"Hey, what's with the intense discussion?" Willow interrupted them
before Lindsey could reply. She gave Lindsey a quick peck on the lips.
"Nothing. Cordelia was worried about making an impression on the other
parents." Lindsey wrapped an arm around Willow's waist and ignored
Angel. He didn't care what the vampire believed, he loved his wife and
all the staring in the world wasn't going to change that fact.
"They why don't we start with Pandora's parents. I think that's the
Halliwells talking to Ms. Foster." Willow pointed out a couple
standing up front by the young teacher. Another young woman approached
them and introduced herself to the teacher, holding out her hand with
a smile.

The cramped confines of a van was hardly the way Lilah preferred to
spend an evening, but she wanted to be on hand for this mission. No
one was going to filch the credit for capturing Angel's son and a
Charmed One's daughter. Lilah turned in her seat to look at the man
behind her who was busy studying a video screen. "Well?" she snapped
impatiently.
"The heat bugs are picking up five beings with a normal human body
temperature in the kitchen. There are no cold spots, so the vampire
has left the building. When do we give the signal for the recovery
team to move in?"
"Not yet. We'll wait until they settle in. Angel and Cordelia will be
occupied for a few hours yet. Besides the children, who is in the
hotel?"
"Visual recon recorded the aura reading demon leaving before supper.
He was followed to a bar where he's giving readings for clients. The
former watcher and their tech girl left to see a movie a half hour ago.
An unidentified female was seen entering the home with the Halliwell
girl and she hasn't left. That leaves the other person to be the black
operative."
"Damn." One of the Charmed Ones had stayed. Lilah took a deep breath.
It was just a snag, one that they were prepared for. The real power of
the Charmed Ones lay in the three of them together. "The recovery
team is equipped with the magic dampener and stun guns?"
"Yes."
"Tell them to hit both of the adults with the stun guns and to shoot
the adult female with a magic dampener as well as the girl." Lilah
glanced past the man to the cages behind him. Both were magically
reinforced so that the bars wouldn't bend or break no matter how
strong Angel's kid was and from one of them a talisman hung. It would
render the girl's magic useless once the magic dampener wore off.
Lilah couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. She couldn't wait for
the cages to be holding their captives. She only wished that they
still had cameras in place at the hotel so she could see Angel's face
when he realized that his son had been stolen from him.
