Eventually everyone pretty much forgot about the morning, but that
girl on the news stuck to Buffy's mind. "Hello, all" Cordelia announced as
herself, Doyle, Gunn and Fred walked into the office. "Have we got any
business yet?" Cordelia asked. Buffy couldn't help but sigh. That was just
how Cordelia was. She was ready to make cash and ready to go through any
means to get it. "Sorry, none yet, Cordelia" Willow said. Cordelia groaned
and plopped down on the couch.
"Why is she getting this huffy, she never usually does?" Xander asked referring to Cordelia have her own silent hissy fit. "Oh" Doyle spoke up, "She's just bitter because the rent for her is due the day after tomorrow." "Oh it's that time of the month" Xander spoke up eventually. "What's going on?" Buffy turned to see Angel standing in front of his personal elevator. "Hey" she walked over and greeted him with a kiss. "We were just making fun of the stupidity of Cordelia" Xander piped. Buffy smacked him playfully, but it caused Xander to fly and run into Doyle and then into the wall.
"Sorry!" Buffy said apologetic. Sometimes she forgot her own strength. Xander got up. "No, that's okay it was like a ride I like it." He then walked over to the desk and sat on it. Doyle remained on the floor moaning. "I said I was sorry" Buffy repeated when he wouldn't get up. "I think he's having a vision" Angel announced walking over to Doyle and sitting him up. "CORDELIA!" Angel screamed. "What, I am right here!" she snapped back at him. "Get some aspirin, and a glass of water." Angel said. "Okay" Cordelia said walking over to the refrigerator and getting out the bottles of water, then getting the Tylenol on top. "Here" she said as Doyle started waking up. He took them and thanked her. "What did you see?" Angel asked
"It was a girl" Doyle said slowly. "I couldn't see her face because she was running from something. I think it was the grim reaper." He said cautiously. "Can you tell me anything about the girl?" Angel said skeptically. "Blonde hair, on the short side, she was wearing a white shirt, black pants and boots, she can run pretty fast" Doyle described the best he could. Angel turned to all the others. "Well, it looks like Cordelia got her wish, looks like we're in business
They decided to split shifts. Willow, Fred, and Wesley stayed in to do research. Xander, Doyle, and Cordelia went to the morgue to find out more about the body that was killed. Buffy, Angel and Gunn all went hunting for the Grim Reaper. This proved to be more difficult than Buffy thought. She assumed he would come out and try to kill all who come near him, apparently the Grim Reaper is interested only in its job.
The others weren't receiving much luck either. The only information that could be found on the Grim Reaper was from the stories about it. It was also clear that the piercing through the girl's stomach at the morgue could be identified as one of several hundred. They all ended up returning to the office defeated. "Maybe we'll have better luck the second time around" Angel announced once they were all there. "But with this thing, on the loose I don't want you going outside by yourselves it's too dangerous. So you'll all have to stay here tonight" he announced again turning and walking to the elevator that led to his basement apartment. Buffy followed Angel there as everyone else simultaneously jumped onto the couch.
Down in Angel's apartment Buffy entered as Angel started packing his bag with weapons. "What are you doing?" Buffy demanded. "I'm going out to look for this thing." He said matter of factly. "After you told them not to go out you're being a hypocrite!" she yelled. He continued packing his things into his bag. "Then, I'm coming too" Buffy said not willing to back down. "No, Buffy I have to do this on my own" Angel said turning to the sewer tunnel opening. "You're going to get yourself killed" Buffy yelled after him. Angel whipped around and said back. "No I won't, Buffy, I'm already dead, the Reaper doesn't even know I exist, we can use that against him.
Buffy gave up and turned off the light heading back to the bed. Little did she see the cloaked figure hiding amongst the darkness...
