The one thing that Darla really didn't like Angelus for was Drusilla. The insane vampire always managed to annoy her to no end, especially now since she wasn't there. "Where is she?" she yelled, her voice echoing off the walls.
"Looks like she's in the sewer," Angel answered, seeing a grate that wasn't in place. He moved it out of the way. "So, who's first?" he asked, although he was already taking Cordy's hand. He slowly lowered her down.
"I really hate sewers," she muttered needlessly. Soon Willow, Tara, and Anya were lowered down beside her.
"I don't like it here," Anya said after looking around.
"I don't think anyone likes it here," Tara replied sympathetically. She and Anya were better friends than most realized, because they both felt like they were just there because of their significant others. They both knew that wasn't the truth, but it still felt that way sometimes.
After they were all down, they realized they had a problem. "Anybody got any idea which way they went?" Gunn said, asking the question that was on all their minds.
"I've got an idea," Willow said. Then she closed her eyes and said a spell softly. Soon a little dot of light appeared. She opened her eyes and a huge smile appeared on her face. "This will take us straight to them. Find Drusilla," she commanded the dot. Tara looked as if she was going to say something, but the dot shot off to their left, so she closed her mouth and just shrugged.
"We go left," Willow said simply. A second later the dot shot past them and started heading towards the right. "Ooookay, we go right," she said a little less sure of herself. Then the dot came back and started heading towards the left again. Then towards the right. Soon it was just shooting past them back and forth, back and forth. Then it stopped and exploded.
"That certainly was helpful," Darla said sarcastically.
"What happened?" Angel asked.
"I don't know," she replied, perplexed. She had sent it to find Drusilla, not Brandon. It should have worked.
"I was afraid that was going to happen," Tara said softly. When she noticed everyone looking at her, she explained, "Drusilla's in contact with him. His immunity to magic extends to her, as long as they are touching."
"Great, so now how do we track them?" Lindsey asked, frustrated.
He didn't get an answer though. "Angel?" Darla asked. To the others she seemed to be concentrating on something.
"Yeah, I hear it," he answered her hidden question. "It's coming from that direction," he said, pointing to the left. He started walking.
"Angel, what is it that you hear?" Wesley asked.
"A fight," he answered. After a few seconds, he stopped. "The fight's over," he informed them before continuing. They walked in silence for about an hour.
"So how many do you think there were?" Darla asked, looking at ground.
"Four. Possibly five," Angel answered, his supernatural senses marking the spots where the vampires were dusted. There was one spot that was very large which suggested two vampires, but could have been just one really large vampire. They continued in silence.
"I don't get it. Why did she leave? Doesn't she know that she'll be killed as well?" Cordelia asked to no in particular after a while.
"Yeah she knows. But you have to remember, she is insane," Darla said, looking pointedly at Angel. He refused to take the bait.
"I was thinking about that," Lindsey started, "How did you know we were going to go to Ciritas? All of our psychics couldn't getting any readings off him."
"What are you talking about Lindsey?" Darla asked annoyed.
"Well, one of the side effects of not existing in our reality is that our laws don't effect him. Which is why my magic didn't work," Willow informed her.
"That does pose a rather interesting question though. Why is Drusilla's powers working around him?" Wesley wondered.
"It's possible there's a difference between their psychics' and Dru's powers," Angel reasoned. "Are your psychics human or demon?"
"Demon. Humans are too interpretational," Lindsey asked clinically.
"There's the difference. Dru's powers are human in origin," Angel answered. "He must have human psychics in his reality."
"I have a question: what are we going to do once we get him?" Gunn asked.
"Well, Lindsey here is going to open another portal to his reality and send him back. Right Lindsey?" Angel said matter-of-factly.
"Hopefully."
"Whoa, we better be working with something more than hopefully," Darla said, turning to the lawyer.
"Well, when we opened the portal originally, it was a rather random process. Hopefully, when we open it again to send him back, it will send him back to his own reality, but there are no guarantees," he explained.
"I can't believe this!" Darla screamed. There was a chance they could send him to another reality thinking it was his reality and be destroyed anyway.
"Wait a minute. How was it possible for you to get someone like Brandon? Someone who knew this world? Why didn't you just get some randon guy?" Willow asked. It couldn't have been as randon as Lindsey made it seem. There had to be some kind of selection process.
"We gave the chanters criteria of who we wanted. They concentrated on that while they chanted," he told her, but added, "But they weren't concentrating on any particular reality and that's our problem."
"So we're going to need someone who can concentrate on his reality, while they chant?" Angel asked, getting an idea.
"Yeah."
"I have an idea, but we have to find Dru first. Come on." He started running into the darkness.
