Chapter 1
"Hey Angelus, see anyone you like tonight?" asked Spike.
"That girl over there with the blonde hair" said Angelus.
"That's one hell of an outfit she got there" said Spike, admiring her.
She had on a black mini dress with a pair of black strappy heels.
Angelus looked at Spike like he was going to kill him.
"You shouldn't be noticing" said Angelus
"Sorry Angelus, but the girl has got a body to die for" said Spike.
"Remember your wife who is upstairs, maybe I should let her know your looking at another woman" said Angelus, an evil gleam was caught in his eye.
"Angelus you wouldn't" said Spike.
"Wouldn't I" said Angelus.
Spike sighed defeated, Angelus wouldn't do it to him, but in case he was wrong he stopped.
"Why don't you buy her a drink?" asked Spike.
"She doesn't need a drink" said Angelus.
"She doesn't have one in her hand, what's the problem?" asked Spike
"She is too young" said Angelus.
"How the hell do you know?" asked Spike.
"I've seen her before" said Angelus.
Realization hit Spike and he smacked his head.
"That's the girl you were brooding over" asked Spike.
"I wasn't brooding" said Angelus.
"Oh please, you locked yourself in your office for a week. Your mum thought you died" said Spike.
"I did not" said Angelus.
"I now know why you were brooding. She does look hot" said Spike.
"That's enough" said Angelus.
"Sorry man, just damn I didn't know how pretty she was" said Spike.
"I just wish she wasn't so young, I then might act on my feelings" said Angelus.
"Yeah man I wish she was older also, besides how did she get in?" asked Spike.
"I let her in" said Angelus.
"You what!" yelled Spike.
"I let her come in. Besides I watch her every move." said Angelus.
"You know that's considered stalking" said Spike
"I had to know where she was. Spike, she haunts my dreams and I can't have her." said Angelus.
"Well how old is the girl?" asked Spike.
"16, give or take a year" said Angelus.
"She isn't that young. I mean well two more years and she will be legal." said Spike.
"Yeah I just hope I can wait that long" said Angelus.
"Do you know her name?" asked Spike.
"No, but I will find out soon" said Angelus.
"Well good luck to you. I am going to see Faith" said Spike.
"Alright" said Angelus, as he continued staring at the blonde girl, who stood in the corner talking to her friends.
"Buffy, he is looking at you again" said Willow.
"I know Will, this may sound weird, but I can feel his eyes on me, watching my every move" said Buffy.
"I still can't believe how incredibly sexy he is in person" said Cordelia.
"I know" said Willow.
"WILLOW!" said Cordelia and Buffy at the same time.
"What, he is" said Willow.
Both girls nodded and looked at him. His eyes caught Buffy and he smirked and lifted his glass to her and drank. When he finished he slid off his stool and looked as though he was going to come over, but went a different way.
"Uggh, I can't take it anymore." said Buffy.
"What's the matter?" asked Cordelia.
"He is just so perfect and we flirt from across the room and yet we don't act on our feelings"said Buffy.
"Is he what provoked you to buy that outfit?" asked Cordelia.
"Yeah" said Buffy
"Well next time he is at the bar, make a move" said Willow.
"I want to, but his eyes trap me and I feel like I can't move" said Buffy.
"Well look there he is, go make a move" said Cordelia, as she pointed out where Angel was.
"Alright I am" said Buffy, as she mustered up as much courage as she had and went to talk to Angelus.
Out of the corner of his eye Angelus could see the girl, who was in everyone of his dreams, walking towards them and he could not remember what Gunn was telling him.
"Yeah Gunn whatever you say" said Angelus, as he turned just when she was going to tap him on the arm.
"Hi" said Angelus
"Hi, I'm Buffy" she said
"Hello Buffy, this is Gunn" said Angelus, introducing his friend.
"Hi" Buffy said.
"Hello, Angelus now" said Gunn.
"Right, sorry Buffy, but I must leave" said Angelus.
"Okay" said Buffy, hurt sounding in her voice.
"But I should be back" said Angelus, giving her a hopeful look.
"I'll be here" said Buffy.
"Good." said Angelus.
