"Ok we need to find her now." Buffy said freaking out.
"Why are you so worried? From what I could tell she was going with him willingly." Anya pointed out.
"I thought you said she was screaming at him?" Buffy asked.
"I meant they were screaming at each other. It was a two way thing."
"And that doesn't make warning signs go off in your head?" Buffy asked shocked.
"Just because people are screaming at each other doesn't mean that something's wrong. You scream at people all the time."
"Xander, if you don't get her to start talking, I will not be held responsible for what I do to her." Buffy warned.
"Anya, please can you at least tell us what he looked like or where they were head or if Dawn seemed worried?" Xander pleaded.
"No, she doesn't want you people to go after her!" Anya screamed.
"And how would you know that? Did you ask her?" Buffy asked sarcasitcally.
"No I didn't but just look at this house, look at you people. Why would anyone want to come back here?" Anya asked.
"You came here." Xander pointed out
"Yeah because Giles sent me to get you but you know what I'm not being his gofer any more." Anya said as she started to leave but the door wouldn't open. "Hallie, if you're doing this I'm going to kill you!" She screamed.
"It's not Hallie, it's me." Williow said as she came down the stairs.
"Willow, you're up and doing magic." Buffy said worried.
"I want to know what you know about Dawn and I want to know now. When you tell me, I'll let you leave." Williow told Anya and she walked up to her.
"Fine just don't do to me what you did to Warren." Anya pleaded.
"So we start checking the surrounding areas for Connor?" Fred asked.
"He doesn't want to be found." Angel said.
"But that shouldn't stop you." Gunn said.
"It's not going to but… since Justinine was useless we have no clue where to start." Angel said.
"You've got a better plan?" Gunn asked.
"Yeah that we try using some magic to find him." Angel suggested.
"But last time we did that didn't really work very well." Fred pointed out.
"We don't really have much of a choice." Angel told him.
"But magic? Man, you know messing with that stuff never brings good things." Gunn said.
"He's right, it never does so I've got a better plan." Cordy said as she walked into the hotel.
"Ok where are we headed?" Dawn asked Connor.
"You tell me, you know this city better than I do." Connor said.
"Yeah but I don't normally go down town or at least not this far down town." Dawn said worried because she knew this part of the city was dangerous.
"Why not? It doesn't look that bad to me."
"Yeah well, it's like vampire central not very many humans come down here and the few that do well you can smell them in the air. That's the stinch you smell, rotting corpses." Dawn said as she tried not to gag.
"I was wondering why that smell seemed so familiar."
"Familiar? Where did you grow up in crematorium?" Dawn asked shocked.
"What's that?"
"The place where they burn people's bodies to ashes."
"Oh well I basically did."
"That must have been hell."
"You could say that." Connor said sarcastically.
"But why would you…." Dawn started to say but Connor stopped her.
"I hear something coming, be quiet." Connor said as he listened for the apporaching footsteps. As soon as the vampire had turned the corner he went to stake him.
"Hey, what's going on here!" Spike screamed as he jumped back.
"Stephan, don't!" Dawn screamed as she stepped in between him and Spike.
"Get out of my way!" Connor screamed as he tried to get past her.
"No! You can't stake Spike." Dawn protested as she helped Spike up.
"Why not, he's a vampire?" Connor asked confused.
"Because he's harmless and he's a friend of mine." Dawn said.
"Yeah so leave me alone!" Spike said.
"Why are you friends with a vampire? And what is with vampire getting all harmless these days?" He asked annoyed.
"Hey even vampires deserve friends!" Spike said.
"You know another harmless vampire?" Dawn asked shocked.
"Unless you're talking about Angel, then the vampire was lying to you kid." Spike said to Connor.
"Wait you know Angel?" Connor asked shocked.
