Summary - Angel gets nabbed by the Initiative, ends up in the cell next to Spike. Stuff happens, including confrontations with Riley. The Fang Gang shows up, and they save the day.
Timeline - Sanctuary happened, but The Yoko Factor didn't. Oz never showed back up, so Riley is still a member in good standing of the Initiative. Doyle's not dead.

Two and a half hours later, there was a knock on the door. When Giles opened it, there were four people there. Cordelia, Wesley, surprisingly enough, a short man with dark hair, and a tall, kind of scary black man. Giles gave them a nervous smile and gestured for them to come in.
Buffy, Xander, Anya, Willow, Tara, and Olivia were seated around the room. Giles cleared his throat. "For those of you who don't know, this is Buffy, Xander, Anya, Willow, Tara and Olivia, and I'm Giles."
Cordelia gestured. "I'm Cordelia, this is Doyle, Wesley, and Gunn. They work with me and Angel."
Buffy folded her arms across her chest. "We think that some of these commando type people are the ones who nabbed him."
Doyle spoke up now, an Irish lilt coming through in his voice. "How do we get him back?"
Buffy frowned. "I'm not exactly sure."
"Could we storm?" Gunn asked, wandering around the living room.
"For that to work, we'd have to know where they were," Xander said.
Cordelia plopped down on the couch between Olivia and Anya. "In this town? I'm betting underground."
Buffy sighed. "Yeah."
Gunn glanced up from the book whose cover he was staring at. "Why underground?"
Xander looked back at him. "We're talking about a town with fourteen million square miles of sewer, a lot of natural cave formations, and a gateway to hell under the old high school. Everything's underground." He paused. "Besides, where else would it be?"
***
Meanwhile, back in the Initiative's secret underground base.
Riley, Graham, and Forrest had returned from their fruitless patrol, and Riley was about to leave to prepare for his date with Buffy. He strode up to Spike's cell. "You were lying about Buffy."
Angel growled. "You'd like to believe that, wouldn't you, boy?"
Riley shook his head and left the room.
