Angel had returned back to the Hyperion just before sunrise as soon as he walked into the building he felt another presence in his home.
"Wesley" Angel muttered as he saw the ex watcher standing by the counter outside the kitchen
"Angel" he replied
"What are you doing here?" Angel said coldly
Wesley stepped forward "I'm looking for Buffy"
Angel smirked "The same Buffy you sent over here to help me?"
Wesley sighed "I see the your meeting was unsuccessful" Wesley motioned to the broken furniture and surroundings
Angel laughed "Not that unsuccessful. I've got to give you props. Sending in my ex to try and bring me back from the brink of darkness...trying to pull me over with something I love. Oh wait, I don't love, I'm a demon"
"I don't understand why you don't want help Angel, but frankly I've given up caring"
Angel nodded "That's good to know"
"What happened to Buffy?"
Angel shrugged "What can I say, we had a blast"
Wesley cringed slightly "She was meant to check back in with us hours ago. Her phone is switched off. Do you know where she is?"
Angel's face flashed of worry, but he was quick to cover it up "That's not really my problem Wes" Angel brushed past him
Wesley turned to watch him make his way to the stairs "What if Dru or Darla got to her?"
Angel knew that that didn't happen "I don't care"
Wesley's voice grew "You do know that if it were you missing she would be the leading the army to find you?"
Angel ignored his comment and walked up the stairs slamming the door behind him
Wesley stood for a few moments longer in the lobby before slowly making his way out of the Hyperion.
Angel sat onto his bed and ran his hands through his hair. He lent down onto his knees and rubbed his head.
"She probably just went home" Angel thought to himself
He glanced down at the bed he was sitting on remembering what had happened in it only hours earlier, before laying down and drifting off into a disturbing sleep.

Buffy was exhausted, the tests were finally finished, or so she hoped. After the electric shocks were finished they strapped her to a high speed treadmill for over 4 hours without water until her legs gave out. They then placed her on a gurney and did various blood tests. She was then placed back in the glass room and left on the floor when they released gas into the room and timed how long she stayed conscious. She was glad they left her on the floor as she fell unconscious once again.
When she woke she found herself in a large sparring room. She was once again strapped to a table and watched as more people in white coats came towards her.
They place white patches which were attached to cords on the sides of her face near her temple and on her chest close to her heart.
Another one pulled out a syringe and injected her with a clear liquid.
"What's..." She mumbled
A young lady looked down at her and smiled "Just so we can see your heart rate and blood pressure"
They then left the room and the restraints holding her down released themselves.
That's when they released the various demons into the room
She felt a surge of energy suddenly, probably from whatever they injected her with before, as they had used it during her time there to boost her energy levels.
She rose from the table and began to fight off the demons coming at her. She lasted a good twenty minutes before the energy wore off and the recent events of the day caught up with her. The demons over powered her and threw her around the room like she was a rag doll. Punches were thrown, only at her, she tried defending herself but her body was too worn out to do so.
Eventually the demons were stopped.
She lay on the floor and squinted as she went to see who it was. Hamilton.
"Well I thought you were going to last more than 20 minutes Buffy"
Buffy just glared at him
Hamilton smiled and bent down to look at her "I have a surprise for you"
Buffy looked at him in confusion before she felt arms pull her up to her feet and lock her hands in cuffs behind her back before dragging her out of the room.

Angel had awoken from his deep sleep to find that it was once again night. He looked to the doorway to find Darla there waiting for him.
"Are you ready to go lover?" She said seductively
Angel eyed her exposed legs and slowly rose from the bed. He went to put on a shirt when Darla's hands stopped him as she ran her hands down his chest.
"We still have time you know, we could always take a trip down memory lane" she moved her lips closer to his
Angel breathed out before capturing her lips and throwing her onto the bed. He was quick to strip her of her clothes and run hungry kisses down her body.
Darla tore off his boxers and wrapped her legs around his hips. She gasped suddenly as he entered her and they began moving together.
They both vamped out and fed off each other. Angel felt Darla reach her peak and he already knew that his wasn't possible, not with her. He pushed her roughly back on the bed and pulled out of her.
Darla went to pull him back to her but he moved off the bed and began to dress himself
"It's time to go"
Darla looked disappointed and dragged herself off the bed and back into her clothes.

Angel, Darla and Drusilla made their way into the Wolfram and Hart building and into the elevator. They waited till they reached the 87th floor before they exited and found who they were looking for.
"Angel, so glad that you could make it" Hamilton smiled as he stood in front of the group
Angel nodded before looking behind Hamilton to see Lindsey and a few other men standing there.
"Shall we go to my office" Hamilton signalled behind him
Angel nodded and followed Hamilton to his office. Lindsey, Darla and Drusilla followed.
And in that moment Angel wished he hadn't gone into that office, he looked to the corner of Hamilton's desk as he sat down to see a gagged Buffy strapped tightly to a chair. She had a deep red cut across the side of her forehead and a large bruise to the side of her head and face. There were other various bruises and cuts on her body as she sat there with only a short silky white dressing gown on.
She looked weak. He could sense her hope as her eyes connected with his. He was quick to look away from her and took a seat in front of Hamilton's desk, Darla sitting alongside him. He felt Buffy's jealousy as he caught her glaring at Darla.
Lindsey came around the desk to stand at Hamilton's side and Drusilla stood behind Angel, she eyed the slayer hungrily as she licked her lips.
Hamilton opened a folder and it landed on his desk with a thump. "You are aware of why you are here Angel?" Hamilton asked
Angel nodded "Here to join you"
Hamilton smiled "Great, there are just a few things I need to discuss with you first"
Angel found himself being distracted as he watched Drusilla walk behind Buffy and run her hand through Buffy's hair.
Angel clenched his fists at his side as he watched Drusilla lower her head to Buffy's throat. Buffy looked straight at him in panic.
"Drusilla" Lindsey said sternly, making Drusilla look up at him "No feeding off the girl"
"I just want to play..." Drusilla whined as she moved away from the slayer
Angel kept a gaze on Buffy before looking back to Hamilton "What's there to discuss?"
Hamilton closed a file on his desk and threw it across the desk to Angel "A job"
Angel opened the file and found a picture and location, with various other documents inside "What's the job"
Hamilton smiled "A delivery. Our client has something of ours and wants something in return" Hamilton pointed to Buffy "You are to deliver the slayer to our client"
Angel swore he nearly dropped the file on the floor as he looked nervously over to Buffy. He couldn't read her face.
Hamilton smiled at Angel's reaction "Do you accept the job?"
Angel pulled his focus from Buffy and looked to Hamilton "I accept"
Hamilton nodded "You have 48 hours"
