________________________________________________
(If you'll remember a female voice said hello to Angel and who she thought was Willow. A.N.)
"Lilah what are you doing here?" Angel asked walking up behind Willow.
"Whose Lilah?" Willow asked Angel but before he could answer Lilah spoke first.
"I'm a lawyer from Wolfram and Hart...."
"Also the person trying to revert me to Angelus." Angel finished. "What do you want?" Angel said looking from Willow to Lilah.
"Well we all know that I'm not one to beat around the bush so I'll just say what I came here to say." Lilah said taking a seat on the couch. "It's Lindsey."
"What about Lindsey?" Faith said standing up ready to fight, but was calmed down by the calming looks from both Willow and Spike.
"Why the sudden act of caring? It's not like you." Angel said, looking from Faith to Lilah. He knew that Faith felt the need to help Lindsey because he helped her out of jail.
"Hey, I may not like the guy but I'm not heartless." She said as if she had to defend herself.
"Oh I thought that you were heartless, that's what you keep telling me. You also told me that Lindsey was too soft. Don't tell me that you've had enough of Wolfram and Hart?" Angel said almost half heartily.
"No I've given my life to them. It's the way I like it." Lilah said and was going to start talking again but Angel interrupted her.
"You see that's the difference between you and me. You don't care what happens to people but yourself...and yet I've got to go pick the pieces that you break. Give me one good reason why I should listen to you now." Angel finished but felt a hand on his arm and knew Willow was there.
"Angel, I know that you don't like the women but isn't it your job not to judge the people that you're supposed to be helping?" She asked her eyes never leaving his.
"Yeah, Angel..." Lilah began but was interrupted by Willow.
"Did I ask for your input? I don't think so. Does she always think that the world revolves around her?" Willow commented taking her eyes off of Angel.
"Always." Cordy replied speaking for the first time since Angel and Willow walked out of the office.
"No offence Cordy, but she reminds me of you when we were in high school." Willow said half jokingly.
"None taken...only because you're my friend now." Cordy replied giving Willow a smile.
"Can we get back to my problem now?" Lilah spoke up after feeling like she was being ignored.
"I see what you mean, Willow. She even feels ignored like I did." At that they both laughed, but stopped after Angel touched Willow's shoulder.
"Guy's, Lilah's still here and I don't think that she's going to leave until we hear what's she's got to say. Go ahead Lilah." Angel said calmly not really wanting to hear what she had to say but wanted her to leave ASAP.
^ Much Later ^
"I thought she'd never leave." Angel said after the door closed behind Lilah. "Do you think it's too late to go out now?" He asked looking at his watch.
"I don't know are you up to it?" Willow asked looking from Angel to the gang and back to Angel.
"What were you guys planning?" Cordy asked breaking into their conversation, knowing it was going to be an open from the way they were looking at them.
"What ever it is I'm game, after that I'm ready to go out and have some fun." Faith chimed in, getting up from the seat behind Cordy's desk.
"Me too." Spike said, now standing next to Faith.
"Well we were thinking of a movie or maybe dinner." Angel said, still in his seat on the desk.
"Sounds good. Lets get out of here." Cordy said, leading everyone out of the office.
^ After the Movie/Dinner ^
"It's getting late guys, maybe we should call it a night." Angel said, not wanting it to ever end.
"Angel's right, it is late. Cordy, can we..." Willow started but was interrupted by Cordy answering her question before it was fully asked.
"Stay at my place? Sure, it'd be great we could have like a slumber party. You guys don't mind sharing Angel's place do you?" Cordy asked, not really caring and answered for them. "Good. Than it's settled." She said, taking both girls arm and arm towards the car.
"Don't say it, boy." Angel said, knowing that Spike was going to say something stupid.
"Yes grand-sire." He said unexpectedly.
I don't like that tone, or what he's probably thinking. His last thoughts were before starting the car.
[Back at Angel Investigations]
"You can sleep here." Angel said as he put what few possessions of Spikes in the guest room that he just had placed in. "There is blood in the refrigerator and the bathroom is down the hall." He finished and started walking away then stopped, but changed his mind and kept walking towards his bedroom.
He said then undressed and crawled in to bed, but found his thoughts turning to a certain slayer at the seer's house.
[At Cordy's house]
"Sorry. I don't have much room, but it's a good apartment." She said placing the sleeping bags down, but letting the two decide where they wanted them.
"It's okay. You don't think that Dennis will mind us staying here do you?" Willow asked on her way to the bathroom.
"Who's Dennis??" Faith asked putting her sleeping bag down.
"Dennis is my ghost." Cordy answered and continued, "no I don't think he'll mind, because he let us in. When he doesn't like people, he'll usually shut the door and not let me in until they leave."
"So he's kind of like your watch dog, so to speak." Faith said sitting down on the couch and seconds later having a drink float her way. "Uh, thanks Dennis."
"Kind of. Thank you Dennis, you're such a doll." Cordy said taking the drink offered to her by her companion.
"Well I'm beat, after hearing that chick talk most of the night away and then going out. Not that it wasn't fun, but my bed for the night is calling to me." Willow said walking out of the bathroom.
"Mine too." Cordy agreed. "What about you Faith??"
"Not really, I usually don't sleep until way later. Maybe I'll go on patrol. I need to work off some of this energy. Dennis will let me back in right?" Faith said as if she was off in her own world and just came back.
"Sure he will. Are you sure you want to go alone? We could call Angel or Spike to go with you? Not that you need protection, but..." Cordy was saying when she was interrupted by Faith.
"I think I'll be fine. Thanks for worrying. If I need help I know where to go." Faith said smiling to let Cordy know that she understood what she was saying. With that Cordy let her out and gave her a key for when she came back.
^ Back at A.I. ^
Spike just couldn't settle down. He finally gave up and got dressed and went out for a walk.
Angel heard him leave but knowing Spike he trusted that he'd be okay, but also figured that he'd needed to burn off some of his energy. So he settled back in and his thoughts turned to the red head that had done so much and caught his attention.
^ On the Streets of LA ^
"I can't believe that I haven't run into any..." Faith started but was interrupted by a second party.
"Trouble? You want trouble well you're in the right place." The vamp in the shadows called.
"Gee, if I'd known that all I had to do was ask for trouble, I would have done that a long time ago." Faith said turning directly toward him.
"Slayer?" The vamp said after she turned around.
"The one, well not the only." She said, thinking of Buffy. "Now that you've answered to my call are we just going to stand here and talk or are we going to fight?" She finished and not a moment later he charged. She moved and he ran into the wall, but bounced back. They fought for a while until she was feeling more energized and staked him. Turning after feeling another vampire's presence going immediately into fighting stance.
"'ey, pet." Spike said.
"Hey, don't you know not to sneak up on a slayer like that?" She asked relaxing.
"Well you know, Buffy didn't have much of slayer sense. She was always a slow one." Spike said walking to the brunette slayer. "So you couldn't sleep either, could you??" He asked as the started walking.
"Nope, too wired. After hearing that chick talk it just made me want to get out and have some fun." Faith said looking from the street to the blonde and back to the street.
"So, was the only vamp you saw tonight?" Spike asked changing subjects.
"Yep, but we might not be so lucky." She said pointing towards the park. They both walk towards the vamps and stopped in front of them. "What's going on here? Can we join?" She said looking from the vamps to her blond companion.
"Guess not." He said as the first punch was thrown. One by one the vamps were dusted.
"Bravo." Said a deep voice behind them. He chuckled to see the slayer and the blond vampire turn to stand in fighting stance.
"Who are you?" Faith said noticing that there were more vampires standing behind the man who appeared to be in charge. Looking at Spike she knew that he was thinking the same thing.
"You must be Faith. The slayer that was set free because of Lindsey. Too bad you just didn't stay out of town, now we're just going to have to kill you." He said calmly focusing attention on Faith.
"I know you. You're the one that hired me to kill Angel." Faith calmly replied after she realized that she was lucky to get out of prison, but that it would take more than just luck for her to get out of this.
^ At the Seer's House ^
"Augggg...Dennis phone." The seer called waking Willow.
"Cordy, what is it?" Willow asked knowing that she had visions.
"Faith and Spike, surrounded by a dozen vamps and someone a person from Wolfram and Hart." Cordy said opening up her eyes. "Call Angel." She said getting up and going towards the bathroom.
"Yes Angel we're sure it's him." She paused, "Hold on, Cordy where are they?" She asked remembering that she hadn't told her.
"The park across the street from 4th and Darien. Tell him to hurry." She called from the bathroom.
"Yes we're fine, call us and let us know what happens." Willow said concerned about Faith but more concerned about the seer in the bathroom. "Ok, bye." She said hanging up the phone and knocking on the bathroom door. "Are you ok? I mean earth shattering vision, but are you okay."
"Normally I'd say I'm fine, but they seem to be getting worse." She said before braking down.
Opening up the door, Willow helped the seer back towards her bed. "It's okay Angel's on it. Faith..."
"Faith's not afraid of whatever will happen to her." She said looking down at her hands.
"What do you mean?" Willow asked, wondering how Cordy knows.
"My visions, usually I can feel exactly what the person is feeling. I didn't feel anything from Faith. No fear, nothing." She said looking at Willow. Seeing her vision again, she felt something different. "Wait, she's feeling love, it's so faint, I almost didn't sense it. It's more of she's not afraid for herself but she's afraid for Spike, like she wants him to live through it."
"Oh, wow. I knew they had a crush on each other but I didn't know it was like that." Willow said, and then chuckled at the memory of first night back to Sunnydale.
^ Back at the Park ^
"You would have liked me to stay away, wouldn't you? I mean then how else could I not get in your way of reverting Angel back to Angelus?" Faith said calmly.
"You're the ones behind trying to bring Angelus back? Do you have any idea what you'd be doing setting his demon free?" Spike asked, knowing that they had no idea he continued, "You think that by freeing him, he'll obey you. You have no idea who you're dealing with. He killed his own sire, you don't just bloody do that. It's not in you to kill your sire." Sensing a familiar presence he hid a grin.
"We know what we're doing. But now you both know too much and I'm going to have to kill you." Mr. Holland Manners said.
"Not so fast, Manners." Causing everyone to look behind them, except Spike who knew he was there. "I've got something to say about you killing my friends, and my child."
"Oh yeah what's that?" Holland asked
"Well it's simple really, you kill them and I'm going to have to kill you. I'll do it slowly too, that way it'll prolong your death and you'll be begging me to just kill you." Angel said and shot a wave of imagery down Faith's spine.
"Are you bloody sure you want him on your side. You think this is bad, you should see him when he's Angelus." Spike said, grinning in a way only Spike could do. Sensing fear rising in the man before them he had to wonder what was going to happen now.
"So, what's your decision?" Angel asked, half not caring. "Are you going to walk and live or stay and chance dieing?" Angel asked hoping for a fight, because now he was angry.
With that Holland signaled for the vamps to attack and he walked away. Again, one by one the vamps were dusted just in time for the sun to begin coming up.
"We'd better get both of you inside. Sun's comin' up." Faith said, looking around and finally to the two vampires whom became her friends in such a short time.
"Yeah, let's get somewhere quick. Cordy's place is the closest, we'll go there first. From there Spike and I can travel through the sewer's to my place." Angel said starting to walk towards Cordy's.
^At Cordy's^
"Dennis, it's me Faith." She said when he closed the door. "Oh, and this is Angel and Spike they're good guys besides they're leaving anyways." Relieved when he opened up the door she turned to the guys and said 'good nite' and walked through the door only to have Willow and Cordy walk up to her and hug her.
"Thank goodness you're alright. We were so worried. Hey guys come in." Cordy said.
"You're hurt." Spike said, noticing it for the first time. "Where are your bandages?"
"In the bathroom, under the sink. Come sit down. We'll get you patched up in no time." Cordy said leading her to the couch. Dennis cleared up a place so that she could sit.
"Angel, when B said that you weren't fun to be around when you were Angelus she really meant it didn't she?" Faith asked curiously biting down the pain from the gash on her arm.
"What's she talking about Angel?" Willow said getting up so that Spike could patch Faith up. "Angel?" Willow asked putting her resolve face on and making him look at it.
"When I got to Faith and Spike, Holland Manners was threatening them. I must have been channeling Angelus or something because I threatened back. He made me mad, now I know they're going to stoop low just to get me Angelus again. To answer your question Faith, she really did. I've done so much in my life, good and bad but mostly bad. But I really tried to drive her crazy, least to say it didn't work, it just made her madder." He finished quietly and started pacing.
"I bloody told you that, peaches. But did you listen to me?" Spike said finishing with Faith's arm.
"Well it's a good thing he didn't listen to you." Willow said, "I mean it's not like he didn't try to end the world, oh wait you did." She finished sarcastically.
"Well we'd better get going. So you guys can get some rest." Angel said nearing the door. "Come on Spike." He said when he got the door opened.
"Yes, sir." Spike said but quickly commented, "good night" he chuckled but continued, "well good day sleep tight." He finished walking over to his sire.
"Oh, Cordy," Angel said and when she looked up at him he continued, "take the day off. Go shopping, get some rest and make sure these two go with you." When she smiled he smiled back and quietly shut the door.

"I bloody told you that, peaches. But did you listen to me?" Spike said finishing with Faith's arm.
"Well it's a good thing he didn't listen to you." Willow said, "I mean it's not like he didn't try to end the world, oh wait you did." She finished sarcastically.
"Well we'd better get going. So you guys can get some rest." Angel said nearing the door. "Come on Spike." He said when he got the door opened.
"Yes, sir." Spike said but quickly commented, "good night" he chuckled but continued, "well good day sleep tight." He finished walking over to his sire.
"Oh, Cordy," Angel said and when she looked up at him he continued, "take the day off. Go shopping, get some rest and make sure these two go with you." When she smiled he smiled back and quietly shut the door.
