Gunn was walking down the halls of Wolfram & Hart. He was heading to Fred's
department where she usually was.
"Hey, girl, what's up?" Gunn said, walking in.
Everyone looked up at him.
"Hey, can't a dog talk to someone without everyone listening?" Gunn asked.
Fred laughed. "Hi, Charles. Is there something I can do for you?" Fred asked.
"No. I just wanted to talk is all. We hardly ever get to talk anymore, y'know."
"I'm sorry."
"Fred, are we still on for tonight?" Wesley asked, popping in.
"Sure. I can't wait," Fred said.
"What's going on tonight?" Gunn asked.
"Wesley is taking me out for dinner. He says I never have time for a decent meal anymore," Fred said.
Gunn looked hurt. He tried to hide it from her and it only worked because someone came up to Fred just then. Gunn sneaked out and left her to work . . . and Wesley.
"Charles, why did-," Fred began, turning around and seeing that Gunn wasn't there anymore.
Wesley couldn't believe he was taking Fred out tonight. It wasn't a date, but Wesley couldn't wait. He had seen Gunn's look and Wesley kind of liked it. He didn't mean to cause him hurt, but Wesley liked Fred. But whatever Fred and Gunn had had before was gone now, only Gunn seemed like he was still trying to hold onto it.
Angel was in his office just sitting. Just then Harmony came in.
"Your client is here!" she said.
"Thanks, but I didn't know I had a client coming in.
"Neither did I, but they really want to see you," she said, leaving.
A man and woman came in, looking around, and scared.
"Can I help you?" Angel asked.
"We heard Angel Investigations had moved here, but I didn't believe it. You're Angel right?" the man asked.
"That's me. I know it's a change, but the offer was made, and we took it. What are your names?"
"My name is Bill. This is my wife, Kelly," Bill said.
"And what exactly is your problem?" Angel asked.
"Someone's been following us. We're not sure who, but we thought you could handle something like this," Kelly responded.
"Do you have any idea who it might be?"
"We don't know. But I looked back one time and I got a glint of a sharp tooth. Maybe it was just smiling or something," Bill said.
"Give me your address and the place's you normally go. I'll take care of it."
They wrote them down and got ready to leave. Just when they were walking out the door Angel called to them.
"If you hear anything like a fight behind you, don't look back, just walk as fast as you can and lock your doors."
They nodded and headed out.
Alyssa walked a cemetery. Maybe she would run into Angel here. Just then a vamp charged out at her. It tried to punch her but she blocked it and then threw him down like she had learned when she had done karate. He got back up and headed for her. He was ugly. He got out a sword with jewels on it and swung. She leaped up and over the vamp. She kicked him in the back of his head and he stumbled forward. She grabbed him up and got ready to get some information out of him. Only he punched her in the stomach and she flew back, against a headstone. She got right back up. A little pain didn't hurt Alyssa Border; after all, she had dealt with worse.
"Is that all you got?" she asked.
Just then a black man jumped out of the bushes. He tackled the vamp and they went forward. He got the vamp up and started punching him a couple of times.
"Get out of here!" he yelled.
"I don't think you know who I am! I'm something way more powerful than this guy, he's just strong," Alyssa said, kicking the vampire in the back.
He shot up and kicked her in the jaw, sent her flying. She hit a tree. The vampire got his sword and got ready to plunge it right into her stomach. If the man hadn't got right in front of it, saving her life. Only, it didn't go through him, he had dodged to the left and caught it with his hand. It didn't slice through, but left a big, wide cut. But then he took it away form his hands and tried wrestling it from the vampire. It went down and went through Alyssa's pant leg, slicing her leg deep, a little deeper than the man's cut. The vampire ran off.
"Come back, you coward!" the man yelled.
Alyssa grimaced in pain. It hurt a lot.
"Let me help you," the man said.
"I don't need anyone to help me," Alyssa said to him.
"I think you do, cuz you got a good cut in your leg," he said, helping her up.
"You have a pretty one yourself," she said.
"The name's Gunn. What's yours?" Gunn said.
"Alyssa Border. I'm a Slayer," Amanda said.
"A Slayer huh? You still need help though."
She let him help her across the cemetery. Whoever he was, he was tough and really nice to put his life in danger to save hers.
"Hey, girl, what's up?" Gunn said, walking in.
Everyone looked up at him.
