The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, February 14

[veronyxk84]

GILES: Oh, there you are.
JENNY: There who is?
GILES: Our new friend Spike. He's known as 'William the Bloody'. Earned his nickname by torturing his victims with railroad spikes. Very pleasant. Well, here's some good news: he's barely two hundred. He's not even as old as Angel is. (frowns) Oh.
XANDER: That's a bad look, right?
GILES: I think your suggestion of running away this Saturday might've been a good one. Spike has fought two Slayers in the last century, and... he's killed them both.
