"So, this is the apartment building. Go in and use the elevator to take you to the 7th floor. Unless this is one of those places you have to talk to the person and they open the door for you. Let's go and see." He led her up to the front step and tried to open the door. "Yep. Looks like you're going to have to talk to him before you go up."

"That could be hard, cause I don't actually know this guy."

"I thought it was your brother?"

"No. This was his last known address so I'm coming here to hope that the guy can tell me where he is now."

"So, you're going to go into a strange guys apartment, in LA. People are weird in LA. Bad things happen."

"I know. I'll be careful. I've got protection in my bag; I'll be safe. It was nice meeting you Tyler."

"You too. And I'm not comfortable letting you go up there all by yourself."

Paige laughed at his stubbornness. "I'll be fine. Go home to Maggie, she probably misses her brother."

Before Tyler could reply, a piercing scream was heard in the distance. "So, I'll go and be careful, and maybe I'll see you round in LA again. Bye Paige." He left swiftly leaving Paige shocked.

She pressed the buzzer for apartment 7b and waited for a response. "Who is it?" Came a gruff voice over the speaker.

"I'm looking for a one Wesley Wydnam-Pryce." Paige's English accent took over, though she was trying hard to sound American.

"Are you with Angel Investigations?"

"No sir."

"If you're selling stuff, I don't want any."

"I'm not selling anything. I'm looking for my brother, Brandon Hart. He last address was here, living with a Wesley Wydnam-Pryce."

The buzzer clicked and the door opened. "Come up."

She walked into the elevator quite happy with herself. She selected the apartment she wanted and the elevator took her swiftly up there.

She found the right apartment after she left the elevator and knocked politely. The door opened a few inches and Paige saw the chain restraining the door from opening all the way.

"Wesley Wydnam-Pryce?"

"Yeah, who are you?"

"Paige Hart. I am Brandon's younger sister. Perhaps he mentioned me?"

"Yeah, think so. Listen, he doesn't live here any more so you can just run along."

"Oh, I figured he wouldn't. I was hoping you could give me his current address."

"He moved to a hotel quite some time ago. That's all I know."

"Could you write the address down for me please?"

She pushed the paper and pen into his hands through the gap in the door. He reluctantly scribbled the address down and forced it back to the other side of the door. "Thank you." Paige smiled at him and walked away down the hall to the elevator, leaving Wesley to shut the door and then lean against it.

Paige looked at her watch as she stepped out of the elevator. It was only 8:45. She still had a lot of time before she had to be home. She sat on the step beneath the entrance to the building. "April told me once I got his new address, I wasn't supposed to go there till next time. I don't have to be home till 11 and it's only 8:47. She's not going to know if I go find a club and have a party time" Paige debated with herself weather or not she wanted to go home so early.

"Paige, hey" Her head shot up at the words and she saw the form or Tyler running towards her.

"Hey, did you just come out?"

"Yeah, I got his new address."

"You want to go try it out?"

"Actually, I more want to party."

Tyler laughed. "A wild girl, I like."

"Thanks. So, where are the good clubs around here? I don't have to be home till 11."

He laughed again. "There's a pretty good one about a block over, if you want to try that one."

"Okay."

"And Paige? About the whole running off thing before,"

"Hey, Tyler, it's okay, you don't have to explain, it's okay."

"I wasn't going to explain, just going to say I'm sorry about that. If I explained, you'd think I was mad in a second."

"I'm pretty sure I wouldn't" They walked in silence for a block until Tyler stopped in front of a black building with at least three flashing neon signs.

"Wow."

"Come on." They walked up past the long line of people. "Uh Tyler? Shouldn't we join the line?"

"Nah, I know the bouncer."

"Oh, okay. Cool"

"Hey Tyler. There already inside."

"Cool thanks man."

Tyler led Paige through the open door and she was shocked. "This is so cool."

There was a live band playing on the stage bellowing out some rocky tune. People scattered the dance floor, dancing in groups. There were people seated at the tables drinking alcohol and other liquids. Tyler took them to the man standing on the side of the door. He pulled her hand out to him. He stamped a blue stamp. Tyler got one too.

"So they won't serve you alcohol." He told her as he led her to the bar.

"Two cokes." The barman nodded and accepted Tyler's note. He bought back two cokes and pushed them across the bar to Tyler and Paige.

"So, who's already inside?"

"Some friend's of mine. Come on."

She followed him up some stairs and onto a type of balcony, only occupied by two guys and a girl.

"Guys, this is Paige. Paige this is Julie, Caleb and Aidan."

Paige nodded at them and noticed they were all sort of looking at her oddly. "So, you want to dance Paige?"

"Uh, sure." He took her bag and dropped it on the floor next to Julie's feet. He leaned over to the three of them and spoke, just so Paige couldn't hear, "You look inside that, I stake you."

He stood up and pushed Paige gently by the shoulders from behind onto the dance floor.

