Ch.3
*starts the next day*
Gunn and Fred walked into the Hyperion. They saw a dozens of girls sleeping, or crying in pain. Many of them injured, some worse than others.
"Connor?" Fred called out, confused.
Gunn looked around at the girls. A dark haired woman, a blonde and "Willow?" he saw.
"Gunn! Hi." Willow said. The three women walked over to the dark man.
"Hi. What's going on? Looks like a tornado blew through here." Gunn asked.
"Hi Willow." Fred said happily.
"Hey Fred. And No. No tornado.'
"Will?" The blonde asked.
Willow jumped at her forgetfulness, "Oh! Gunn, Fred. This is Faith" Willow said to the brunette, "And Buffy." She introduced.
Fred and Gunn looked at each other and raised their brows, "Buffy? Buffy- Buffy?" Gunn asked.
"Um. Yeah." Buffy said confused at his question.
"Sorry, we've just heard a lot about you." Fred said.
"Oh."
There was an awkward silence in the air.
"Do you guys know where Angel is? Or Cordeilia or Wesley?" Buffy asked as she made her way around sleeping slayers and into the office as Fred, Gunn, Willow and Faith followed, Xander was already sitting in Angel's office with Giles.
"This is Xander and Giles." Buffy said, then turned to Fred and Gunn awaiting their answer.
"Well Wes is...he's at his apartment. He doesn't work here anymore. Not since he kidnapped Angel's son and-"Fred was cutoff.
"Angel's SON?!" Buffy asked in shock. "Yeah. Don't you know? It's Connor. I assumed you met." Fred said, questioningly.
"Well we met, but he never said...I guess that explains the broodiness." Buffy said.
Gunn laughed.
"Wait, so if that's Angel's son, he looks like he's 20, how come none of us knew about him. We all knew Angel just a couple years ago." Faith asked.
"Well he was only born last year. But this guy, Holtz, he kidnapped Connor and raised him in a hell dimension where-"
"Time moves faster." Giles finished for Gunn.
"So Deadboy's got a son. Who knew?" Xander said jokingly.
Buffy rolled her eyes, "Ok. So then where's Angel and Cordy?"
"Well, we don't know. A couple of months ago Angel was supposed to meet Cordy to talk, and neither of them ever came back. We checked her apartment and nothing. She didn't even take any of her stuff. Like they both just-"
"Disappeared." Willow finished for Fred.
Fred nodded.
"And you guys made no attempt to...look for him?" Buffy said, "them?"
"We did. That's where we were at last night. We got a lead, but it wasn't him" Gunn said.
"Where does Wes live?" Buffy asked.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
There was a knock at Wesley's door.
He got up from his bed, a sleeping Lilah next to him. He pulled on some slacks and a shirt. He grabbed a gun out of his coat.
He opened the door slowly, held the gun behind his leg.
"Buffy?" He asked.
In the doorway stood Buffy, Faith and Giles.
Buffy stood in front. Wesley put the gun down on the table next to the door.
Buffy smiled nervously, having heard about what happened to him. He stepped into the light and she could clearly see the scar on his neck.
"What do you want?" he asked, almost annoyed by their presence.
Faith thought he might be scared of her, since their last encounter involved her torturing him.
Buffy thought he might still be mad at her for firing him.
"Hello to you too." Buffy tried to joke to clear the air.
There was an uncomfortable silence.
"Faith. Giles." Wesley greeted solemnly.
"Hello." Giles said and smiled a half smile. Giles took off his glasses and cleaned them.
Faith stayed silent.
Buffy sighed annoyed, "I don't have time for this. I am sorry about what happened to you and that you're all broody and depressed, but I need to know where angel and Cordy are. Do you know anything?"
Wesley was relieved at Buffy's straightforwardness, and a little admiring at it as well. He could tell that she had grown up since he had seen her last.
"Come in, but be quiet." Wesley warned. He really didn't want to wake Lilah and have to deal with her.
The visitors walked in and Giles and Faith sat on a couch, Wes sat in an arm chair. Buffy stood in a powerful manner.
"I have acquired through...informants, that perhaps Angel has been, submerged under the water at the Santa Monica harbor."
Buffy's eyes grew wide, "Under the Ocean?!? And you're just leaving him there? How long have you known?" Buffy accused him of being uncaring and heartless.
"I don't know where Buffy! I can't very well go look around all over that harbor. I would be there for months."
"Yes! You could. But you wouldn't would you? You don't care at all. Angel was you friend. How can you just leave him there and not even try to find him?"
"Angel abandoned me! He tried to kill me! I wonder why I even bothered asking where he might be."
"Hello! Join the club! Angel tried to kill everyone in this room!" Buffy yelled, then lowered her tone, "And we still care."
Buffy walked to the door, followed by the still silent Faith and Giles.
"Sorry. Thank you for the information. It could prove to be useful. Buffy's just. She's just upset." Giles tried explaining.
Wesley made no expression of understanding and shut the door.
He went back to his room and found Lilah awake. He went to his closet, "It's time" He told Justine.
