INT. WOLFRAM AND HART. DAY

IN THE BOARDROOM MANY WOLFRAM AND HART MEMBERS ARE WALKING AROUND LOOKING THROUGH SEVERAL HIGH TECH MONITORS AT THE EMPTY HOTEL. DREW IS WALKING AROUND GREETING PEOPLE

W&H SUIT

So the senior partners

sent you huh

DREW

That they did my friend

and they are about to witness

my first major business brilliance

LILAH

I don't see whats so brilliant

about it, and I thought

senior partners wanted Angel

alive not dead

W&H SUIT

Yes what is the position

on Angel with the senior

partners at the moment

DREW

(KEEPING HIS COOL FROM LILAHS JABS)

Well we want him alive and this

trap has been specifically built with his

agility and strength in mind. He should be able

to cope... his friends on the other hand

W&H SUIT

Aaah.. distract Angel with other matters

DREW

Thats right, and if they all make

it i guess I'll pay a little home visit

W&H SUIT

Well i wish your plan good luck

DREW

I assure you luck has no part in this

THE SUIT WALKS AWAY CONTENT WITH THE PLAN

LILAH

He's easily fooled..

I on the other hand

am not convinced

DREW

Well once you see it in action

you'll change your mind

(LEANS CLOSER AND WHISPERS)

And Ms Morgan.. if you critcize my

plans like that again, I'll kill you

LILAH

(TRYING TO HIDE FEAR)

Just... trying to offer

a little perspective

DREW

(BACK TO HAPPY MOOD)

And its very welcome

If you would excuse me

DREW WALKS UP TO THE MONITORS AND RAISES A GLASS

DREW

Welcome everyone,

as you all know

since he arrived in LA our friend

Angel has been a bit of a pain in our

necks.. not literally. (CROWD LAUGHS)

So I bring you here to witness

my triumph in action, I hope you enjoy

it as much as they will

DREW POINTS HIS HAND TO THE MONITOR AND THE CROWD STARES AT THE EMPTY HOTEL WHEN THE DOOR OPENS AND THE GANG ENTERS

CUT TO

INT. HYPERION HOTEL. DAY

THE GANG ENTERS THE HOTEL COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE WORK DONE TO THEIR HOTEL OR THE FACT THAT WOLFRAM AND HART IS WATCHING THEM

ANGEL

I still say there was

something wrong with that

mission, i mean Cordelia didn't

even get a vision

CORDELIA

I don't have to get visions

everytime something happens

ANGEL

But that seemed like something

the powers would want to tell us

GUNN

Tricky business those powers

WESLEY

Well theres no harm done,

we were paid and nothing

happened to us

CUT TO

DREW IS RELISHING EVERY WORD SPOKEN AND LOOKS AT THE CROWD

DREW

This is just great timing

for something to happen

the dramatic irony, oh i could go

on...

But we have deaths to make happen

HE PRESSES A BUTTON AND LOOKS BACK AT THE MONITOR

DREW

Its starting

CUT TO

THE GANG IS STILL TALKING WHEN SUDDENLY A PULSE FILLS THE HOTEL AND SENDS THE GANG FLYING IN ALL DIRECTIONS

GUNN

That don't usually happen

ANGEL

Is everyone OK?

CORDELIA

(GETTING UP) Yeah I'm..

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

CORDELIA SEES THE ROOM IS FILLED WITH DEMONS

CORDELIA

ANGEL!!!

THE REST OF THE GANG RISES AND SEES THE DEMONS ROAMING AROUND

ANGEL

Oh the fun never stops

WESLEY

I'll go get the weapons

ANGEL

Gunn! lets get them

GUNN

Right

GUNN AND ANGEL RUN AT THE DEMONS WHILE WESLEY TRIES TO SNEAK TO THE WEAPONS CHEST. CORDELIA GOES AS WELL. THE 5 DEMONS SPREAD AND DRAW SWORDS

CORDELIA

They have swords!!

CORDELIA RUNS BACK TO HER SPOT.

ANGEL

Wes, how are the weapons coming

WESLEY

Not good I'm in a little bother

WESLEY IS AMBUSHED BY A DEMON. HE GOES TO PUNCH IT BUT THE DEMON GRABS HIS HAND AND THROWS HIM INTO THE WEAPONS CUPBOARD SHATTERING THE GLASS.

