---------- "What do you see?" Angel asked with concern as he knelt beside Cordelia, who had a vision currently flashing through her head. "A demon... nasty looking... attacking a group of kids near the library..." she said through teeth gritted in pain. "Ooookay, we'll gather some weapons to vanquish whatever it is." Angel decided, holding out a hand to help Cordy up.
She grasped it, slowly pulling herself into a standing position. "Man, that one –hurt-." She complained, lightly rubbing her temples. "We should be going soon..." Wesley chimed in, grabbing for a standard crossbow as Angel held a battle axe in his hands. "Yeah... he's right. We should get going." He agreed, grabbing his trenchcoat and putting it on as he headed for the door. Wesley and Cordelia, each carrying a crossbow, soon followed, and the trio was out the door.
------
Angel drove through the darkened L.A. streets, Cordy and Wesley riding in the back seats. "So, do we know exactly what demon we're about to fight?" Angel asked, his eyes still on the road. "I think it might be a Khangi demon. And to kill it, you just simply behead it." Wesley stated know-it- all-ingly, which was followed by a smile from Angel. "Well, this should be a short trip then, not that I'm complaining." "Me neither." Cordy added, raising her hand. "It sounds like a relief compared to the looooong battles we fight most of the time."
Soon, they arrived at the library to see the 'welcoming' sight of a demon terrorizing humans. "Let's just get this over with." Groaned Cordelia, reluctantly stepping out of the car. Wesley and Angel soon followed, all arming and readying themselves for the battle. The Khangi demon turned from its terrorizing to stare with piercing eyes at the three. "Here we go..." Angel said with a light sigh, heading toward the demon.
------
Angel made a slash at it, the blade of the axe cutting into the demon's rough skin. Wesley and Cordy began to fire stakes from the crossbows, standing behind Angel. The stakes simply bounced off of the demon, but they hoped it would distract him enough for Angel to get a clear shot at decapitating it. And sure enough, once one of the fired stakes lodged itself in the demon's shoulder, the demon turned its head and reached to remove the stake. Eyes narrowed at the target, Angel swung the axe, the blade coming in contact with the side of the demon's neck and removing its head cleanly from its shoulders and the rest of its body.
The trio smiled. "Well, that –was- easy." Said Cordelia happily, lowering the crossbow. "Yeah... feels kind of odd." Angel pointed out, "But I guess some are just lucky breaks." He finished, the kids having run off after the demon fell. "Yes, it seems rather speedy, but it looks as though it's dead." Said Wesley with observation. "What are we waiting for? Let's head back!" Cordy said impatiently, motioning toward the car. Silently, they all agreed, and they all got in the car, driving toward home, sweet home: Angel Investigations. When they arrived, the trio walked in through the doors. A thin figured woman was sitting at the desk. "Hello Angelus. Nice place you've got." She said in a melodious voice with a smile directed toward the shocked Angel.
