Buffy and Wesley walked into a room that was underconstruction after
recieving a tip.
"Okay so if he got the fake hoodoo from this guy, why would he hang around?" Buffy asked.
"He wouldn't, but maybe this Maury guy can help us find where Angelus is hiding."
They find Maury dead.
"No....but I can," Angelus said and they look at him.
"Little Birdie in my head told me you'd be here," Angelus said talking about the beastmaster's voice that talks to him in his head.
Buffy shoots at Angelus but misses. Angelus kicks her in the stomach, and she goes flying back into a column. Wesley cocks the shotgun and fires a round but misses. He continues until Angelus sends him over a railing 20 feet down. He picks up the gun.
"Uh-oh. Vampire with a gun," Angelus smirks.
Buffy runs as Angelus shoots at her.
"I can see why he likes this thing," Angelus said.
Buffy falls down a staircase and Anelus follows. He points the gun in Buffy's face.
"You really have gone soft now haven't you? I mean after you almost got killed by Spike. HA! It was Spike come on. He was able to get neutered by people who weren't even nearly as strong as you and he kicked your butt. Do you still wanna die Buff?"
"No," Buffy said softly.
"What?"
"No."
"I can't hear you."
"NO!" Buffy yeled.
Angelus cocked the gun. "Too bad cos you're gonna." He cocks the gun again until its empty. "But not like this."
Buffy kicks the shotgun from Angelus, then kicks at his feet. He jumps and then she gets up and they start fighting. Buffy kicks Angelus and then he knocks her to the ground. Angelus kicks Buffy again and again, rolling her across the floor.
"Up never used to bleed this easy," Angelus said noticing how Buffy wasn't fighting back.
"Screw you," Buffy said getting on her hand and knees.
"Hey Buddy! How's it going in there?" Angelus calls over to where Wes is and He doesn't answer. "Good ol' Wes. Alwyas making a bad situation worse. I mean look how you turned out. I guess he really didn't have much to work with."
"Save the head trip. I knew you wold try and get in my head, I have just what I need to Scratch you out," Buffy smirked then coughed.
Buffy hurled a knife at Angelus and it hits him in the chest. She gets up takes the knife out and engages him in a sward fight. She turns and finds he's not there after he sends her to the ground.
"That hurt. I kinda liked it," Angelus said gabbing Buffy and Vamping out. "You'll know what I mean."
He bites into Buffy.

Fred is researching at the Front desk when Gunn comes in through the front door carrying a passed-out Angelus.
"Connor!" Gunn yelled.
Fred sees what Gunn's doing," Oh, my God! Angelus."
Gunn started carrying Angelus down the stairs. "Pick up your tranq gun. I don't know how much time we have. Connor!"
"What happened?" Fred asked.
"Wes called, I went," Gunn said.
"Where is he? Where's Buffy?" Fred asked.
Lorne walked into the lobby, "Well, what is all the--Aah! Angelus! He's in the hotel."
Gunn looked to Fred, "Gimme steel shackles. "
"Oh, uh, but maybe we're already aware of that," Lorne said.
"All I had was rope in the truck," Gunn said.
"What's going on?" Connor asked from the balcony.
Gunn called to Connor, "Get down here now. Leg irons too."
Connor hustles down the stairs, "She found him."
Lorne looked around, "Wesley and Buffy. Where are they?
"Get him downstairs," Wesley said.
"What happened to Buffy?" Connor asked.
"She captured Angelus," Wesley said walking in with an unconsious Buffy in his hands.
"God, what did he do to her?" Fred asked quietly.
"Gunn?" Wesley asked.
"We got it," Gunn said.
"She looks not well," Lorne looks at Buffy.
"She gonna be-" Connor starts.
Gunn looks at Connor, "Wake up, kid. I need you here."
"Help me with her," Wesley said to the two others.
Wesley carried the unconsious Buffy down the hallway into a room. Fred and Lorne are following him. Wesley lays Buffy's limp body on the bed for the second time in a few years. Lorne goes to look at Buffy and he looks in her eyes then sees her arm that is discolored from where she injected a drug into it. Lorne looks at Wesley who is just staring at Buffy. Fred brings a bowl of water and a towel and sits beside Buffy. She removes the bandage at Buffy's neck and see's the bite marks. Fred then starts to clean Buffy's neck. While Fred cleans Buffy's neck, Buffy twitches.
"Scratch you out," Buffy mumbled.
"She's not making any sense," Fred said to Lorne and Wesley.
Lorne goes to Wesley and whisperes," And speaking of sense, have you gone on permanent sabbatical from yours? Tell me you did no shot that girl full of junk and then feed her to Angelus."
"It was Buffy's choice. She knew the risks," Wesley said.
Lorne started tlaking a little louder," She couldn't!" Fred looked at them then he quieted down again. "Wesley I know what that drug does to people. Especially when they supersize the doses to make sure they really get the job done. And you damn well know it too."
Connor walks in and stares at Buffy. Fred, Wesley, and Lorne are sitting near the bed where Buffy's resting.
"What's going to happen to her?" Connor asked.
"Actually, I'd like to start with what exactly was it Wesley?" Fred asked crossing her arms.
"Orpheus," Lorne said.
"Orpheus?" Connor asked.
"Some kind of opiate?" Fred asked.
"Mystical variety. Humans inject it. Vampires feed off the humans. Folks tried to deal it at Caritas. The only people I ever banned from my club," Lorne said.
"So if ordinary humans do this junk, slayers are all super right?" Fred asked.
"That's what makes it so dangerous. Orpheus isn't entirely physical. It's and enchanted drug," Lorne explained.
"Magic. This is what it gets you," Connor mumbled.
"That plus the bitting....The more you take the deeper you sink," Lorne said.
"It leads you down to hell and leaves you there," Wesley said.
