An Old Ally
Chapter 4: Plans
Gunn was very upset that Wesley took Fred away and was going to get him back.
The next day, when Angel came down stairs to begin working, Gunn walked up to him.
"Angel" he called as he descended the stairs.
"Yeah" he replied quickening his pace.
"It's Wesley, man, he took Fred" he lied.
"What? What happened?" he asked.
"He came here last night and fought me and took Fred away" he lied again.
"What? Why would he do that?" he asked a little confused.
"Well he probably thought that since we trusted him now and that he had feelings for Fred he took his shot" he said.
"Where would he take her?" Angel asked.
"Probably back to his place" he said. "I don't know what he'll do to her, but I'm worried" he said.
"So first he takes Connor and then Fred. He's going to pay," he said.
This is exactly what Gunn wanted and his plan was going the way he wanted.
Wesley's apartment.
Fred was asleep on the couch, her hands tucked under her cheek, lying on her side. Wesley woke up and saw her and smiled. He got up and started to make some tea. He tried not to make too much noise, but failed. Fred started to stir at the noise and woke up. Wesley did not want to wake her but he did. She stretched her arms and yawned. She sat up and looked around. Then she spotted Wesley making tea and stood up. Slowly, Fred made her way to the kitchen, rubbing her eyes and greeted him.
"Good morning" she said. Wesley turned to her.
"Oh, Fred good morning. Sorry I woke you up" he said.
"Oh, that's okay" she said sitting down.
"I'm just making some tea for us" he said.
"Oh, good" she said. She looked around a bit trying to find something to keep her busy. She spotted the book Lilah gave Wesley and started to look at it. She read some of the pages and looked at the drawing of the demons. "Interesting" she said as she flipped through pages.
"What's so… interesting" Wesley said as he turned around and noticed the book.
"This, where did you get it" she asked.
"Oh, umm, just an acquaintance," he turning back to the tea.
"Oh" she said putting back on the desk. She turned to Wesley. She studied him for a few moments. She liked everything about, from his well-dressed style of clothing to his intelligence of demonology. ' God, he cares so much, and he doesn't know how much this means to me. Charles would never make me tea or….wow, Wesley's in good shape….wait no! I can't be thinking about this. Even though Charles and I had a fight, I still love him, right?' she thought.
"Here you go" Wesley said placing a mug in front of her. She was still zoned out. "Fred?" Wesley asked.
"What? Oh thank you," she said as she was shaken from her thoughts.
"Is everything okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, why?" she asked taking a sip.
"You just seemed a little… distant," he said, taking a sip of his tea.
"Oh, just a little tired I guess" she lied.
"Yeah, me too" he said.
"Yeah, oh thank you for letting me stay here. I feel bad putting you out like this" she said.
"No, no trouble at all" he said. "I was glad to have you stay," he said smiling. This made Fred smile her amazing smile that lit Wesley up inside. 'God, she's so sweet. And innocent. I am so happy to do this for her. I know Gunn never would and … God she's so beautiful…wait no! She still loves Gunn, right?' he thought. He was shaken from his thoughts, bye the telephone ringing. He stood and went to answer it.
"Hello" he answered.
"Hello, Wesley" the female voice on the other line greeted.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Just wanted to know if you reconsidered my offer," Lilah said.
"No, now good day" he said as he hung up.
"Wait, don't hang… up" she said as the dial tone buzzed in her ear.
"Who was that?" Fred asked cautiously.
"No one, it's not important," he said as he sat back down.
"Oh, okay. Umm… I should probably be getting back to the hotel in a little while" she said, standing.
"Oh you don't need to leave yet," he said also standing.
"I know, but Gunn…or Angel might be worried" she said.
"Yeah, I'll ride home with you, make sure you get back safely" he said.
A little before sunset, they set off for the hotel.
Hyperion.
"So what do you want to do?" Gunn asked Angel.
"I want to kill him," he said.
"Wow, wow, slow down" Gunn said stepping in front of him. "You can't just go out and kill him," he said.
"Why not" he asked.
"Okay, one, it's day, two it's not right and three what if he's not even at his apartment" he said.
"Okay we'll wait until sun down and I will rationally talk to him, then I'll kill him," he said storming into the office.
Sun down didn't come fast enough, but it eventually came and the moment it did, Angel stormed off into the night.
Wesley and Fred were riding back to the hotel as the sun was setting. Fred was looking out her window intensively.
"What are you looking at?" Wesley asked.
"Oh, just the sunset" she said turning to him. Then back to the window. "Isn't it beautiful?" she asked as she pointed to the window.
"Yes, it is" he said staring at her. "Are you alright? You seem a little nervous," he asked. She turned to him.
"Well, I am a little, with what Gunn will say or do" she said turning back to the window.
"Oh, don't worry about it" he said.
Wesley was a nervous himself, but did not let him self show it. He didn't know what Gunn was going to say or do to him too and he had a hunch that he let other people know that Fred was with him all night.
