In a couple of minutes Buffy and Dawn arrived at the Los Angeles airport.

"Dad's picking us up right?" asked Dawn as they got off the plane.

"Yup. That's what he said" replied Buffy.

"Do you know where he lives?" Dawn asked. "I mean he keeps moving everywhere and we never know where he stays anymore" said Dawn as they walked inside to the luggage area.

"No, I don't. But that's the reason why he called us to come over and said that he would pick us up, remember?" replied Buffy.

"Oh right"

They waited for their bags to come. There were too much people so Buffy and Dawn had a hard time looking for their bags. Buffy was getting her bags when some guy bumped into her and made her bags fall back down.

"Okay, rude much" she muttered as she picked up her bags again. She went over to Dawn and helped her with her stuff.

"Got everything?" asked Buffy.

"Umm" Dawn said as she checked everything again. "Yup, everything's complete"

By the time they got ready to leave, it was already 10:30 pm. They looked for their dad but he wasn't there.

"Are you sure you gave him the right time to pick us up?" asked Dawn.

"Yeah, I'm positive" replied Buffy. "I told him to pick us up at exactly 10:15. It's already been 15 minutes."

"You should go call him" Dawn said.

"Let's give him 10 minutes. If he's not here in 10, then I'll call him" said Buffy.

Dawn nodded. They decided to sit down while waiting for their dad. In a little while, 10 minutes came and Dawn looked at Buffy. She knew what that look meant.

"Yes, yes" she said. She dug into her bag for her phone. She dialed the number then waited for him to pick up.

"Come on, pick up, dad" she muttered.

"Hello?" said a voice which definitely was not her dad's. It was a woman's voice.

"Hello, may I please speak to Hank Summers? It's kind of urgent"

"Sorry lady. He isn't home right now besides, do you know what time it is? Sorry but you'll have to call again in the morning." She said then hung up right before Buffy was about to say something.

"Right. That was weird" said Buffy as she put her phone back in her bag.

"Why? What did he say?" Dawn asked.

"It wasn't he. It was a she" said Buffy. "A woman picked up the phone and said dad wasn't there and that I should just call him back in the morning"

"Oh, really?" Dawn asked. "I never knew he was involved with someone"

"Yeah, me too" Buffy agreed and sighed as she sat down on a bench. "Ok, so how are we going to find him without, you, know, searching the whole city?" she asked. "I guess we could ask the help of -"

"Angel!" Dawn cut in.

"Well, I was gonna say the police, but I guess that's okay" said Bffy.

"No, I mean he's behind you right now" said Dawn.

"Oh" Buffy said as she turned around to face him.

"Hey" greeted Angel who looked upset.

"Hey" Buffy greeted back. "What are you doing here?" she asked as she went over and hugged him. Something about this made Angel frown slightly. Usually during his visits, Buffy would kiss him. Now she just hugged him, not even a kiss on the cheek. He figured it was just because Dawn was there. Or also that Buffy didn't trust him anymore for taking over Wolfram and Hart.

Or maybe it's about Spike. A voice said in his head. But he just shook it off immediately.

Dawn went over and hugged him too. "Hey Dawn" he said.

"Hey" she greeted back. "How've you been?" she asked.

"I've been better" answered Angel.

"Wait, you still didn't answer my question. What are you doing here? You couldn't have known. I didn't tell you. Well, you could've tracked me down with that big law firm of yours, but you don't follow me around" she thought about that. "Wait, do you?"

"Uhh, no I didn't" Buffy raised her eyebrows at that and Angel thought of what he just said. "Don't. I mean"

"Then how did you know?" asked Dawn before Buffy could.

Angel just stood there looking down at the ground like what he was going to say next was hard for him. Which, it was.

"Angel?" asked Buffy asked slowly and seriously. "What's wrong?"

Angel sighed before her spoke. "We've been tracking down this demon about a few days ago. It can change its form to a human and it has mind control over its victims. It's source of food is the pleasure of killing its victims. That's basically what we know but it might have other attributes."

"Okay, but what does that have to do with us?" asked Buffy.

"I got a phone call earlier at about 10:30 from one of our team members. They found the demon right after it made it's kill. They were too late to save the victims. When they got there the demon jumped out of the window" he paused. "The victims were a man and a woman."

"W-who were they?" Buffy asked as she dreaded the answer. She figured it must be someone she knew since why would Angel come to her and tell her this unless she's connected?

Angel got a piece of paper from his pocket. "The man had this in his hand" he said as he handed the paper to Buffy and Dawn read over her sister's shoulder.

10:15 – Don't forget to pick up Buffy and Dawn and take them out to dinner afterwards

"Buffy, it was your father" Angel said quietly as Dawn sat down on a bench in shock and Buffy looked up, horror, confusion, and grief written on her face.
