Birthday & Asylum drabble (1/4).

[elisi]

Happy Birthday diachrony!!! Hope you have a fabulous day! :)

And it just so happens that I'm in the process of fine-polishing my 'Asylum' ficlets, so you get the first one as a birthday fic. Only a drabble, and rather downbeat I'm afraid, but I hope you like it.

(Notes: This drabble contains spoilers for 'Spike:Asylum'. Also it won't actually make any sort of sense if you haven't read the book...)

Disclaimer: Spike belongs to Joss. Asylum belongs to Brian Lynch. I just like to play with the shiny toys...


2 weeks later

It’s been more than a week since Bonnie and Richard Monaghan heard about the outbreak at Mosaic. Exact details are hard to come by, except of course that Spike was at the centre of it all and has now gone missing. The news left them reeling. Months worth of research, huge sums of money spent to catch their quarry - to put him away for good. Their final gesture for their daughter... and apparently all for nothing.

Then one morning the maid brings them a letter. Inside there is a single piece of paper, bearing only three words.

I’m sorry.
Spike

so you're still one up
*g* This was actually the very first plot bunny that presented itself - what Spike would do with the knowledge that he was the one who killed Ruby once he was free again.

I think I'd assumed at first that they knew exactly what they were sending Spike into, because after all they wanted revenge.
Considering the work they put into finding out everything about Spike's past and what would motivate him, I think they probably found out what really went on at Mosaic. Maybe they talked to former inmates? They certainly had enough money to make it worth them talking.
