It was daytime. They had been walking for who knows how long. The others were tired and he had to admit that he was feeling a bit fatigued as well, but they had to keep going. They had less than three days to get Brandon back to his world. Plus he had to keep moving for fear of losing Dru's scent.
"Angel we have to stop," Wesley said, sounding winded.
"We can't, Wesley."
"We have to. We're no good to you if we're too exhausted, when we catch up to Drusilla," he argued.
"Come on Angelus. We don't need them. We'll move faster without them slowing us down anyway," Darla said.
"As much as I'd hate to admit it, I think Darla is right," Cordy said, breathing heavily.
Angel looked at the group and realized they were correct. Most of them looked like they could fall over at any second. Willow and Gunn, however, seemed the least tired. He came to a conclusion. "Okay, here's the deal. Darla, Willow and Gunn will come with me and we'll keep tracking Dru. The rest of you find the next available exit, go to the hotel and get some rest. After that, go to Wolfram and Hart and make sure you have everything in place so that all you need is the kid and the visual image. I have my cell, so I'll call Cordy when we get the kid, okay?" He watched them to see what they thought of his plan.
"Hey, how come I don't get to rest?" Gunn asked.
"You seem to be one of the least tired and I'm going to need the extra muscle," Angel answered.
"Why Willow?" Tara asked softly.
Angel looked at her sadly. "I'm going to need her power," he answered. He felt sorry for her. He could tell that Willow was her entire world.
"Hey," Willow said, getting her girlfriend's attention, "I faced off with a goddess. I sure I can handle one insane vampire," she said trying to give her courage. "I just have to make sure not to mix up my abras from my cadabras," she finished, earned a smile from Tara. She kissed her lightly. "I'll be back for you."
Everyone's hearts melted at the tenderness of the scene. Everyone's except for Darla, who just thought they were wasting time. "Dru is getting away while we watch this lovefest. Just FYI."
"Darla's right, we need to keep moving," he agreed, although he hated doing it. He looked at Willow for a second. "We have to go," he said sadly and started heading down the tunnel, followed by Darla. Gunn and Willow soon followed soon, while the rest went in the opposite direction, because they had just passed an opening before they stopped.
"Goddess, please protect her," Tara prayed, looking back in the direction Willow went.
