Enemy
Theme: Betrayal
Grandmama was the first to tell him he never listened well enough. And Grandmama was mostly right. But sometimes…
From where Gunn sits, it looks like Wesley kept secrets that compromised the safety of the group. A pissed off, insane with grief, lawyer torturing, black magic makin' Angel doesn't strike him as all too safe. And neither does not having the one guy around who could possibly explain what's going on.
He knows Wes thinks he's been betrayed. And on the days Gunn thinks about it, Wes has a point.
If you ever withhold information or attempt to subvert me again, I will fire you. - I can't have any one member of the team compromising the safety of the group, no matter who it is. If you do it again you will be dismissed, bag and baggage, out of a job onto the streets.
Most days, Gunn doesn't think. He just follows Wesley's orders.
