Faith was happy to finally feel the warmth of the sunshine on her face again. She walked slowly down the street. She knew what she was looking for, but she was nervous. She didn't know how everyone would take her return.

Angel she was okay with. He had even visited her a few times. They were Five by Five, but she knew she should be ready for an all out war with Wesley and Cordelia. They wouldn't appreciate her asking for a place to say. She knew that much.

She had arrived outside the hotel. She stood starring blankly at the door. She didn't know whether to go in or not. She ultimately decided to turn around and walk away from the hotel. Too late.

"Hello." A young man said. Faith noted that he was somewhat good looking, but a little on the skinny side.

"Hey…I am looking for Angel Investigations. Is this it?" She asked him.

"Yes. I am Connor Angel."

"Oh…Cool. I am Faith. Is Angel around?" She asked the boy.

"No…" He said reluctantly, "Do you need help though, because we can help you."

"No…I really need to see Angel. He knows me. Could you tell him that Faith stopped by?"

"Well, he has disappeared. Do you want to talk to Fred and Gunn?"

"Disappeared?" She asked.

"Connor…Who are you talking to out there?" A girl asked form inside the house.

"A girl that says she knows my father," He answered back, "Her name is Faith."

"Faith? I think I remember Angel talking about her…" Suddenly the skinny girl was standing next to the boy, "Were you the one in prison?" She asked, a little bluntly.

"Yeah…That's me…The little jailbird…Did you just say that you were Angel's son? Isn't that a little on the impossible side?"

"Well, apparently not…Because I'm here."

"Do you wanna come in? I mean, Angel isn't here…But he will be soon. Or at least, we hope he will."

"No that's okay. I'll just go somewhere else," She said. She wasn't very eager to find out what Wesley would do to her without Angel around to stop him.

"Oh, nonsense. Me and Gunn can fix up a room for you…You can stay here until we find Angel." She said sweetly. Faith tried to say, but she really did need a place to stay, and it was either this place or a homeless shelter.

"Okay…Thanks," She answered, forcing a smile.

*****

Faith followed Connor up to the room they had fixed for her.

"So, where are Cordelia and Wesley?" She asked Connor.

"Wesley? I don't think I have met him…Cordelia is gone too…She disappeared the same night as Angel."

"You haven't met Wesley? But him and Angel were all buddy/buddy the last time I saw them…" She said, sounding a bit confused.

"Well, I haven't seen him, and I have been here about a month…They talk about him sometimes though, when they don't think I am listening…"

"What do they say?"

"Well, I only hear bits and pieces, but I think he did something to betray Angel."

"Wow…Stuffy guy grew a pair," She said, laughing a little, "So, where did you come from? I mean, Angel never mentioned a son…" She told him.

"Well, I was kidnapped when I was a baby…I came back to find my father…I grew up in Quor-toth."

"Where's that?"

"It's a hell dimension."

"That sucks. So, how old are you?"

"Well, they tell me that when I was taken as a baby it was only a couple months ago, but I am sixteen where I am from."

"So, wow…You come back, and your dad disappears…That's horrible…I mean, I sort of understand the whole not having a parent around thing."

"Yeah. Horrible." He said, of course, he was lying, "Well, here is your room."

"Thanks…Goodnight, Connor."

"Goodnight Faith."
