"Jenny! Come on you gypsy bitch, let me in!"
Jenny ran to the phone and dialled Rupert. "Come on! Come on!" She let it ring and ring, still no answer. "Damn!" She tried the library. No answer there either. "Where is he?" She realised the hammering on her door had ended. Going over to the window, she looked out. Angelus was gone. Rubbing her forehead, Jenny went back to the phone. She needed to warn the others quickly. She dialled Willow.
"Hello?"
"Willow, it's Ms. Calendar. Angelus is back."
The young woman gasped. "Aare you sure?"
"Oh I'm sure. Do you know where Rupert is? I can't get hold of him."
"No, I don't. I think he and Buffy are out on patrol with Wesley. But I don't know where."
"Willow, phone Oz and warn him. I'll phone Xander."
"Okay."
"Oh, and Willow, you haven't let Angel in recently have you?"
"No."
"Good." Jenny ended the call and dialled Xander's number.
"Yup?"
"Xander it's Ms. Calendar. Angelus has just been here."
"Angelus? Wait, you do mean Angel right?"
"No, I wish I did. I mean Angelus. He was here."
"Oh God! Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Look, phone Cordelia and let her know will you? I'm gonna keep trying to get hold of Rupert."
"Right. No problem. You want me to come over there?"
"No, it isn't safe for you to be outside. Stay in. I'm fine Xander. He can't get me here." She ended the call and tried Rupert's again. Still no answer. Next she phoned the library again. . .no answer. She tried Buffy's number. The phone was picked up. Oddly, nobody spoke. "Buffy? Joyce?" Jenny asked into the phone.
"No, sorry Jenny, but they can't come to the phone right now."
"Angelus!"
"Right."
Jenny slammed the phone down. She was shaking. She spoke out-loud in an attempt to calm herself. "Okay, think Jenny. What should I do?" Picking the phone back up, she dialled Xander. As soon as he picked up she said, "Xander, Angelus is at Buffy's. I can't get hold of Rupert. Can you phone Oz, tell him to pick you up and both of you come over here? Bring all the weapons you've got. I'll keep trying to get hold of Rupert, but if I still haven't by the time you and Oz get here, we'll have to go without him."
"Okay. I'm on it." He hung up. Jenny immediately started to dial Rupert's home again. She spent the next few minutes alternating calling his home and the library. But by the time Oz' van pulled up, she still hadn't been able to reach him. She decided to phone Willow. Telling Willow where she was going with Xander and Oz, she asked her to keep trying to get hold of Rupert. Grabbing a bag, she then stuffed some crosses, holywater and stakes in it. That was all the weapons she had. Slinging her bag over her shoulder, she went to the door. Xander was waiting outside for her and escorted her to the van.
"So he's got Buffy and her mom?" Xander asked as they both got into the van.
"I don't know. I don't think he's got Buffy. Willow said she thought she was out patrolling with Rupert and Wesley. But Joyce. . ."
"Oh man, this is bad!" Xander punched the door of the van. "Ow!"
Oz' van pulled up to an abrupt stop in front of the Summers' residence. Xander jumped out of the van first and helped Jenny down. Oz joined them at the foot of the path, and crosses and stakes at the ready, together they cautiously approached the front door. The sound of a car pulling up caused them all to turn around. Wesley's black van had stopped behind Oz'. Buffy got out of the back, followed by Rupert. The passenger door opened and Joyce got out.
"Hey guys, what you doing here?" Buffy asked.
Before anyone could answer, Jenny felt herself being grabbed from behind. In surprise, she dropped the stake and cross she was holding. Oz and Xander turned to see Angelus had Jenny in his grasp. Moving quickly, Xander desperately thrust his cross at him. Laughing, Angelus just swatted Xander away, sending him reeling backwards onto the lawn. Oz slowly backed away from Angelus.
"Angel?" Buffy asked in disbelief. She moved forward up the path. Rupert followed beside her, horror in his eyes at the sight of Jenny in Angelus' merciless grasp.
"Stay where you are or I'll snap her neck," Angelus warned.
"Hhow? What happened?" Buffy asked.
"You didn't. . .?" Rupert asked, not taking his eyes off Jenny.
"No. I haven't slept with him. So how?"
"Well, gee, I don't know, but I'm back babe." Angelus grinned at her. Keeping one arm around Jenny's neck, he stroked Jenny's face. She closed her eyes in repulsion. "She's a looker Giles. I can see why you like fucking her. Maybe I should give her a try?"
Rupert made to move forward. "Now, now Giles, you don't want to do that." To emphasise his point, he took hold of Jenny's hair with one hand and with the other wrapped it around her, pulling her roughly against him.
Meanwhile, Oz was slowly inching his way behind Angelus. With a cross in one hand and a stake in the other, he was almost upon Angelus, when the vampire started to turn. Oz quickly shoved the stake into Angelus. The vampire roared as the stake went into his shoulder, missing the heart. One of his hands let go of Jenny to pull the stake out and get rid of Oz. But Oz wasn't done, he thrust the cross into the vampire's face. Angelus recoilled and let go of Jenny. Seeing her chance, she moved her body and kneed the vampire right in the groin. He growled in pain and doubling over, hit out at Jenny, catching her cheek and sending her flyiny sideways away from him. Unlike Xander, she hit the path.
Jenny ran to the phone and dialled Rupert. "Come on! Come on!" She let it ring and ring, still no answer. "Damn!" She tried the library. No answer there either. "Where is he?" She realised the hammering on her door had ended. Going over to the window, she looked out. Angelus was gone. Rubbing her forehead, Jenny went back to the phone.
