PART 4
Buffy kicks out of his grip. She turns, starting to run for the door. The man appears in front of her.
MAN: Going somewhere?
Buffy tries to kick him, but he grabs her leg and swings her into the door. He then tosses her to the other side of the room. She hits the wall hard.
MAN: This will all be finished soon. (He approaches her) Things will be as they should. You destroyed everything. Now I destroy you.
BUFFY: (yelling) Guys, a little help please?
The door bursts open. Fred and Wesley come running in. The man begins to teleport, but Fred points some kind of weapon at him. It fires out some green mist, hitting the man. He finds that he can't teleport.
MAN: What did you do?
He charges for Fred, but Buffy kicks him in the back, knocking him to the floor. Angel and Spike come running through the door. Angel grabs the man, but the man throws Angel off of him easily. He kicks Buffy, sending her flying into the chair. The man stands up. Fred continues shooting the green mist on the man.
MAN: This isn't over, Slayer. You'll get what's coming to you. As for now, I have others to take care of. A whole group of them.
Spike jumps at the man, but goes through him.
SPIKE: Bloody hell. Damn thing never works when I want.
ANGEL: Then I guess it's up to me.
Angel jumps at the man, but the man catches him. He throws Angel into Fred and Wesley. With the green mist off of him, he teleports.
Everyone gets up off the floor.
BUFFY: Well, that was fun.
SPIKE: Like old times, huh, Slayer?
Buffy doesn't respond. She just looks at Angel.
Wolfram and Hart Lobby
Angel, Buffy, Gunn, and Wesley stand around talking.
BUFFY: England is great. I'm having a good time there. I'm getting a lot of rest. I think I'll stay for a while.
ANGEL: Well, I'm glad that everything is going good for you.
BUFFY: Thank you. (she looks around the lobby) I guess some of us have it better than others though.
WESLEY: (to Buffy) Are you sure you're going to be safe? I mean, with that Slayer killer still at large, it just doesn't –
BUFFY: England!
GUNN: Yes, Buffy! That's where you live now.
BUFFY: No! I mean he said that he had other Slayers to take care of…a whole group of them. I need to get to England now.
ANGEL: Why the rush? You just got here.
BUFFY: You don't get it. Willow's been collecting Slayers…it's a long story. I'm sure that's where he's headed. I need to get there.
WESLEY: There's no possible way you can get to England right now.
GUNN: Um…I think I know a way.
ANGEL: (stern) No, Gunn. I don't think that's a good idea.
GUNN: She needs to get to England to stop this creep. I don't see any other way.
ANGEL: I don't like you going there so much.
GUNN: Don't worry, Angel. I'm just helping out a friend. (turns to Buffy) Let's go, little lady.
BUFFY: (to Angel) I'll be back. We still have -
ANGEL: I know…unfinished business.
Buffy walks over to Angel and hugs him. She kisses him on the cheek.
BUFFY: It was nice seeing you again.
ANGEL: (smiling) Yeah. (looks at Gunn) You sure this is the only way.
GUNN: Positive!
A hand taps Buffy on the shoulder. She turns around to see Harmony standing with her hands on her hips.
BUFFY: Harmony? (turns to Angel) Harmony works here?
ANGEL: Don't look at me. Wes hired her.
Buffy turns around to face Harmony.
HARMONY: Now that you're back, I want to lie out some ground rules.
BUFFY: Harmony, I'm not –
HARMONY: Don't interrupt. Firs off, Spike. I know he has the hots for you. And I swear, if you harm one hair on my little lamb's head I will crush you. You think you've felt wrath. (steps into Buffy's face) Then think again, honey. Because you won't know what hit you.
WESLEY: Harmony, Buffy's on her way back to England.
HARMONY: Oh, okay then.(hugs Buffy) Have a safe trip. And if you see Giles, give him my love.
She giggles then walks away. Buffy rolls her eyes.
GUNN: Ready!
BUFFY: Let's go.
They walk off.
A little later –
Fred's lab
Fred stands, carefully mixing a formula. It explodes.
FRED: Certainly not the affect I was looking for.
HARMONY: (off screen) Fred!
Fred looks up.
HARMONY: Angel wants to see you in his office.
Angel's office
Fred walks into the office.
FRED: Angel, you wanted to see me?
Angel walks to the door and closes it. He walks towards his desk.
ANGEL: Yes, Fred. Have a seat.
He walks to the other side of the desk and sits in his chair.
ANGEL: We need to talk.
FRED: (unsure) Okay.
ANGEL: I'll just get straight to the point. What you did by calling Buffy was –
FRED: (smiles) No need to thank me. It was the least –
ANGEL: (continued) Very inconsiderate.
FRED: What?
ANGEL: Did you even think about me while you were calling up my ex-girlfriend?
FRED: I just figured –
ANGEL: You figured since Spike wanted to see her that it would be okay. You know how I feel about those two, but I guess my feelings didn't matter. Right, Fred? The only feelings you could think of were your own feelings for Spike.
FRED: (stands up) That's not fair. I don't –
ANGEL: You want to know what's not fair, Fred? It wasn't fair that I had to watch them practically make out. I mean, if you want to talk about fair. How could you, Fred? What the hell what were you thinking?
FRED: I was just trying to –
ANGEL: Help? Is that what you were going to say?
Fred looks down and doesn't respond.
ANGEL: I'm talking to you, Fred.
FRED: (without looking up) Yes!
ANGEL: (sits back down) Want me to tell you how you've helped? First, you go $800,000 over the spending limit to help Peroxide become corporeal. Then you help again by getting Buffy here in order…(he leans in closer) You know what? You've become so much of a liability.
Fred looks up.
ANGEL: And that's the last thing this company needs.
FRED: Angel, what are you saying?
ANGEL: I think you know the answer to that.
Fred stares at him horrified.
FRED: Angel…?
ANGEL: (calm anger) Get out of my office.
Fred looks at Angel once more, then slowly turns around. She walks out of the office and closes the door.
