The door opened to the room. Everyone stared at its opening and cringed when Sarah walked in. She glared at all of them and finally looked at Angel.
"Angel. Are you out of your mind? Do you know what Alex will do if she catches you? I don't care what kind of relationship you two have, nothing will protect you if she finds out that you were watching." Sarah demanded to know.
"You were watching, is she going to hurt you too?" Anya asked.
Sarah glared at her again, "No, Alex gave me permission. On the other hand, she strictly forbid Angel from letting you all watch."
"Oops…" Angel said sheepishly.
"Oops? Oops is not going to save your ass, Angel." Sarah said, though her angry face was faltering as she tried to keep as straight face.
"I thought it was important for them to understand." Angel replied.
"Understand what?" Willow wanted to know.
"Oh yeah, Angel. I can see that they understand completely." Sarah said sarcastically.
"What are we suppose to understand?" Willow asked again.
"Angel, you better come with me. Let's go tell Alex who dropped in for a visit…" Sarah said with a hint of fear in her voice, "Jill, stay here with our guests. Don't let them cause any more trouble."
Angel and Sarah left the room. Jill stared down at her feet. Xander looked angry.
"Why are we being blamed for the trouble? Angel was the one who brought us down here." He said angrily.
"You're not getting blamed for the trouble. See Angel going to see Alex? He's going to go accept the blame for bringing you all down here. Don't worry. Your pretty little selves are blame-free."
"Hey!" Xander exclaimed, "Why are you so angry at us all of a sudden?"
"You still don't get it, do you? Alex is a cold-blooded killer. Nobody disobeys her and lives to tell about it." Jill said bitterly.
"A cold-blooded killer? That girl? C'mon. Give me a break. I bet Buffy could kick her ass any day…" Xander vented.
"And I bet not." Spike said, interrupting Xander, "Look, I despise Angel but even I feel sorry for him."
"Are you saying she's going to kill him?" Buffy asked suddenly.
"I doubt it. Not in front of Faith, at least." Spike replied.
"Yeah. Alex would never do anything to Angel in front of Faith. Faith has no idea how much of a killer Alex is. And I doubt Alex is interested in showing that side of herself to Faith right now." Jill said.
"Alex looks like a harmless kitten. Besides, Faith is a cold-blooded killer, too." Xander persisted.
"Obviously it runs in the family." Spike said and laughed. Jill smiled.
"I don't get it." Anya said.
"Wait a minute. Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Willow asked.
"Well…It depends on what you're thinking…because I doubt you're thinking what I'm thinking…unless you're dreaming about some hot blood and a nice Jacuzzi…" Spike replied with a smile.
"Faith and Alex are related aren't they? That's what you meant about it running in the family!" Anya said triumphantly, "I get it now! Ha! Ha! I get the joke!"
"Related?!" Willow said, incredulously.
"Yeah. Sure they are. They're sisters. Duh." Jill replied with an edge of disdain in her voice.
"Faith and Alex are sisters?" Buffy asked, astonished. Everybody else looked at everybody else. What else could possible go wrong?
"Angel. Are you out of your mind? Do you know what Alex will do if she catches you? I don't care what kind of relationship you two have, nothing will protect you if she finds out that you were watching." Sarah demanded to know.
