CHAPTER TWO
Buffy and Connor sat in a diner reading the menus.
"What are you going to get" Buffy asked from across the booth
Connor shrugged "Not sure, maybe a hamburger"
Buffy nodded "Sounds good"
The waitress came up to their booth "Are you ready to order?"
Buffy looked up at her "Yeah, can we get two hamburgers with fries thanks"
The waitress wrote down the order "Any drinks?"
Buffy nodded "Can I get a coke with vodka?"
Connor eyed her
The waitress shook her head "Sorry we haven't any alcohol here theirs the lone bar down the road…"
Buffy nodded "That's fine, just two cokes then"
The waitress finished the order "Won't be long" and walked away into the kitchen
Buffy ignored Connor's stare and placed the menu back on the table "So Connor, how long have you lived in LA for?"
"A couple of weeks"
"So you and your dad enjoying…?"
"He's dead"
Buffy looked sympathetically at him, "Oh! I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have any other family in town?"
"I've got a friend, my biological father lives here, but I don't want to speak with him"
"I can understand that" Buffy picked up the fork from beside her.
"I thought you said you were staying at your dad's…"
"I haven't seen him in a couple of years he's never in town. So what did he do?"
"Who?"
"Your father you're biological…"
"He killed my real father"
Buffy dropped the fork which she was fiddling with "Is he in jail?"
Connor shook his head "The law won't apply to him…he is not one of us"
"He's a demon" Buffy concluded
"Yes, one that I am waiting to kill"
"And you're human" Connor nodded his head. Buffy nodded and continued "You know revenge isn't always the best way to deal with these things…."
Connor raised his voice "What would you know! You don't know me"
"Your right I don't know you, but I know what it's like to have people you love get taken from you" Buffy said calmly
Connor was twitching with rage and Buffy just sat there
"Right so all of a sudden we have things in common"
The waitress came over with their food and placed it on the table looking at the two of them a moment before leaving.
Buffy looked down at the plate "This looks good" she said plainly ignoring Connor's previous comment. "You're only a young kid Connor, you don't want to be leading onto the wrong path"
"My father is evil. I'm not on the wrong path here lady"
Buffy chuckled slightly "Right, of course your not"
Connor watched her take a bite of her meal "Why do you even care? Why should I even trust what you're saying?"
"To be honest with you I don't care what you do. I'm just passing the time here, and as for trusting me, don't, you'll most likely end up dead"
"Why are you planning on taking me out?"
Buffy placed her cutlery down and wiped her mouth with the napkin before standing from the table "Because Connor, everyone I've ever loved or cared about has ended up losing trust in me, hurt and dead"
Connor looked sympathetically at her
"It was nice to meet you Connor" she placed the money for the meal on the table and left the diner leaving Connor there slightly stunned from their encounter.

Cordelia finished pile ling some folders on her desk before walking over to Wesley who was by the kitchen counter reading.
"He's been gone a while, you don't suppose something has happened?" Cordelia asked
Wesley removed his glasses to clean them "He'll be alright Cordelia"
"Sure he only has a boy that was called The Destroyer in a demon dimension after him" she said sarcastically
The phone rang
Cordelia rushed to it "Angel Investigations we help the helpless"
"Cordelia?"
"Willow? Is that you?"
"Yeah how you been?"
"Oh you know great, did anyone tell you about my new acting gig I had last week…"
"That sounds great Cordy, is Angel there?"
"Angel why do you want…No oh no, not more Buffy saga, please"
"Cordelia!"
"He's not here, we've got problems of our own here too you know"
Willow sighed "Look can you just let him know that Buffy is there"
"Buffy is here? In LA? Why?'
"Cordelia just give him the message, I just need someone to keep an eye on her"
"Has she done a Faith or something…"
"You don't know?"
"Know what?"
There was a pause "Mrs Summer's she passed away a couple of weeks ago"
"Oh god" Cordelia whispered
"Dawn was murdered just last week"
Cordelia just stayed quiet
"Cordelia I need Angel to look out for her. She was…she was well past distraught when she was last here…I don't want her to hurt herself"
"I'll tell Angel as soon as he get's back"
"Thankyou, I'll call soon to see how everything is"
"Ok bye Willow" she hung up.
Wesley looked up at her "I'm suspecting that was not good news"

After leaving the diner Buffy made her way down the street. She walked past a few houses on her way. She stopped at one. There were three women seated around a table, one older lady and two younger girls, a family. Buffy's eyes began to water and she continued her walk down the street.
Lost in her sorrow she was distracted by someone falling into a garbage can. She looked of to see a green horned demon telling the man he'd better go home.
Buffy curiously looked up at the sign for the place and noticed its familiarity 'The Lone Bar' that the waitress had told her about. Taking a step off the sidewalk she made her way over to the building.

Angel was near giving up looking for his son. He had picked up his scent a few hours ago but had not found any more traces of him. He decided to go to the place that he always went for information.
The Lone Bar
Making his way inside he spotted Lorne behind the bar talking to a few other demons.
Lorne look over to him "Angel cakes, how you going?"
"Good thanks Lorne"
"What brings you here tonight? Up for some more singing are we?"
"Not quite. I'm wondering if you have seen Connor at all?"
Lorne shook his head "Can't say I have Angel cakes. Out of all the humans we've had come in tonight, none fit his description"
Angel nodded
"As a matter of fact you'd like the look of one of them tonight. Sweet looking thing she is. I cut her off an hour ago, but guys keep buying her drinks"
Angel nodded uninterested "We'll if you see Connor…"
Lorne was too busy searching the bar, his eyes widened "Oh there she is, cute little thing isn't she?"
Angel quickly glanced in the direction Lorne was pointing before looking back to Lorne. "Yeah ok…" he recognised the familiar tingling that had set off as soon as he walked in, he looked back to the girl and made his way over.
Lorne smiled as Angel brushed past him "Knew you'd want to see her" he said quietly.
Angel made his way up to the booth she was sitting in "Buffy"
