Angel, Spike and Illyria return to the Hyperion after a particularly nasty battle with a monster-of-the-week type baddy. There is some casual conversation until that is halted by Angel noticing that they are not alone. At the top of the stairs stands Connor. He shows that this is not a friendly visit, rather he is there to kill his father.

Angel senses Connor on the top of the stairs
Angel: �Connor, What are you doing here?�
Connor just looks at him of half a second then charges at Angel full force
Connor and Angel start to fight
Angel: �What the..�
Angel can�t complete the statement because he is ducking from one of Connors punches
Connor: � You killed them, they�re dead because of you�
Spike sees what�s happing and decides to help in with the fight
Spike: �Whoa there Jr. I think you�ve got your wires crossed.�
Connor knocks Spike over the front desk.
Connor: �Stay out of this�
Connor faces Angel and with fast speed charges Angel again.
Angel with no choice move just before Connor reaches him however Connor knows his dad�s tricks and sees it coming right before it happen. Making a 180 turn around Connor slams a wooden stake right into Angel�s chest, square in the heart.
Angel looks at Connor knowing what is to come.
Angel: � I�m sorry�
Angel turns into a big pill of dust in the middle of the Hyperion.
Illyria who has been watching the whole thing fold out, walks over to Connor, who is still a little amazed that he really staked Angel, and hits Connor square across the face. Connor goes flying across the lobby just as Spike comes around.
Spike: �What happen?�
Spike sees Illyria standing in the middle of the lobby next to a pill of dust and Connor across the room
Spike:�Oh Crap this is not good.�
Spike goes over to Connor and picks him up and duck tapes him up to the middle seat thing (much like Lorne was in Spin the Bottle).
Spike: �I wonder what this was all about?�
Black out
End of Act 1
HYPERION, LOBBY
Black screen for a moment then we see things again but out of Connors POV (eyes opening effect type thingy here).
We see Spike straddle a chair that is in front of Connor and Illyria is standing next to him, either looking at Connor or counting oxygen molecules.
Spike: �Well looks whose finally awake, blue�
Illyria just cocks her head to a different angle.
Spike goes back to talking to Connor.
Spike: �You want to tell me what this was all about and why Angel is now that big pill of dust?�
Connor: �He deserved worse than death after what he did to me and my family.�
Spike: �Whoa wait a sec. I thought you and this family biz was taken care of. Plus if I�ve heard correctly you were suppose to have this great normal life now, away from us and the bad things Angel did as Angelus�
Connor: �I�m not talking about that. I could careless about that. That part of me is dead and long forgotten even though I remember it all.�
Spike: �Then what is all of this about your family?�
Connor: �He killed them.�
Connor nods over to the pill of dust.
Connor: �He was the one who brought my family into this world of demons and monsters. And now they�re dead because of him.�
Spike pulls out a cig and lends on the chair getting comfortable ready to hear this tale.
Illryia just walks around the chair thing Connor is duck tape to, either checking to see if the tape still holds or to watch Connor, as a hawk would prey.
Spike: �Ok start talking how did Angel kill you family this time, cause incase you haven�t notice we�ve been a little over worked with the battle from WolfRam and Hart.�
Connor fights with the duck tape for a few moments then notice Illyria watching him (Or so he thinks she�s watching him) and stops.
Connor: �I know about the fight from WolfRam and Hart I was there. I helped Angel fight this really strong guy with a dress-for-less outfit.�
Spike: �You help Angel fight Hamilton? Then you come here and kill Angel? Now I�ve got to hear this story.�
Connor: � It happen about two nights ago me and my family were driving home when this group of demons attack us. It wasn�t a fight it was a massacre. My entire family killed in a matter of seconds and I barely got out alive.�
Spike: �Awe man, Bloody hell. Did you happen to see what kind it was?�
Connor: �What does it matter what kind it was my family is dead and they wouldn�t be if Angel hadn�t brought them into the world you guys live in.�
Spike sits back a second and takes this in.
Illyria knocks Connor out again.
Spike: �You know any other time I would be happy as all get out to see Angel go poof but for some reason I�m not. Wonder what that means?... Well we need to look about to see if we can bring him back. Illyria any ideas running threw the Fred side of your brain? Illyria?�
Illyria is off in her own little world like always.
Illyria: �I have no thoughts on how to bring him back but perhaps under the shape of Fred I can access more memories."
Spike: �Whoa blue no need to do that.� But it is to late Illyria has already changed into the shape of Fred.