WESLEY

(HURT) Well, at least I

got the weapons

WESLEY PICKS UP A CROSSBOW AND FIRES IT AT THE DEMON THAT THREW HIM. IT HITS HIM AND HE FALLS TO THE GROUND

WESLEY

Angel, weapons

coming

GUNN

Send some my way to English

WESLEY THROWS A SWORD TO ANGE WHO CATCHES IT JUST IN TIME TO BLOCK THE DEMONS SWORD. HE DUCKS AND KICKS THE DEMON IN THE LEGS WHO STUMBLES. ANGEL STABS THROUGH HIM.

CUT TO GUNN FIGHTING WITH AN AXE. THE DEMON HITS GUNN IN THE HEAD BEFORE HE HAS A CHANCE TO SWING THE AXE AND IS KNOCKED TO THE GROUND.

DEMON

DIE!!!!

GUNN

Not today big guy

HE ROLLS AWAY AND PICKS UP THE AXE AND SWINGS IT INTO THE DEMON

GUNN

But thanks for trying

CORDELIA IS COWERING IN A CORNER AND SCREAMS WHEN A DEMON SPOTS HER

WESLEY

Cordelia!!!!

HE SLIDES A SWORD ACROSS THE GROUND AND SHE PICKS IT UP

CORDELIA

Now I've just gotta focus

CORDELIA RISES UP AND SWINGS THE SWORD AND IT CLASHES WITH THE DEMONS. THEY HAVE A BRIEF SWORDPLAY BEFORE ANGEL THROWS ANOTHER DEMON INTO CORDELIAS ONE AND THEY BOTH FALL TO THE GROUND. CORDELIA THRUSTS THE SWORD THROUGH BOTH OF THEM. THE GANG LOOKS AROUND TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO MORE.

CORDELIA

Gross... What the hell

is going on here!!!

WESLEY

I don't know, it was very

peculiar, they all just appeared

from nowhere

ANGEL

Well that means we have to hit

the books. Find out why this would

happen.

GUNN

And what are you gonna do

ANGEL

I'm gonna go back to the mall

see if that guy knows

about this.

WESLEY

You think it was a trap??

ANGEL

I've been in the game too

long not to expect it...

Find what you can

ANGEL GOES TO LEAVE BUT THE FRONT DOOR SEALS SHUT AND IS OVERFLOWED BY A WALL.

ANGEL

(Hits the Door)

See? a trap, i knew

that mall was different

WESLEY

Well you might

as well join the research team

now. Lets go to the office

WESLEY WALKS TOWARD THE OFFICE BUT SUDDENLY SWORDS EMERGE FROM THE GROUND RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM AND GASH HIS LEG.

WESLEY

(CLUTCHING HIS LEG)

Well I guess we're in trouble

ANGEL

Wes... RUN!!!

MORE SWORDS START EMERGING FROM THE FLOOR AND WESLEY TRIES TO OUTRUN THEM. THEY ALL CLAMBER UP ON THE DESK TO TAKE COVER

GUNN

What the hell is going on!

ANGEL

Wolfram and Hart....

WESLEY

Wolfram and Hart, how can you be sure

ANGEL

This stinks of them, high tech

magics and booby traps,

very law firm thing to do

CORDELIA

Well how much can we

do sitting on this desk, we

need to stop it

ANGEL

We can't for now

We need to sit tight

CORDELIA

But this could go on for a

long time you know

.. sitting here on this

cramped... aaaahhh

A GIANT HAND EMERGES AND SNATCHES CORDELIA AND SUCKS HER INTO THE WALL

ANGEL

CORDY!!!!

We have to get her back

WESLEY

Well, we'll need to be quick footed to

get into the office

ANGEL

Well then I'll go alone

Swords can't kill me

they should do their research

ANGEL LEAPS OFF THE DESK AND OUTRUNS THE SWORDS AND DIVES INTO THE OFFICE

GUNN

Yo what do we do

WESLEY

Sit tight and try to stay

alive, its all we can do

GUNN

Well Angel better get back soon

FADE OUT
