Xander was surprised to see a girl reading in the hotel lobby when he entered. "Hi I was looking for Cordelia."

"Oh, she left with Angel a few minutes ago, but Wesley and Charles should be back soon. I'm Fred."

"Well Fred do you know anything about dimensional portals, because a friend of mine just got sucked into one." Xander was shocked at the sudden change of her facial expression.

"Portals are bad and there's nothing to hold onto and they try and kill you until you hide in the cave."

"Hey, no one's going to hurt you I promise."