Illyria/Fred: �I have an idea but it�s next to impossible and twice as hard to do.�
Spike: �Well ok what is it and I�ll tell you what I think about it.�
Illyria/Fred: �We use the same method WolfRam and Hart used to bring Darla back. And of course I have no clue how to do it. I wasn�t here when it happen. I only know about it because Cordy told me about it.�
Spike: �Your great plan is to summon a demon who hates Angels unliving guts and would have a field day knowing Angel is dust? Your right it is next to impossible.�
Illyria/Fred: �From what I was told Vocah was not the one who brought Darla back. It was Lindsey.
Spike: �Lindsey was the one who brought Darla back!? Great, just great where are we to find the little ponce.
Illyria/Fred morphs back into Illyria.
Illyria: �You will not find him. Angel had him killed.�
Spike: �And how do you know this?�
Illyria: �It is a basic strategic move. Align oneself with an enemy along enough to use him to your advance then have him destroyed. It has been done many times in my day and even I myself have used it.�
Spike: �Bugger that.�
Illyria: �Perhaps you might try the sorceress you know.�
Spike: �Sorceress? I don�t know a sorceress�
Illyria: �The one that is here in the memories of Fred� Illyria lift her hand and blue arcs go across her fingertips.
Spike: �Memories of Fred?� No wait DON�T tell me I don�t want to know. Now back to this sorceress maybe a little more detail would help me figure out who you�re talking about.�
Illyria is about to speak when Spike and Illyria hear Connor waking up.
Fade out to black
End of act 2
HYPERION, LOBBY
Illyria cocks her toward Connor and Spike faces him.
Illyria is about to hit Connor again but Spike grabs her arm.
Spike: � Whoa blue that�s enough�
Spike faces Connor
Spike:� Now that you�ve got you ya- yas out and dusted your old man, do you feel proud?�
Connor fights with the duct tape and Illyria hits Connor again
Spike: � Will you stop hitting him? We need the boy conscience to talk. There must be something we can do.�
Illyria raises her hand and a blue arc goes across her fingertips.
Illyria: �Cage in basement.�
Spike looks at her strangely.
Illyria: �There is a cage in the basement of this place. It held Angelus.�
Spike: �Angelus?! When did they ever have Angelus? And better question how in the bloody hell did he get to live?�
Illyria: �You do not know? I cannot make it out. The memories are mixed together.�
Spike: �What are you talking about? Never mind, tell me later, just help me with the boy.�
DOWN STAIRS IN THE BASEMENT
Connor is lying on the floor inside the cage and Spike and Illyria are standing on the outside.
Spike: �Ok now that he�s taken care of, tell me what is this sorceress I�m supposed to know about.�
Illyria lifts her hand again and once more we see blue ach go across her fingertips.
Illyria: �The sorceress that has been here before. She has brought one back from the dead before.�
Spike: �Back from the dead?� Buffy?� WILLOW!!! You�re talking about Willow, there.�
Illyria: �That name is in the memories of Fred. She is a sorceress, yes?�
Spike: �No Willow�s no sorceress. She�s a witch very powerful one at that. But there are a couple problems with that plan. Not that it was a bad one, blue, it�s just the guys Willow hangs with, well, they tend to think I�m dead and buried under the Hellmouth.�
Illyria: �The Hellmouth?�
Spike: �Yeah. You know of it?�
Illyria: �I used to play there when I was young.�
Spike pulls out a cig and lights it.
Spike: �Go fig. But I do have a really bad idea along those lines. Why don�t you place the call? I�ll tell you what to tell the watcher council and Giles so we can get their help.�
Illyria cocks her head again.
Illyria: �The watchers council? When I was young the council was nothing more than a few men. Does this mean that if the council still exist so does a slayer?�
Spike: �Yeah and last thing I heard she living nicely with the Immortal.�
Illyria: �The Immortal? Last time I saw him he was crawling on all four like a child.�
Spike: �Is there anyone you haven�t meet?�
Illyria is about to hit Spike. Spike backs away with hands in the air.
Spike: �I was just messing blue, no need to get violent.�
Illyria backs off.
Spike: �I�ll go find the number.�
Spike heads up the stairs and is about half way up them when he turns around and looks at Connor. �Still don�t know why he stake Angel. Damn I hope this works. Cause if not we�re royally screwed.�
Spike heads up the rest of the stairs and leave Illyria with Connor.
