"Hey I think we got something here." One of the men screamed to the captian.
"What does it look like?" The caption asked.
"Like a casket but I think the guy's alive." The man siad.
"Pull him in." The Caption ordered.
As the started to pull the box up they relzied that he was right, the guy was alive. The man opened it quickly. "Are you ok?" He asked Angel.
Angel got up and looked around. "Where am I?"
"You are on the boat, Cannon."
"How far am I from Los Angles?" Angel asked.
"About hundred miles from shore. How did you end up in the ocean?" The man asked.
"My son, he put me in here. Look I need to get back as soon as possible." Angel said.
"That might take a few days, wait your son did this to you?" The man asked shocked.
"Yeah, what ever is the fasted way to get back take it." Angel said.
Dawn came out of school and was shocked to Xander waiting for her. She tired to ignore him and kept walking but he saw her and followed her. "Is there any reason why you are following me?" She asked.
"Well I was hoping to see where it is you went this morning." Xander said.
"I went to school." Dawn said.
"No, you didn't. I know you didn't. You left a note saying that I said you could go but I remember telling you to go up to your room and go back to sleep. So where did you go?"
"Does it really matter?"
"Yes, I want to know what's going on before it becomes big trouble, so that we don't have to worry about anything else."
"I went to the park. I had to get out of the house so I went to the park." Dawn said lying.
"Then why did you lie about it in the note?"
"Because I knew if Buffy or any of you knew that I was this upset about what happened, we'd talk and personally I don't want to talk any more."
"So you went to the park?" Xander asked again.
"Yes, I've already told you that." Dawn said mad.
"Ok, fine then where are you going now?"
"I'm going for a walk, I can do that right?" Dawn asked sarcastically.
Xander smiled. "Just be home before Buffy gets home."
"I will and before you say it, I will be safe." Dawn said heading towards the mansion.
"So are you planning to stay for a long time?" Willow asked Giles as put up another set of books.
"I think I need to, don't you?" Giles said as he looked though another page of inventory.
"Well it's nice to have you here to say the least. It adds that whole we're still "watched" thing you know?" Willow said sitting down next to him.
"Do you think you need to be?" Giles asked.
"I think there are things that happened here that shouldn't have happened and might not have happened if you had been here." Willow said sadly.
"Well I'm not so sure of that. But I am planning on trying to make sure that you all are safe while I'm here."
"Yeah that would be nice." Willow said yawning.
"When was the last time you slept?"
"Um… I don't remember."
"Then go home and sleep I can do this by myself."
Willow got up. "There you go watching out for us already. It is nice. I mean I'm not going to sleep any way but it's nice to know you are thinking of me."
"What have you been doing since I've been gone?" Dawn asked Conner as she came into the mansion where there were peelings all over the floor.
"Did you bring more food?" Conner asked.
"Yes but you're not getting it till you answer some more of my questions." Dawn said seriously as she sat down.
"What are the questions?" He asked.
"I still want to know where you are from. Also do you have parents?" Dawn asked.
"I don't really know where I'm from and both of my parents are dead." Conner said as he sat down next to her.
"So you are an orphan?"
"What's an orphan?"
"Someone that doesn't have any parents."
"Then yes that's what I am. What about you?"
"My mother died last year and my father is a no show. My sister takes care of me. Do you have any sisters or brothers?"
"What are those?"
"Um… well they are other children of your parents."
"No, I don't have any. Now can I some food?" Conner begged.
"It's my lunch so it's not that good." Dawn said handing it to her.
Connor grabbed it out of her hands.
"Ok have you ever heard of the words "thanks you"?" she asked annoyed.
"No."
"Well when someone gives you something you say thank you."
"Why?"
"It's a nice thing to do."
"Well then thank you." Conner said sarcastically.
