Chapter 5

"I'm Bently Wetherstock and I represent Wofram and Hart. I believe you have a Connor Angel here."

Giles looked at the suited man and knew immediately what he wanted to do to him. He just wished the girls weren't watching.

"I'm sorry? Who?"

"Now Mr Giles or may I call you Rupert or Ripper. We know he is here and he is wanted for questioning in LA for alledged murder of my associate Mr Hamilton."

Giles took his glasses off and started wiping them with his hankerchief. The girls who were watching took this as a sign to move away from the scene.

"Mr Hamilton? Sorry never heard of him or a Connor Angel. And it's Mr Giles to you."

"Now Mr Giles, you are an intelligent man and you've done many wonderful things in getting the Watchers Council back like a phoenix from the flames. You do not surely want to throw it all away just for the sake of an adolescent boy?"

Xander moved from the door and moved slowly toward the weapons locker in the hallway. He noticed from his limited vision that Willow was on the second floor balcony and her hair had gone white, Kennedy at her side with the automatic crossbow. Two other slayers on the third, swords in their hands and he could tell that the army were ready with weapons in their hands.

"I would stop that young man Mr Giles. He might lose more than his eye this time." Wetherstock turned to Xander " We can replace that eye for you if you like. Just to show you that we mean you, your slayers and your father figure here no harm"

Xander looked at Wetherstock and smirked. " let me see you're offering me a new eye if I bow down to evil? Why don't you throw in the complete collection of Babylon 5, all star trek programmes and every single episode of Doctor Who when you're at it.!"

"Done!"

"Oh I can tell you want something that bad. There isn't a whole collection of Doctor Who from number 1 to 10 – Old episodes are gone. Deleted and destroyed. I actually prefer from Tom Baker onwards actually."

Wetherstock looked at the one eyed man and not a flicker of emotion showed on his face.

"Foolish Boy!"

Giles moved closer to Wetherstock.

"Mr Wetherstock, I do believe your business here is done. We have no person here that you're seeking, and I do think you should leave."

Wetherstock looked at him

"And you're gonna make me?"

"Oh Yes!"

Wetherstock set down his briefcase and whispered in Giles' ear." And how do you think you can do that?"

"Mr Wetherstock. I am gonna tell you something that may surprise you, but you have been a normal, MORTAL, human since you came through the doors to this place. The only people who can have any strength in here are slayers and people we wish. And you Wetherstock we do not wish."

Wetherstock looked surprised and Giles caught the look of worry in his eyes. And done the only thing he could do with saving face.

He threw a punch.

The fight lasted less that a minute. Giles dodged the punch and brought his knee up and hit Wetherstock where it hurt.

Wetherstock fell to the ground, screaming like a girl.

Giles moved closer and threw a hard punch into his jaw

Wetherstock went out like a light. Giles put his glasses back on

"Take him to the holding room. We need to know what he knows himself."

Just then Wetherstock stood up , eyes red and he was snarling and he sent the slayers holding him flying.

Giles heard his name being shouted and a sword appearing in his hand. He swung it in an arc and Wetherstock's head went flying into the corner. The headless body turning to dust as soon as the head was gone.

Giles looked at the dust on the floor and put his glasses back on.

"Hmmm a vampire able to walk in uninvited and also able to exist in sunlight. It seems to Senior Partners are willing to go that extra mile to get hold of our young Connor. Xander would you go to the training area and collect the young man."

Xander walked to the door and opened it….. and abruptedly closed it again. " I think I'll give him a few minutes"

To the slayers and scoobies in the hallway there was a giggle as the Leader of the council said the one thing that came to his mind.

"Oh Dear God"
