Like a hell family.
Chapter 5: Amazing news.
He opened his eyes, it was dark but he had put up black curtain so it was always dark. He looked at his alarm clock; it's his father who had wanted that he had an alarm clock but what for? He went to bed when he was tired and woke up when he woke up.
It was four p.m; he had slept more than twelve hours. He got up, he would like sleep more, anyway the only thing he did was hunt vampires and others and so that was during the night.
He had been waked up by knock noises. Usually he put his headphones on with music when he slept for be not disturbed by all the pacing up and down of the people who living in the hotel but he had no more batteries. He'll have to steal some. His father was always saying:
- "If you need something just ask" with a kind of smile across his face.
Connor didn't want to ask anything to him. He took care of himself since he was little so now he was eighteen he didn't go begin. Especially with Angel.
After all that he did to Angel he wondered why Angel continued to stick to him. Angel talked to him and sometimes showed authority like anything had happened.
Connor understood more and more this world. He understood the youngsters like this one he was before never had existed. He understood why Sunny shot up drugs for finally killed herself.
He opened the door of his room and saw Cordelia passed her head in the near doorway:
- "You see it now?!!!!" she screamed.
Connor thought that was great to have a strident voice bawling in his ears on waking, but of course its sarcasm. She looked at him:
- "Oh! We woke you up?" said her worried.
- "Whatever" he answered with disdain.
She looked like hurt. He was fed up with see her continually smiling at him and being nice. He could do or say everything he wanted she continued to smile. In less Angel didn't let all passed. But even Angel was spineless; Connor thought that with Holtz he'd have got since along time a couple of slaps and with the time the slaps changed to punches but Holtz was old and Connor really strong for a kid so he didn't even felt it, it's sure that with Angel he'd feel it.
He moved forward in the corridor. There were not a lot of lights in the hotel during the day. Everyone who lived in the hotel woke up and went to bed always at different hours so it was hard to know who was awake.
He went downstairs and saw Angel in the lobby with the urn in his hands scanning the ceiling. Connor was almost amused to see how much his father seemed ludicrous like that:
- "You didn't catch it yet?" Connor asked. Angel turned to him a face tense with rage.
- "We tried to sleep but he impeded us, if I catch it that gonna be terrible" said Angel very serious.
Connor let escaped a smile of amusement. That made less tense Angel's face; that made days that he didn't see his son smile.
- "Eh! You have two an hours lead over you're waking schedule" said Angel.
And yes, Connor woke up when the sun setting and after he went hunted during four or three hours. Then he came back home and ate or walked around in the hotel.
- "Yeah, but there are two mad people who run after a ghost who makes noise" said the kid.
- "Yes, well with the size of the building that gonna take time"
Connor shrugged.
- "So what you gonna do?" asked Angel knowing that the answer won't make him jump for joy.
- "I gonna go for a stroll" And here we are! Exactly the kind of answers that didn't make Angel jump for joy:
- "that makes time you didn't go out during the day, you're not afraid to be lost?" kidded Angel.
- "Always less than you" replied Connor.
Angel was not hurt by Connor's remarks. Angel was in the habit of that and he wasn't angry with the kid. He knew how much people can be mean when they was desperate especially teenagers and especially Connor. Connor didn't realize how much he was fragile this time Angel could feel that in his heart, even if his heart didn't beat since he had Connor that was the same.
Connor went to the door went he hesitated for finally turned up:
- "I haven't for a long time" then he went outside.
Angel looked him went outside when Cordelia yelled:
- "You see it or not!!!" He took up again his ghost hunt.
Suddenly he saw it in a ceiling corner.
- "Yes it's there!" he screamed and then went slowly toward the poltergeist.
- "Don't move" he jumped but the poltergeist went away Angel fell down on his gut. He took up his head and saw shoes. He took up more and got up.
- "Buffy?!"
___________________________
He went in an area he knew well. He had squatted a little with young homelessness in a slum around here. He had his batteries in his pocket. He had stole it like usual. He had went in the little store had knock down a display and while the commercial picked that up he had took the batteries and ran outside. He ran really fast so the guy didn't even see him went outside.
He began to go back but he wanted to see first if that had moved around here. He wanted to link some contacts with youngsters like him. For did .... well.....young people stuff.
He arrived in the squat. He had made someone's acquaintance there were three or four days. He was nice but weird. Sometimes he had sung but they had talked and the guy gave to Connor the addresses of the places where he crashed. The guy had been surprised to see Connor gave a trashing to a big guy and dusted him. After the guy had puked and slept on the pavement and it's at this moment that Connor realized that the guy was drunk. That would have been obvious for anybody at the first glance but that was new for Connor.
He had seen his first smashed guy in the street. The guy was crying then laughing in asking to everybody to make to him a hug. Connor thought that was normal he wasn't used to see humans in his come back on earth. He had passed three months with Fred and Gunn but he passed all his time to spy them and read.
He looked quickly in the different rooms. There were people of all ages and all races. Not tracks of Jimbo. Yeah, anyway it's not like Connor couldn't live without him. He turned back and knocked against a girl:
- "I need sun, I need sun...." she was saying moving hysterically.
Visibly she was high. Connor got round her and went out.
In the beginning when he met junkies like her he replied to them believing that was normal but after the junkies followed him everywhere so he had stopped to talk to them understanding that they were crazy.
He took the hotel's road. When he arrived at the hotel he heard a stranger voice:
- "Oh, damn! They have a client" he thought he could enter discretely. He pushed the door and entered softly. He forgot all the time that his father had super ears, well, like him. Besides Connor's super ears came from Angel.
