Future~2005

"What are we going to do? We have to get him back." Angel growled.

"Calm down Angel. Growling and scaring us to death won't help. We know who has him. We just need to know where to find him." Cordelia said softly.

"He's my son. He's my...son and I won't lose him again." He shouted.

"Okay, so we look. Where could Morpheus have taken him?"

"I don't know. But I know who does."

"Willow, please hand me the sugar." Wesley asked, sitting across the table from Xander. He had moved to Sunnydale to be of some assistance after his fall out with Angel and Buffy's departure. The shrill of the phone almost made him drop the sugar. Willow answered it and her cheerful smile dropped.

"It's for you, Wes. It's Angel." Wes' face grew grim as he put the receiver to his ear.

"Where can I find a demon named Morpheus?" He pleaded.

"Well nice to hear from you too, Angel. Morpheus you say?"

"Yes, he has Conner and I need to know where he would go."

"I've heard of him and I could make a guess as to where he is but he is out of our jurisdiction."

"What do you mean by that? Are you gonna help me or not."

"Yes I am, but not the way you think. There are only two who can help you. Write down this number and call and ask for either Blade or Sharp. They can help you get your son. The number is....." And he hung up and sighed.

"Do you know what you just did?" Willow asked, stunned.

"Why yes. I just referred him to the best. The only people who can help him."

"Yea, but you also referred him to Buffy. I'd like to be a bug tapping that phone." Xander grinned.

"Whistler?"

"Over here Sharp. Blade's in the training room. He's taking care of routine stuff. You know, the serum. What can I get for you?"

"I left Dawn and Giles to patrol the campus she's studying at and they'll be here in an hour or so. We need to hit Club Rock Bottom tonight. There's going to be major vamp action and we won't wanna miss it. Bedsides, I have major irritations and angers to vent off. Can you get tall dark and rude guy out here?" She asked, taking her sweater off and throwing on her leather duster.

"Sure, wait right here, and..."

"Don't touch anything. I know." She smiled. She sat in a swivel chair and squirmed. She was always anxious before a fight. Slayer senses were going crazy. She reached over into the weapons cabinet and grabbed her favorite lucky laser. Tucking it comfortably in her waist she turned to the mirror. As usual, her makeup was flawless. A berry color delighted her lips and light eyeshadow. Her dark hair was tied back and in a low bun. She opted to remove her loop earrings to prevent another incident with those. She sighed and turned away. The phone rang, and she looked around. NO one there. Only her. She picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hello, I need to speak to either Blade or Sharp. It's an emergency." The male pleaded into the phone. Buffy froze. She'd know that voice anywhere. She wanted so badly to say she knew, but didn't. He seemed to have forgotten her voice anyway.

"This is Sharp. What can I do for you?" She almost whispered.

"My son. He's been kidnaped. I was told to get in contact with you. That you were the ones to get help from." Son? Angel had a son? Shit, she had been gone way too long. She'd have to talk to Willow about that one tidbit of info.

"You said your son? Well, tell me what you know." She encouraged. She sat and listened to him talk. His story grew more and more unbelievable. She sighed when he finished and there was a silence.

"I know who you're talking about. We can get your son. Mr.Angel? That's your name. I know your a detective and we could use your man power. This demon, Morpheus is not exactly legendary here, but he's known. He's evil. And we can defeat him. How soon can you come?"

"How soon can we get started?"

"Whenever you get here. Call me back at this number and we'll meet and get your son."

Thank you, and good bye."

"Hey Buffy, come on, we gotta go!" Blade yelled. Angel froze. He'd known there was something familiar about her voice.

"Goodbye." She hurried and clicked. "Oh my GOSH!!!!"

"What? What happened?" Blade asked, walking towards her.

"It was him? He's coming...here. Oh my gosh! What am I gonna wear. Wait! Because of you, he knows it was me."

"You mean Angel? Your vampire love-guy?"

"No, I mean Vin Diesel, my lover-guy. Duh! Angel's coming. His kid got kidnaped and he needs or help. What am I going to do Blade?"

"Well, right now, we're going to go kick some ass, after that, we'll talk about it. Fair?"

"Okay, yea, let me grab my phone."