Connor starts to wake up and notices he�s in a cage.
Connor: �Damn what am I doing in here?�
Illyria: �The half-breed put you in there.�
Connor: �Why I have no problems with Spike.�
Illyria: �He does not trust you when we try to bring Angel back.�
Connor: �What do you mean back?�
Illyria: �There is a way to undo what you have done�
Connor hears this and slides down to the floor.
Connor: �Wow, I really did stake him? I just thought I was going to fight him, I didn�t mean to dust him.�
Illyria heads to the stairs.
Connor: �Where are you going?�
Illyria: �I am finish speaking with you. You will stay here.�
Illyria goes up the stairs.
PANS TO CONNOR
Connor: �Damn I really did it.� Connor looks around the cage and recalls the last time he saw it and shutters.
UPSTAIRS LOBBY
Spike is bend over the front deck and Illyria is behind him.
Illyria: �The boy is in his cell�
Spike: �Blue! You startled me.� Spike stands up and wipes a tear from his face � Damn dust. I�ve found the number.�
Illyria morphs into Fred. Spike just stares at her for a few moments.
Illyria/Fred: �Shall I make the call?�
Spike: �Yeah, here. You do know how to work a telephone?�
Illyria/Fred looks at Spike strangely.
Spike: �Just thought I�d ask.�
Spike walks out toward the middle of the lobby, where the dust pile of what used to be Angel still is.
Spike: �Well I guess someone needs to clean this up.�
Spike grabs a vase and a broom. Spike begins to sweep up the dust.
At a whisper to himself Spike: �Sorry man.� Tear wells up in Spike's eye.
Illyria/Fred is on the phone with Giles.
Illyria/Fred: �Yes, Giles. Fred, Winifred, listen I need Willows number like now. No, you didn�t hear? We left them, yes left. Yes I am here, thank you.�
Illyria/Fred: �I will call Willow, yes?�
Spike stands up with vase and broom in hand.
Spike: �Yeah go on ahead.�
Illyria/Fred: �Willow, Fred, Winifred, how are you? No, we left there; we�re back at the Hyperion. We kinda need your help, no it�s not Angelus but you need to come here now, please. We had a little mishap and we need you magic skills. Tomorrow, great see you then, what well that�s that he need you help. I see no reason why not. See yall tomorrow.�
Spike places the vase on the front counter and listens to the phone call.
Illyria/Fred hangs up the phone and morphs back into Illyria.
Illyria: �They will be here tomorrow�
Spike: �They? Whose they, blue?�
Illyria: �Willow and Buffy
Spike: " WHAT?!?!?!? Buffy�s coming here? Oh bloody hell.�
Fade out to black
End of Act3
NIGHTTIME DOWNSTAIRS ON CONNOR
Connor is trying to kick at the cage door.
Connor: �Come on, man! I�m not going to go anywhere! Let me out of here! I know you can here me Spike!�
SPIKE�S BEDROOM
Spike: �Bloody hell if he doesn�t shut up, I�m going to kill him, Angel�s son or not�
Spike throws a pillow over his head and turns to his side.
Few moments later Spike climbs out of bed.
DOWNSTAIRS FACING CONNOR.
Connor: �Finally, let me out of here�
Spike: �Dude, why in the bloody hell would I do that? You�ll try to run or worse stake my hide.�
Connor: �Why the hell would I do that? I could care less about you, and plus where would I go? Uh? My family�s dead and with Angel dust I have nothing.�
Spike: �Not true. You have your whole future ahead of you. If I let you out you swear you will find yourself a room and stay there. And maybe let me get some sleep? I don�t know where blue ran off to or even if she sleep, but I know I do and I need some.�
Connor: �Yeah I swear I wont run off now let out of this cage.�
Spike opens the cage and Connor hits him. Spike hits the floor.
Connor: �Wow, dad was right he isn�t the smartest one.�
Connor goes up the stairs in VAMPIRE face.
Illyria is at the top of the stairs looking at Connor
Connor morphs back into human face
Illyria: �You will not get pass me�
Connor: �Oh come on you know I can�t stay here�
Illyria: �I know what I saw, you are a half breed�
Connor: �Oh, that? Oh come on you know I�m the kid of two vampires. What? You think I wouldn�t have tapped into the demonic half? Please, I�ve been doing that ever since the night my folks were kill. I thought for a while that maybe I had been turned but then I got brave and stupid and went into the sunlight. And as you can tell I didn�t fry so I just guess it has something to do with my parents.�
Illyria: �You want me to believe those lies?�
Connor: � I don�t care if you believe them or not.� Looks over at Spike whose still on the floor �When he wakes tell him, I�m sorry�
Connor jumps down off the stairs and bolts to the sewer door.
