A/N: Robert James Lee was a psychic that offered his services during the Ripper Investigations.

Part 13

William and Drusilla walked the back streets of London. Drusilla's tummy had been all growly so they went out for a bite to eat. Dru finished draining her victim and seemed to be listening to an inner voice. She turned to William, "The air is strong with secrets. The moon whispers to me. Psss, psss, psss."

"What's that, Dru?"

"The moon whispers to me, my William. It tells me all sorts of secrets."

"What's it say, pet?"

"Our family is going to change."

"I know that, Dru. Remember me telling you that I was going to bring Red into the family?"

"Mmmm, Red. Such darkness in her but also light. She will change our family. So many voices speaking to me, I don't know which ones to listen to."

"Who are all the voices?"

"So many different times and different ways. It's very hard to choose the right one. Will and Red, Angel and Darla, Angel and Dru, Dru and Darla which way is true?" she started twirling in a circle.

"What about you and me, Dru? You don't see us in the many different ways of our family being together?"

Drusilla stopped twirling and wagged her finger at William, "Oh I see you and me in one of the ways but that time has gone. No more, no more, no more."

William was confused about what Dru was babbling about. Usually he could interpret her ramblings but he didn't understand why he and Dru's time had gone and they were no more. He thought they were still close, sure not as close as they had been. But he still cared about her. He was captivated with Willow but he still wanted Dru in their family. He wanted to spend eternity with Dru AND Willow. He didn't really care if he spent eternity with Angelus or Darla.

They walked under the moonlight in silence for a while. Dru turned to William, "Don't be sad, my William. Everything will turn out how it's meant to be, you'll see."

"But you and I aren't meant to be now?"

"No more, my love. But we shall see what the stars have in store for us."

William thought about this. He wasn't sure if he was relieved or sad. He loved Dru but being with her could be draining. His Red was exciting, the combination of light and dark. It was thrilling to watch her walk the fine line of the two. He was no fool he knew that Angelus was just as captivated. He would have to think of a way to get Willow away from Angelus.

Robert James Lee woke up in a cold sweat. This was the third night he had these nightmares, or were they visions. When the murder of Annie Chapman made the paper he had been horrified. He had dreamt that very thing two nights before it happened. Now he was dreaming about madmen killing again. He never got to see their face but he has seen the face of the victims. He thought about going to the police but knew they would laugh at him.

Robert got shakily out of bed and went to the washstand to wipe his face. He splashed water on his face and looked at his reflection in the mirror. He was waging an inner battle with his conscience. Should he ignore the vision like he had the other two?

He thought about his vision and what he had seen. He saw a woman getting her throat slit by one man and another man pulling out a knife after she had fallen to the ground. There was a shout and a red haired lady running down the road with another man close behind. They caused the first two to leave. That was when he woke up.

Albert brought Willow to Scotland Yard to take a look at the sketch the police had done from Laddy's description. She couldn't believe she was actually sitting in the halls of Scotland Yard. This was so cool. If it hadn't been for the terrible circumstances Willow would be enjoying her time in Victorian England.

"Are you ready, Willow?" Albert asked.

She smiled and nodded. She rose from the chair she had been sitting in waiting for him to return from his talk with the Commissioner of Crime, Sir Thomas Winter.

"Sir Thomas is doing me a great favor letting you see the sketch. I told him that you heard one of the maids talking about a dark haired man at the scene and since you do charity work down there you thought you might have seen him."

"Thank you, Albert. I really appreciate this."

Albert opened the door to Sir Thomas' office. "Sir Thomas, may I present Miss Rosen."

He stood and nodded his head, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Rosen."

Willow gave a small curtsey. "Thank you, Sir Thomas."

"I understand from Sir Albert that you may recognize the person that was sketched."

"I hope so, Sir. I have recently helped Lady Giles in her charity work. We have spent some time in the Whitechapel area and I thought I might be able to recognize the man. I wanted to do anything I could to help you get this horrible man."

Sir Thomas smiled sympathetically and reached for the sketch. He handed it to Willow. She glanced down at it and hoped he hadn't been able to see her initial shock. Oh my God! It was Ethan Rayne.

This was the last thing she expected. She thought it would give her a clue as to what the vampire she was hunting looked like. Was he the Ripper? She didn't think so but with time travel you never know. As much as she hated Ethan she didn't think he had it in him to do the horrible things that the Ripper did.

She didn't put it past him to help Ripper or participate in some way but not to actually disembowel the women.

"Do you recognize this man?"

Willow continued to look at it. She was terrible at lying and if Sir Thomas had noticed her recognition she didn't want to compound it by lying. "He does look familiar but I can't place where I saw him. Might have been around the Ten Bells pub area."

"Thank you, Miss Rosen. You've been a great help." Sir Thomas took the sketch from Willow and turned to Albert. "Thank you Albert for bringing her. Maybe this will lead to something."

Albert waited until they were in his carriage before talking to Willow. "You really recognized him didn't you?"

"Yes, that's the man that came with me to London?"

"From your time?"

"Yes, I really don't think he committed the horrific acts but I think he might have helped."

"Do you know where he might be?"

"No, I haven't seen him since I arrived. The picture proves he's still here though. I wish I could find him. I tried a locater spell earlier but came up empty. Too many mystical people in the London area."

"What's his name? Maybe he has relatives in the area."

Willow debated whether to tell him the truth. Would this mess up Rupert and Ethan? Not that that was a bad thing considering all the badness that Ethan brought to Giles' life. Screw it, "Ethan. Ethan Rayne."

Albert thought a minute, "I'm not familiar with anyone with that last name but maybe Hannah knows them."

They exited the carriage and entered the town house. "Ian, where is Lady Hannah?"

"She is in the library, Sir."

"Thank you." Albert led Willow to the library.

"Hello, darling. How was your trip to Scotland Yard?" Hannah rose and gave Albert a kiss on the cheek.

"It turned out very well. Willow recognized the man in the sketch. She didn't say much to the police though. It seems the man came with Willow to London."

Hannah turned to look at Willow, "He was the cause of you being sent here?"

"Yes, I told Albert that I didn't think he committed the murders but he might have helped."

"Do you know anyone by the name of Rayne?" Albert asked Hannah.

She thought and then her eyes lit up. "Yes, I think I remember a Rayne from when I was a child. Let me think a minute. I seem to recall a family not too far from our country home that had that name. They were older than me so I didn't socialize with them much. Does that help?"

"Yes and No. Too bad he doesn't have relatives in the area for him to contact. It might be too much of a temptation for him to pass up, especially if he didn't come with money. Not everyone would be as fortunate as I was to meet up with you."

Hannah and Albert just smiled at her. Hannah came over and patted her on her shoulder, "Don't worry, Willow. I'm sure everything will turn out how it's meant to be, you'll see."
