Angel sat on his bed, staring away into the darkness. Cordelia had been officially dead for 48 hours and the vampire could not seem to understand what had happened. She had given him her visions and Angel was amazed. One moment he was talking to Wesley, the next Wesley turned into a vampire. Then the building faded away and he stood in a alley, watching a vampire attacking a young boy. That was yesterday.
Yesterday he discovered what prize Cordy had given him. His friends were amazed that he knew where to find the girl, but never questioned why. And he had never told them. He didn't know how and if he should. But Cordelia...first the Grooslogg had shown up, taking her away from him. Then he was trapped under the ocean as she became a higher being. And when she came back down, she had no memory. And Conner took her away. Later she was in a coma, and now she was dead.
He had been with her for so long, but it seemed she was never actually there. And he shed no tears after her death. All Angel did was turn around and lock himself in his room. And that was all.
Until he was again hit with a vision.
He was a girl running towards him as his black room evanesced into a dark alley. He saw her speaking into a phone. Her name was Maljandra and someone wanted her dead. And quickly as the vison came, it went, leaving him in darkness once again. Angel knew what to do. He had to help this girl, and kill the man who tried to hurt her.

Harmony returned to her desk later after her drink. Pig's blood hardly satisfied her hunger, but it was all she was allowed to drink. She sighed. She missed the old days of hunting and killing victims for their blood. She missed the taste, the fun, the thrill.
But that was over now, and she shook these thoughts away, and sat down in the chair. "Hmm," she said, "A message." And the vampire played it, taking a large drink.
"Dammit!!" She heard the loud sound that was so sudden she almost dropped her blood. There was a bit of a pause before the person continued, "My name is Maljandra, and someone's chasing me! I don't know what he wants or anything but to have me dead." Again a pause. "Please pick up! Please! I need your help, now!!"
Harmony quickly wrote down the name and got up, ready to take it to Angel. But the vampire was already on his way out. "Uh, boss..." She said, holding out the paper, "There's a message for you. A girl..."
Angel lamely cut her off, "I know, Harmony. That's where I'm going." And he continued on his way to the elevator.
Intrigued at why he knew this, the undead woman followed behind him, "But that was a new message, how did you know?" But as usual she was disregarded and Angel went into the elevator without another word.
Harmony grunted as he left. He was always ignoring her. It was really starting to make her mad. Across the way she spotted Hamilton watching the elevator. He probably had been watching them the whole time. Harmony looked back at him and smiled. As a returning gesture the new liaison gave a solemn nod before turning away. Hmm, Harmony thought, watching the suit and tie retreat, He's never done that before...

Angel was too late by the time he reached Maljandra. Before he could even see her body, his vampiric senses smelled fresh blood...her blood. She was dead. He had failed. He hadn't been able to save her when she needed him.
For several long moments he stared at her body. He had been moping in his cave for two days and hadn't left. And as a result of that, this innocent girl had died. Angel knew what he had to do. He had to use these visions to save people. That's what Cordelia would have wanted. She wouldn't have wanted him to be moping around in his room. And so he wouldn't.
