A/N: I know I said before Saturday.. I got sidetracked by other things.. Sorry . Forgive me?
"Master Hanesly, sir" said the Butler almost timidly. He wasn't supposed to disturb him while he was working. Magnus turned his gaze behind him to glare at the Butler "What is it!" The Butler lowered his gaze in respect "More from Wolfram and Heart have arrived sir. The vampire is one of them." Mr. Hanesly sighed before turning back to the corpse "Kill them."
Chapter 5
Spike, Buffy and Angel all looked around the gallery at all the posed people. "I don't know. Maybe the geezer's just lonely. Throws himself a surprise party every night. Picks out one of these painted pigeons and shows her a good time, if you know what I mean. What? I'm sure they don't mind" smirked Spike. Buffy glared at him before she swatted the back of his head before moving to the opposite side of the room. "What did I say?" cried out Spike. Angel grinned "Oh just your usual old remarks that always get you in trouble." Spike glared at Angel before moving over towards Buffy trying to get her to forgive him.
The Butler enters the room and cleared his throat slightly. His hands were behind his back "Master Hainsley requests that I send you gentlemen, and lady, back to Wolfram and Heart" His hands moved out from behind his back revealing two long katanas "but not the way you arrived." Angel sighed before grabbing a cup from one of the posed figures "And all we just wanted was a cup of tea from Mr Hainsley oh well" He picked up the teaspoon that lay in the cup and threw it at the Butler. "A teaspoon!" exclaimed Buffy "I can't even touch the guy and Angel gets to kill him with a spoon!" Spike smirked "Well at least it wasn't the cup the bloke was killed with."
As the three moved into the other room, they arrived just in time to see a female climb off the stone alter "Oh sorry.. I really should be going" she replied hesitantly. She tried to hurry past them but was stopped by Angel. A cold growl escaped her lips and her eyes flashed red. "So this is what you've been doing" Angel turned his gaze to Mr. Hainsly "Putting demons into corpses so that they can walk around and no one would know they were demons."
"I know a few demons that would kill for that" replied Spike with thinking. Buffy turned to him and glared. "Well not exactly kill" back tracked Spike under her gaze until he remained quiet all together. Angel rolled his eyes "Give it up Spike."
"Well well well.. If it isn't Mr. Angel" smirked Mr Hainsley "I'm guessing that you got my message?" Angel growled "Yes I got your message and I came to respond to it personally." Buffy sighed "Can we get on with this? Was hoping to see actual fighting not.." She was cut off as she disappeared. "Oh bugger" replied Spike as he disappeared not long after her. "That's much better."
"Ghosts?" replied Mr. Hainsly "A vampire working with a couple of ghosts. Now all you need is a couple of ghouls and.." Angel cut Hainsley off before he could finish "I'm cutting off your supply, Hainsley. As of now your body shop is..." With a flick of Mr. Hainsley's wrist, Angel's body went rigid as his body froze in place. "You're just like any other dead to me Mr. Angel" smirked Mr. Hainsley. Buffy and Spike appeared at opposite ends of the room "Think you're precious ghosts will save you?" replied Mr. Hainsley.
"Hey I resent that! I just haunt the ponce" growled out Spike as he made his way over to Buffy. "Not really much we can do anyway" sighed out Buffy. Mr. Hainsley smirked and let Angel go letting him fall to the floor "There's so much I could do to you but in you're condition it would just be pathetic." Angel groaned slightly before he pulled out his cell phone and dialed it "Gunn.. Do it." he said quickly before he shut the phone. Hainsley looked around the room "Was that supposed to do something?" Angel smirked as he rose to his feet "Yeah it did. I just froze all your bank accounts, terminated your paper assets, and turned your books over to a very motivated contact we have at the I.R.S. 5 minutes from now, you'll have nothing but this house. 10 minutes from now, that'll go into foreclosure. I'll let myself out." He turned and headed towards the door. "You can't do that!" Angel smirked just as he was about to walk out the door, followed by Spike and Buffy who were not far behind him "I just did."
"So is that how you're going to fight the big bads now? Walk up to the front door of the IRS and get their help?" exclaimed Buffy. "The ponce doesn't seem to want to fight his own battles now that he's.." Buffy and Spike's ramblings were once again cut off as they both disappeared.
"Was wondering if they'd ever shut up.." grumbled Angel as he headed to his car.
Buffy and Spike both reappeared in front of Hainsley. "What the?.." they both said at the same time. "We seem to have something in common us three.. None of us want Mr. Angel in control of Wolfram and Heart.. and two of us don't want him alive.. well in his case no longer undead. I've got a proposition for you." Buffy glared at him "What makes you think I'll ever think of helping you!" Hainsley turned to her and flicked his wrist and her entire body turned into a white light before it moved over into one of the bottles he held on the wall."Buffy!" yelled out Spike "Now as I was saying.." replied Hainsley calmly "I'll free you're girlfriend if you help me." Spike glared coldly at him "What do I have to do?"
