Water could be heard leaking from an old rusty pipe in the downtown warehouse in Los Angela's. It was dark, damp, and scary. Little Jasmine awoke and immediately looked around in shock.

"M-mommy?" she muttered. She looked to her side and saw her brother. "Oh no, Maddox, Maddox! Please wake-up!" she said in complete fear. Little Maddox woke to his sister's cries

"Where are we? Where's Mommy and Daddy? the little boy was very frightened and he wanted his parents. "Jazz, is that you?" his voice trembled.

"Y-yes it's me." she stuttered

W-where are Mommy and D-Daddy? W-where are we?" the little boy felt for his big sister's hand in the dark, cold cell

"I-I don't know..." she stuttered. She snatched his hands and squeezed it tightly. She was older then he be a few seconds, but wasn't he suppose to be the brave one?

"I-I'm scared." This wasn't his nice warm bed and Mommy and Daddy weren't just down the hall. The last thing he remembered was...being taken from his bed! "Jazz, the monsters!"

"W-where?" she screamed looking around.

"Not here! In the house! They took us!" Maddox stood up quickly and went to the bars of the cell. He looked around outside the cell. There was nothing or no one he thought with a lump in his throat.

"Maddox...get away from the bars..." she whispered weakly. Obviously scared

All of a sudden a demon with a spear popped out and grabbed Maddox's pajama collar, ripping it and sending the little boy to the floor.

"You brats stay there and don't come any closer or I might sacrifices of you a little earlier than planned." the demon grunted scaring the two children.

"S-sacrifice?" stuttered Jazz...she knew what that word meant...and now she was horrified. Where was Mommy and Daddy?

She felt her brother's hand slip into hers again. He had a small dabble of blood coming from his neck where the demon had scrapped him.

"That's right. To the demon goddess, Mina. I think she'll like you."

Maddox stood tall again.

"Nu-uh. Mommy and Daddy will save us! They'll come!"

"Yeh!" said Jazz with obvious bravado.

The demon smirked and then went away. Maddox went to the bars again.

"You better run, you...you bully!"

Jazz merely stood in the corner, being the more fears one of the two she shivered..."Maddox...what if Daddy and Mommy don't come?" she whispered. Maddox turned to his sister. What was she saying.

"They will. They have to."

The second part was a whisper. The truth was, Maddox didn't know if Mommy and Daddy would come.

Angel turned and surveyed Wesley. Why was he asking his help? Wasn't he capable of getting his own children back? "Why should I help you?" the old vampire growled.

"Because I love them, they're all I've got. They mean more to me than my life! Please!" the man begged.

"You took Connor, and I loved him." yelled Angel

Wesley looked shamefully at the tiled floor of the Hyperion hotel lobby. "And I live with that mistake everyday."

Angel merely sighed deeply, remembering what Cordy had said. "I know...so do I."

Suddenly Lilah entered, drunken, and carrying a crossbow. "YOU BASTARD! HELP US!" she was clearly quite intoxicated and the way she stumbled about the lobby showed it all too well.

Cordy ran in seeing Lilah with a crossbow and easily disarmer her using a move Angel taught her. "We will,"

"We what?" asked Angel in disbelief.

We'll help them. Why can't we put all this in the past? He said sorry and he damn well meant it. Why can't we help them?" Cordelia pleaded with her husband.

Angel merely sighed and nodded

"Ok..." he said casting his eyes to the ground.

"Thank you." Wesley merely said, his voice deep and he meant every word he said.

Lilah leaned heavily on her husband and he supported her. "Maybe we should get her some coffee and do some research before we go kick this thing's ass. Did you have any enemies?"
