Chapter 2: Children, Go where I send thee!
'Schonk!'
- "Spike… Get out my office!" Angel said calmly when Spike phased into his office. Still playing with his pen, looking through the window. The people outside, in the daylight. So close yet…so far.
- "Whatcha doin'?" Spike asked, playfully. He was dead bored, literally. Angel didn't answer. "Brooding?" still no answer. "Okay then" Spike sat on a chair front of Angel's desk. Angel took up his head and looked Spike before throwing his pen at him, the pen going through his immaterial body. "You know being stuck here is as painful for me as it is for you, even more"
- "I bet it is" Angel got back looking the city. Spike sighed when Wesley burst in the office.
- "Oh do I interrupt something?" He says adjusting his grip on all the papers he was carrying.
- "No" Angel replied simply. Angel turned around with his chair to face Wesley and put his hands crossed on his desk. "What's up?"
- "Well, maybe something, but it's not really clear yet." Wesley stared Spike briefly then Angel. Well Spike stuck in the building doesn't mean he's an ally. Angel nodded; he was more playing the indifference with Spike.
Wesley put on the desk the papers, front of Angel. Angel took one and grimaced, suddenly interested Spike got up and went behind his shoulder. Angel sighed, man! If patience was gas he could travel a lot. Angel knew exactly what he was looking at but what was the point that he didn't know. He threw a perplex look to Wes and waited explanation. Spike had returned to his chair quite bored, so okay the pictures where about dead children, big deal. He would have preferred something more exiting. Wesley began:
- "Okay so these pics date from about 2 weeks, like you see it's quite gore. Witnesses said that this kid fell on the railroad a few seconds before the train pass in a subway, center of the city. Accident, probably" Angel was confused, how did that concern them. Seeing his face Wesley continued. "Nobody noticed him till too late. The police reported that the kid his unknown, he doesn't exist in any missing files; and he was wearing weird clothes, difficult to analyse seeing…well…but people here got to and they say that those clothes are 2 or 3 hundred years old…weird, but still not really our concern until they dug a little more and found out that in 2 months 9 kids died from accidents, all different, they were all the same age and were wearing the same kind of clothes. And plus the 8 first kids are dead in the same city. One has been torn apart by dogs, apparently those dogs were domestic but this night they went crazy and ran away of their houses to jump on that kid who nobody noticed before the drama. Another was obviously walking near a lake before his feet tangled in some fishing net, he fell into the water and got stuck, the report said that he was probably still alive when the little boat passed and its helix hit his head and…hum…well, that continues like that but I'll pass the other details. The thing is that there are too many cases for it to be just accidental. And now its here, in LA, whatever it can be. "
- "Where did that begin?" Angel asked looking the reports, Wesley pointed something on the report. Angel looked him, and got up. "Hum…Ill put people on it."
- "I think we should take care of it, we…."
- "Well, we might but till we got more…Im taking care of it…" he went to the door. "See ya"
- "Okay" Wesley watched him leave, frowning. He then turned toward Spike confused, who smiled.
- "Im a ghost don't look at me." And shrugged.
