Chapter 1

Discovery

Cordelia and Angel walked out of the basement. Angel's side was bleeding and Cordy had a black eye and scratches on her arm.

"You're not telling me something," said Cordy, "The way you looked at that thing. It's like you knew it or something."

Before Angel had a chance to answer, the front door opened with a bang and there stood Wesley soaking from head to toe.

"I'm gonna kill those weathermen," said Wesley sarcastically, "Of course they said it would be sunny, but no it had to be pouring rain outside and I had no umbrella!"

Cordelia snickered.

"You think this is funny?" said Wes, "Try tracking a demon in the rain, and an ugly one at that."

"Wait," said Angel, "you were tracking a demon?"

"Yes, and I thought I saw it come in here and by the looks of you two it did."

"It sure did," said Cordy, "And I have a hunch that Angel might know who it is.

Angel just gave Cordy a blank stare and turned towards Wes. Unfortunately, Wesley was also staring.

"Actually, it's a long story," remarked Angel.

"Well we can wait," said Cordy.

"Well….."

At that instant a beautiful woman barged through the front door of Angel Investigations.

"Perfect timing," murmured Cordy.

"I need the service of a man named Angel," said the woman, "Is he here?"

"Yes I'm Angel"

"Oh, I thought he was a vampire?"

Angel vamped. "I am."

"Well," said the woman, "Let us get down to business. I have reason to believe that the demon who attacked thought he was a vampire?"

Angel vamped. "I am."

"Well," said the woman, "Let us get down to business. I have reason to believe that the demon who attacked you is related to you.
