Asylum, Part Two

"Spike: Asylum, Part Two" was a comic story based on Spike. It was written by Brian Lynch and edited by Chris Ryall.

Ruby Monahan went missing and her family recruited Spike to track her down. It seems Ruby, a half-demon, checked into the Mosaic Wellness Center, a rehab facility designed to cure the demonic. In an unfortunate turn of events, Spike faced both the Mosaic center, which hoped to cure his vampiric nature, and its clientele, who wanted him dead.

The Story So Far
Richard and Bonnie Monahan, a wealthy Los Angeles couple, hire Spike to find their daughter Ruby in exchange for a hefty fee. The Monahans tell Spike that Ruby is staying at Mosaic, a rehabilitation center that claims to cure vampires, monsters and other assorted creatures of the night. Spike’s Plan? Check into Mosaic, find Ruby, and break out of Mosaic. Only Mosaic doesn’t want him. Oh sure, Spike used to be a threat to the outside world, but he’s reformed, he has a soul, he wouldn’t hurt a fly. Spike proves them wrong by beheading a vampire who’s at Mosaic’s waiting to check in. This prompts Carol, Mosaic’s secretary and former Mosaic patient, to knock Spike out with a powerful spell.

Spike and Carol (who, due to her use of witchcraft has broken her parole) are officially checked into Mosaic. When they arrive, it seems normal enough: a beautiful desert resort complete with tennis courts and swimming pools. But that’s just a glamour: the inside of Mosaic is a veritable jail for the supernatural. Hundreds of monsters kept in cages: all of whom know Spike all too well and all of whom want to be the one who dusts him.

Synopsis
An innocent girl is trapped in a high-security prison for the supernatural. Spike has checked himself in to get her back. But before Spike can even find her, he has to survive his first day. Vampires, werewolf gangs, vengeance demons, invisible men, giant eight-foot slugs...every prisoner wants to be the one who does him in. What began as a rescue mission is now quickly escalating into a battle for self-preservation in Spike's latest adventure.
