animals, toys, books� All the stuff she had in it, and it felt nothing but empty to him.

�No, no, no. This can�t- this can�t be happening. Oh Dawnie, where are you luv. Please, let me find my little girl. She�s everything to me.� He sobbed to himself. He was losing it, and he knew it. He just couldn�t help himself. Every horrible thought imaginable of what could have happened to her shot through his mind like a poison. He never felt so weak in helpless before in his life. He needed strength. He needed his father. With even shakier hands than before, he pulled out his cell phone again. Not being able to think clearly enough to recall the number, he scrolled down his phone book to the letter D. The phone rang four times, seemingly an eternity to Spike, before the older man answered.

�Giles here. Who�s calling?�

�Dad?� When his son said his name like that, a low whisper and sounding very scared and vulnerable, Giles feared the worst.

�Oh god. Is everything alright? Is it Wesley?�

�What? No. No it�s not- it�s Dawn.�

�Dawn?� He asked, clearly perplexed.

�She�s missing. I can�t find-�

�Bloody hell, William. She isn�t missing. She�s right here with me and Anya, baking cookies.�

�She�s what?�

�Yeah, been here little over an hour. Sorry for the terrible scare, we should have called. Evidently, Willow forgot to pick her up, and she got a ride here.� Spike gave a long, hysterical laugh at that.

�She�s alright? Dawnie�s okay? Really?�

�Yes, William. She�s fine.� He said in his comforting, father voice.

�I�ll be right over.�

�Alright son. We�ll be here.�

�Dad?�

�Yes?�

�I love you, you know.� He said with a sniffle.

�Love you too, William.�
