"Awright."  Spike didn't argue any more.  It was a little...no, a *lot* disappointing that she didn't have any more faith in him than that.  But honestly, after how he'd sold out to Rack in the beginning, how could he expect better?  He had just been trying to assure her.  He knew enough, from his endless talks with Lindsey, about how they worked.  They would have taken Lindsey dragging in bloody as a sign that Spike was resourceful, when in fact it was *Raven* that was.  They would have thought maybe to use him, to keep Angelus out.  Because Spike knew if he and Raven disappeared, eventually the soul would reassert itself.  Angelus would lose.  And Wolfram and Hart would know that too.  But he also knew she was tired of machinations.  That'd all be over as soon as they left here, and went to Africa.  He knew that somehow.  That one way or another, everything would be resolved there.
