Angel walked in to the Hyperion thinking about everything that he had just been told. It didn't seem real, none of it made sense; she was a vampire, with a soul. How meant to be was this? He asked himself.


"Angel" Cordy said seeing him walk down the steps, pulling him out of his thoughts. He looked up to see Lindsey standing starring at him.

"What the hell are you doin here?" Angel asked


"Angel" Fred began "he's come to ask for help"

"About Stacey?" Angel asked "there is no cure Lindsey, she is what she is" Angel told him "and you helped make her that and she doesn't want help"

"What are you talking about?" Gunn asked them both.

"Get out Lindsey go back and look after your fiancé" Angel told him walking up the stairs to his room.

"If Wolfram and Hart find out about this they'll hunt her down kill her and dissect her like a frog in a biology class" Lindsey explained trying to get Angel's attention.

"She'd kill them before they had the chance" Angel said half way up the stairs "unless you were helping them, are you?" Angel inquired looking at Lindsey.


"I want you to protect her" Lindsey said avoiding the question "she needs someone to watch her back, you know I wouldn't come here unless it was a matter of life or death, I'm beginning Angel"

"Lindsey, she doesn't want help and I can't help what do you expect me to do? Heat up her blood?"


"she's like you, you understand what she's going through" Lindsey pleaded.

"If she wants help she will come here, she knows where I am" Angel said continuing up the stairs.

Angel sat in his chair again starring at the wall; he couldn't get her out of his head. Her game face showing. It probably would have been easier if she was evil and he had staked her.

"You ok?" he jumped, he had been so deep in his thoughts that he hadn't heard Cordy, Wes, Gunn and Fred enter the room.

"Yeah" Angel answered.

"What happened?" Cordy asked sitting on his bed.

"She's a vampire," Angel explained starring to space not losing the image of her in his head "she was bitten like a week ago, apparently slayers keep their souls, and she's engaged to Lindsey"

"Er… Angel" Wesley said awkwardly

"What?" Angel asked looking at him

"You er… you vamped out" Wesley told him, Angel felt his forehead, Wesley was right, Angel was pissed off and it showed when the demon in him revealed itself. She was engaged to Lindsey, he made her a vampire but still she loved him.

"It does make sense" Fred said "he helped her and he's known her for ages, she probably sees a different side of him than we do"

"He's a heartless bastard what ever side of him you see" Angel said losing his game face.

"so go back there Angel, don't give her a choice tell her she's coming here and your gonna help her through this, we all noticed you two are alike and that means that she's stubborn and won't ask for help when she really needs it. Think about it she's gonna need a real friend right now, someone who understands what she's going through" Cordy explained to him.


"she's got Lindsey" Angel informed her

"Please when you got your soul back was Darla the first person you went to see?" Gunn asked

"Yeah" Angel remembered

"Oh" Gunn

Stacey sat in the Lindsey's apartment in the dark, all the lights out, the curtains closed. She had travelled through the sewers still not sure if she could walk in daylight. She sat drinking a small glass of Jack Daniels, it wasn't affecting her in anyway, alcohol doesn't affect vampires, she cursed herself.

She topped up her glass then drank the contents without taking a breath, because vampires don't breathe. She told herself. She decided it was about time to see if she could walk in daylight. She walked to the curtains, took a sip of Jack Daniels, then flung open the curtains, she covered her face quickly, scared. The felt the sun on her skin, she moved her arms and smiled as the sun caressed her face. She heard the keys rattle in the door then it opened letting in light from the hallway.

"Hey" Lindsey said sighing seeing her staring at him.

"Hey babe" she greeted him as she normally did. He walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead then turned on the light.

"What happened?" he asked seeing her face covered in bruises.

"Nothin I couldn't handle"


"it's a little early to be drinking isn't it?" he asked walking to the open kitchen he could still see her face. He knew something was wrong, it was written all over her face. He just didn't want to ask.

"I'm leaving Lindsey" She told him once he had poured himself a coffee. "I'm leaving L.A going somewhere else, starting over, and I want you to come with me, leave Wolfram and Hart, leave everything behind, forget everything, just be us, we can get married, start a family, live in a nice quiet town, where no one knows us, every talks to you and asks about the weather even though they don't know your name"

"Could you stop being a slayer? Not fight demons. Leave Lilah?" he asked as she stood up.

"I've been fighting demons and things that go bump in the night since I was 16, I don't want that anymore, I want you and only you…" she said as he walked over to her,

"And a nice quiet town, where no one knows us?" he asked putting his arms gently around her waist

"And a little Lindsey" she said moving closer to his lips.

"And maybe a little Stacey?" he asked before placing his lips on hers. "I can't just leave Wolfram and Hart" he said parting from her lips, not wanting to.

"That's why I snuck in today and stole these" she said picking up some papers that were lay next to where she was sitting.

"What are they?" Lindsey asked reading them.

"It's Wolfram and Hart's plan for Angel" Stacey explained

"How did you get these?" he asked taking his arms from around her and reading them.

"The black eyes explain most of it"

"And if Angel got them it could change history, literally," Lindsey said reading parts of the papers.

"exactly" she said "my plan is, we go tonight, when we get to wherever it is that we are going, we fax them to Lilah with a little note from us, then we disappear, never to be seen again" he looked in to her eyes.

"You're serious about this?" he asked

"Like a hole in the head" she told him.

Lilah sat typing away at her computer as a fax came through her machine. She took the piece of paper and read it. She rushed out of her office and down the hall. She barged in to Harlem's office without knocking.


"Excuse me Mrs. Morgan you seem to have lost your manners" Harlem said looking up from the papers he was reading.

"Sorry sir but it's an emergency" she explained "Lindsey and Stacey have gone, for good, and if we send anyone after them they have information that could wreck everything for the company, about the companies plans for Angel, they say they will show him" she told Harlem.

"They can't possibly have that information…" Harlem said as Wolfram and Hart member of staff entered the office.


"sir, the senior partners wish to see you, the plans for Angel have been stolen" they explained.

Harlem and Lilah made eye contact.


"have a nice life sis" Lilah said quietly.

Angel walked to the motel room, going over his speech in his head your coming back to the hotel whether you like it or not, you need a friend right now and I want to be that friend. He knocked on the door… no answer. He knocked again…nothing. He tried opening the door, it was locked. He forced the door and it opened. He looked around, no one in, didn't look like anyone had been there all day. He walked over to the dressing table. He picked up the picture of the Glack demon that lay staring at him. He turned it over, to see the word:
