Angel adjusted his belt as he entered the interrogation room. A tinge of resentment and annoyance went through Angel as he looked at Buffy's beautiful. She pushed her hair behind her ear. Buffy looked up and saw Angel, she quickly got up and ran into his arms. He had changed into his black suit. Angel wrapped his arms around her, his mind was blank, he felt her shiver. "Angel.. I was so worried. You just disappeared on me." Angel pulled away and looked at her. "I'm sorry. I had to go take care of something." Buffy shook her head. "But you just left?" Angel nodded. "Buffy I--" Buffy held onto his hands. "Are you going to get me out of here?" Angel moved Buffy to the chair and sat her down and place both arms on each side of the chair surrounding her. "Buffy I need to ask you a few questions?" Buffy looked down and saw a gun at his hip along with his badge. Buffy put it all together. She looked up at him with rage in her eyes. "You son-of-a-bitch" Buffy stood up and pushed him out of the way. "Buffy. I'm sorry." Buffy turned to him. "You're what?"
Angel came closer to Buffy. "Your father is shipping drugs around the country in bodies. We found coffins of cash, tagged for Cuba." Buffy shook her head. "I can't listen to this." Angel crossed her arms. "I need his safety depots key, in there is the location of his next drop here in L.A, more people will die" Buffy looked up at him, tears started to form in her eyes. "So. Was what we did a bonus for you doing your job?" Angel shook his head. "No. and you know that. I love you, I would never lie to you about that. I hated lying to you." Buffy rolled her eyes. "Was there anybody who didn't know except for me? I feel so stupid." Angel nodded. "Well. Your father didn't know." Buffy glared at Angel. Buffy sat back down. Do you know that every day your father gets at least a half a dozen threats against you... every day, and when he left me in charge to take care of you, it multiplied, having met you, and then falling in love with you I couldn't live with myself, if anything happened to you Buffy…I just couldn't. What could I have done Buffy?" Buffy stood up. "You could have been honest with me. You had the choice not to lie to me." Angel came closer to Buffy and breathed her in. "I really hope someday you understand this, and why I had to do what I did." Buffy nodded and held back the tears as she reached into her pocket. "I do." Buffy placed the key on the table. "That is what is so disappointing to me." Buffy gave one last look and walked out of the room.
Buffy was about half way down the street walking as fast as she could. "Buffy!" It was Angel she didn't turn around. She didn't want to. Angel finally caught up with her. Angel stood in front of Buffy. "What do you want now?" Buffy asked. "I want you to know that I love you." Buffy rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Hey." Angel cradled her chin. "I do…I crossed the line and you can have me fired for that, I appreciate it." Buffy smiled. "I'm glad you still have your job, I have nothing!" Angel reached into his pocket, and pulled out his wallet. "Here." He tried to hand Buffy his credit card. "I'll take you to your house to get your things, then I'll put you up in a hotel." Buffy shook her head. "I'm not your damn charity case anymore." Buffy brushed past him and ran down the street and out of his life.
