A/n Crap I need to do some damage control, I just re read the last chapter and it sounds very slash, definitely not what I was aiming for, so if you got your hopes up sorry!  So there won't be that much concern on Angel's part, I mean there will be, just not of the homosexual nature.  Here it goes:

6.  The Visitor

*********

            A woman walked through the halls of Wolfram and Hart searching for the CEO.  It seemed to be about closing time because the farther she walked into the actual heart of the building the less people she saw.  She was just about to give up her search when she spotted a blonde walking hurriedly down the hall.  Before the woman passed her the visitor grabbed her by the arm.  "Excuse me but do you know where I could find Angel?" 

            Eve stared at the stranger. It wasn't everyday a strange woman grabbed her arm with the strength this one did.  "Strong grip you got there." She stated.  Reverting to her normal talkative self she continued, "You work out?"

            The woman ignored her question and loosened her grip "Sorry.  It's just I really need to see Angel.  I've been looking for him but no one's telling me anything.  Do you know where he is?  And let me warn you I've been looking for a while so if you give me wrong directions I might have to hunt you down." 

            Eve smiled and laughed, "I'm sure you have.  Now what did you say your name was?" she asked.

            "I didn't." the woman smugly replied. 

            Eve's smile turned upside down as the woman reminded her of Cordelia.  For a slight moment she considered the notion of the woman actually being Cordelia then threw the thought away.  When given her job Eve had been given very detailed descriptions of all the women Angel had had relationships with in his time.  From what she could tell the one standing in front of her could be any of them. 

            "Excuse me but do you know where Angel is or not?" the woman huffed.

            Seeing that the ball could be in her court Eve decided to give Angel a little surprise.  "Come to think of it I think I just saw him leaving the lab, you can wait for him there. I'll show you the way." Eve smiled and led the way down the hall.

********

            Angel paced back and forth in front of the windows in his office.  Wesley had just called him to say that it was very hard finding any information on this 'Treklank' demon Angel and Spike had fought, but had found a lead that might prove useful.  While Wesley investigated his lead Angel stayed in his office and thought about things.  Was this Trea really strong enough to kill Spike?  Sure Angel didn't have a vast amount of affection towards Spike, and Spike did everything he could to piss him off, but now that he had a soul he didn't want him to die either.  Spike had and still could do a lot of good.  Angel wasn't going to let him die just because of some demon he hadn't even heard of.  If Spike was going to die it would be during an apocalypse, he deserved that.

Angel continued to pace.  He couldn't help but think if he should call Buffy.  After all Angel knew there had been a time when they were close, and if Buffy found out Spike had come back from the dead then died once more, she would kill Angel.  Angel wasn't just out to save his own ass though; Buffy had a right to know Spike was back.  He decided he would call her and tell her over the phone about the situation and was walking over to his desk when he heard a knock at his door.

Angry that he was interrupted from his much needed phone call Angel spoke roughly "Come in." Harmony opened the door and walked in few steps when Angel spoke again, "What is it Harmony?  I was just about to call someone."

"Well Boss, you have a visitor." Harmony replied meekly.

"Send them in."

"I can't" Harmony stated nervously

Angel looked at Harmony with a fierce look on his face "Why not?"

"Well your going to laugh about this later, but"

"Harmony just tell me."

"Well you see, I sort of lost them."

"You lost them?"

"Yeah." Harmony nervously laughed.  'They were wondering where you were and I told them but they wouldn't wait for me to call you so they left on their own."

"You're lying." Angel detected "Should I be worried about this visitor?" Angel questioned.  "Is it someone I know?"

"Well you see it was-" Harmony was cut off by Gunn walking into the office.

"Boss we got a problem."

********

            Wesley entered the Demon Bar he had been standing in front of.  It was a dingy sort of place with bad lighting that he had found at the end of an alley, hidden away from humans.  As soon as he had taken two steps into the place all the demons that were sitting turned to look at him.  Behind him Wesley heard his team enter also, with their weapons.  Ignoring them the demon's turned back around to resume what they were doing.

