The sun shined through the window, as morning came. Angel stirred as he woke and saw Buffy sleeping so peacefully. Angel smiled as he stroke her cheek. She was beautiful. He thought. Angel was scared of losing her, she would find out soon that he is an FBI agent, and all this was about taking her father away. He would hope that she would know, that he did love her and didn't regret anything that had happened.
Angel was brought out of his trance when he heard his phone vibrate. Angel cussed under her breath as he answered. "Yeah?" he whispered. He knew the voice on the other end. It was the captain. "Get down, to the station and get suited up, we're taking him down." Angel nodded. "Yeah. I'll be there." Angel hung up the phone. Thomas would be here in the next couple of hours. Angel turned to Buffy and kissed her forehead, then her shoulders. He stroked her cheek, she stirred but didn't wake. Angel wanted to wake her but couldn't bring himself to do it. The next time he would see her would be him arresting her father, and the next time she would see him would be in an interrogation room. Angel gave one last look at the woman he loved, got dressed and left the room quietly.
Buffy woke from her deep slumber and moved her hand next to her to touch Angel, but he wasn't there. Buffy slowly got up and wrapped the sheet around her, she looked around but saw no trace of him. "Angel" she called out. There was nothing. Buffy got up with the sheet around her and went to the window. She saw Angels car was gone, she couldn't understand why Angel would just leave and not say anything, was it something she did? Something she didn't do? Maybe her father called him and needed something, she thought. Buffy shook her head. She then saw a car pull up. It was her father. Buffy smiled with excitement as she rushed to her bathroom to get ready.
Buffy hurried
down the stairs, her hair curled. Buffy put on a racer back tank
dress with crochet skirt. Buffy found her father in the living room.
"Hi. Daddy." Buffy quipped as her father embraced her with a hug.
"Buffy. Hello. Its so good to see you." Buffy looked up. "How
was your trip? Is everything okay now?" Thomas shook her head.
"That's something, you shouldn't worry about." Buffy nodded.
She was scared of what was happening but made sure her dad didn't
know. Thomas led Buffy to the couch and sat down. "So. How was
Angel, was he good to you?" Buffy nodded and smiled. 'oh yeah'
Buffy thought. "He took care of me…which I need to talk to you
about that." Thomas held onto Buffy's hand. "Sure sweetie you
can tell me anything." Buffy laughed and smiled. "Okay here we
go…Daddy..." Buffy began. "Don't get mad." Her
soothing tone calmed her father a little. "Angel and I--" Buffy
didn't get to finish. The door was kicked in and made a really loud
noise. Buffy jumped and stood up, she had no idea what was going on.
Buffy saw at least ten men swarm in, all dressed in black, with
bullet proof vests, that said FBI. They all had masks on and held
guns. Three of them went into the living room and surrounded Buffy
and her father. Buffy was shaking. Thomas stood up. "Buffy. It's
okay." Angel pointed a gun at Thomas, he had advised the other men
not to touch or put a gun towards Buffy. She looked so scared he
wished he could hold her in his arms. She was innocent in all of
this. He was thankful she didn't notice anything. Angel then
brought Thomas to the ground and his arms behind his back, Buffy went
over to them. "Daddy--" Buffy yelled she went to try and yank
Angel off of him, but was stopped. The other two gently grabbed Buffy
and held her away. Angel brought Thomas to his feet. Buffy faced her
father. "I am so sorry baby." Thomas said as Angel took him away.
Buffy stood there with tears streaming down her face. The other
agents were tearing the place apart looking for something. Buffy then
figured out what they were looking for. The were looking for her
fathers safety deposit key. The key that held his whole life. Buffy
hurried upstairs and into her room, relieved that hadn't made to
her room, she went over to her unicorn jewelry box, and slid out the
key underneath all the jewelry. Buffy held onto the key as she placed
it in her little pocket of her dress. Buffy then turned when the door
opened. Two FBI agents came in, Buffy sat on her bed and looked up
at them. "What?" Buffy asked. Buffy wanted Angel to be with her
so badly right now. He would help her through this, she felt alone
and helpless. Knowing Angel couldn't say anything, the other agent
spoke up. "Buffy. You need to come with us" Buffy shook her head.
"Am I going to jail?" Angel exhaled. He couldn't take this.
"No. You're not." The agent said as he brought Buffy up, and
took her away with Angel to the FBI station.
