A.N.: Thank you for reviewing. Jules: I like your perspective on the story and I'm glad that you noticed the psychological side of the tension between Connor and Angel. Rory4, and Insert Witty Name Here: don't worry because I'm already working on future chapters and it shouldn't be long before they are posted. DarkAngel66: I'll take your suggestion into consideration or I might just write a whole new fanfic just for that so there is no need to be pissed. ^_^. Thank you all for reviewing and for those who haven't yet, what are you waiting for?

A.N.: I am not a fan of A/C and I apologize that you had to read that, but like I said the writers of Public Enemy set it up that way but don't worry it wont last long. Mwahahaha.

Now the story. ^_^. Enjoy.

Chapter 3 Amherst Papyrus

Angel and Connor walked back to the old church to get Angel's car. They noticed a light flickering inside and thought it was best to investigate. When they entered they saw candles placed to make a path to the lower level of the church. They followed along the path trying to be as discrete and quiet as possible. When they reached the end of the lit path they saw what looked like an ancient Egyptian priest.

"Welcome. My name is Ekphantos."

"What do you want?" Angel stepped in front of his son in case the priest decided to attack.

"My business is with both father and son. Have you ever heard of the Amherst Papyrus?"

"No."

"I have." Angel turned to his son, surprised by his answer.

"It's supposed to be of a warrior that replaces another. He's supposed to be invincible except for this potion. He's supposed to be all powerful and the only thing that can kill him is this potion that the powers made just incase he ever became evil, right?"

The Priest nodded. "You know more than I anticipated"

Angel stood staring at his son and realized he barely new him.

"My informants tell me you have people capable of translating the document at your organization."

Angel nodded looking back at the stranger and the priest held up a cylinder. He took it and examined it. "It looks like the shanshu." Angel muttered.

"It is similar. When your son was born this was the result."

"Why should I believe you? How do know this isn't a fake?"

"In the book 'Dier el Bahri' it names it. There are other references but they are rare."

Angel nodded.

"Why are you doing this?" asked Connor.

"I am merely here to deliver, I shall check up on you periodically" the priest turned to leave.

"Wait!" Connor yelled after the priest and the priest turned to look at the young man. "Those vampires earlier, were they with you?"

"Yes, but it was there decision to strike at you. They thought it would be easier to bring you the package and trust you to take it to your father."

"But I killed them."

"It was there time. They have finished their services. Now I must go. I have wasted too much time here already. All I can do is wish you luck so good luck." With that he left.

Note: I will get rid of the Angel Cordelia thing but I need your opinion. Should I just separate them or get rid of Cordelia all together. Please review!! I love your comments!! ^_^.
