The Golden Star
"So, have you decided what kind you want?"
"Yeah. Is it possible to get a Kai'shar. They just look so cute, with the hair and all. When can we get it home?"
"A Kai'shar might take a week or two. It costs $10 000"
"We know. Here's the money. In cash as requested."
********************
Angel Investigations
"So Angel, what are we going to do?"
Angel looks up from the book he's reading.
"What do you mean Cordelia?"
"About my vision. Something's up with the Golden Star, shouldn't we investigate. Do something"
"Cordelia, before we can do anything, we need to find out more about the place" Wesley said as he walked into Angel's office. "We cannot just barge in there. We must gather information, and then make a battle plan."
"Why?"
They all turn and look straight at Kathy. She walks inside and closes the door, leaning against it.
"What do you mean?" Angel asks
"Angel, listen." Cordelia started, "the Golden Star is a like a pet shop, except that they sell Demons. All I saw in my vision were the sign. Maybe we're just supposed to know about the place, or help some guy who get's too close to the cages, or whatever they store them in."
Angel gets up and starts to walk around. Kathy looks at him but says nothing.
"What is it Angel" Wes finally says, breaking the silence.
"Something's not right here, I just can't figure out what. Kathy, Whistler told me you know this city pretty well. Can you find out where they keep the demons?"
"I can't promise anything, but I'll try." she says as she gets up, walking out of the door before Angel can say another word. 'There is something about her, something. I just can't remember what. I know I have seen her before' he thinks.
Knowing that Angel is going all broody again, Cordelia and Wesley leaves, closing the door after them. Angel sits down, still not able to find out where he's seen Kathy before. The name doesn't ring a bell, yet the face. He knows he's met her before, but he just can't remember.
********************
Sunnydale
"Wow" Buffy says as she stakes the last vampire.
"Yeah, that was quite intense" Riley says, lowering his crossbow. He walks over and helps Willow up, looking around to see if he can spot 'Hostile 17'. Spike helps Xander up and they both walk over to Buffy.
"Well, we stopped that alright" Riley says.
"Yeah. We kicked some vampire but" Buffy smiles, looking around. "EverybodyÕs ok right?"
"Yep. We're fine. A little bruised, but fine" Willow smiles
"Yeah. Oh bloody hell, that stupid vampire dusted all over my new coat. Fuck" Spike yells as he tries to wipe the dust off his coat.
"Spike! Language" Buffy says and points at him with her finger.
"Oh Buffy, shut up"
"Spike, I'm warning you here"
"Yeah yeah, you're always warning me Buff. What are you gonna do, tickle me to death?"
"ThatÕs enough Spike" Riley says as he walks in between the vampire and his girlfriend.
"Well, why don't we call it a night heh? I'm tired" Xander says, trying to ease the tension that is building.
"OK. I'll see you tomorrow. Buffy, Riley, wait" Willow says as she hurries after Buffy and Riley who's already on their way back to the dorms. Xander looks at Spike.
"So, are you staying at my place tonight, or?"
"Yeah, I'll stay with you. Got some blood."
"Yeah, why."
"Oh, just wondering."
********************
Somewhere in LA
Walking down the street, the Trakh'zehr stops, looking around. It feels like it's being watched. Going on it smells blood, flesh. Human. It walks a bit further, then stops again. Demon? A vampire. It turns around the corner, and looks straight at a female vampire, sucking a pale human dry. The vampire looks at him, smiling. "Hungry?"
It walks closer and suddenly feels a sting in his neck, and then a burning feeling, before everything goes black.
The vampire turns at the sound of footsteps, and looks at the man in front of her.
"Yes sir, we've got him. Tell the military guys they can come and pick him up for the tests. Oh, and Carter got a Kai'sahr. Get him ready, he's already sold." Hanging up the phone he looks at the vampire.
"Great job. Did you have some fun?"
"Sure did."
"Good. That is very good. Getting stronger?"
"Yeah. Soon I will be as strong as I was."
"Soon you will be ready for the bigger jobs."
