Jasmine and Penn walked through the sewer system till they came to Angel's home. Angel wasn't really happy to see them but knew that Jasmine needed a quiet place to sleep through the day so that hopefully later that night or the next they could leave. Angel pulled Penn away from Jasmine's sleeping form to talk. "What are you going to do when she is strong enough to leave?" he asked quietly. "I'm going to take her far away so that we can live together and be happy for the rest of my life and maybe by then she can come back here to be with you." It killed Penn to know that he would die one day and he hoped that Jasmine would come back to the man who made and cared for her all those years ago.
The police on the other hand decided that all the people involved where dangerous and needed to be arrested due to violence to the police. They were labeled armed and dangerous and to be approached with caution. So they started to run Penn's name and Jasmine to see if they had any property or contacts to the others. They found a license Angel had for an apartment/business so from there they got an address and they formulated a plan of attack and extraction for everyone inside.
They decided to do the raid in the early evening and use only six guys for the extraction. They didn't think that three men and two girls could do much damage to them but they were underestimating the powers of a really pissed off female vampire. Jasmine was very protective of her sire and lover as well as Angel's two friends even if she didn't really know them.
Jasmine awoke a few minutes after sunset and decided to come and join the rest of them for a meal; she didn't know that it was her last meal with one of her friends. She and Angel drank pig's blood while everyone else ate steak and salad and the conversation went from sports to the past to everything in between. Angel was enjoying this type of conversation when a noise alerted him to something upstairs.
They all went with him to investigate it just in case it was a demon that needed to be killed or a client that needed to be helped. When they got off the elevator they were surrounded by the police and forced into a van and taken to the warehouse that Kate's lifeless body was found. Word from the head boss said not to leave any witnesses to what was going to happen to those who helped a cop killer.
Jasmine understood that the cops weren't going to take them into custody but kill them before they shot her a little below the rib cage. Angel was also shot but the other three including Penn were just held there to watch their friends die. Slowly Jasmine stood up and looked at the cop. "That hurt a bit but I'm sorry that I killed your friend. That's no reason to kill the others you have me just kill me." The cops were stunned when she stood up and after listening to her words they turned to kill her.
What happened next was a blur to everyone but jasmine saw it with pure clarity. Penn stood up hit one of the cops and ran in front of Jasmine just as the other five started to fire. Jasmine hit the floor with two shots in her but laying on top of her was Penn and he was hit in the chest and right below the collarbone. She held Penn close to her and felt his life start to slip from him. "Penn why did you do something so stupid?" she said with tears running down her face. "You killed someone to bring me back so I died so that you could live and be happy. Don't try to bring me back let me go in peace." He whispered. She held him close and she felt him pass and something inside he snapped.
She stood up and looked at the six cops and what went through her mind was terrifying. "I could kill all of them before they could stop me." Right after the thought left her mind she attacked. The cops never saw her coming and in less than thirty seconds five of the six cops were dead. She left one alive and told him to leave before she changed her mind. He ran and turned in a resignation paper that very night and moved away.
Jasmine turned and looked at Angel and saw disappointment in his eyes; she had killed innocent people and now she felt her soul being ripped in two due to the killing and loosing her love. "I'm sorry Angel for killing these people but I couldn't stop myself. They killed him and I'm sorry." She turned to walk away and Angel hugged her. "It's ok. They killed the one person you loved and know he's gone." "What are you going to due with his body?" he asked quietly. "I'm going to bury him someplace he told me to when we were younger." "He wanted to be buried in the ocean just wrapped up weighted down and dropped into the water. So that's what I'm going to do before I go back to England for a while to think."
As she stood there looking at the still water of the ocean she remembered and reflected on what had caused her to bury her Penn below the cold, still, dark waters of the Pacific. Not more than an hour ago she had rented a boat and her and Angel paid their last respects to Penn and laid him to rest in the ocean. She could still remember the song Angel had sang in soft Gaelic to remember the dead. After standing by the water she walked back to Angel and his car to be taken back to his place and sleep till time to catch her boat to go back home for a while. "I think I'm going to visit my mother's grave when I get home and apologize for hurting her and father over all those years." She said softly to angel as she laid her head on his shoulder. "I think that Penn would like that a lot." "I think he would Jasmine I really do." Angel said as he pulled into the garage and carried Jasmine to bed.
