Conner followed Charli down the street wondering where on earth she was taking him.

"Here we are," Charli, who was out of breath, smiled.

Conner realized where she had taken him, "Why did you bring me to Angelus?" He asked the young Slayer.

"He isn't Angelus." Charli looked over her shoulder at him. As she knocked on the door she kept on looking over to make sure Conner was staying put. The door silently opened, but Charli didn't notice.

"OW!" The man that answered the door said as Charli accidentally hit him on the head.

"I'm sorry, but is Angel around?" Charli asked, with her face turning as pink as her hair.

"No, he is not back from his quest yet. But may I help you?" the man asked.

"Do you know where he is?" Charli asked.

"No I am sorry I don't." the man replied.

"Groo! Who is at the door?" A voice yelled from behind the door.

"Two teenagers looking for Angel!" the man named Groo replied.

"Who are they?" the mysterious voice yelled. Groo turned back to Charli and Conner.

"Might I ask, what are your names?" Groo asked politely as possible.

"Steven and a friend." Charli replied.

"Steven and one of his friends!" Groo yelled back.

"Steven???" They heard the voice murmur (both Charli and Conner had excellent hearing), and then they heard footsteps toward the door. A green hand reached around the door and pulled it further open, it was Lorne.

"Um, Hi?" Charli smiled at the green demon.

"Do I…" Lorne began.

"No, or maybe you do. I'm Charli. The singing Slayer from Quor-Toth, I sang at your bar Caritas once about a week ago." Charli smiled.

"You're the Slayer?" Groo asked, as the conversation went on he was getting very confused.

"Pretty much and from what I can tell this town really needs one." Charli said putting her hand on Conner's back.

"Why are we here?" Conner asked Charli very softly.

"We're gonna find Angel." Charli whispered.

"But…" Conner softly replied.

"No buts, not until later." Charli whispered, then softly laughing. Conner gave Charli a strange look, and then Charli shook her head no.

"So, do you two want to come in?" Lorne uncomfortably asked.

"Sure," Charli smiled as she gently leading Conner into Angel Investigations.

Charli and Conner stood in the lobby, waiting, for what, well it was different things. Charli was waiting on Angel to prove everything to her best friend. Conner was waiting because Charli always seemed to know what was best for him. The pair of warriors heard a sound outside; it was a car the young girl decided. Charli leaned over and looked out the window, it was an older black drop top and driving it was whom Charli recognized as Angel.

"Excuse us." Charli politely said leading Conner outside with her.

"Conner!" Angel exclaimed jumping out of his car and running over to his son. "I have something for you, Holtz wanted me to give it to you." Angel sadly said pulling the envelope out of his trench coat and handing it to Conner.

"How's the old man?" Charli asked.

"Did I miss something? Who are you?" Angel asked Charli.

"A friend." Charli replied looking up at the vampire. She quickly glanced over at Conner, he was crying. In two seconds Conner had drawn the stake out of his trench coat and stabbed at his real father. The stake was about to penetrate through Angel's dead flesh but with her superhuman speed Charli stopped the stake.

"Hey! No killing your dad!" Charli yelled at Conner.

Angel didn't know what to do, he was almost killed. If that girl hadn't been there he would have been dust, there wasn't any time for him to duck.
