Chapter One
It's 10:30pm and the AI gang has just returned into the Hyperion Hotel. They have just come back from a warehouse that was infested with vampires. Angel walks over to Connor in an angry manor.

Angel: Connor how many times have I told you not to run of like that?

Connor: But the rest of the vampire gang was getting away.

Angel: Then you let them, all your doing is dividing your strength.

Connor: Fine I'm sorry.

Angel: Connor you just have to start thinking on more than just yourself.

Connor: I know.

Fred: Charles how about we go get cleaned up?

Gunn: Good idea.

Gunn puts his arm around Fred's waist as they make they're way upstairs.

Angel: Connor-

Connor: Dad I said I was sorry could you just drop this.

Angel: You always say your sorry but you still keep running of after the ones that have gotten away, Connor when we're dealing with a large group of demons they're might always be some that get away.

Cordelia enters the Hyperion Hotel with two shopping bangs in her hands.

Angel: Connor I'm serious this better be the last time you-

Connor is very frustrated as he cuts Angel off.

Connor: Dad I understand.

Cordelia: Hey, don't tell me let me guess, Connor ran of again.

Angel nods. Cordelia: Angel this is like the seventh time Connor has run of this month and each time you tell him the samething. I don't know about you but I'm seeing a pattern here.

Connor (frustrated): Dad I already said I understand.

Angel: I know your right Cordy, Connor your grounded your not allowed to leave this hotel for a full week.

Connor (shocked): Your kidding right?

Angel: I'm serious for the next 7 days you are not to leave this hotel. Connor you have known very well how I don't like you running of but you did it any way.

Cordelia: Connor this is the seventh time you've done this with full knowledge of how Angel felt about it.

Connor is at a state of shock at this point he can't believe that he has just gotten grounded and he thinks it's all thanks to Cordelia.

Connor (sarcastically): Thanks Cordy I owe you big time.

Angel (sternly): The one who you should thank is yourself, now go to your room.

Connor just glared at Angel and Cordelia very stubbornly for a few moments then made his way upstairs to his room.

Cordelia: Wow if looks could kill, Angel you handled that very well. You just need to be a little less lenient with Connor, what I'm trying to say is that don't wait until the seventh time he does something wrong to punish him.

Angel: Your right I have been too lenient with him.

Cordelia: Oh I almost forgot here this bag is for you and this bag is for Connor, there was a big sale at the mall.

Angel: Cordy you shouldn't have-

Cordelia: Angel I wanted to you guys really needed some new clothes.

Angel: Thanks.

Cordelia: Your welcome well I'm going to go now goodnight.

Angel: Goodnight bye.

Cordelia exits the hotel. Angel makes his way up to Connor's room. Angel knocks on Connors door.

Angel: Hey pal can I come in?

Connor: Sure.

Angel enters Connor's room carrying Connor's bag , Angel see's his son seated on his bed sulking. Angel walks over to his son's bed and sits across from Connor.

Angel: Here this bag is for you it's from Cordy.

Connor: What's in it?

Angel: Clothes.

Angel hands over the bag to Connor.

Angel: Make sure the next time you see Cordelia you tell her thank you for the clothes.

Connor (annoyed): I know dad I will. Please Review
