The world swirled around Wesley until things came into focus. He was in a dark passageway which was partly lit by a torch on the wall next to him. Dagnos had a tight grip on him and his feet were above the ground. Every time he tried to loosen from the demon's grip it would become tighter. Dagnos retrieved the torch from the wall and began walking down a long passageway.

"So I assume if you wanted me dead I would be already?" Wesley asked

"I do not wish to harm you human." Dagnos replied.

"Then perhaps putting me firmly on the ground would be the first step." Wesley said.

Dagnos slowing set Wesley down on the ground and they continued walking down the long dark passageway. Judging from the chipped walls around him these corridors were built long ago.

"Where are we?" He asked.

"Under Wolfram & Hart, it's the lowest level of the law firm." Dagnos said.

"That's impossible the dungeon is the lowest level." Wesley argued.

"Wolfram & Hart has been here much longer than you know. It has served clients for over generations."

Wesley looked down at the talisman around Dagnos' neck.

"The talisman, why was Beck after it?" Wesley asked.

"He was not after it, The Miage was. He has pursued me for years to get it. It grants me the power of invincibility. He can not remove it himself, that's why he recruited that human."

"Now I must ask you about your sphere. The cage was destroyed and a portal was created my friend was pulled in. I need your help to get him back." Wesley said.

"Looking for you friend will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. The sphere is not only a portal through time but space as well. Your friend could be in any dimension at any time." Dagnos said.

"There has to be a way." Wesley said growing impatient.

"There may be, I will need several items including your friends blood. We must tread lightly though The Miage is a dangerous foe who will easily wipe you all out." Dagnos said.

"How is he even here according to my records he disappeared Four-Hundred years ago?" Wesley asked.

"He stole the sphere from me once; he must have used it to see his future and to steal another sphere from a different time." Dagnos answered.

"If you could just teleport us to the lab you could take a look at the sphere now." Wesley said.

"My power is recharging it will be sometime before I am at full strength."

Wesley then worried about Fred and the rest of his friends. They would not be prepared for a fight. The demons would surely kill them if he could not get Angel back as soon as possible.

Charles Gunn was going through hundreds of file cabinets compiling all the information on Dagnos. From what he had put together so far Dagnos had very few dealings with the firm. He was a demon of the non-violence type, for most of the time. He only used violence when all other actions failed. Wolfram & Hart had helped him develop the sphere and in also dealing with The Miage. Little did Dagnos know that the firm was also working with The Miage. They double crossed him in order to get their hands on the sphere. The Miage was promised the talisman but was also double crossed. Two different files detailed the events that followed. One stated that the firm had killed The Miage the other said that he used magic to escape the law firm's clutches. The Talisman around Dagnos' neck was of significance in that it gave him the power of invincibility. There was just one drawback for wearing the talisman it would eventually kill you. Gunn read on to learn more about the sphere and the connection between it and Dagnos. A pounding on the door suddenly drew his attention. The door then broke open releasing four Reshald demons. He began to fight them but they were two strong and would eventually overpower him. He ran into the elevator just as the doors closed behind him. The elevator began to proceed upward without him pushing a single button then a flash of white light blinded him. He was in the white room and the black cat was there waiting for him. Its eyes stared through him right down to his soul. He did not have time for this he had to get to Wesley as soon as possible. Suddenly he was right in front of Wesley and a demon who he assumed by the talisman was Dagnos.

"Gunn?" Wesley asked sounding confused.

"I don't know how I got here but I have to tell you about big man's talisman here. According to the files it will eventually kill the wearer."

"That explains why Dagnos was locked in a sealed tomb in perfect hibernation." Wesley said.

"There's more. Dagnos' life force is connected to the sphere." Gunn added.

"What are you saying?" Wesley asked.

"I'm saying that when he dies so does the sphere and any chance of us saving Angel."
