Chapter 2
The Search.
~~~~~
Spike, Angel, and the gang searched street after street for Connor. Spike, Gunn, and Fred in Spike's car, and Angel, Wesley, and Lorne in Angel's. They were all starting to get restive. They headed down a street packed with cars. At the corner of the street they stopped in front of a stop light. On the right of the street there was an electronics store. Wesley was looking out of the crack in the black paint, on the passenger's side window of Angel's car.
They were pulling off when Wesley shouted, "Stop!" Angel slammed on the breaks, almost making Spike run into the car.
"What is it, Wes?" Angel asked, turning around in his seat to look at him.
"The news," Wesley said climbing out of the back seat of the car without another word.
*********************
"Bloody bint," Spike said slamming on his breaks to avoid crashing into Angel's car.
"What's going on?" Gunn asked. Then fell silent when he saw Wes get out of the car.
"Oh, nothing, just Angel trying to get us killed." Spike said not noticing that Wesley had climbed out of Angel's car. "Not that a car crash can kill me. Hey, where are you goin'?" Spike asked when Gunn and Fred climbed out of the car.
Gunn and Fred walked over to the electronics store next to Wes. Fred was about to ask why he had gotten out when she spotted the television set that was sitting in the display window. This is what they saw...
The news broadcaster was half way through her report. She was saying, "... Situation unfolding at Jackson's sporting goods, where police say that more then a dozen unknown shoppers are being held hostage at this hour. Police are trying to identify the suspect from these security camera pictures..." A picture of a 17 year old boy was shown on the television set. "... So far no motive is known for the siege and the suspect has refused to meet with law enforcement officials. We'll keep you updated as this intense drama unfolds."
Fred, Gunn, and Wes were speechless as they looked into the face of Angel's son. Gunn was the first one to say something, "We should tell Angel."
"Yeah," Fred said snapping out of her reverie. "Wes, go tell Angel. Gunn, uh, go with him and see what Angel wants us to do, and I'll go tell Spike."
"Ooh, big girl in charge." Gunn teased.
"Just go."
"Fine," He said, as Wesley and him walked over to Angel's car. Fred went and told Spike about what they saw.
*********************
"So, what did you see?" Angel asked them as Wesley and Gunn slid into the car.
"Angel, we know where Connor is." Gunn said.
"Where is he?" Angel asked.
Gunn and Wesley told him everything they saw. When, they were through Angel sat there in silence for a minute. Then he said, "Gunn, go to Spike's car and tell him what you saw."
"Fred's telling him now." Wesley said.
"Ok. Tell him to follow us we're going after Connor." Angel said turning the key in the ignition. The car gave a small rrrruuummm sound and turned over.
"Ok." Gunn said climbing back out of the car.
To be continued... It might take me awhile to post. I am having a bit of a writer's block and with school and everything it'll take awhile for me to get back into the swing of things, but I promise to try to get some posted in the next few weeks.
