Cordelia walks around the corner oblivious to the three awkward people.
"Alright, we have Gushers, Fruit Roll-Ups, and chocolate milk. Now we need regular milk, Lucky Charms a- Andrew, hi." she stops to blink. The young man waves sheepishly at her.
"H-hey." he says shyly. They all stand for a few more minutes.
"Well, I'm glad this isn't awkward." Amanda says. Faith rolls her eyes.

Angel sighs as his search again comes up empty. He's not getting any information on this mysterious woman but he feels as if he should.
"Maybe I'm completely wrong about this." he says to himself. He leans back in his chair, letting out an unneeded sigh.
"How's the search comin'?" Gunn asks walking into his office. Angel shakes his head at the young man.
"Nothing." he answers. "All of my resources turn up absolutely nothing about this woman." he says sounding frustrated. Gunn looks thoughtful.
"Maybe, instead of checking for her, you should look into somebody else." he offers. At Angel's confused look, he elaborates. "Well, maybe you should look into whoever you think she's connected to." he says. Angel nods, knowing Gunn probably has an idea of what's going on.
"So you think... I may turn up some leads that way?" he asks just to be sure. Gunn nods and tosses a book down on to Angel's desk as he gets up.
"You'll figure it out." Gunn says with a hopeful grin. Angel taps his chin as he gets back to work.

"So what are you doing here?" Cordelia asks Andrew. His face brightens as he turns to his basket.
"Oh! I'm just doing some shoppin' for the home. I've got a turkey and all the fixings for this wo-" Cordelia cuts him off.
"Uh," she pauses not knowing what to say to stop him. Andrew smiles to show he understands.
"I know, you don't really wanna know." he says. "I'm just preparing dinner for my first night in my new apartment." he says. Faith raises an interested eyebrow and reaches over to grab the box of fruit roll ups out of her cart but Cordelia swats her hand away.
"Really? Where ya crashin'?" she asks. Andrew reaches into his pocket and reads his address to them causing Faith to pause.
"Oh my goodness! You're our neighbor!" Amanda says excitedly. "We literally live right over you." she practically squeals. Faith can't help but idly think that she seems to be channeling Dawn at that moment. Andrew seems to grow excited as well and Faith suddenly feels like she isn't what to do in the moment.
"Maybe I could cook for us all tonight!" he suggests happily. Amanda immediately agrees and turns to Faith for confirmation. Nodding because she doesn't see a reason not too, Faith agrees as well. Andrew and Amanda seem to go off in their own little world of talking about whatever as Faith and Cordelia remain standing at the end of the aisle.
"I have no idea what just happened." Faith whispers. Cordelia scoffs.
"Amanda just agreed for us to have dinner with Andrew." she says. Faith blinks at her and looks confused.
"I still have no idea what just happened." she says. Cordelia almost looked sympathetic.
"You just agreed to put all the Gushers back." she says. Faith snorts.
"No way, C." Faith responds as she hops on the back of her cart and rolls down the aisle. Cordelia follows with a badly hidden smile.

Angel leans closer to his computer screen as records show up. His contact had followed through with speedy results as promised. He reads through them, his brow furrowing more and more as he just comes up with more questions.
"Whoever hid this did a damn good job." he whispers to himself. He glances out at the night sky and decides its time to take a break.
