Lily was unsure of her position yet in the hotel. So she answered the phone
calls that came occasionally and the odd caller. She was now an expert on
heating blood, ordering tacos and making tea but she was still bored.
Wesley had guessed quickly that she was a slayer. He was an ex-watcher and
seemed to understand why she found the council so creepy. Maybe she would
fit in here until Angel was better. The phone rang and Lily grabbed it.
'Hello, Angel investigations we help the helpless. How may I help you?' 'Lily?' 'Buffy? How did you find me? You are getting as bad as the council.' 'I need to speak with Angel' 'He's not available at the moment would you like to talk to one of his associates?' 'Get him Lily and stop playing receptionist I have more important things to do' 'I already told you. He is not available at the moment I can give him a message if you want.' 'No. Get Wesley for me then.' 'Fine' Lily punched the silence button. 'Wesley' she yelled ' there's a call for you on line one' 'Got it thanks Lily.' Wesley picked up the phone in Angel's room. 'Hello?' 'Hey Wesley it's Buffy.' 'Hello Buffy. What can I do for you?' 'I need to talk to Angel.' 'He's not available at the moment.' 'That's what Lily said but it's me Wes, just put him on. It's important.' 'Look Buffy tell me what it is and I'll pass on the message.' 'Fine. I found Angel's kid here in Sunnydale and I thought he might be wondering where he was.' 'You have Conor?' 'Well he's been calling himself Jack.' 'Buffy listen carefully. He could be very dangerous we think he had something to do with Angel's disappearance last summer. We found Angel but he's still unconscious and so can't ell us anything. Keep him there with you and I'll send Gunn down to collect him.' 'One other thing Wesley, Jack/Conor was living with your new receptionist so you might want to watch her carefully too. And would it kill you to call me and tell me when important things happen? I found out about the kid from Drusilla and I never even knew that Angel was missing' ' Sorry, we'll tell you in future.' The promise rang hollow 'Bye Buffy' 'Bye'
Lily walked in to the room after Wesley hung up. 'What did Buffy the vampire layer want?' she inquired as she flopped down into a chair. 'She found something important to us. And don't call her that it's in bad taste' he reprimanded her sharply. 'Why not? She was sleeping with the Johnny Rotten look alike, the one with the soul, and I heard there was another one too a few years ago' she spoke thoughtlessly as she reached over to check on Angel. 'You must be mistaken Lily, Angel doesn't look like Johnny Rotten' 'No I mean that guy Spike, peroxide blonde, blue eyes, very moody looking, smelt of alcohol. Wait did you just say this Angel slept with that Buffy?!!?' 'Yes they were together years ago' 'I suppose we all make mistakes' 'Buffy and Spike....I'll go myself to pick up that item form Buffy. Gunn will accompany me if you and Fred can stay here alone.' 'Maybe I should catch a lift back with you. My room mate will be wondering about me and if I'm staying here for a while I'll need to give him money for rent and stuff and tell my boss I'm taking time off.' 'How long are you planning to stay for?' 'Well Cordelia asked me to look after Angel so I suppose until he's ok again. I'd better go and heat some more blood for him.'
Lily left to go downstairs leaving Wesley alone thinking. She mustn't know that Jack is Conor or she would have given some indication. Maybe it's best if she does come back to Sunnydale with me, Wesley mused, then she'll have to confront him and I can see what she knows about him. He stood up and grabbed the phone to call Gunn and tell him what was going on.
