Chapter 27:
Angel scooped Paige up in his arms, and whispered into her hair as he carried her upstairs, " Tis alright now darlin. Ye're safe."
Phoebe watched as they walked upstairs, and said, " You're right Cole it doesn't matter how he got the potion, or spell, what matters is that Paige is safe, and sound."
Piper, and Leo nodded in agreement."
Meanwhile as Angel laid Paige down on her bed, he made a silent vow, I swear I'll find who ordered this, an make em pay.
Then he rose, and was about to disappear through the window, when Paige mumbled, " Don't go."
Angel drawled as he shed his duster, and removed his boots, " Course darlin."
And with that he climbed into bed beside Paige, and held her as she went to sleep.
Several weeks later Lilah stared at the long scar that ran the length of her left arm, and then at the glass eye she was forced to wear, thanks to Angel. She was so caught up in her reflection, she didn't hear Linwood walk in. He said, " I've set up an appointment for you at the clinic."
Lilah jumped as she turned around, and asked, " What clinic?"
He replied, " It's to take care of your problem."
She nodded as he said, " Thank you. What time?"
He said, " Three O'clock."
She nodded graciously as she said, " Again thank you sir."
He nodded, and said as he left her office, " You're welcome, don't be late."
A few hours later Lilah was sitting on an exam table as a young Dr. walked in. He said, " Hello Miss Morgan, I see we're going to do an eye transplant is that right?"
She said, " I guess so, they didn't tell me."
The young Dr. grinned as he said, " They rarely do. Now let's have a look, you have blue eyes, we have those. Now if you'll just lay back here, and get comfortable."
Then a blonde nurse walked in wheeling a huge metal cart. The Dr. said as he placed a mask over her nose, and mouth, " Now count back from 100."
Lilah did as she was told, and soon she was out. Once she was asleep they removed her glass eye, and set a perfect match to her left eye in the empty socket, then a demonic shaman walked up, and mystically connected the nerves. Then she was moved to recovery.
A few days later she was back at work, and was typing away on her computer, when Lyndsay walked in, and sat on the corner of her desk. She growled, " What do you want Lyndsay?"
Lyndsay's lip curled up in slight disgust as he said, Well I guess we know who they picked."
Lilah glared daggers at him as she asked, " What are you talking about?"
Lyndsay stood up as he said, " Oh come on Lilah, don't play games with me, the shaman's alone cost over a million dollars. I guess congratulations are…"
He never got to finish what he was saying, because he was thrown into a wall as he heard Angel say, " Hey Lilah, love the new eye, guess I'll have ta cut it out too."
Should Angel torture Lyndsay, and Lilah, or should he just kill them
