Chapter Five

"I told you so" Cordy said lying on the couch in the lobby. "I didn't trust her from the moment she moved in here, and now Mr. broody is back," she said looking up the stairs. Angel was in his room, the only reason he left was if Cordy had a vision, he would find the demon kill it then retreat back to his room.

"They really connected" Fred said "they knew each other so well"

"Please" Cordy said "he is so transparent"


"Cordy" Wesley said "he cared for her a lot and she's gone, been gone for 8 months now, no one knows where she is, and he feels responsible for that"

"Well he shouldn't it was all Lilah's fault, she's the one who drove her sister away" Cordy said

"Sounds to me like someone is missing Stacey" Gunn commented

"Am I that predictable?" Cordy asked "even though she was a conniving back stabbing bitch, I still liked her"

"I'm sure the feelings mutual" Lilah said walking in to the Hyperion.

"Oh look it's the other conniving back stabbing bitch" Cordy said standing up.

"I wanna talk to Angel" Lilah said walking down the few steps.

"Well you can't" Cordy said "he doesn't want to talk to you"

"Or anyone else for that matter" Gunn whispered to Fred.

"Look I'm sure if you tell him he'll be interested" Lilah said "It's about Stacey she needs his help"

"He's not interested" Cordy answered for him.

"Just give him this" Lilah said handing Cordelia an envelope, Lilah looked at the surroundings where she stood "no wonder she left" she commented before leaving the hotel.

"I'm not doing it, you do it" Cordy said handing the envelope to Wesley, as her, Wesley, Fred and Gunn stood outside Angel's bedroom door.

"You do it" Wesley said handing it to Fred.


"I'll do it" Gunn said snatching the envelope from Fred and knocking on the bedroom door, then just walking in. Angel was sat in his chair staring at a wall.

"Angel Lilah just came said she wanted to see you, she gave us this envelope, she said it was about Stacey" Gunn said blatantly placing the envelope on the table besides Angel's chair. Angel picked up the envelope and opened it like a child opening a present at Christmas.

He read it.

"It's an address" Angel told the Fang Gang who stood watching him in anticipation.

"So what are we waiting for?" Cordy asked "let's go get our friend back"

"If she wanted us to know where she was she would have come here" Angel told them

"And this could be a trap" Wesley agreed with Angel.

"So we'll just go watch her, a stake out" Gunn said

"Yeah we can take tea, cakes, listen to the radio, talk about things, like the cops do in films, they have really deep meaningful conversations on a stake out and they realize things they never knew before and then we can…"

"Fred honey, breathe" Cordy interrupted. 

"Sorry"


"ok Gunn and Fred you can go stake out the place, see what's happening, then we'll take our next move from there" Wesley gave out the orders as he, Cordy, Fred and Gunn began exiting the room.

"Angel" Cordy called "she said she needed your help" Cordy explained once he had looked up at her "I know you don't trust either of them right now but I know not even Lilah is stupid enough to come here unless it is something really important"

Angel stalked in the shadows watching the motel room closely. Yeah she's in trouble she lives in a cockroach haven. Angel thought to himself as a blacked out car pulled up outside the motel room. A tall man got out but went in to the room next door.
Angel was debating with himself whether to knock on her door, tell her he was here, she could probably already sense he was near, but he wasn't sure whether to make himself known or not. Sunrise was in 7 hours so if he was going to do it, he would have to do it soon.

Angel got bored of watching and decided to knock. He knocked loudly once, pretended she wasn't there and turned and walked away.


"Angel" he stopped in his tracks as he heard her call his name. "What are you doing here?" she asked

"Lilah came to the hotel said you needed help" Angel explained not turning around "I didn't believe her but I wanted to know for myself whether you were dead or alive, if you were ok"

"I'm ok, not alive but ok" she told him, he frowned as he turned around and looked at her.

"You're… you're a … a" he began but the words wouldn't come out

"Vampire" she finished for him.