            Wesley made his way through the crowded room to the back looking for the actual bar.  Finding it he then waited for the bartender to acknowledge his presence.  Wesley was shocked to see it was a human.  The man was wearing a white shirt covered with stains and reminded Wesley all too much of Willy.  "What do you want?" the man asked while wiping a glass.  "We don't get too many humans in here."

            "No.  I didn't think so." Wesley agreed looking around his surroundings.  "I need some information on a demon.  I heard you might have it."

            "What kind of demon?"

            "Treklank."

            "Sorry can't help you.  Never heard of it before."  The man continued to wipe the glass while he turned around.

            "I don't believe you.  Sorry it had to come to this."  Wesley made motion and one of the members of his team grabbed the bartender by his neck and pulled him over the bar.  "Let's try this again.  What do you know about the Treklank demon?"  Wesley asked the man as he was slouched against the front of the bar.

            "I still don't know what you're talking about."

            "You're lying to me again." Wesley stated, "Your going to tell me what you know or I will get mad.  You don't want to see me mad."

            Apparently the man didn't want to see Wesley mad and he broke down "Fine.  I'll tell you all I know."

            "That's what I wanted to hear."

********

            Pain shoot through Spike's.  He couldn't see his assailant; a mist of some sort covered them.  But he could see the knife that jutted out of his stomach, causing him pain.  He tried to say something, but couldn't think of anything to say.  Suddenly the mist in front of him cleared and he could see the form in front of him clearly.  He looked up at the face he had and still loved "Buffy?"

*********

            "Buffy?  Buffy was here and you didn't tell me?"  Angel asked Harmony incredulously as she, himself, and Gunn walked to the lab. 

            "Look on the bright side she may still be here."  Harmony replied.  "I didn't tell her where you were because you were with Spike, and you know that whole situation."

            "Your right."

            Harmony's jaw dropped.  "What?"

            "I haven't said anything to her about Spike yet.  So that was a good idea not telling her where I was.  She won't walk in on anything she's not prepared for."  Angel answered.

            "And that's where our problem begins." Gunn put in  "It seems our very own Eve decided to take matters into her own hands and show Buffy where the lab is.  I saw them walking down there a few minutes ago.  Good thing this place is so big.  Just to be sure I asked one of the other lawyers to talk to Eve, distract her, so we could get there first."

            "Thanks Gunn."

            "No problem."

            "Harmony I need you to go back to your desk, take any calls you get from Wesley and call me if he calls."

            "Sure thing Boss." Harmony replied happy Angel wasn't angrier with her.

            "So what exactly are we going to do about this situation?" Gunn asked.

            "I don't know."

********

            Fred looked up from her book when she heard Spike saying something.  "Do you hear that?" she asked Lorne

            He looked up from his book also "Yes peaches I do.  Don't worry he'll calm down in a second."  Lorne looked sadly over at Spike. 

            Regardless of what he had said Fred walked over to Spike.  As she noticed that the blood from Spike's wounds had gone through the bandages they had put on him.  She began to put fresh ones on when Spike started murmuring again.  Fred leaned in closer trying to hear him.

            Lorne hearing Spike also stood up and walked over to the vampire. "What's he saying?"

            "Buffy." Fred replied

            The two were startled when they to here a voice from behind them.

            "Yes?"

A/n- So I lied there wasn't really any spike in this chapter sorry.  I tried, okay not really, but hey it's late I need to sleep.  You guys should just be happy I actually updated!  I have a confession you guys.  The reason that I haven't updated this for so long is because my obsession with the show Angel has left the building.  I used to be obsessed, utterly wackily obsessed, but now I'm obsessed with other things and my passion for Angel fan fic has left as well.  It really makes me sad.  But I am determined to finish this story, DETERMINED!  So don't give up on me.
