Chapter Twelve: A New Daddy and a New Mummy
"Ten bucks says Angel's dead," Gunn wagered.
"Twenty that they're in there shagging," Spike bet.
"We're not going to bet on what they're doing in there," Fred scolded.
"Twenty that Angel won," Wesley added.
* * *
Lorne rocked Conner back and forth. "Hush little baby don't you cry, Uncle Lorne's gonna sing you a lullaby."
Someone knocked on the door.
He opened it to reveal Holtz.
His eyes widened and he held on to Conner tightly.
"Give me the child, and you won't get hurt," Holtz told him.
"Buddy, I can read auras, and yours isn't exactly screaming cuddles and hugs for Connor," Lorne replied, backing up. Where's the weapons when you need them?
"Or we can do this the painful way," Holtz lunged at Lorne, knocking him back. Lorne wrapped his arms protectively around Connor, so he wouldn't be hurt in the fall.
Holtz knocked Lorne out, and grabbed the baby.
"Demons," He muttered, and then walked out of the room, heading out the back door.
"Don't cry little one. You won't have to deal with anymore vampires ever again. Daddy's going to make sure you grow up as normal as can be," he grinned, kissing the baby on the forehead.
* * *
After an extreme make-out session, Angel and Cordelia came out of the room.
The gang watched Cordelia warily.
"Cordy, do you have any temptation to jump on us and eat our faces off?" Gunn asked.
"Nope, I'm evil free," She stated happily. "Sorry about whoever I tried to kill, dismember, or eat," She added.
"Welcome back," Gunn gave her a hug.
"So what were you two doing in there?" Spike asked. "You were in there such a long time..."
Cordelia blushed, and Angel looked away.
"Damn it!" Gunn and Wesley handed their money over to Spike.
"Where's Lorne?" Cordelia asked.
"Upstairs with Connor," Fred answered.
"Anyone feel hungry?" Cordelia asked. "I could eat a horse..." She looked suddenly sick. "Oh God, I think that's what they fed me," She ran off to the bathroom, to empty her horse-filled stomach.
"I'll go get Connor, maybe we can get something to eat," Spike suggested.
"We beat the evil lawyers, this calls for food," Gunn announced.
Spike headed up the stairs, and smelt blood.
Demon blood.
He took the stairs two at a time, and saw the gecko man knocked out.
He shook Lorne. "Wake up!" He shook him.
Lorne moaned.
"Bloody Hell," Spike slapped him.
"Hey!" Lorne shouted, and came to. "Do I go around slapping your face?" He asked, then froze. "Holtz!" He ran down the stairs, stumbling from the dizziness. "Angel!"
Cordelia had rejoined the others, and looked up at Lorne.
"Connor's gone, Holtz has him," She said.
"What?" Angel demanded.
"He came up, when you and Cordelia were sending out the major smoochie vibes. He took him," Lorne stated.
Angel grabbed a nearby sword.
"Any idea where?" he asked.
"None," Lorne replied.
"We split up, and we find him," Angel ordered.
The group split up.
* * *
Holtz admitted that it had not been the most brilliant idea to kidnap Angel's son, and then rely on idiots to pick him up. That's why he was now on a bus, on his way to Kansas, with a baby.
"Not the best start to our new family, but it's better than letting you be raised by a vampire," Holtz told him. Justine would meet him in Kansas, and then they would be a family.
Holtz began explaining his entire plan for Connor - who he had renamed Nathaniel, when suddenly he felt pain in his neck - and then nothing.
* * *
Terrified passengers watched as the woman with raven hair snuck up on the man, and broke his neck. Poor guy had never seen it coming. She picked up the baby, and continued to sit at the back of the bus.
* * *
Angel refused to believe that it was really happening. That Holtz had gotten ahold of his son, and that there was a possibility that he would never see Connor again.
His only son, the only son he might ever have - was gone. Before he had gotten to teach him anything, before he had gotten the chance to teach him about life.
It began to rain, but Angel kept looking. He tried every contact, and still, no one knew where Holtz was going to go with his child.
If Angel could find Holtz's followers, then he would be able to find Holtz.
Or so he hoped.
* * *
Justine finished packing the last of her things, and closed the suitcase. She was to join Holtz in Kansas, and had to hurry to catch her plane.
She locked the door, and hurried down the hallway when Angel appeared.
Shit. She could tell that he was pissed.
"Where's Holtz?" Angel asked.
"No clue," She lied.
"We can do this another way. Where's Holtz?" Angel asked.
"I have no idea, now get your vampire ass away from me before I drive a stake through your bloodsucking heart-"
Angel was suddenly in front of her, holding a knife to her throat. "Where is Holtz?"
"I'll never tell you," She said.
"You will, or you'll die," Angel told her.
"Then kill me," She spat.
Angel used the blunt end of the knife to knock her out. He pulled out his cell phone, and called Lorne, who was waiting at the hotel.
"Get the truth potion ready," He said, as he carried Justine's body to his car.
* * *
The truth potion revealed Holtz's plans for Connor. Raise him as his own son, and never tell him that his true father was a vampire with a soul that helped the helpless in L.A.
Angel called the airport, to get direct tickets to Kansas.
"If she's lying, I'll call you," Angel told Wesley.
"Angel, you're not going to go all dark again are you?" Gunn asked.
Angel didn't answer, and Wesley, Cordelia, and Gunn shared a look.
"Angel, I'm coming with you," Cordelia announced. "Someone should be your backup."
"I've already made the tickets," He said, and left.
"We're gonna get fired again aren't we," Gunn remarked.
* * *
Angel started crying in the car.
His son, he had to get him back.
"Please God, I know I'm the last person on Earth who should be asking, but please, let me get my son back," He prayed.
Whether or not God heard him, he didn't know.
He just kept driving.
* * *
Cordelia was hit by a vision a few minutes after Angel's sudden exit.
***Holtz's neck was broken, and a woman picked Connor up, humming merrily. "Hush little darling don't say a word, mummy's going to buy you a bird." This sent her into a fit of giggles.
"Mummy will take good care of you," She stated. "Just like my mummy took good care of me," She laughed, and Cordelia gasped. ***
"What did you see?" Wesley asked.
"Holtz doesn't have Connor," Cordelia told them.
"Then who does?" Fred asked.
"Drusilla, and she's really hungry."
