Chapter 6

The two Mills sisters were waiting for the Jet that Giles sent to finish refueling. Regina watched as Faith paced back and forth, much like a caged wild cat. It had been a few hours since the original call that saw to it that both sisters would head to Los Angeles to find out what was going on, on that front.

Faith muttered, "What the hell was Angel thinking?" She gave a precise pivot as she continued, "Better yet why didn't Cordy or anyone try to stop him?"

Regina sighed, "Faith, there is no way to know until we get there."

Faith grimaced, "I still think you coming with me, is a bad idea. You could have stayed with Henry."

"You know I wasn't going to let you go alone," Regina sassed from her seat just as the pilot walked up she added, "besides the way you talked about this place, I defiantly don't want you going alone and as much as it pains me, I agreed with Ms. Swan that Henry needed to stay with them."

The pilot spoke with a smile, "Hello ladies, the planes already, whenever you are."


The plane trip took at most three hours. During that time Faith and Regina argued about who would drive once in LA.

Faith groaned, "Regina, I know you hate letting others drive you around but under no circumstance, am I letting you drive in LA traffic."

The former Evil Queen glared with a sigh, "Fine."

When the plane landed on the Council property near LA, one of the Sunnydale Slayers was waiting as the sisters stepped off the Jet.

Rona smirked as Faith exited the Jet. The younger Slayer had never seen the Dark Slayer look so well, put together. Rona was used to seeing Faith in torn jeans and t-shirts, with as all the mini-slayers called them ass-kicking boots. So when she remarked, "Well, well don't you look a little more dignified, eh Faith?"

Faith scoffed looking down at her outfit that was approved by her big sister as law firm friendly, which consists of stylish yet practical boots, still ass-kick worthy, a pair of designer black slacks with a belt and a crimson polo shirt. As she shrugged on her black leather jacket, Faith rolled her eyes at the thinly veiled irritation from Regina at the jacket.

The Dark Slayer glared at Rona, "Shut up! So where are our wheels?"

Rona just grinned as she replied, "Well you get to pick." She led them to the garage which housed quite a few high-class cars. The two Mills picked out a black mustang GT.

The drive from Slayer territory to Evil INC was very quiet with the exception of the radio playing softly in the background. The drive had Faith deep in thought as to what could possible lead the Fang Gang to work for Wolfram & Hart.

Regina spent most of the drive watching the landscape evolve from suburbs to skyscrapers. She glanced at her sister, who was driving. Regina noticed the car slow to turn into a parking lot outside a building. Looking towards the sign, Regina half expected it to actually read Evil INC; instead she found the words 'Wolfram & Hart'.

Faith gripped the steering wheel for a moment before exhaling, "Ready?"

Studying her sister for signs of distress, Regina placed her hand on Faith's forearm to draw the Slayer's attention to her. Once she had it, Regina replied, "Let's go, dear."

The two exited the car and headed into the building. Upon entering, Faith saw each of the Fang Gang with the exception of Cordelia, intermingling with the employees of the law firm. Faith had a passing thought of 'where was Cordy?' before shaking it off as she stalked to the blonde secretary.

Regina touched Faith shoulder causing the younger Mills to glance back at her as she cleared her throat. With a fake smile, Regina spoke, "Excuse me, Miss. May I speak with Mr. Angel?"

Harmony didn't even bother to look up as she asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

Faith gave a feral grin as she slammed her hand down upon Harmony's, "I think he'd love to see me."

Harmony jumped at the noise and hand suddenly pinning her own in place. Upon looking up at the slayer's voice, the ditzy blonde vampiress froze in pure terror. Harmony felt her eyes widen as she found herself staring directly into the face of the Dark Slayer. If Buffy Summers was to be fear by the demonic underground then Faith Lehane was the ultimate boogieman do to her darker nature that allowed Faith to terrify even the worst demons. Rumor in the underground was that unlike Summers, Lehane had no problems drawing out a kill just for her own amusement.

Harmony exclaimed, "He's in his office. Please don't stake me!"

Regina raised her eyebrow at the power Faith seemed to have when not only did the secretary flinch but every other being within hearing range froze at both Faith's voice and the blonde's replied outcry.

"Thank you Harmony," Faith grinned. Turning to her sister, Faith gestured, "Your Majesty." Regina leveled an annoyed stare at Faith before regally moving into the office.

Angel heard his office door open but he was too into the argument with Spike to really care as to whom had just entered.

Upon entering behind Regina, Faith spoke, "Hey Fang, Wha…" She stopped abruptly before barking out with, "What the hell?!"

Both vampires looked over to see Faith standing with an unknown dark haired older woman. Spike smirked, "Well good on you Luscious, getting yourself a cougar." As Spike dug himself into a hole with the two women, Angel observed the older woman.

