Chapter 7:

Gavin glared at Conor as he hissed, "Conor Drugain I had hoped you were dead, but I'm glad you aren't."

Conor's eyes glinted dangerously as he growled in a low menacing voice, "Yea an why is that ye buggerin ponce?"

Gavin growled,., "I wanted to take your quickening myself."

Conor took a threatening step forward as he challenged in a hard voice, "D'ye now, well go on an try."

Gavin hissed in a voice laced with malice, "You're safe right now, we're on unholy ground. But rest assured Celt, you're time is coming."

Conor was in his face in the blink of an eye. He growled in a low deathly calm voice, "Anytime Boyo, anytime."

Gavin stalked off as he mumbled darkly, "You're time will come Drugain I swear it."

Angel asked, "What just happened?"

Conor replied as he strode purposefully through the huge set of double doors, "Tell ye later Liam."

Lilah's head snapped as she glared daggers at Angel, and stared fearfully at Faith as she asked, "What do you want Angel?"

Angel replied as he switched into game face, "Leave my son alone. Your hired killer failed."

Lilah gasped, "You killed him, but how as far as we know the only way to kill a lightening swordsman is to cut off their head, and he was a remarkable swordsman."

Conor said in a low voice, "He wasna that good lass. I took his head."

Lilah demanded, "And just who the hell are you?"

He replied, "I'm Conor Drugain of the Clan Drugain."

Lilah gasped in both fright, and surprise. She had indeed heard of the Celtic immortal. He was widely feared throughout the demon world. She also knew of his very violent temper, and his incredible wrath if you betrayed him, or harmed one of his loved ones. She licked suddenly dry lips as she asked, "Why are you here?"

Conor had a dangerous gleam in his eye as he said in a voice hard as steel, "I'm here ta tell ye stay the bloody hell away from the hotel."

Lilah asked in a voice full of false bravado, "Why should I?"

Conor grabbed her throat in a viselike grip, and started to squeeze as he growled in a low menacing voice, "Cause if ye dona do what I say; then I'll be back, an ye willna like the consequences."

Lilah stared into his blazing dark brown eyes as she croaked, "I'm not scared of you, or your rep."

Angel was a little shocked by Lilah's admission. He knew Lilah didn't scare easily, but even as Angelus he knew of Conor's ruthless rep, and even though Angelus feared no one, he was always a little cautious around Conor. Faith on the other hand was completely taken aback. She was really glad she had never encountered Conor back in Sunnydale, or two years ago when she had tried to kill Angel. If she had she was sure she would be dead. Conor completely terrified her with his temper, and intimidating demeanor. She stepped up beside him, and hissed into Lilah's ear, "I still owe you for hiring me to kill Angel. Don't think I forgot bitch."

Lilah's eye became round as saucers. She tried to speak, but Conor clamped down on her windpipe as he growled, "Ye'll pay fer that ye stupid bint."

Lilah croaked, "Get your hands off of me."

Conor tightened his grip as he hissed, "Ye ever come after Liam gain, I'll kill ye."

And with that he released her. She asked as she rubbed her bruised neck, "Why do you care so much about Angel, and his friends, and why do you call him Liam? All the Intel we have on you says that you're a solitary warrior with no known ties."

Conor glared daggers at her as he said in a low voice, "He's my kinsman."

Lilah was stunned. After several minutes she sneered, "Good to know."

Conor grabbed a fistful of her hair, and twisted her head painfully as he growled, "An why is that ye stupid bint?"

Lilah replied in a pain filled voice, "That's none of your business?"

Conor twisted his fingers deeper into her hair as he reached into his duster, drew his sword, and pressed it to her bared throat as he growled, "Ye best tell me ye stupid bitch."

Lilah glanced fearfully down at the sword as she asked, "Or what?"

Conor pressed the razor sharp double edged blade deeper into her neck; drawing blood as he growled, "Or I'll cut yer buggerin head off."

Lilah glanced overt at Angel as she said, "Call him off Angel, or none of you are getting out alive."

Angel glowered at her for several minutes, then he said, "Alright Conor we made our point."

Conor removed the blade from her neck, then slammed her in the cheek with the hilt, fracturing her cheekbone. He growled as he sheathed his sword, "Member what I bleedin said ye stupid bitch."

And with they left. Angel growled from the backseat, "I thought you said you were going to play it cool in there?'

Conor growled back, "No Liam I didn't say that, I said that I wouldna be killin any o them tonight."

Faith chuckled as Angel said, "Point taken. You really shouldn't have done that to Lilah, she's dangerous, and very vindictive."

Conor drawled, "Don't get yer knickers in a twist Liam, I ain't worried bout that pyscho bitch."

Angel just shook his head as he said, "Alright then tell us why you called Gavin Jin Po."

Will Conor tell him