- "Connor come here!" he called him.
Suddenly the young woman made a jump of her seat. Standing she looked Connor like he was the last person on earth.
- "Connor, it's Buffy" Angel told.
The girl was little, blonde, pretty and.....weird. She approached.
- "Hello.....Oh! My god!!" Connor didn't wait that she said that after hello. And so loud.
- "Sorry!" she said placing her hand on her mouth "But how?!"
- "I've explained to you" said Angel to her.
- "I know and I perfectly understood, it's just I haven't could stop myself" said Buffy.
Connor said nothing, he didn't understand a lot and in fact he didn't care. He just wanted to go in his room to get changed his clothes and go on patrol when the girl approached to him and held her hand up to him:
- "Im Buffy, the vampire slayer" then she faced to Angel still her hand held up to Connor, she whispered to Angel:
- "Maybe said that Im the vampire slayer was stupid, no?" Angel smiled to her knowing that Connor had heard all and even if she whispered.
- "Like Faith?" asked Connor.
- " Yes...and...no" replied Buffy.
Connor shacked Buffy's hand quickly. Then nobody said a word during a minute until the time when Cordelia broke the silence:
- "Buffy is an old friend"
- "Whose one?" said Connor. Angel believed have heard arrogance in his ton but he always heard that when Connor opened his mouth, maybe that was just his kind of talk.
- "Of Angel. And Cordelia too" the little blonde answered.
- "Well for a vampire you've got a lot of friends" said Connor to Angel.
- "you'd have too if you went off of your bed for make something else than fight" said Angel slowly; he didn't want that Buffy assist at one of their frequent fights.
- "I had but one's dead of an overdose and an other's missing" said Connor, but it was hard to say if he was serious or arrogant.
- "My little sister has disappeared there is two nights, here in L.A, I came for ask Angel's help" explained the girl.
- "Ah...sorry....and good luck"
- "You could help us" attempted Angel.
- "I have to patrol" answered Connor and then went upstairs in his room. Angel didn't know anymore what he could do for give again to Connor the desire to help.
- "There are Gunn and Fred too in the team, I will introduce them to you, well...when there gonna be here. Gunn inquest on a disappearance of a teen too and Fred does something....... personal"
- "And Wesley?" asked Buffy. Angel looked down when Cordy answered:
- "He doesn't work too much with us"
- "Ah..." said Buffy looking Angel.
- "If the kidnapers are after the key, maybe Giles can help" told Angel.
- "No, I prefer he stays to Sunnydale with Willow, she had big troubles recently she needs to be with people"
- "Is she ok?" asked Cordelia concerned.
- "Yes, but she tried to destruct the world"
- "Well and me who thought that we are the only who became crazy"
- "The night is falling so we gonna first take info at the narks around here" said Angel when suddenly the couch starting to fly, Buffy opened her eyes wide "Oh yes. There's that too"
- "I take care of that, go" said Cordy.

She went forward in the corridor; she remembered the number of the door. She took a big breath, put her in front of the door and knocked. The door opened:
- "Oh no, not again" she sighed.
She entered slowly inside looking around. She arrived in the living room and saw......
- "Faith!" screamed Wes.
.....Wesley and Fred smooched on the couch.
- "Oh! Im sorry! The door was opened I thought there was a problem coz that happened to me last night and...whatever. I let you." Turning back.
- "Wait! What you wanted?"
- "That can wait tomorrow, Im sorry" she went outside fast and closed the door softly.
- "Im the queen. Crap! Always the same!"
________________________________________
Fred jumped down of the coach:
- "Oh god! She saw us!"
- "Yes and so?"
She was so confuse, she had so changed of what she was before. She didn't recognise her anymore:
- "I don't want everybody know"
- "Why? You're afraid they think that you become depraved"
- "Wesley!!"
- "What! If you want don't be with me so much return with your fucking Othello!!"
- "You have so much changed"
- "Yes but what I feel for you it's always the same like in the beginning"
- "I don't know where I am"
- "That it's the best way for say I let you!"
- "You can be so ridiculous sometimes! ยป she caught her jacket and burst out.
Wesley sighed, got up and went to his bar took a glass and a bottle of scotch. He helped him a glass of scotch and drank it. Then put down the glass and drank directly to the bottle.

After the departure of Buffy and Angel, Cordelia tried to catch the little poltergeist but didn't arrive to do. Lorne went downstairs.
- "Still trying to catch Casper?"
- "Im exhausted to that"
- "I know somebody who can catch it for you like that" he said snapping his fingers.
- "that becomes ridiculous, we had paid us for catch it and now we need to pay someone for catch it for us" said Cordelia.
- "It's that we called irony, sweetheart"
Connor went downstairs loud music in his headphones. Cordelia made him signs for he put it off, that he did:
- "It's crazy, you have super ears so why you listen that so loud?" said Lorne "I can hear this to here"
- "You're not my father" said Connor scornfully.
- "No, happy of. But if I was that made a long-time that I'd gave you a good spanking"
Connor rolled his eyes.
- "You know where you can shove' that!" the kid said.
- "Anyway, next that, you're okay? Your arm doesn't itch you this time?" asked Lorne petty.
Connor looked at him confused then Cordelia cut them:
- "We go search a guy for catch the ghost....."
- "It's not your job?" cut Connor.
- "Yes, but....well......you wanna come?" asked Cordelia.
- "No" then he went out.
Cordelia looked at him and then looked at Lorne:
- "In less it's clear."
- "Yeah, well not as much as that if you want my opinion" said Lorne looking worried the door that Connor just took.