Zoom to face Illyria.
Illyria: �I should wake him�
She walks to Spike.
Illyria kicks Spike side
Spike: � Bloody hell what hit me?�
Illyria: �Connor�
Spike: �That little pounce, he is so much like his old man, hitting me around and all.�
Illyria at whisper: �You have no idea�
Spike: �What you say, luv?�
Illyria: �Nothing for you. Connor will return in the morning, this I am cretin but right now you need to rest. It is after you Earth time midnight and the� Looking for the word � witch and slayer are to be hear this day.�
Spike: �Good idea�
INSIDE THE HYPERION, Next Day (Daytime)
Spike: �Illyria, when did Connor say he was coming back? It's getting to be near 5 o'clock in the afternoon.�
Illyria: �He didn�t�
As if right on cue enter Connor from the outside. Illyria looks at him, then outside and back at Connor and cocks her head at a strange angle.
Connor looks at Illyria.
Connor: �Told ya�
Spike faces Illyria.
Spike: �Told ya what, blue?�
Illyria�s still looking at Connor.
Illyria: �Nothing. When is the witch to be here?�
Again as if right on cue
Willow: �The witch is here� Pan to see Willow on the stairwell.
Willow notices Spike.
Willow: �Well there�s someone I never thought I�d see again. How are you?�
Spike wants to make a come back but second thinks it.
Spike: �I'm good. Is Buffy behind you?�
Willow: �No she said she had to go to Sunnydale first. She�ll be here tomorrow or later tonight�
Spike: �Why she�d have to go to that big old hole?�
Willow: �She went looking for your dumb butt, or what�s suppose to be left of you. But since your here I�ll call her to let her know�
Spike: �Whoa, there�s no need to do that she�ll find out soon enough�
Willow: �You sure, ok. Now that we got that straight you want to tell me what�s going on?�
Connor steps forward looking at the floor.
Connor: �I kinda made a mess around here.�
Willow looks at Connor.
Willow: �You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son.�
Connor looks up in shock and Spike looks at her as well.
Connor and Spike together: �You knew?!?!?!?!?�
Willow just grin as Illyria answers for her.
Illyria: �You don�t become that strong without a knowledge of memory spells. Am I not correct witch?�
Willow turns at faces Illyria and starts to stare.
Willow: "You�re right. I�m sorry,I don�t mean to stare but what happen to you , Fred?�
Spike: �That isn�t Fred that�s Illyria.�
Willow: �ILLYRIA?!?!?!?!?! An old one?�
Illyria: �You have heard of me, good. Maybe my kingdom is not completely gone.�
Willow: �Sorry I only read about you in some of the older text Giles has. When did this happen?�
Spike: �Not long before we left WolfRam and Hart.�
Willow: �I heard about that, is that why the System went all wonky? I had only felt that kind of power when we faced The First.�
Spike: �Yeah, that was it. Powerful little buggers. Still not sure how we live threw it. That dragon nearly killed all of us, we couldn�t move for a week afterward.�
Willow: �So speaking for which, where is yalls fearless leader, anyways?�
Spike and Connor points over to the counter and to a vase
Willow: �Oh you have got to be joking.� Looking at the rest of the guys �You�re not joking. I think we need to wait for Buffy. She needs to know about this. What happen?�
Connor: �I got angry and somehow manage to dust him.�
Willow just looks at Connor with complete shock and horror.
Willow: �Lets wait till tomorrow before we try anything. I�m wiped out from the trip and Buffy should really be here for this.�
Spike looks at the clock
Spike: �That�s a good idea.You can find yourself a room right?�
Willow: �Yeah� She grabs her stuff and heads up to a room.
Connor: �I�m going to head out myself�
Connor starts to leave and Illyria follows
Illryia: � I will follow him�
Spike: � Good idea, luv�
UPSTAIRS INSIDE WILLOW�S BEDROOM
In the room Willow has chosen. We hear her talking to someone real lightly.
Willow: �Yeah I told you, you weren�t going to find it. Come to find out he�s alive, yeah alive, I know, color me shock, no they�re not there anymore, yeah back at the Hyperion, No, no one can hear me.