"Angel?"
"Yeah, Angel"
********************
Angel Investigations, Angel's apartment
Pacing back and forth, Angel wonders what the vision could have meant. It had to have a meaning. Maybe Kathy would figure something out.
Kathy. He knew he had seen her before, but. Wait a minute, could she be? The computer said she was what, a hundred and fifty, more or less. And that she had had the soul for all that time. Could she be. The timing would be right, yet. It was possible. It had to be. The face was the same, but not the behavior.
Could she be her, was it possible?
He turned against the door when he heard someone outside. He opened it up right before Kathy had time to knock. Looking at her he knew the answer to his question. It was really her.
Kathy looked at him, not understanding why he was staring.
"You OK Angel?"
"Yeah. Did you find out anything?"
He needed time to think. Had to talk to Whistler, if he could fined him. He needed some answers, and Whistler seemed the right person to ask.
"Yep, I did. I can't find the place where they keep the Demons, but I know it's underground somewhere. Something about a military operation, just it's top secret. Military guys walk around in the city at night, hunting demons. They don't kill them though, they take them alive. They do some kind of experiment on them, leaving them harmless. When it comes to vampires, that mean putting some sort of chip into their heads. It pretty much turns them into kittens. They can't hurt a human being at all."
"Why do they do that?"
"Who wants a pet that will kill you if you're not careful? Anyways, money. Wolfram&Hart runs the business.."
"Yeah, you mentioned something about that at the Golden Star, but I don't get it. Wolfram&Hart help vampires. They use them in their work. Doesn't the demons and vampires know about this?"
"Sure they do, they just don't care. Now, as I was saying. Wolfram&Hart runs it, but it is the military guys who does the dirty work. Their best Demon Hunter is called Carter. Demons are afraid of him. They say he can't be defeated. And two demons got taken last night. Carter got a Kai'shar, and someone got a Trakh'zehr. They had a female vampire helping on that one. Blond, pretty, I don't know the name."
"How do you know all this?"
"It's my job"
********************
"So, you're saying they got a Kai'shar?"
"Yeah Wes, for the last time they got a Kai'shar"
"What is it Wesley?" Cordelia asks
"If I am not entirely wrong, the Kai'shar is a friendly demon. It would never harm anyone. So why are they taking them?"
"Someone probably wanted a nice pet" Cordelia answers as she sits down by her desk.
"Cordelia. Why woul..."
"SheÕs right Wes. They take whatever people want. It's the way it is."
Wesley turns to look at her.
"They being Wolfram&Hart?"
"Wolfram&Hart runs it, but it's the military guys who actually does the stuff. How many times do I have to tell you."
Suddenly something clicks in Angel's mind.
"The Initiative."
"What" they all turns to stare at him.
"Giles told me about the military guys who captured and ran experiments on demons and vampires in Sunnydale, He said they shut it down, pretty much trashing the place. It must still be running."
"Makes sense" Wesley says as he takes of his glasses and polishes them.
"Riley." Angel yells
"Who?" Cpordelia says, looking at him.
"BuffyÕs new boyfriend. He knew them"
"Oh. We need to let her know"
"I know Cordelia. Could you go. I can't face Buffy right now. I mean, last time I beat Riley up. I don't think she wants to see me right now"
"Sure, I'll go."
"I'll come with you" Wesley said and got up.
"Wesley, I need you here. Kathy can go with Cordelia. We need to do some research. Cordelia, if you have a vision, call me, ok. Kathy, see what you can find out while you are up there."
"OK Angel."
The got up and left the office, heading out to the car.
"So, what is Buffy like?" Kathy asks as they get into the car.
"Well, she's the Slayer."
"Oh great. I knew the Slayer was in Sunnydale, but I didn't know he was gonna send me right to her. Well, I'll just have to watch my back, and yours, the vampire activity is high there this time of the year."
"I know, I grew up there. The city is so small, it's like you feel trapped. It's nothing like LA. I mean, the stores, it is so hard to find some decent clothes there, and the shoes......."
