Angel knelt down next to the body of his son, he pushed a hand tightly to his mouth as though he would be sick and turned away closing his eyes so the tears threatening to spill couldn't. A few seconds was all he needed before he could look again, carefully lifting connors wrist for a pulse he knew he wouldn't find then his sons neck taking time to cup the boys cheek gently with his hand as he pulled away, the fond memories of rocking baby connor to sleep flashing across angels tired mind. A flash of hatred towards his own kind grew, the bright marks and blood from a fresh bite drew his attention on his sons neck. Angel turned towards dru grabbing her wrists and flying across the room pushing her into the wall roughly hitting her head on the stone. "what have you done to him, was he a meal or just a snack for you to torment me with?" Dru looked at her sire with sad eyes, she struggled in angels arms her loosely gloved hands trying to scratch his wrists with no success. "daddy I've done nothing wrong why must I sit in the corner…" Her confused mind not picking up on the harsh words angel spat from his mouth. "what did you do dru? I wont ask again" more of his angelus persona came into view as he spoke.
He reached into his pocket with his other hand and pulled out his cell phone, pressing and holding the speed dial for the hotel. Fred picked up on the second ring, cheerily answering hello angel investigations. "fred its me, get gunn and get to" he looked around for a address or name of the building, his eyes landing on the large font above the exit "anders warehouse its 3rd and spring rd. I found connor" the tone in his voice was harsh, full of regret of what he couldn't prevent. Fred took down the address her smile dropping and reached into the desks front drawer for the keys to Gunn's truck sorting through the stakes and paper clutter. "I'm on my way" she heard the click of angel disconnecting and grabbed the keys leaving the drawer open in her haste, hurrying carefully upstairs she knocked at the room she shared with her boyfriend. A large note was taped to the bedroom mirror, she walked up grabbing reading and throwing it down within 3 seconds of finding it. The crumpled remains simply said "gone out" Fred was out of the room before it hit the floor holding the hand rail and biting back a curse as she tripped on the step for a second time that day. Groaning to herself she hurried out the door to Gunn's truck and started it up "last thing I need is someone breaking there neck on that stupid step."
Fred drove to Wesley's knocking frantically until he answered. "fred what's… " he didn't get the chance to finish as fred walked into his apartment and went straight for his weapons chest. "angel found connor he didn't sound happy about it" Wesley looked at her strangely for a second then reached down pulling out a suitcase like box and a tarp looking at fred. "lets get going" She pulled a knife from his accessories and fallowed him out of the place "what's the tarp for?" Wesley locked the front door turning to look at her as the bolt locked into place. "for whom ever angel killed getting to his son." They drove to the address in silence fred opening the small suitcase and pulling out a small silver gun looking almost like a 9 mm but the tranquilizer bullets in the case told her it wasn't meant to kill just take something down. Driving into the drop off delivery dock fred got out of the truck and opened the door pushing it up enough for Wes to drive the bed of the truck in away from the early morning rays sneaking across the sky.
Wes ducked under the rolled up metal door holding out his hand, she pressed the loaded tranq gun into his palm and stood back knowing to wait for another second or two before fallowing. He stepped in cautiously not able to see much inside, the sun hadn't rose enough to light the dark dusty building, only enough to illuminate the dust floating thought the air. Angel heard this footsteps and turned for a second his hand still on Dru's throat, the same position it had been since he called fred. "gunn? Over here." Wes cringed turning towards his old friends voice and called out "gunn wasn't available" he stepped closer now noticing angels form pushing someone against the wall. "I hope ill do." the hint of sarcasm in his voice wasn't appreciated. Fred ducked down walking in now, staying by the door incase it was a trap. Wes aimed the gun for the figure in angels grasp. "any others?" angel glared at his childe she started giggling and reached up to scratch angels cheek with her hand drawing a line of blood down the side of his face. "connors…he motioned towards the other side of the warehouse and fred exchanged a look with wes before walking in that direction. Wes kept his hands steady moving up slightly every time dru moved.
Fred walked cautiously away from the group, she held the knife at shoulder height and crept forward, each step she took she heard dru screaming louder about a night or maybe she heard wrong. There was suddenly silence and we pushed the tranq gun into his pocket, angel picking up Drusillas body and looking over at fred. She kept walking, nearing the upturned table connor laid across. Angel shouted out letting dru slip to the floor. "Fred stop" he looked at wes and frowned motioning for him to stop her. Fred dropped to her knees alarming wes and angel, the vampire could hear her tears and realizes she knew what he was still hoping was a nightmare. Wes exchanged a look with angel then ran for fred kneeling down next to her and upon seeing connors body held her turning her face to look away from the sight. His eyes were open blood leaking down the side from his eyes like he was crying tears. His neck was bloody two or three bite marks on the right side and his left hand upon inspection was covered in blood as though he tried to stop the bleeding. His legs were straight dangling from the end of the table edge and his ankle turned oddly at a angel. Wes pulled fred backwards towards angel and grabbed the tarp they had brought, fred was in hysterics holding tightly onto angels arm and crying burying her face into his chest. Wesley watched with a pang of jealously and carefully spread out the tarp, lifting connor onto it and stepped back letting it sink in. After a moment he knelt down closing the kids eyes and lifted his arms to his sides making it easier to carry him. Wes wrapped the tarp tightly around connor tucking it in at his sides and lifted the teen sadly, angel had Drusilla in his arms and fred fallowed to the truck, the sun was already starting to rise as they left the warehouse it was going to be a sad day ahead. Angel grabbed a second tarp wes had in the back of the truck and laid drusilla down on one side of the back bed he pulled the tarp across and crawled in under it before wes shut the back. Angel looked to his right, dru laid peacefully drugged she looked like a sleeping maiden from one of those stupid romance novels, hair falling perfectly around her head waiting to be kissed to be woken, on his left connors tarp covered body rest, angel could smell blood, he turned his head back to look at dru and stayed silent the entire ride home.
