Chapter 7
.
Angel had a horrible nightmare, and he wasn't sure which parts of it were true. One part involved Eve coming into his bedroom, and putting some kind of creature on him. The ending involved Spike coming in and saving Angel's life. He really hoped that part was just a dream. At any rate he was weakened, his team came to see him, Gunn, Lorne, Fred, Lindsay and Eve.
.
Gunn: You're lucky Spike was here to save you.
Angel: Yeah, really lucky.
Fred: How did Spike even know you needed help?
Lindsay: Maybe he set this whole thing up so he could save you, and you'd trust him more than you should. It's what I'd do.
Angel: Eve, you were the one who put that thing on me.
Eve: Angel, you dreamed about me in this little nightmare? I'm flattered.
Angel: Except you weren't wearing those clothes.
Lorne: A shapeshifter maybe, or a glamour spell to hide their identity.
Angel: She was wearing, those.
.
Angel then gestured towards Fred.
.
Fred: What?
Angel: Those earings of yours, Eve was wearing them in my dream.
Fred: You dreamed of Eve wearing my earings, creepy.
Angel: I've never seen you with those earings before. Maybe you got careless, used a glamour to take Eve's form, but forgot about the earings.
Eve: I hate to say it, but I've also never seen you wearing those earings before.
Fred: Maybe you stole them Eve, tried to confuse Angel.
Lindsay: Eve was working on a project with me all day.
Fred: And ofcourse you two are so trustworthy.
Lorne: Actually, they were oth with me, working on some of the legal aspects for a new movie one of our clients is funding.
Fred: Okay, so maybe someone stole my earings and took on Eve's form.
.
Fred's explanation seemed plausible to Angel. He still didn't really trust Lindsay, but he kept a pretty close eye on him and Eve. Angel didn't want to admit it to himself, but he was now becoming deeply suspicious of Fred's real motives.
