Chapter 1

Willow, Xander and Spike pulled up to Angel's hotel shortly after eight pm. Angel and Cordelia had called and asked them for their help to defeat Wolfram and Hart. The three agreed immediately, but Buffy had to stay in Sunny Dale to do the slaying.

"Hello?" Willow called when no answer came she walked over to Cordelia's desk. "Cordy had a vision."

"Ok why don't you show Spike and I to our room then we can unpack." Xander suggested.

"Sure," Willow said grabbing her bag and walking up the stairs.

The redhead gave Spike and Xander the only other room other then Angel's that had heavy curtains. Xander and Spike started dating almost a year ago, soon after Spike had come to the gang telling them he couldn't hurt anyone anymore.

The three headed back downstairs after they got settled in. they had just sat down in the lobby when Angel and Cordelia walked in.

"Hi." Willow said standing and walking over to her friends.

"Willow!" Cordelia smiled and hugged the redhead.

"Hello Willow, Xander, Spike." Angel greeted and hugged the redhead.

"Peaches." Spike replied.

"So why don't you get us up to speed." Willow said.

"Why don't we order some food and then we'll get into it." Cordelia recommended.

"Sounds like a plan." Xander replied.

An hour later the five friends were sitting around eating pizza.

"So what's going on?" Spike asked sipping on his blood.

"Well you guys know about Wolfram and Hart." Cordy started.

The three Sunny Dale people nodded.

"Well they have been trying to get rid of us for awhile." Cordy continued, "But since they haven't had any luck with that they have started to go after our clients. In the last two months we have lost three clients."

"What do you mean lost?" Willow questioned.

"They have been killed." Angel answered, "But not by the demons they hired us for. They have been beaten and stabbed."

"Oh God," Xander said.

"They know how important our clients are to us. We might not know them well, but we are responsible for them." Cordelia replied.

"I'm so sorry." Willow stated.

"There is more." Angel said.

"What?" Spike asked.

Angel looked at Cordelia uncomfortable.

"They brought Darla back." Angel said.

"What?" Xander asked his voice cracked.

"How?" Willow asked.

"They know some really powerful demons. She was brought back human but she was sick again with syphilis. She wanted me to turn her but I refused. Wolfram and Hart wanted to make sure she was around to help and found Dru, and she turned her." Angel explained.

"Oh great we have to deal with the law firm your sire and that bloody loon?" Spike asked.

"Yeah," Cordelia nodded. "I'm sorry." She looked at Willow and Xander.

"How do we stop them?" Willow asked.

"We need to find out what they are planning. We were hoping that you could get into their system and see what they have going on." Angel replied.

"Of course," Willow nodded.

"It's late why don't we all try and get some sleep and start tomorrow." Cordelia suggested.

"Yeah that sounds good." Xander yawned.

"The pouf and I will do a quick patrol." Spike said standing he could use a good fight.

"Ok be careful." Xander said and kissed the blonde.

"I will, get some sleep." Spike instructed.

"Night Angel," Willow said.

"Good night." Angel replied and he and Spike left the hotel.

"You ok Xan?" Willow asked as they walked upstairs.

"I can't believe they brought that bitch back." Xander said angrily.

"We'll kill her again." Willow stated.

"I know." Xander replied.