"Drusilla?"

"Hello pretty kitty."

He spun round and held the cross up. Drusilla hissed at him.

"Boss wants you to remove a girl from the living world. Up for it?"

"Who is the pretty kitty?"

"A girl, in Sunnydale. Living with the Slayer and her boy toy, and the Key of course."

"Is she harmful? Can she harm the world?"

"Uh, no. But she's a threat and the boss want's her eliminated. Do you want the job or not?"

"Do I get a pretty feed after?"

"Yeah, I'm sure I can arrange that. Here's her address, get her while she's out on patrol, make sure there's other's with her so they can see. And whatever you do Dru, don't turn her."

"Okay, Dru will do pretty kitty a favor."

"Great. Get it done as soon as possible. And stop by the boss's place when it's done so we know okay?"

Dru cocked a smile and ran a hand down his cheek.

"What ya thinking about?" Faith ran her hands over Brandon's shoulders and down his front.

He sighed. "Paige. And the kind of girl she is now. And how I can get her out of that hell hole."

"I'm sure she'll be fine. And maybe we can go to England sometime and you can ride in on a white horse and rescue her?"

"Faith, that's not funny."

"Wasn't supposed to be. Now come to bed it's late."

"Okay, sure." They went up the stairs and closed the door to their room.

"Now, you have to be careful. There is obviously something out to get us and we don't want anyone getting hurt. Stick together and if vamps start out numbering you, run."

They set out in the cemetery in their teams. Gunn and Fred were with Alyssa. Buffy and Xander were with Connor and Madison. Angel and Cordy were with Blake and Dawn. Willow, Spike and Anya were with Bailey.

Gunn and Fred walked side by side with Alyssa a few paces ahead. She turned around. "Guys, I want to kill something" the whine in her voice was so strong.

"Alyssa!" Gunn yelled as a vamp jumped on her back from behind. She struggled but managed to force it away. Gunn and Fred ran over and Gunn staked the vamp instantly. Fred pulled Alyssa up off the ground by her wrist.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just a bit dusty."

"Such a pretty kitty." Drusilla emerged from the bushes and was standing next to Alyssa instantly. She ran her cold hand down Alyssa's cheek and she shivered. She waved her hand at Fred and Gunn and sent them flying onto two tombstones. She bought on her vamp face and bent down to Alyssa's neck. Before Alyssa could scream Drusilla bit sharply causing Alyssa to gasp. Drusilla kept drinking until Alyssa grew pale and her heart stopped.

"All done. Pretty kitty no more. Aww, no more pretty kitty." Drusilla dropped Alyssa's dead and pale body to the ground and vanished.

Gunn jumped up as soon as Drusilla vanished and ran to Alyssa. He fumbled for a pulse and stepped back hazy, when he found none. Willow, Spike, Anya ran out of behind a mausoleum closely followed by Bailey who was breathing harshly.

"Spike, heard a gasp. What, is? Oh god, Alyssa." Willow ushered Bailey away to where Fred was lying, knocked out. Anya and Spike went to where Gunn was standing. "Is she dead too?"

"Yeah." Gunn bent down and picked her up. "I've carried to many dead bodies in one week for a life time." He muttered to no one as he carried her to the cemetery exit. Willow got Spike to carry Fred home and they all walked out to the exit. They waited for the others to arrive. "Oh, god. Alyssa. Vamp?"

Gunn nodded. "Vamp. None other than the one and only, Drusilla."

"Drusilla's back?"

"Yeah, strong too."

The walk back to 1630 Revello was quiet with nothing but breathing, from those who did, to be heard. Angel called Faith and Brandon who, though angry at being woken, arrived quickly.

Bailey and Madison were sent to bed by Buffy but refused, saying they were a part of this too. They all sat around the lounge, some on the floor or the stairs, some on their partner's lap.

"Why'd did Dru vanish? Vamp's can't do that you know."

"I say she's got some power from somewhere. Like a magic wizard or something."

"Should we call Giles?"

"Nah, maybe in the morning. He proberly doesn't know much anyway."

They sat around for a little over an hour before deciding it would be best to go to bed. Angel, Cordelia, Connor, Faith, Brandon, Anya, Fred and Gunn left and Buffy ushered the two remaining girls and Dawn to bed.

"Pretty Kitty is no more."

"Are you sure? You didn't turn her did you?"

"No. Dru drank her and dropped her."

"Did anyone see you?"

"Two of them. Everyone will know by now, they were big mouths."

"Okay, nice work Dru. Keep in touch. Oh, you can get your payment on the way out."

"Thanks pretty boy."

He waved her off and she slandered off out the door, dragging the payment behind her.

"How would you like the next one eliminated boss?"

"Hmm. Demon. I don't mind which one. Try and get one that will do what you tell it and stop when it's told."

"When boss?"

"Two nights time."

"Okay, see you then"