Faith snarled and lunged at Spike completely disregarding her passing thought of it being the First. Spike vamped out as Faith caught his duster in hand and slammed his back into the window pane behind him. Spike laughed at the reaction that Faith gave.

Regina rolled her eyes at the dark haired man that was watching her before moving to bring Faith back to the pressing issues. "Faith, let the idiot go," the command was full on Queen Tone. Regina hated using this tone on Faith but it was the only way to get through right now and she also knew that Faith had other things that the two were there for and the blond man had nothing to do with them.

Faith dropped her grip on Spike, and snapped to attention at her sister's tone. The tone was remnant to the time when Faith served as Knight under her sister and the King's command.

Angel watched in muted surprise as Faith listen to the woman with ease. The Dark haired Vamp asked, "Why are you here Faith? And who is she?"

Faith turned to the vamp that saved her soul and started her path of redemption, "Why am I here? What the hell are you doing here Angel? This doesn't really look like 'Helping the Hopeless'. This looks like you sold out."

Spike hung back and watched as the Dark Slayer ripped into his grand-sire. While enjoying the entertainment of Angel getting his, Spike snuck a whiff of the other woman that entered the room. "Oi! Why do you smell like the Slayer there?" Spike demanded.

The argument was cut short as Regina turned to regard Spike as no better than dirt on her stylish heels. Faith bit back a laugh at her big sister turning on the Evil Queen glare at the annoying vampire. Regina asked, "Excuse me? What are you doing smelling people anyway?"

Angel cut in, "He's right, oh that hurt to say, who are you?"

Faith rolled her eyes at the two men as she answered, "She's my older sister." She then turned the topic back to why she was here, "Now, why are you running Wolfram & Hart and why the hell would Cordy even let you?"

Angel turned a bland stare to Faith as he answered, "Cordy's in a coma Faith. The Senior Partners offered the LA branch of WR&H and to take care of Cordelia in exchange."

Faith blinked as she opened and closed her mouth a few times before stuttering through, "You're leaving Evil INC in charge of ensuring Cordy stays alive?! Are you out of your mind!?" Faith started to pace and mutter different solutions to getting Cordelia out of Wolfram & Hart's hold, "Why didn't you have her transferred to Slayer territory? No you know what; I'm taking Cordelia Chase out of here."

"You can't do that Faith," Angel sighed, "She wouldn't…"

"That's where you're wrong Angel. I'm going to have Giles or the local Head send a team to transport Cordy to Slayer territory," Faith glared, "why Angel? You and I both know Cordelia would have never let you do something this stupid…"

Before Faith could finish her thought Angel's office phone rang. Angel answered, "Hello…" he listened for a moment before exclaiming, "What do you mean Ms. Chase's bed is empty? No I will be right there."


No matter what hospital Faith ever enters, they all feel the same overwhelmingly sterile. Faith and Regina had joined Angel and Wesley into seeing what had happened to Cordelia. Upon entering, the on duty nurse called the four over and asked, "Who are Angel and Faith?"

Angel stepped forward, "I'm Angel and the younger lady is Faith. Why what happened to Cordy?"

The Nurse replied, "I don't know sir. But there were two notes left behind. One was addressed to a Mr. Angel and the other addressed to a Ms. Faith." She then handed the thicker envelope to Angel before handing a sheet of paper to Faith.

It was a note saying,

"Don't panic, I'll see you in Maine you Slut Bomb. I'll explain best I can. Let's just say I called in some debts.

Oh, and have some stuff waiting, my sizes are on the back. And you better have acquired some better tastes in cloths! Better yet, just let your sister do the shopping, you and the wolf will have me looking like a San Fernando Valley porn star.

And I mean that with affection.

Love, Cordelia

PS: Yes love...as friends, so don't get mushy, I HAVE been watching you!

I also don't wear clunky boots: Stylish yet practical will do. And some nice heels."

Faith laughed as Regina read the note over her shoulder. Regina spoke, "Well that's a rude name to call you."

Faith grinned over at her sister saying, "That's Cor."

Regina rolled her eyes, "Well this was counterproductive."

After making sure that Cordy's message was received by Angel, Faith and Regina headed back to Storybrooke.


Upon crossing back into the town limits well after dark, the tires of Regina's Mercedes burst as if they hit spikes. The car spun out of control, knocking Regina out after her head hit the window, and dazing Faith as she slammed forward into the dashboard.

Before Faith could regain focus she felt a needle pump a substance into her system. Just before completely losing consciousness Faith saw a blurred figure place some sort of band onto her sister's wrist, that was the last thing Faith saw before everything went black.


A/N: So sorry about the wait. Also the little note was thought up by someone else so I can't take credit for that.