"Give me another drink, Willy" said Hank Summers, from his place on the barstool, in the casino section of the Master's Lair.
"Mr Summers, how wonderful for you to show up. How about you send some water up to my office, as well as a scotch" said Angelus "Angel" Donovan, owner of The Master's Lair.
"Coming right up boss" said Willy, getting a scotch and a water and handing it to Faith, a waitress.
"I don't want a water" said Hank, as he got up and tried to hit Angelus, but missed and fell to the ground.
"Spike help me escort Mr. Summers to my office" asked Angelus, as he looked at the man on the floor.
"Sure thing Angel" said Spike, helping Hank stand up.
Angelus' eyes darkened at the nickname given to him by his mother, but let it slide for now.
Spike Daniels was best friend to Angelus and bouncer at the Master's Lair . They grew up together in fact Angelus introduced him to his wife, Faith.
When Angelus and Spike got Hank to Angelus' office they sat him down on a couch and saw the two drinks placed on a table.
Angelus' office was big with mahogany furniture and black Italian leather couches. There was a book shelf, a desk, and computer in the room. Along with other things that just screamed his dangerous nature.
"Mr. Summers, you have been coming here for how many years now?" asked Angelus as he went to a window and overlooked his "lair:"
He always dreamed of owning something like this, well maybe not with the strip joint, but the casino and club. It was how he envisioned it since he was a little boy. Owing a business was one of his biggest dreams and here he was living out his dream.
The Master's Lair consisted of five levels. The first level was a casino, which also included an entertainment room, to host concerts and other events. The second level was a club, the third level was a VIP room, the fourth level was a strip joint and the fifth level was Angelus' sanctuary. His own private level to host whatever he wanted, whether it was a party, meetings or just to sleep, the fifth level was his and off to any guests, except his family and friends.
The "Lair" was everything he could have hoped for. He just wished his father could see how big of a success he was.
"Three years" said Hank.
"Three years, and in those three years, your payments to me have been a little...well you know out of proportion" said Angelus.
"Look Mr. Donovan I know I owe you money, but I promise one day I will give you the money back" said Hank.
"I have been tolerant of you Mr. Summers for quite a long time only because your wife and my mother knew each other awhile ago and with your wife's passing I let you come in here racking up havoc and debts, now I want my money back and you gone." said Angelus.
"I don't have your money." said Hank.
"I know that and we are going to have to see how I will get it back. All 2 million dollars worth" said Angelus, trying to keep his composer.
"It's not like you need it" whispered Hank, under his breathe.
"WHAT WAS THAT?" asked Angelus, knowing exactly what Hank said.
"I said you don't need it" said Hank, growing defenseless.
Angelus looked at the older man and hit him.
"It is none of your concern on whether or not I need the money. Your concern is where to get the money" said Angelus.
Hank looked Angelus dead in the eyes and saw the younger man seeking blood. He was livid and looked as though ready to kill him.
"What if I made you a deal?" asked Hank.
"No deals Hank" said Angelus, as he walked away from the older man.
"My daughter" said Hank, who pulled out his wallet.
Angelus whipped his head around and looked at the man, who was now holding a picture of the girl, who he know knew as Buffy.
"Buffy, could work here" said Hank.
At her name Angelus' eyes darkened over with passion and lust, but only Spike noticed that.
"How old is your daughter Mr. Summers?" asked Angelus, as he bent his head.
"16, but in a few days turning 17" said Hank.
"I only employ women who are 18" said Angelus.
"I understand that, but I assure you she is very reliable. Plus I know she is good looking" said Hank.
Angelus questioned Hank's motives when he heard him say that, but ignored it for now. He could finally have Buffy, not in the sense of having her, but he would know where she was, what she was doing.
"Alright" said Angelus.
"Really" said Hank.
"I want her in my office tomorrow"said Angelus.
"2 million dollars, means I get her for two years, when she is not at school, she is here, working" said Angelus.
Hank nodded.
"Gunn and Spile escort Mr. Summers out" said Angelus, thinking about what he had just said.
They nodded and took Mr. Summers out.
(What did I get myself into) thought Angelus as he looked outside his window again.
