Buffy looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She had picked out a short white halter dress that showed off every curve. She had curled her hair. Cordelia wore something similar a short black skirt and a purple halter top. Buffy smiled as she turned and put on her white stilettos' Cordelia was just opening up the window. "Alright. Let's do this." Cordelia quipped. Buffy smiled. "Let s do with the doing." Cordelia slipped out the window and carefully made it to the ground, thanks to the garden fence up the wall. Buffy followed and silently came to the ground. "You know Angel will be so pissed if he finds out." Cordelia noted to Buffy. "Well he won't and he if he does he'll get over it." Buffy said as they tiptoed to the end of the driveway. They finally made it to the road and a car was waiting for them. It was Riley and Xander. Buffy and Cordelia jumped into the backseat and Riley drove off.
Angel was downstairs pacing wondering what he's going to do now. He was in a situation he really didn't want to be in. Everything was going as planned they we're going to take Thomas in and charge him on every charge he could think of, but now he had Buffy to worry about it. She was beautiful and had a innocent heart. More than anything he wanted her out of this situation. He had no idea how he was going to handle this. Angel made his way up to her room to see how they were doing he heard them laughing and talking bit for the past thirty minutes' it had been silent. When Angel came to her door and gently knocked. "Buffy…" there was no answer. He turned the knob and walked in. The girls were no where in sight. He saw clothes scatted all about the room, make-up on the bed, along with an iron and the window was opened. Angel walked over to the window and stuck is head out he saw how easily you could get down. "Damn-it!" he yelled to himself.
Buffy, Cordelia, Riley and Xander found themselves laying around on a big round couch in the upscale club XTC. Buffy was drinking her fifth bay breeze as Riley stroked her leg. Buffy looked around her surroundings', and guilt came over her. She knew Angel would worry about her and eventually find her which took the fun out of the whole night. Buffy sighed as she scooted off the couch. "And where are you going?" Riley asked in a harsh tone. Buffy turned to him, annoyed. "To the bathroom.! Do you mind?" Riley shook his head and took a sip of his vodka. As Buffy made her way back to the bathroom she didn't notice the eyes that were following her. When Buffy opened the door to the bathroom she was relieved when no one else was in there. Buffy let out a sigh when she flipped out her phone and saw twenty missed calls from a number she didn't recognize. 'Angel' she thought, deciding it would be best to call him she was about to press send when she looked up in the mirror and saw a man she never saw before in the reflection behind her.
Buffy turned and was about to scream when his hand went over her mouth and he slammed her up against the wall. "Shhh." he whispered into her ear. To feel his breath on her made her shake. Buffy tried to struggle in his grasp but her was too strong. The man looked Buffy up down. "Now. I may have fun with you before I get rid of you." Buffy finally broke free and kneed him, but it didn't have hardly and affect on him. He slammed her back and punched her across the face. Buffy let out a cry as tears started to come out. The man brought out a gun and pointed to Buffy, when she that she started to struggle. "Please. Please." The man smiled. "This has nothing to do with you. It's your father. You just happen to be the key." Buffy closed her eyes and whispered. "He will kill you." The man laughed. "Who? Your father? I doubt it." Buffy shook her head. The man then didn't have time to respond when a hand came down and twisted his arm away from Buffy. "Can't say she didn't warn you." Angel said as the man dropped to the floor in pain.
The man got up and turned to Angel. "You're letting me go?" Angel smiled. "I'm letting you up. It's funny how you would get those two confused." Buffy stood there and looked at Angel with desperate eyes. "If you're lucky you'll last ten minutes. Really lucky you'll unconscious for the last five." The guy nodded. "Is that right?" Angel nodded and smiled. Then looked at Buffy "And you? You. I could kill you. I could." Buffy nodded. "Angel I--" Angel shook his head, then looked at the man. "Women." Buffy put her head down. The man then pointed the gun at Buffy. "Enough chat then." The man didn't even have time to cock the gun, when Angel pulled out the silencer gun he had and shot him in the head killing him. Buffy put her hand over her mouth. She couldn't believe what she just saw. Angel went over and grabbed Buffy gently. "Let's go." Angel led Buffy out of the bathroom and out the back door to his car.
