As she walked down the dark, dank, rat-infested street, she noticed the demon following her. She didn't dare run. She knew that he would chase her. She kept walking until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned and saw the demon smiling at her.
"Jesus! Lorne you scared the hell outta me!" she said. "Well hon, I tried to get your attention but you're as deaf as a Kaflor demon." Lorne said. "What did you want Lorne?" she asked with a smile on her face. "Well I sensed the Powers gettin' ready to be chatty, and I figured you could use a friend. I also thought that I should call Angel for you, since that asshole Frank smashed your phone." He said. "Oh God!" she screamed as she started to fall to the ground. "Cordelia!" Lorne yelled as Cordelia fell to the ground. Flashes of images flooded through her mind.
A 10 year old boy was screaming as 4 vampires were attacking a woman and a 12 yr old girl. The boy ran and hid in the closet. The lights in the house were flickering on and off like a dying firefly. No one else on Figueroa heard the screams.
"Let me use your phone, Lorne." She said. "Way ahead of ya. Angel's already on the phone sweetie." He said handing her the phone and cradling her head. "Angel, vampires attacking a family at 1302 Collingwood Pl. They haven't gotten to the boy yet, hurry!" she said. "Ok hon; let's get you to Caritas for some aspirin and ice. Caritas is closer than Angel's." he said answering her puzzled look.
Back at the hotel, Angel, Gunn and Wesley were gearing up for battle. "Gunn bring the car around, Wesley and I will grab everything else." Angel said while strapping a stake to his wrist. "Can do." Gunn said grabbing the keys and his sharpened bat. Cordelia and Lorne walked in as Gunn walked out.
"Cordy, can you watch Connor for me? I f he wakes up...well you know what to do." Angel said heading for the door. "Hey, the boy in my vision is hiding in the closet!" she yelled as Angel ran out the door. Gunn pulled up as Angel got out the door. Angel jumped into the car pushing Gunn into the passenger seat. "Wesley you got the address?" asked Angel as he pulled out of the driveway. "1302 Collingwood Pl., Angel we may be too late. Wesley said.
Angel turned off the car and jumped out. He ran up to the door and kicked it in. The older woman was already dead, therefore Angel could enter. The vamps were working on the little girl. Angel walked in and started kicking ass. One vampire, known as Damon to Gunn, ran up and tried to bite Wesley. Gunn pushed Wesley out of the way and staked the vamp. Angel was working on the leader. The vamp went to punch Angel, but Angel caught his fist and staked him. By the time the fight was over, the girl was dead. Gunn called the cops. Wesley found the little boy. "You ok?" he asked him. "Yeah. Those guys were scary." He said. "What's your name?" Wesley asked. "Jimmy what's yours?" Jimmy asked. "Wesley." "Hey Angel, You might wanna get outta here." Gunn said as he got off the phone. "Kate comin' with 'em?" Angel asked. "Yeah and with your rep with her…yeah you might wanna leave." Gunn said. Angel walked out the door and began to run back to the hotel. Wesley turned to Gunn. "What did you tell the police?" Wesley asked. "I said that we were drivin' down the road when we happened to notice 4 men attacking a home. I also said that we chased them away but we were too late to save the women," he answered heading towards the door.
Back at the hotel, Cordelia was picking up a screaming Connor. Angel walked in and Cordelia handed Connor to him. "Hey there little man, you just wake up?" he said picking up his bottle. "I trust everything went ok?" Lorne asked. "We got there just as the vamps were feedin' on the girl. By the time we dusted 'em all, both the girls were dead." Angel said while feeding Connor. "What about the boy?" asked Cordelia. "He's fine. Gunn called the cops so I had too skedaddle." Angel said. "That's good. Lorne hold me." Said Cordelia as another vision ransacked her head. "Got ya babe!" said Lorne as he pulled her the couch.
"3 women, being attacked by a demon. He threw fire at one of them. It killed her. They're in an attic. There's a book on a stand behind them. It had a symbol on it. Angel we gotta help them." She said as Gun and Wesley walked in. "What did the symbol look like?" Wesley asked as he rushed over to her. "It had 3 points and a circle. I'll draw it for you," she said as she grabbed a pen and a notebook. She showed her rough, finished drawing to Wesley. Angel grabbed the notebook. "I know this symbol. I've seen it somewhere before. I think like back in 1988. I kinda lost my soul and witches put it back the next day. I really don't wanna talk about it." He said in a hurried voice. "Well, then what does it mean. I've never seen it before." Wesley said, slightly irritated. "It's the symbol for the power of three. I'm pretty sure you know who they are. If they're in some kinda trouble we should help. We gonna have to wait until tomorrow though." He said as he pointed at the rose colored sky, knowing that the sun was rising.
