Chapter 10: Finding Angel

Three months that was when Angel and Cordy went missing and they couldn't find either one of them. Chloe and Spike were sitting watching 'Passions' waiting for Lilah and Wesley to get done. Then they'd search for Angel.

Chloe and Spike had captured Justine one night, two months ago when they had hit a club. They subdued her and brought her back to Wesley they'd tied her up and made her tell them everything, and at night they searched the seas for the vampire with a soul. Wesley had asked them not to tell the others and they said they wouldn't they knew why he'd asked he wanted redemption and in his eyes this was the only way to get it.

Lilah stepped out of Wesley's room reapplying her lipstick. "See ya kiddo," she said to Chloe smirking her way, and Chloe smirked back nodding. After she left Wesley came out of his bedroom, buttoning his shirt, "Let's roll," Spike said getting up and clicking off the TV."

------------

Back at the hotel Fred and Gunn came back without Connor because Gunn had yelled at him for destroying the only lead they had on Angel. "-Cordy's gone, Wesley's gone, Angel's missing, Chloe and Spike now spend more time with Wesley than even we did and that is saying something." she finished her rant burying her head into Gunn's chest

And crying her eyes out.

Chloe, Spike and Wesley had been searching the sea with a very reluctant Justine for about an hour, Chloe knew the minute Justine picked up the wrench her vampiric hearing picking up on the gentle scraping of metal against metal, "He'll take away your bucket." she said simply, and a defeated Justine dropped the wrench and slumped back in her chair then Wesley's sonar went off and, and Wesley states the obvious, "We've found something."

"OOO goody another shopping cart." Justine said sarcastically.

"Nevertheless we should check." he threw a mask at Justine and Chloe goes outside the cabin where Spike was standing, "Spike maybe you should go down there with her to keep her honest."

"Good idea Chloe," Wesley said as Spike nodded to his girl and stripped to his skivvies and jumped into the water before Justine.

About thirty minutes later they were lifting a rusted metal coffin from the bottom of the ocean when they got the lid off Angel grabbed Wesley by the throat, the others sans Justine went to his rescue and were able to calm the ravenous vampire down to the point where they could give him a bag of pigs blood. "Lets go call the others," Wesley said and left the cabin followed by the others.

----------------

Fred took Connor a sandwich anger churning her stomach as she approached the boy's door. "Hey Connor I brought you your favorite," she said hen she told him he would suffer the way his father did, and stunned him with a stun gun that was in Chloe's sock drawer.

-------------

Back on the boat Chloe goes down to check on Angel it was her turn, she was on alert when she stepped into the room, but let down her guard when she realized that the pig's blood wasn't helping him at all, and she felt sorry for the vampire, he'd always lost the one's he loved the most. "Here it helped Darla and Spike I'm sure it will help you back on your feet too." she held out her wrist to him and he stared at her a moment before grabbing her wrist and let him sink his fangs into her. He drank greedily for a moment before retracting feeling better, than he had since the first week he'd been down there.

"Thank you." he grumbled out, "Spike will be pissed." he told her smirking.

"I know, but we need you top notch well at least the Powers That Be do."

He stays on the table still weak and she goes back up the stairs to the others. When she returned Spike immediately smelled her blood and Angel, and he growled angrily thinking of all the ways he'd hurt angel if he'd hurt his Pixie.

"Chloe my sweet are you all right."

"I'm fine Spike the pig's blood wasn't working Wesley I let him have some of my blood." Chloe said.

The anger he held for Angel changed to jealousy, as he heard that. "You did what now Love."

"Spike calm down if I hadn't he probably would have killed Justine plus its not like I enjoyed it I never do unless its you." she leaned up on her toes and kissed him.

"You and I are going to have to take a shower later to wash the smell of Angel off of you."

She smirked at him, "I can't wait."

------------------

Wesley carried a weak Angel over to the round blue thing that sits in the Lobby he explained that he would need blood and that he was still weak and then turned to leave, "You really don't care anymore do you." Fred said to him as he began to walk away, Wesley turned back around and Chloe could see the cold hurt expression on his face. Before he could reply he saw movement out of the corner of his eye.

Connor broke free, pushed past Gunn and stunned Fred with the same stun gun she had used on him. He was about to make a break for it when he saw Angel standing in the door way, "What no hug," Angel said sarcastically. "How was your summer? ? Mine was fun. Saw some fish, went mad with hunger, hallucinated a whole bunch."

"You deserve worse," Connor grumbled.

"'Cause I killed Holtz. Except I didn't. I tried telling you that while you were busy off shore dumping me, but I didn't know the whole score. Holtz killed himself. Actually, he had your buddy Justine do it with an ice pick, just to make you hate me." Angel explained and saw the sad look on his face. But that did not deter him.

"Even if... you still deserved it." Connor said with confidence

"What I deserve is open to debate. But understand, there's a difference between wishing vengeance on someone, and taking it. So now the question becomes, what do you deserve? Wesley told me everything that's been going on. So as far as I'm concerned, what you deserve rests on one answer. Did you do something to Cordelia?"

"No." Connor said desperation lacing his voice
"He's lying." Fred said.

"No, I'm not." tears filled his eyes.

"No way she just happened to disappear the same night." Gunn piped in

"I'm telling the truth, okay?"

"I know. I can tell. Done enough lying for me to know the difference. Truth has a better sound to it. Less nasal, you know." Connor got up and tried to rush past Angel, but he pushed Connor to the floor "Daddy's not done talking What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then, I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for 100 years, so a few months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M. C. Esher perspective. But I did get time to think... about us... about the world. Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be. It's harsh, and cruel. But that's why there's us - champions. Doesn't matter where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we make a difference. We live as though the world is as it should be, to show it what it can be. You're not a part of that yet. I hope you will be. I love you, Connor. Now get out of my house." his voice was low and his heart shattered as his son's eyes widened and the utter devastation etched onto his features, but he let him leave unable to let go of the anger and betrayed feelings.

That night while Chloe and Spike lay in bed, Chloe turned to her lover and said, "I can understand why he did it, why they both did what they did. Connor was angry and had just lost the only father he had the last tie to the only world he'd ever known and he wanted someone to blame and he already had the hatred for Angel, and Angel isn't ready to let go of the anger yet."

"You know you always were understanding love,"

A/N: If anyone could tell me what the actual term for the 'round blue thing that sits in the Lobby' that would be great. And Please Review.
