ANGEL

TICKED OFF

NOTE: I don't own any of these characters (it'd be cool if I did, though) except for those you don't recognize. They belong to the WB. They are WB characters alone. I know Fred use to be into the whole drug thing and Angel use to be a big bad boy. Give me a break. I'm trying to deal with typical teenage issues. And NEVER do drugs or liquor! I don't care how old you are. Stay away from them. They'll kill you! Not that I'm on the subject of bad things child abuse is also awful. Don't hurt your children, either. No matter how upset you get. That is all.

A/N: I've gotten a couple of reviews saying that Angel should be pissed at Connor for leaving the hotel when he was on punishment. Well, since all of you (and me) don't like the Connor/Cordy thing I'm doing this all for you (and me). Plus my reviewers have given me enough inspiration to make this story last a while longer. I still don't want any anti-spankers bugging me. I don't tell them how to punish in their fictions.

Summary: Angel and the others return to the hotel after fighting off the latest disgusting freak. When Angel finds Connor's gone (again), well, you can figure the rest out.







CHAPTER 26



"Oh, yuck," said Fred, as everyone entered the hotel. "Those giant worms made me want to puke, look at them again, and then puke some more."

"Join the club. I won't be eating that extra taco tonight," said Cordelia.

"Only women," said Gunn. "Scared of some worms."

"Oh, really?" said Lorne. "I could have sworn I heard you scream like a little girl yourself."

The room started to laugh. "Oh, shut up!" said Gunn.

"Guys, I'm going to check on Connor. We need to talk anyway," said Angel, with laughter still in him.

"Good luck," said Cordy.

Angel headed upstairs to Connor's room. A minute later he came back down. Everyone faced him. Angel looked like he was ready to snap someone's head off.

"What's wrong, man?" asked Gunn.

"Connor is gone," Angel announced.

"What? Again? Oh, this is ridiculous," said Fred.

"Do you still think he's being sincere, LORNE?" snapped Angel.

"Hey, I didn't say you had to believe me," said Lorne.

Connor kicked Rob down before he could bite the struggling Leslie. Rob fell to his back. Leslie helped Connor to his feet and they clung together.

"All right, you two. If you want to make this interesting then we'll make it interesting," said Rob.

"What do you mean?" asked Connor angrily.

"I mean, meet me here tomorrow night. That'll be a real fight," said Rob.

"We are not going to-" Leslie started.

"We'll be here," Connor cut in.

"Good. Catch you later. And enjoy your sleep tonight. It'll be the last time you're able to do it," said Rob. He ran off into the darkness.

"Connor, how could you be so stupid? You honestly want to meet him later?"

"Relax, Leslie. We'll have this covered," said Connor. "Come on. Let's go."

"Oh, fine," she grumbled.

Leslie and Connor headed out of the park with their weapons. Connor said, "I'm glad this is over for now. I might make it home before the fang gang does."
