"Angel?" Jason asked as he came into the mansion.

There was no response.

"Maybe he's not here." Kate said.

"It's daytime, he can't go out side." Jason said. "Dad?" He asked again.

"Why are you here?" Angel asked from behind them.

"Don't do that!" Jason screamed.

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you so what are you doing here?" Angel asked again.

"I came to talk to you." Jason said as he followed him to the couch.

"What's there to talk about?" Angel asked.

"So that's how this is going to be. You come all the way out here and you're not even going to talk to me?" Jason asked.

"When I came out here you told me you were my son and now your mother is telling me you're not."

"She's lying." Jason said.

"That's what I think too but I'm not sure. I've got no proof." Angel said.

"How's the fact that I'm one of the best vamp fighter there ever was, that's got to mean that I don't just have some normal father's blood going through me. I have yours."

"Your mother is the slayer you get that from her."

"No I don't, I get this from you. I get the whole not being able to sleep at night, always wanting to fight before I think and always wanting to save the people I love at no cost." Jason said.

"Look, your mother obviously has a reason for thinking I'm not your father, maybe it's a good one."

"No it isn't. She is probably just scared of having to deal with you again. She would probably rather believe that you aren't my father than accept the truth that you are."

"But until she tells me I am your father than I can't keep… getting close to you because then I'm hurting her and that's not fair."

"You're hurt her being away. You are hurting her being near her. That's all you ever do is hurt her."

"Well I'm sorry about that and I'm sorry about this but Jason if you don't leave I'm going to have to call your mother and tell her you're here."

"Fine, I'm going!" Jason said as he left with Kate.

"Hello?" Buffy asked as she picked up the phone.

"Ms. Summers this is Principal Cain."

"I know I recognize your voice." Buffy said annoyed and put her hand over the phone. "It's the principal." She whispered to Willow and Oz.

"What's he want?" Willow asked.

"Is there something wrong Mr. Cain?" Buffy asked.

"First I was wondering is Mr. and Mrs. Osborne were there with you."

"Yes they are. Now can you please tell me what's going on?" Buffy said worried.

"It seems that both your son and the Osborne's daughter left campus today which as you very well know is against school policy."

"Yes, I know that. Did they tell you where they went?" Buffy asked.

"No, they claim they just went for a walk and accidentally left the campus. Of course, I don't believe either one of them but that shouldn't be much of a surprise."

"Can you get the point please?" Buffy begged.

"The point is they are both getting detention for this. If I could enforce a harder punishment I would but that's the most I could do."

"Of course, you would."

"Now this should be stopped unless you want him to turn out to have a life like you."

"What are you implying?"

"I've read your file Ms. Summers and let me tell even though it would make a very good novel it makes a horrible life."

"I'm not a student there any more and so you shouldn't be reading my file."

"Actually I have access and every right to read all past, present and future students files. And as you probably already know your son's file is starting to look a lot like yours, and just like you he's starting to take innocent people down with him."

"I'll take to him when he gets home."

"You always say that but you never do anything. You need to try something else obviously."

"You know Mr. Cain, your job is to be a principal to him when he's at your school and my job is to be a parent to him when he's home. So here's an idea: Keep your nose out of my job and my life!" Buffy said as she slammed the phone down.

"Ok, you just hung up on our child's principal and that's not good for us or our children." Willow said.

"I know but that man drives me crazy. He is personally going after Jason just because he does not like him. He has even read my file! He thinks that Jason is doomed to have a life just like mine."

"Yeah well some times our children do turn in to us but why does he care?" Oz asked.

"Because he thinks I'm an evil person for some reason. You know I think he's a demon."

"We already tested that theory and despite what we want him to be, he's not a demon. Now evil, that I do think he is but no he is not a demon. So what did he want any way?" Willow asked.

"He wanted to inform us that our kids left campus today during lunch and that when they came back they told him they had just gone for a walk and didn't realize they had left the campus. Of course he didn't believe them and they now have detention."

"They should just give the two of them a detention slip for the rest of their high school lives." Oz said.

"They don't do that, we would have gotten one if they did."

"So where do you think they went?" Willow asked.

"I have no clue. Any ideas?"

"Maybe Jason went to see his father." Oz said.

Willow elbowed him.

"It's ok Will, look Oz I just discussed this with Will and as I told her I know that Angel isn't his father."

"Then who is?" Oz asked.

"It's down to either Riley or Parker."

"He doesn't look like Parker, thank God and he doesn't look like Riley either." Willow said.

"But he's got vampire hearing like Angel." Oz pointed out.

"Hey pass me that book." Cordy said to Anya.

"Sure, here. I can't get anything from it." Anya said as she handed it to her.

"Hey guys!" Cordy screamed as she started to get a vision.

"What? What's going on?" Xander asked.

"She just had a vision." Wesley pointed out.

"Well Giles you don't have to wait on Jason to have another dream. I just saw him myself." Cordy said sadly.

"And why do I get the idea I'm not going to like what you saw?" Giles asked sarcastically.
