Deception

CHAPTER ONE

At the Hyperion Angel is trying to be a good father to Connor. Angel set rules for Connor to follow and Connor slowly tried to adjust to it. Connor really enjoyed getting on Angel's nerves. Angel knew very well Connor was still young and confused, even though Connor hates to admit it he really needs his dad in his life.

Connor would occasionally sneak out of the Hyperion every once in a while against Angel's wishes. So today Connor decided to sneak out again the reason he usually snuck out was because he hated having to ask Angel permission to do things and he knew Angel would tell him no because he wasn't allowed after midnight to go out alone without one of the fang gang members with him. Before he snuck out he wanted to smell extra good for his hot date so he went into Angel's bedroom and was so glad not to find Angel inside and he put some of his father's Eternity cologne on. When he was done he went back into his room and he then decided to wear a black Independent T-shirt with some baggy dark blue jean pants from The Gap and some black Reebok's classics.

The reason he wanted to look good was for a girl he just had meet the other day her name was Tryst. Connor was planning on meeting Tryst tonight around 12:30am in front of an underground club.

While Connor is finishing getting ready to sneak out Angel is downstairs in his office talking with a client who has just come in.

"So you're telling me a demon kidnapped your daughter?" Angel said.

"To tell you the truth she went along with that thing willingly, she didn't fight him or anything, she didn't even look scared." Martha said.

"Well it sounds to me like she wasn't kidnapped, where you having any problems at home that she would have liked to get away from?" Angel said.

" No things where ok between my daughter and I we did bicker sometimes but that's normal." Martha said.

"Do you have a picture of your daughter?" Angel said.

"Yes of course here." Martha says while she hands the picture over to Angel and he looks at it then puts it on his desk.

"Don't worry we'll help you find your daughter." Angel said.

" Thank you so much I have to get back home now call me if you find out anything." Martha said.

Angel nodded to her request as he walked her out the door. While Martha was on her way out of the hotel she bumped into Wesley coming in.

"Oh excuse me madam." Wesley said. Wesley then entered the Hyperion and Angel informed him about they're new assignment.

"I love you Troy." Tryst said to her boyfriend.

"I love you too babe." Troy said back to his girlfriend. The lovers then hug and kiss passionately.

"I'm going over a friends for a while, I won't be back too late."
Tryst told Troy as she walked out of his apartment.

At the Hyperion Connor was finishing up getting ready then he noticed he left his wallet downstairs in Angel's office. He couldn't leave without his wallet so he decided to go downstairs and just get it. As he made it to the stairs he saw his dad and Wesley talking. Angel smelled a strong scent of one of his cologne's coming from the stairs; he looked toward the stairs and saw Connor standing at the top of the stairs. Connor slowly made his way downstairs when he saw his dad look at him.

"Are you wearing my cologne? Angel asked Connor while Connor was walking up to him.

"Yeah I put a little." Connor said.

"A little! Smells like you put on the whole bottle." Angel says with a smile.

"I'm leaving soon on an assignment, Connor your coming? " Angel said.

When Connor heard Angel invite him to go along Connor was about to naturally say yes but stopped him self when he remembered the date he had with Tryst.

"Nah. I'm tired." Connor said.

"Are you sure?" Angel said.

Connor nodded.

"Are you feeling ok because you're never too tired to go out on an assignment?" Angel said with worry in his words.

"I'm fine I'm just tired ok." Connor said while he headed toward Angel's office to retrieve his wallet he had left in there earlier. Angel followed behind his son and saw his son get his wallet and he became a little suspicious of Connor he had a feeling the kid was up to something.

"What's the need for the wallet?" Angel asked.

Connor was alarmed by Angel's question he didn't expect it at all.

"I'm just getting it back I left it here earlier that's all." Connor said.

" Are you sure that's all?" Angel asked suspiciously.

Connor suddenly felt as if he were caught red handed doing something bad.

Connor nodded.

" I better not find out you left this hotel while I was gone." Angel said sternly.

"O.K." Connor says while walking toward the stairs.

"Alright then, I'm going to be leaving now bye Connor bye Wes." Angel said as he walked out of the hotel.

"Bye dad." Connor said as Angel walked out.
