INT. HYPERION HOTEL. DAY

ANGEL IS WAITING AT THE DESK WHEN CORDELIA ENTERS.

CORDELIA

(ANNOYED) Look at this

SHE POINTS TO THE LOWER AREA OF HER SHIRT. ITS COVERED IN GREEN BLOOD

ANGEL

What

CORDELIA

What do you mean what

This stain didn't come out is

what. Its ruined.. and your asking for

more demons. If they ruin my new capri

pants I swear I'll have no choice but...

ANGEL

That blood will come out

you arent using the right stain

remover you gotta rinse it in warm...

GUNN ENTERS

GUNN

What y'all doing

ANGEL

Battle tactics, talking about

battle tactics

GUNN

Really? Sounded to me like

you were talking about

stain removal

CORDELIA

Well its an important issue

My shirt is ruined

ANGEL

Its not ruined it just

needs some..

GUNN

OK this is sucking the manliness

right out of me I'm off

ANGEL

No, wait what did you want

GUNN

Got a phone call from Wes

Said we had a job to do

and we should assemble here

ANGEL

I didnt get a call

besides, Wes isn't here yet

GUNN

Thought Englishmen were punctual

WES ENTERS WITH SOME BIG FOLDERS

WESLEY

Aahh good your all here

ANGEL

Whats going on Wes?

WESLEY

I received a phone call last night

for a paid job

CORDELIA

Paid?? Oh thats good news

Isn't that good news

GUNN

Whats the job?

WESLEY

Shopping Mall, apparently

some vampires have found a nesting

ground somewhere and aren't the

slightest bit averse to eating

the customers. We'll make

the first strike, a day blow

they should be asleep then..

ANGEL

So how can I help if we're going at day

WESLEY

Dont worry about a thing

according to the plans there will be no sunlight

exposure in the lair. So you are fit to go

GUNN

So when we leaving?

WESLEY

Now.. We're killing them

then meeting with the owner

So grab some weapons and angel

bring the blanket for the car ride

CORDELIA

A shopping mall??

(EXCITED) Maybe I could get a new

shirt with the money

ANGEL

You dont need a new shirt

you just have to..

CORDELIA

Oh come on Angel just

because you only have one outfit

doesn't mean the rest of us can be

unfashionable

ANGEL

(TO HIMSELF) I like my outfit

ANGEL THROWS THE BLANKET OVER HIMSELF AND THEY LEAVE. ONCE EVERYONE IS GONE 3 SWAT GUYS IN SUITS RAPPEL DOWN FROM THE CEILING.

SWAT 1

Is the target area clear?

SWAT 2

Affirmative

SWAT 3

We're ready to go

DREW ENTERS WITH LILAH AND A BUNCH OF TECHNICIANS

LILAH

Good plan. We attack

them while they aren't here

DREW

Sarcasm will get you nowhere

Miss Morgan.

LILAH

Well it seems you have

no plan so I have grounds

for critique

DREW

Never one to see the big picture

to be busy with your own personal agenda

to notice a master plan in action

LILAH

So what is the plan

DREW

The key to making the

enemy fear you is to make

them unable to feel safe anywhere

not even in their own home. I'm making sure

Angel realises that he is the hunted

not the hunter.

LILAH

Enough with the clichés

tell me the plan

DREW

Very well then. We are

going to rig this house to our needs.

Make him fear whats coming...

So lets get to work

FADE OUT.
