Chapter 14: Waiting room second part.
Front of Hyperion - 9:00 p.m. (nearly)
WESLEY: (advancing to the door)
I have to take some of Angel's books. You'll tell him 'cause I don't want he tries to suffocate me again.
CORDELIA:
I don't think that it's his books that he afraid you to steal to him.
WESLEY:
I didn't steal his son; I tried to protect him, but that everybody doesn't care.
CORDELIA:
Yeah, to protect him of Angel, the stuff you didn't know it's we had to protect him of you too.
They enter and bump into somebody.
CORDELIA:
Crap!! You can't be careful!!!
LORNE:
Cordelia!
CORDELIA:
Lorne! It that you?! Of course it's you who that could be anyway. Wait a sec. you wasn't supposed to be on the case about the organs thieves?!
LORNE:
That was organs thieves!! He never said that these guys stole organs!
CORDELIA:
Why are you here, and where is Angel?
LORNE: (calmly like everything's alright)
Connor's stopped a bullet, he's in hospital with Angel, I bring blood there for Angel.
CORDELIA: (panicked)
What!! Oh my god!! He's alright?!
LORNE:
Yeah, he's ok, he woke up, he moaned like usual.
Wesley comes back with the books in his arms.
WESLEY:
I'd never believed that Angel can send his son on a case with guys carrying weapons.
LORNE:
That was supposed to be an easy case.
WESLEY:
Yeah, yeah.... - not very convinced - well I guess it's normal, after all, he sent him in the street so an extent that....
LORNE:
Why you say that?!
WESLEY:
No, it's just after all he did.... - trying to contain himself - for bring back him, it's weird that he did that, he has to don't forget that a lot of people are after the kid.
LORNE: (sarcastically)
It's your girlfriend who said you that?!
WESLEY:
Possible.
CORDELIA:
OH! Easy guys, the principal is everybody is ok, okay?
LORNE/WESLEY:
Of course! - looking at each other.
CORDELIA:
Oh! Angel must be worried and feels guilty. A new stuff he can add to his "I'm guilty, and I will brood about" list. (to Lorne) I come with you.
WESLEY:
I go translate the parchments.
LORNE:
Which parchments?
WESLEY:
Those we've stolen.
LORNE: (to Cordelia)
You have stolen parchments!?
CORDELIA:
Yeah, it's a story with a house and a basement oh, and spider's webs that soils my hair.
LORNE:
So when Angel's not here, you steal stuff, that's pretty, beauty!
CORDELIA:
Nobody ever said that to Indiana Jones when he steals lost relics!
CUT TO: Hospital - Lorne & Cordy arrive in the entry and advance toward the stairs. Like the first time everybody looks weirdly at Lorne.
CORDELIA:
You're flaunting.
LORNE:
Yeah, I know, but I have an appointment with the dermatologist, for Thursday.
They arrive in the recovery room. Angel's sat waiting. Connor's sleeping. Lorne gives to him the blood, seeing Cordelia Angel gets up, she hugs him and putts a hand on his cheek.
ANGEL: (smiling)
I'm alright, I've nothing - pointing Connor - he's here the severely wounded.
CORDELIA: (she looks at Connor with sad eyes)
Oh! Poor little thing!
LORNE: (rolling his eyes)
Poor little thing and we're talking about Connor, pity!
Suddenly, Connor in his sleep groans with pain lowly.
LORNE: (concerned)
Oh! Poor little thing! He's in pain!
ANGEL:
I know but we can give him more drugs - he says the word in whispering like it was taboo -
CORDELIA:
So, how he was when he woke up? What he said?
ANGEL:
Well, he didn't say "I love you" but the traditional "I want to go".
LORNE:
If comes close to death can't makes him more kind what can do?! - lancing glares to Angel - maybe a good spanking!
CORDELIA: (amused)
He'll be able to sue you.
ANGEL:
It's not a big deal, I know really good lawyers. - they laugh.
CUT TO: Hospital - recovery room - They are sat on three chairs in arc of a circle at Connor's bed's leg. Cordelia has a coffee, Angel a cup of blood, and Lorne something of his own invention.
CORDELIA:
I dislike hospitals that remind me the time when I was impaled. That was horrible, but the positive side it's that I lost weight.
ANGEL:
I'm used to be impaled. But I have the advantage to recover quickly. But I never lost weight 'cause of that. I'd like too.
Lorne & Cordelia look at him, amused and intrigued.
LORNE:
Well, I've never be impaled that makes to me the normal guy for once.
CONNOR (distant voice)
That can still change.
They get up and turn toward Connor. They don't realise that the time had passed. He was almost dawn. They approach to Connor.
CONNOR: (rubbing his eyes)
You talking like that you seem keeping vigil over a dead guy.
LORNE: (sarcastically)
Oh! No, we are not lucky enough for that.
CORDELIA:
How do you feel, baby?
CONNOR:
Good - grimacing with pain in trying to smile at her and the facing Lorne and glares badly at him.
ANGEL:
We have to go before the sun rises. - Connor look at him a little panicked - But we'll come back this afternoon, we can't stay permanently, they gonna bring you in a room today.
CONNOR: (coldly)
Don't care, I'm used to that.
ANGEL:
I don't have the choice...
CONNOR:
Yeah, whatever - he turns lightly in his side and pretends to ignore Angel.
ANGEL:
We come back around 2:00 - he looks at Connor sadly and goes out the room.
Focus on Connor's bed.
LORNE: (distant voice in the corridor)
Don't worry, he always does that.
Focus on Connor's face. He's sad and has shining eyes.
PC: An other bad stuff will happen to Connor and Cordy but Angel can't cut himself in half so who save? Chapter 15: A new big bad in town.
