*******Now It Begins*******
Buffy looked at the Angelus O'Connor file once again scanning quickly all the written Information on him, his crime and the arrest.
"Wait. This wasn't your first rape victim." she spoke to him. Angelus stared as if he was unwilling to speak.
"Well care to explain then?" she enquired.
"Look Ms. Summer -"
Cutting him off she told Angelus, "Buffy. My name is Buffy."
"Alright Buffy. I think this interview would go much smoother if you let me start at the beginning as I thought we agreed to before."
"Do as you like then", Buffy stated sighing.
"Might want to listen carefully and jot down some notes. They could come in handy later", he smiled at her wickedly. Taking his own careful note at the way her beautiful full lips had become somewhat pouty.
"Don't tell me how to do my job and I wont tell you how to do yours." Angelus nodded his head toward her.
"So begin, cause honestly and not to be rude or anything, you really don't have a lot of time."
"So then don't interrupt", Angelus warned Buffy.

***Flashback-January 2000***
"Alright settle down ladies and gentlemen and let me being my class. If you would like to continue talking take it outside. You know the rules folks."
"Come on O'Connor give us a break", one of the students in the back called out.
"I would Parker, but the last time Snyder almost caught us; so today for a change we actually do the whole learning process."
The whole class grunted. This wasn't usual O'Connor behavior. He was the coolest teacher. Always letting the kids goof off at time, though don't get it wrong Angelus was a great teacher to these kids, he taught them well and all they needed to know. Though he believed in a little fun, much unlike the headmaster Snyder, a psycho Nazi as some referred to him.
"Suck it up kids. It will be an easy lesson today."
It was a huge classroom. The walls were painted a relaxing pal yellow. There were many large windows surrounding the room on the right side. Chairs were lined up in all the rows. It looked as if sat over fifty people, though today, only a visible amount of thirty-five.
Angelus had been writing down text on the black board. Huge letters spelled out Psychology 101.
"First lesson of today and kids take notes, you'll need them. We are going to learn the basis of human emotion. What is does what it causes. What makes your mind connected to emotion. The reactions the-"
Angelus had been cut off when a young woman entered the class, glancing towards him once, and hurrying up the short stairs to take a seat in the back. Angel decided to let this one slip and continue on.
"As I was saying, all of today will be based on human emotion and the brains role in that. Take notes. There will be a quiz on Friday."
The entire class groaned yet again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About an hour and a half later Angelus had called the class dismissed when the bell had rung.
"Remember there's a quiz on Friday which will reflect heavily on your grade, I expect all of you to do well."
The students had piled out of the classroom eager to head to the cafeteria.
While shuffling and rearranging some papers on his brown square desk, Angel felt a presence as if he were now not alone. Turning around he found what he hadn't at all expected. He now stared at the face of a beautiful brunette.
"Gwen didn't see you there. Is there something you need?"
Honestly even though she wasn't necessarily his type she was very attractive. Big blue eyes, long brown hair that flowed down her back, she was wearing very tight dark red leather pants and a sleeve-less black top, with a cut in the middle so that her cleavage was almost pouring out. . A bit over dressed for school, Angelus thought, though that was Gwen's usual apparel.
"Actually yes, Mr. O'Connor. You see my grades haven't been so.spectacular, in all my classes."
"Well maybe a bit of that has to do with the fact of your being late all the time."
She moved closer to his desk, swaying her hips suggestively as she strolled over.
"Okay yes you caught me.", Gwen replied now inching closer to Angelus until she was mere inches away from him. Standing now completely in front of him.
"But I will do anything for my grades to be lifted." she spoke seductively putting her hand on his broad chest.
"Anything?" Angel asked her leaning into her almost as if he were to kiss her, but stopped so that they were facing each other rather more intimately.
"Yes. Anything." Gwen answered his question emphasizing her point.
Angel now stood from his position next to his desk and stepped behind her, putting his large hands on her tiny shoulders. He moved his head to almost touch the nape of her neck but didn't instead he quickly turned her around to meet his eyes. He could see lust her eyes, pure lust.
Smirking he told her, "Then maybe you should try studying."
With that he grabbed his brief case of his desk and was half way out of the classroom when he called to her.
"I expect you to be here nine am sharp tomorrow". And with that he left the class.
Leaving also a very angry, aroused, and pissed off Gwen Raiden.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Angel reached the college parking lot in search for his car. Finding where he parked his black convertible he headed towards it, opening the doors automatically with his beeper of a key.
"Angel?" yelled a voice.
Angel looked behind him to see a young blonde woman heading his way.
"Darla, what are you doing here, I thought we were going to meet on Tuesday?"
"God, I swear tracking you down is like searching for Jimmy Hoffa's body."
"Well give me credit for being slightly better looking than him", he laughed.
"Very funny O'Connor. We have to discuss these cases were taking on", she waved papers at his face, as if making her point.
"And I understand that completely Darla, but not tonight."
"Not tonight? Why in the hell not Angelus?"
He smiled, "Party in my honor remember?"
"Right the party to let you inner child out, now how could I possibly forget that. Tell me Angelus, is she even there?"
"She who?" Angelus asked irritated but knowing exactly who she meant.
"Who else but the mother of your child, Connor. Or have we forgotten him too?"
"Cordelia is out on business and you damn well know that so would you stop bringing it up every time. Now if you excuse me I have a son to be getting home to."
"Fine. Just fine. Leave me alone here to do all the work as always."
"I'll help you. I promise, later though. A later which isn't exactly today."
Angelus opened his car door and got inside; settling his brief case onto the empty passenger seat.
"I love you Darla. Remember that the next time you come here yelling at me because one of your guys doesn't cut it. In the long run it's me here for you, not anyone else. So don't treat me like shit when you know I'm going to be staying extra long hours just to help you finish. It's me Darla, I know better than you know yourself and the only reason you came here today to bitch at me is because you're upset. I understand that and I'm sorry. We'll talk later. Come to the party. I love ya Darla wipe the pout from your face, babe."
Darla looked at him, not touched by his words at all. "That your death bed speech?" she smirked.
"Always my love", Angelus laughed.
He drove off leaving Darla to sort out the rest of her problems and the case work.
