Chapter 5: Missing. [pic]
Faith walked up the steps of the Hyperion. It was cold and the place looked dark. She peered through the window, hoping to see some movement, though the building was empty.
She walked inside, cautiously awaiting a villain that would pop out at her.
Just then Fred walked around the corner.
"Oh My!" Fred shouted as she through her notes all over the floor.
"I'm sorry, let me help you with that. I'm Faith, is this Angel Investigations?"
"Who wants to know?" Gunn asked walking into the lobby.
"Me, I'm Faith. I was looking for Angel. Is he here?"
"Actually he hasn't shown up all night. You wouldn't have anything to do with that, would you?" Asked Gunn suspiciously.
"Gunn, take it easy. Hi nice to meet you' Fred said shaking Faith's hand 'is there something we can help you with?"
"Do you all work here?" Faith asked.
"Yes, were friends of Angel." Fred said.
"Well I am too, and I was sent here to. you said he was missing?" Faith asked. "He was here earlier, I don't know if he's missing purse, but he left to meet Cordelia at the beach." Fred said.
"Well how long ago was that?" Faith asked.
"About.well.last night." Fred said.
"Well we should go and look in on this, lucky for me I packed some weapons." said Faith.
"Weapons.wait a minute, your Faith the Vampire Slayer aren't you?" Gunn asked.
"Yup, that's me, but no need to worry. I was released; I didn't break out of prison. So what do you say we go check out this beach."
"Angel said Point Dune, Cordelia liked that view." Said Fred
And with that the three of them took off in Gunn's truck. They headed down the road to the beach when all of a sudden Fred thought she noticed something on the corner.
"Isn't that Cordelia's jeep?" asked Fred
"Yeah, I believe it is." Gunn replied.
"She may be hurt, lets go and look for her."
Gunn pulled over the truck and got out.
"You to wait here. If there's trouble, I don't want you involved." Gunn said
"I can handle myself." Faith replied
"Yeah, im aware of that, but I would like it if you could watch over my girl here."
"Sure thing."
Gunn walked around the car looking for signs of a break in or trouble. None. The car just seemed to be abandoned.
"Let's go." Gunn said
"What happened, is Cordelia there?" Faith asked. "Nah, looks like the car was abandoned."
"So where are we going now?"
"Where checking out this beach."
Gunn pulled up at the cove and got out.
"Hey there's Angel's car. Fred said jumping out of the truck."
"So we've got two abandoned cars a mile away from each other and no drivers." Faith said
Gunn looked around the beach only to find a tazer blaster and a flashlight.
"What do you make of this?" Gunn asked
"Oh Angel, he's missing for sure." Fred said.
"Well, I say we find him. See these tracks along the sand; they lead straight into the water. Now I know Angel and he isn't much of a swimmer. So I think him and Cordelia were either dragged off into the ocean by a water demon, or some type of watercraft.
"The only way we can tell for sure is to check the water current or activity. I think I've got a cup out back; we can test it for oil or gasoline, something to indicate activity of a boat, or demonic activity as well." Said Fred
"That's good, but we need to get things situated for now." Faith said
"Well what do you supposed we do?" asked Gunn
"There's a boat docked over to the side, lets go out in it and look for him."
"Good Plan. Lets Go." Gunn said
