Sunnydale Police Station

"Riley you need to stop this. You're only drawing more attention to yourself and this case. The more you harass this girl worse it's going to get." Police Chief Richards said angrily.

"What am I supposed to do then? Let her get away with calling me a rapist?" He said standing up to the police chief.

"You are bro." Forrest said to his friend.

"So what if I am, no one else needs to know that." Riley said nastily.

"You know what kid? I've had enough of your crap." The Chief said turning to look out the window of his office. "We're finished. You find our own way out of this mess." He told him.

"What?" Riley asked.

"You heard me, now get the hell out of my office before I have you arrested for rape." He growled, never turning to look back at the boy.

Riley turned and stormed out of the station.

"Dad what'd you do that for?" Forrest asked once Riley was gone.

"Riley is drawing too much attention to all this and that little blonde bitch is too righteous to stop, I can't afford this kind of publicity if I want to run for mayor next month." He told his son.

"I understand." Forrest said before walking out the door of his dad's office.

Later that Day

"Well I've got good news for you." Gunn said walking into the apartment.

"What is it?" Buffy asked the detective as he handed him a glass of water.

"Chief Richards is no longer backing Riley Finn. He said he'd actually help with the case if we wanted."

"Oh my god, really? Why?" Buffy asked as she sat next to Angel on the couch.

"Don't know, don't care, but this is good cause now there's nothing stopping us from going after Riley."

"What about the lawsuit for slander?" Buffy asked.

"Without the chief's lawyer handling the case that wont even be an issue."

"Wow…does that mean we may actually stand a chance?" Angel asked.

Before Gunn could answer his cell phone rang. "Charles Gunn." He said picking it up. Gunn stayed quiet for a few minutes listening to who was on the phone. "Uh huh. Okay thanks, bye." He said shutting his phone. He turned back and looked at the young couple a grin spreading over his face. "They've arrested Finn. Charged with the rape of Buffy Summers."

"Oh god…what…what happens now?" She asked.

"He sits in jail for about a month before the trial which shouldn't take more than two seconds with all the evidence against him." Gunn told them with a smile.

"A huge smile broke out on the couples faces. "Oh god this is great." Buffy said happily.

"Well listen I've got to go, get some work done. I'll call Lindsay and tell him the good news." Gunn said standing and heading out. Angel followed him out.

"Thank you."

"No problem anything I can do to help." Gunn said before leaving.

Angel shut the door and entered the living room. He looked over at Buffy. "I'm so happy." He told her was he drew her into his arms.

Buffy smiled and laid her head on his chest. "Thank you so much for everything Angel."

"I love you."

"I love you."

Months passed and Riley's trial for rape came and went. He was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison.

Once the gang was all back they celebrated by having a party at the apartment.

Buffy and Angel were getting closer and the more time they spent with each other the harder it was for them NOT to be together.

Buffy had practically moved into Angel's room, she never slept in her own bed. The only use for her room was to house her things.

Buffy and Angel were lying in Angel's queen sized bed after a passionate make-out session. "So… I think you're clothes can go on the left side of the closet and anything that doesn't need to be hung up can go in the bottom drawers, you can put your make-up in the bathroom and I'll…"

"Angel what in the world are you talking about?" She asked looking up at him from her place on his chest.

"You moving into my room."

"What do we need to do that for? My stuff is down the hall not on the other side of town."

"Well…I spoke to Kathy the other day. She wants to move back in." He told her. "So I figured you could move into my room and she could move back to her room." He told her. "If you want that is." He finished shyly.

Buffy only smiled. He can be so adorable some times. "Of course I would." She said kissing him softly on the chest.

"Good."
