Chapter 3

"Why don't you sit down and tell us what is happening?"

Connor felt uncomfortable sitting at the head of the table with these people. There was the other Wesley, Giles he remembered, Eye patch otherwise known as Xander, Willow, Kennedy, A red head called Vi, A teenager called Dawn and one other, He thought she was called Sarah.

"Dad and the others decided to take the fight to the Senior Partners. They killed all the bad guys, Black Thorn or something and the last I heard they were gonna meet up near Dad's hotel."

"The Hyperion?" Willow piped up

"Yeah. I seem to remember you have been there. It's a bit cloudy."

The others looked at Willow in surprise.

"I'll fill you in later. Though you won't like it."

Giles took his glasses off and absent mindedly wiped them. "Connor, please continue."

"Well, Dad and me took care of Hamilton." He noticed the looks " He was some dude that had the blood of the Senior Partners running through his veins. Dad took a taste of him. As far as I remember or can piece together Gunn was takin' care of some senator, Spike was rescuing a baby, Wesley was up against some warlock and Illyria was up against 4 others. I was told by my Father to go back to my family and he would be ok knowing I was safe. But I followed him to the alleyway."

"And then what happened?" Giles was not rubbing his glasses anymore.

"Spike, Illyria and Gunn showed up. From what I heard Gunn didn't have much time left but he still went into the battle. That's all I know."

There was silence until Willow asked "Connor, Who is Illyria?"

"She's a goddess of some kind. She killed someone close to them all and took over her body. I have to admit she looks hot in the leather she wears."

Willow sat back on her chair with tears in her eyes. She whispered one word. "Fred"

"Yeah she called it a shell the body she was in."

Willow's eyes changed and it took several minutes for Kennedy to calm her down.

Giles stood up and paced. He was good at the pacing.

"Connor. What did you see at the end?"

"I saw them all go down. Not dead but unconscious. Some black carriage then showed up and they were taken in that. Can you help them? I can feel that they are still alive. My dad anyway."

Giles looked at the young man.

"I think you should get some rest young man. We'll get something organised."

Xander stood up and motioned to Connor.

"C'mon I'll show you a room you can rest and freshen up in."

After the two of them left, Giles turned round to the others.

"How could we have been so stupid?"

"Giles, we didn't know that he was planning something, did we?" said Willow.

"We should've known that Angel would not have turned to evil. It wasn't Angelus, was it?"

"What are we going to do about it then? Are we gonna call Buffy or Faith for this one?" asked Dawn.

"Not yet. Willow, I want Kennedy,Vi, Xander, Sarah and yourself to go with Connor back to LA in a day or two. He needs some rest before then."

"And what are we going to do then?" piped up Kennedy.

"First off, you wait till Dawn and myself hit the books and find out what we can do."

"And then what?"

"Do what was asked by a young man who is in need of help. Rescue his father."

The whole room sat stunned. It was Vi who popped up with the question that was on everyone's lips.

"Uhh Mr Giles? How are we gonna do that?"
