Ok! Now back to Riley!

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Angel stirred in his cell and opened his eye to see a bright light.

"HST 26 is awake"

"Riley Finn!"

"Hello. Angel… or should I call you Angelus?"

The mention of the name brought back some memories. He had killed… Buffy.

"Oh, God! No! No! No! No! I killed her! I killed her!"

Angel walked around the cell without paying attention to anything around him except for his pain. He looked at his hands and vomited in the room. He sat in one corner of the cell banging his head against the wall before holding his head in his hands and screaming in agony.

"Yes. You lost your soul and killed her. The witch cursed you again. It will be good to see you suffer for all eternity"

Angel looked at Riley.

"You don't have an eternity… Whatever you did I will kill you!"

"Empty treats. You will be here… forever… which means as long as we want to test you"

New memories came back to him. Angelus in the basement talking to Buffy. He was confused.

"No… I.. … she is alive. He talked to her. It wasn't her. He talked to her. Why did you send that thing after me?"

"So you too share memories? Demon and Soul share everything. Interesting. Your question is simple. She left me to go after you. The stupid bitch thought I accepted it. Ha! Me… brushed off because of a vampire… a filthy vampire. You two won't be together! She won't lay her eyes on you again. It was easy… I took some of her soul to infuse in the robot so you would be tricked into believe it was her and then we waited for the best chance. Darla, huh? You were weak… and there she was… delicious for you to easy your pain. You didn't disappoint."

"Why?"

"Prof. Walsh wants to study the physiology of a vampire with a soul. I wanted to release your… twin… so he'd cause Buffy pain. Now… I just want you dead… and I know… Prof. Walsh likes to play… painfully… with her subjects. I'll just enjoy the show."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Bufffy. Calm down"

"Please, Willow. Found me something, anything"

"The bot must have some device so they could track her down. Maybe I can trace the signal to who is receiving it if there is one"

"Where would they go? I mean there are not many places far from everything, but near enough so they could catch some HSTs. Where would they go?"

Buffy started to walk again in Giles living room. The only place she knew that covered these requisites was the mansion on Crawford Street. It was big enough to handle their operation and sort of secluded, besides it having a good underground area… but they would not know about it…

"Buffy! Where are you going?"

"I have a hunch. Just do what you have to do. I'll be back."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Buffy kept hidden in the trees looking the movement inside Angel's mansion. They really were there. She was fuming. This was his place. Their place.

While walking towards the mansion, Buffy thought of what they were doing to her Angel. Would he remember he kind of killed her? Would he remember he didn't? She knew he would remember because he said that when he was cursed he soon remembered everything the demon did. Her heart hurt with the knowledge Angel would suffer thinking he had killed her.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Buffy, are you sure this is a good thing?"

"Yes. I am. I won't let Angel in that place. I'll tear it down and find him. He is there because of me! Giles. I can't… he suffered in Hell because of me… I would have gone in there by myself, but I thought it better to have a plan.

"Ah Ha!"

"What Willow?"

Willow looked excited with her achievement with the bot so to track The Initiative.

"It is really good… I mean with the magic and computer stuff…"

"Willow!"

"Sorry, babbling here. The bot has a signal and I can trace it. I am trying to break into The Initiative facility remotely."

"How much time?"

"Don't know, some minutes, maybe hours"

"We don't have…"

"I know, but Buffy they wouldn't capture Angel just because Riley was obsessed with you. They will try to study him… right Giles. I mean… he is a vampire with a soul? Who wouldn't? I would if I…"

Buffy looked funny at Willow.

"Not helping… when I get inside I can find the map of the place and find in which cell Angel is."

"Thanks Will."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Riley what are you doing just standing here?"

Professor Walsh saw Riley standing at Angel's cell looking at the apparently sleeping vampire.

"Nothing Professor. I am just looking at him. He will be interesting to study. I am curious to know what sort of thrall he has to keep Buffy with him."

"Riley. This is a military operation not some fairy tale. Miss Summers is a threat to us. Just shoot him with the darts so we will take him to the examination room."

"What are you planning?"

"He has a soul and I want to know if, when and what can make him loose control and free the demon. Maybe the research can help in the training of soldiers because some experiments may kill them so they are not eligible candidates for them… but a vampire is a whole different thing. He won't die sooner"

Riley opened the door just a little bit to shot Angel with tranquilizers. Angel dodged the first shot and grabbed Riley arm.

"Riley Finn… I will kill you, boy"

Riley laughed and tazered Angel, who fell to the cell floor.

"You and which army?"

"That would be me."
