Buffy slept peacefully in Angels arms as the sun came through, her window. Angel stirred as he heard his phone vibrate, meaning to him that it was time to get up. Angel looked over at Buffy, and placed a kiss on her forehead. Angel quietly got up, hoping not to wake her. Angel slipped on his boxers and pants and put on his white long sleeve dress shirt. Angel then walked over and sat on the foot of the bed and started to put his shoes on. Angel did not even hear Buffy move when she came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his neck and started to plant kisses all over him.
"You can't go to work today." Angel smiled and stood up, taking her with him. Buffy wrapped in a sheet put her legs around his waist. Angel walked into the living room with her around him. "I have to. I'll only be gone for a few hours. I got a call that someone spotted Riley." Buffy gave a pout face. "So. you're not quitting?" Angel gave a laugh. "No…." Buffy playfully punched him. "Still…Riley can wait.." Angel started to kiss her when there was a knock on the door. Angel grunted as he walked over with her and answered it. Buffy covered herself as best she could still wrapped around Angel. Gunn stood at the front door, not looking pleased.
Angel smiled as Buffy brushed her hair out of her face. "Business or pleasure?" Gunn asked as he stepped inside. "Both." Angel responded as he gently put Buffy down. Buffy pointed down the hall. "I'm gonna go--yeah bye." Buffy then tiptoed down the hallway. Angel watched with nothing but love as she went.
"We have a problem." Gunn stated. Getting Angels attention. Angel turned. "Okay. What's up?" "You know that new case we've been after the exchange of 3 million dollars worth of cocaine for the rare blue diamond?" Angel nodded. "Well. There's been a huge break…and I'm afraid you're not going to like it…. It seems the buyer and seller has been right here in L.A . I found out that the diamond is worth 7.98 million" Angel whistled. "That's a big price difference with the 3 million dollars in cocaine." Gunn shook his head. "Not when your daddy is Thomas Kane." Angel was stunned. What was Gunn saying. Gunn handed Angel some photos that clearly showed Buffy with another man making an exchange of some kind. "Looks like your girl has been doing daddy's work the whole time he's been gone." Angel shook his head. "NO. This is a mistake. She wouldn't do this" Gunn walked over. "Well. She has the diamond. And the cocaine hasn't been picked up yet…I'm thinking whoever Miss. Kane did the exchange with knows it's a hot spot right now. And he wants his diamond back." Angel nodded. It made sense with Riley stalking her and God knows who else. And her place being a disaster. This was Buffy though. His Buffy. The woman who he was in love with.
Buffy emerged from the hallway she had changed into a pair of jeans and a black tube top that fit her perfectly. Gunn turned to Angel. "Either you take care of it or I will." Angel nodded. Knowing that it would be best if he took care of it. Gunn gave one last look at Buffy and left the apartment. Buffy rolled his eyes. "Geez. What's his problem?" Angel shook his head. "He doesn't like being lied to, and neither do I." Angel turned to Buffy. Angel walked over to Buffy and smiled. 'Guess What? I don't have to go to work today." Buffy smiled. "Really? That's great." Angel nodded gave a short laugh. "Yeah. My partner which is Gunn. But you knew that. Just solved the case for me."
Buffy smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Good…what was the case?" Buffy asked. Angel cradled her chin. "Funny you should ask…." Angel then turned and sat on the bar stool, leaving Buffy stand there in wonder. "You see…the FBI knows everything. I mean people may think they can get away with things but they can't. because they keep throwing all these crimes and exchanges to us and I knock em out the park." Angel did a gesture like he was holding a bat and hitting a ball.
Angel then jumped from the bar stool and stood in front of Buffy. "Speaking of exchanges. That's what it was. Apparently someone really wanted some cocaine so badly that they exchanged a 7.98 million dollar rare blue diamond ring for 3 million dollars worth a cocaine." Buffy took a step back, and she felt her heart stop. Angel put his hands to his head. "I mean can you just imagine what this diamond looks like?" Buffy nodded as she moved away from Angel. "Yeah…so what?" Buffy crossed her arms. "Now what I need is a confession and I need that diamond…because whoever has it. Is a target because get this….the people who exchanged the diamond haven't picked up the cocaine." Angel saw the look on Buffy's face. "Yeah..We know where that is too. Because you don't mess with the FBI baby." Buffy's eyes closed. It all made sense to her now. That's why her place was ransacked.
Angel walked over to Buffy. His heart went out to her but at the same time he was furious that she would do something like this, and not even tell him. Buffy looked up at Angel with tears forming in her eyes. "Buffy. I need that diamond…." Buffy let out a cry and covered her mouth. Buffy then went over into the kitchen and picked up the rug, she then got on her knees and pooped open the floor board and reached down and grabbed it. Angel went over and took it from her. "Damn-it Buffy!" Angel yelled. He was hoping it was all a lie that she had nothing to do with it. Buffy got up and tried to touch him but he wouldn't let her. "Angel, please! Let me explain!" Buffy begged, all the while knowing it wasn't going to do any good if the look on Angel's face was unforgettable he looked hurt and pissed off. "I had to….Riley wanted the diamond it was the only way…If I didn't he was going to kill you in front of me then kill me I couldn't okay? I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do." Angel laughed. "Well. You have a great connection with the police. You should of came to me." Buffy shook her head. "No. I had specific instructions…" Angel shook his head. ""You know what? Save it!" he all but screamed at her "Everything that I ever thought about you is gone." Buffy pleaded with him. "I'm sorry! Please, Angel-"
Angel shook his head. "I have to go clean up your mess, and that's it. you could of died, or you know what gotten people killed. I can't even look at you…" Before she could stop him, say anything to try to make up for what she had done, Angel had walked out the door, slamming it with a loud smack behind him. A few tears ran down her cheeks as she stared at the closed door.
