"No. You can' t leave me." Anne cried.
"Grandpa Angel and I are just going for a short trip. You'll be fine with Grandma Cordy and Brian." Spike explained.
"You're going to L.A. to track down the vampire with a patch. He killed mom and dad in an ambush. What makes you think he won't kill you?" Anne glared. "Haven't I lost enough people in my life? I won't lose you too."
"That's why I'm taking Peaches, between the two of us we stand a better chance."
"Better chance of what, of one of you coming back, which one? I need to know how to prepare the family that is already grieving. It'll be easier if we know which one to expect back."
"Look I'm quite a few centuries older than you and according to your parents your guardian and if I say I'm going away for a few days I don't have to answer to you." Spike screamed becoming enraged. "Pet." He softened after he saw her face as she ran up the stairs and locked the door to her room. He knew it was a feudal gesture. That they both knew he could knock that door down easily. "Annie, I'm sorry, but this is something I feel I have to do and it's been a long time since someone was here trying to protect me."
"I can't loose another person. I hate this. I hate him for killing my parents and I hate the fact that no matter what I say you and Grandpa Angel are going after this guy. So since I have no choice I'll be downstairs with my packed suitcase in fifteen minutes, but it doesn't mean I have to like it or approve of what you're doing." As Spike was leaving, he heard her softly saying, "Please protect them on their quest."
No one had prayed for him in years and he could almost feel the power of the prayer working on him.

"Anne, how are you sweetie?" Cordy cried running down the stairs to hug her granddaughter. They both knew what Spike and Angel were up to and how dangerous this type of mission was. They were also both still recovering from the devastating loss of Tomorrow and Connor. "It's okay honey. I know. I know. We'll help each other pass the time." She soothed pushing a stray strand of hair out of Anne's face. "Come on our men have a mission and there are three UC Sunnydale students eagerly waiting to see you in the kitchen, where I believe we'll find some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies."
