Sunnydale, California 2002
" Buffy," came a voice on the other line. Her heart sank. It was not his. Where is he her mind reeled? He should have picked up the phone. He should have been the one saying her name.
" Buffy, are you there?" repeated Cordelia. She could hear the slayers labored breathing. " Listen, he was not in his room, but if you want I could tell him to call you. He must have stepped out…"
Buffy half listened to the girls voice as she dropped the phone on the floor. She brought her knees toward her and hugged herself. She would not cry. She would not panic. In her dazed state, she heard Willow talking to Cordelia and than she hung up the phone.
They were still standing in the hallway looking at her. Worry written on their face. Dawn stoop at the top of the stairs. They were all waiting fro an explanation. Waiting to hear what had scared the slayer so much that she actually had called the vampire that had not been named in this house for months.
Willow approached her friend on the floor. The blond girl was rocking herself back and forth and mumbling something to her self.
" Buffy… Are you okay?" she asked softly. The girl's head shot up and their eyes met. Willow saw confusion, fear and pain there. Buffy than looked at everyone else there, and saw the concern looks in their eyes. She got up and started up the stairs.
" I have to go … I have to go to L.A. " She mumbled more to herself than to anyone, "I have to make sure he is alright "
" He is okay, Cordelia said he must have stepped out while they were in the office…" answered Willow as she went up the stairs behind her friend. She did not know what was going on but she knew that anything that had to do with him always made her loose it.
Buffy ignored her. She was wasting time here. Who knows what happened. She remembered the battle in the dream. But she knew that it was not a dream. It had felt too real and she had known that if Dawn had not awakened her she might have still been trapped there. The rational part of herself would have told her that he had to be awake to be moving right. And that Cordelia had said he had gone out that what good would it do for to go up there. She knew the answer she had to make sure. She just had to make sure that he had made it out of there and that he was not hurt? Could they get hurt when they were in there?
Willow just stood there in front of the door watching her put stuff in her bag. Buffy was pacing around in the room frantically lost in her thoughts.
" Enough! Cried the red head. She walked towards her friend and sat her down. Buffy surprised by the cry just complied. " You are not going anywhere till you tell me what in the world is going on? I don't want you to leave me n the dark in this. Buffy whatever it is you know you can tell us?
"I don't have time for this…I have to go…Angel …" She could not bring herself to say more.
" Tell me what is going on, Buffy, maybe I can help. Angel is fine," said Willow putting her hands over the trembling ones of her friend.
" Tell us what is going on? Asked Xander coming in her room. He came to stand in front of her. He grasped her arm and helped her stand. " You know that there is nothing that you cannot tell us we are your friends, no matter what?
At theses words she felt a little pang in her heart. They're so much she hadn't told them. But was this the right time to be talking about the dream s what if Angel was lying somewhere dying. No Cordelia had said that he had stepped out.
She followed Xander into the living room. Dawn was leaning on spike on the sofa. Anya was sitting in one of the chairs. They were all lost in thought. When they saw Xander come in with Buffy and willow and tow they looked up expectantly.
" Well what is going on with the old pouf? Asked Spike. Finally breaking the silence. He seemed a little unnerved. Buffy glared at him.
" Listen there is something I need to tell you guys. Last night I had this dream…
" Oh! A prophetic dream? Asked willow.
" No, well I am not sure but I had almost the same dream a few minutes ago, they were some differences but it felt more like I had traveled somewhere not like a dream …"

" Something really strange just happened said Cordelia entering Wesley's office. Everyone sprawled on the floor reading books looked at her." You are not going to believe who just called in a panic frenzy?
Who? Asked Gunn taking the bait.
" Buffy… and the nerve of her she was like ' get me angel on the phone' no 'hello' or 'was sup Cordelia' just I want Angel."
Did she say what for? Asked Wesley suddenly interested in Cordelia's ranting.
" No, Willow picked up the phone. By the way Have any of you seen Angel?
" Didn't you say the phone was for him? Didn't he talk to Buffy? Asked Gunn bewildered. "
" I did not find him in his room. Is he out? "
" Cordelia, Buffy called Angel. Did she say it was urgent…you said she was panicked on the phone. And you did not bother finding him for her"
" I called him and I went to his room and he was not there. I assumed that he went out and I came here to see if any of you had seen him or talk to him."
" Lets' find Angel. Whatever happened must have been something serious for her to call here." Said Wesley getting up. " Groosalugg and Gunn why don't you start scooping the city. Fred and Cordy search the Hotel. The host will take care of Connor. And I am going to call Sunnydale to see their situation. "
They all left the office. Each with a mission to find their friend wherever he might be.
