all suggestions. 170017
So here I am at W&H, Buffy thought. The evil law firm where Angel and his gang now worked. Although she didn't approve of the job changes she was here on important business. Buffy had found out that an apocalyptic battle was coming really soon. She had found it in a book that weighed a ton and she wasn't too happy about carrying it around. She held her purse around her shoulder and she carried the book by her side as she entered the building.
Angel and Nina sat in Angel's office. We can't see each other in a romantic way anymore. It wouldn't be right if I wasn't entirely focussed on the Fred and Illyria situation, he thought. Now that he had decided this he would have to tell Nina. "Nina we have to talk," Angel said bleakly.
"That doesn't sound good," Nina uttered under her breath. She knew that it would have something to do with their quote on quote relationship.
Buffy walked up the stairs two at a time and walked over to the secretary. She recognized her right away. "Harmony," Buffy vocalized in a questionable tone.
"Hello Buffy, how are you and what can I do you for," Harmony inquired looking up from a pile of papers.
"Um... I'm fine. Can I see Angel," Buffy replied a bit confused. Wondering how Harmony had made her way to Wolfram and Hart. She quickly directed herself back to business.
"Is it important cause I think he's a bit busy right now," Harmony stated in her usual cheery way. Truly in her own world but just a little bit curious from Buffy's sudden appearance. She would though have one good rumor after this.
Buffy reported, "I would like to talk to him a soon as I can but if he's busy I guess I can wait,"
"Okay then I'll check," Harmony said as she beeped into Angel's office.
(On the intercom)"Angel," Harmony asked.
(On the intercom)"Yes, Harmony," Angel answered.
(On the intercom)"Are you busy?" Harmony questioned.
(On the intercom)"Yes I am can it wait till later," Angel replied a bit annoyed.
(On the intercom)"Ya sure later then," Harmony finished traveling off as she turned back to Buffy apologetically.
"Yes I heard, he's busy. I guess it can wait for a bit anyway. Can you just tell him to phone me on my cell? The number is 477-7790," Buffy said hoping that Harmony would remember to tell Angel.
Harmony wrote down the number on a piece of paper in front of her. "Yup sure I'll tell him as soon as I see him."
"Thanks, bye," Buffy finished as Harmony's phone ringed. Buffy didn't know how Harmony had started working for Angel and truthfully she didn't really care. She walked down the stairs and out the doors and straight to her car. She threw her purse on the seat beside her and placed the book in the back seat, beside her backpack. Buffy decided to go get a hotel room. She didn't have anything else to do. Buffy had a whole bunch of just in case money, more then a thousand dollars in cash in her backpack. After she got a hotel she would go shopping. She could just tell Giles that it was a business expense.
"Nina we can't see each other anymore..." Angel said matter-of-factly as Nina cut him off.
"What..." Nina asked softly a bit confused as to this sudden statement.
Angel quickly answered, "Well not romantically anyway."
"Why?" Nina questioned unaware of Fred's problem.
Angel replied, "It isn't you it's just that Fred... You know Fred?"
Nina responded calmly, "Yes."
"She's in a bit of trouble right now and I need to focus on that. It just wouldn't work for us to be... and I don't think it's fair on you to try," Angel said full concern.
"It's not fair to just give up either," Nina said hoping to change Angel's decision after he didn't say anything for a while she went on, "I mean we haven't even tried to work through this. Maybe we would make it. It could make us closer and stronger." She started to stand up for their relationship.
Angel calmly said, "I can't."
Nina got up annoyed and walked out on Angel (his office). She knew that she couldn't say anything to make Angel give them a chance. Then she proceeded to walk right out of Wolfram and Hart.
Angel stood up after her and almost called her back to try to settle things. But he knew that he couldn't. Fred needed his full concentration and he couldn't give that to her if he was with Nina. He walked out of his office and went to see Harmony.
"What was that about?" Harmony asked after noticing Nina storm out.
"Doesn't matter. What was the intercom about?" Angel asked trying to forget about the whole situation.
Buffy was on the highway and she was bored. She had just gotten out of a traffic jam and was heading to a hotel. She drove to an intersection. Good green light maybe my luck is getting better, she thought. So she started to cross. Just then a truck barreled down the road. He didn't stop and smashed right into the passenger's side. Buffy's purse fell out of the car through a hole created in the side and Buffy's head smacked against the window.
Harmony stated nonchalantly as Spike walked up to the two of them, "Well Buffy came by the office. She needed to talk to you."
"Buffy? She was here?" Spike asked a bit shocked. Angel ignored Spike and asked, "Did she say what she needed to talk about?"
"No, I'm not sure but she wanted you to phone her as soon as you could. Here's her number," Harmony said as she handed the piece of paper with the number on it to Angel. Angel walked off to his office with it to use his phone with Spike trailing after him. Angel picked up his phone and tried the number. The phone rang but no one answered it.
"She's not answering?" Spike asked Angel.
"No," Angel responded.
Buffy sat in her car unconscious, silent. An ambulance siren broke the silence and pulled up to the wreck. They eventually got Buffy out and took the book and backpack with them. They didn't notice the ringing phone though.
Angel thought out loud, "I have a bad feeling about this."
"Why, it's not like she never answers her phone?" suggested Spike.
"But she was just here at the office and she knew that I would be calling her. She asked me to." Angel argued with a questionable expression on his face.
"She's probably fine and if she isn't, she can handle herself." Spike said trying not to worry himself.
"Buffy wouldn't have come to LA if it weren't really important though. So whatever it is could have done something to her! I should have talked to her when she came," Angel said clearly taking the opposite road from Spike.
"Well if something did happen to her, it would be your fault," Spike said half joking not wanting to believe that Buffy could be in big trouble.
Angel said annoyed at Spike's humor, "Thanks, that makes me fell so much better."
"Well it's my job," Spike said sarcastically.
