Chapter 4: Give your hand to go through.
Wesley, Fred, Gunn, Lorne, Angel and for the total despair of Angel, Spike were in the reunion room, sitting around the large table. Giving the report on what they were working at. When the turn came to Wesley, Angel doubled his attention. Wes explained what he had already told Angel to the others, showing the pictures and all. Fred was disgusted and didn't look more than one pic, Lorne just didn't watch.
- "So did that happen before? Is there something that causes it? Is that some kind of call or a sign of apocalypse? Why did the phenomenon just arrive in LA now? What's special with that other town?" Gunn was carrying on his questions without looking at the perplex looks the crew was sending him. When he finally looked up, he stopped.
- "Well" Wesley pursued "That did happen before once for sure and maybe two. Back a long time ago some children of a sect were used to play kamikazes to kill the person indicated by the chief. That sect has never been noticed because the people that composed it were all great noble of the French bourgeoisie."
- "Okay, but what's the link, those kids died in accidents, they didn't kill anyone." Fred interrupted.
- "Yeah, Im coming at it." Wesley answered smiling at her. "In fact, those kids didn't really kill persons they led those persons into trap disguised in accident the person would die with the child chosen for the task, no one would find it fishy."
Angel was paler than he usually was. Really concerned, he was looking in the space under the suspicious look of Spike.
- "So…You…You think those kids are the same kids?" he asked.
- "Well, it could be. Or not. See this sect adored all black magic, but they passed all their time destroying all kind of person or clan that was susceptible to practice it. First we thought it was to eliminate the concurrence but then when reading their bible, we could say, we found that they had in horror evil. They thought that black magic was a dangerous tool not for stupid people, they didn't believe in the devil neither in God, they just believed in power and supremacy. Well, I simplify but their cult was a lot more complicate than that."
- "So do you think those kids are after someone particular?" Angel asked trying to be detached. Spike didn't stop looking him, even though he didn't care at all about the file he could feel that something was wrong and he was happy, man something was happening.
- "Probably. But it's just a possibility, they may just search peace or help or anything. The fact is they still haven't killed anyone, so who knows. They're may be here to pass a message. What I don't understand is why in this town, why not here directly, that would make more sense if they were following someone."
- "Well, we have to find out before something happens. Wes you should search about the big guru, if someone would've followed his steps or anything. I will try to find out who they're after." Angel said.
- "Ooh that could be anyone, how ever you're gonna find this person!?" Spike asked playing dull. Angel just threw him a big glance full of signification.
They all left the room, Spike on Angel's heels. When the others where out of sight he spoke:
- "So? Do you have anything to tell me?"
- "No" Angel said firmly "Never had, never will"
- "Oh, yeah, maybe you prefer tell them. Or 'I' could"
- "Just stay away from my business."
