A/N: Before you start moaning about the lyrics I promise you that they do play a part in the story. I don't mean the lyrics but the actual song itself (You'll understand in later chapters).

"I can't believe we are FINALLY getting away from Wolfram and Hart! It was a great idea of yours Angel, Nothing but relaxing for a whole month!" Fred babbled excitedly in the back of the viper.

"Yeah Peaches, I can't believe we are actually going to London. I've wanted to go back there for decades but have never found the time, Thank you!" Spike said, pecking Angel on the cheek while fiddling with the radio.

"I'll have to agree, nothing like getting back to England. I would kill just to have a proper cup of tea" Wesley spoke excitedly, playing a miniature game of chess with Fred.

"Hey there's a first time for everything, I am quite looking forward to this myself. The way English keeps going on about the place makes me wonder what all the fuss is about" Gunn cut in, grinning at the outraged look Wesley gave him at making London sound so ordinary.

"I'll have you know Mr. Charles Gunn that London is one of the only historical places left in this world. In fact the most outrageously, horrible vampire movies are created there and I'd appreciate it if you thought of London with a bit more enthusiasm" Wesley said, frowning at Gunn as he rolled his eyes.

"Oh! I love this song," Spike yelled, breaking the argument, "It was in one of those vampire movies, also set in London, I can't find the bloody song anywhere and it only plays on the radio" Spike finished as a drum beat and violins sounded.

"I'm over it,
You see I'm falling in the black abyss,
Clouded by memories of the past,
At last, I see"

"I hear it fading, I can't speak It,
Unless you will dig my grave.
We fear them finding, Always winding,
Take my hand now,
Be alive…"

"Somehow, I don't think so" Angel spoke; wincing at the heavy rock beat that filled the car.

"Angel…Angel…"

Suddenly all Angel could hear was beeping and banging and his vision became blurry and he felt a floating sensation go through him until…

…………………………………………………

"Angel! Open up, I've got to check on Spike and the construction men want to fix the windows in your suite. They've already started in your office. Angel!"

…he woke up. When Angel came to his senses he realized that the banging and beeping were indeed the construction workers downstairs in his office. He got out of his bed, careful not to disturb Spike, and looked down, out of his broken window. The cranes were lifting up the glass and the men were steadying the window replacement.

"Angel! I'm not asking you again!" Fred's annoyed voice broke through his musings as he remembered that he had security locked the elevator.

"I'm coming, I'm coming" Angel mumbled as he headed over to the elevator where Fred's voice could be heard echoing up through it.

"About time! I've been waiting for ages. The builders want to come up after I'm done looking over Spike or whenever he wakes up" Fred said, walking towards Spike.

"There is so much bloody racket down there that I've been awake for about an hour!" Spike complained as he sat up in bed glowering at the smashed window.

"Couldn't you bloody pillocks wait until noon!" Spike shouted, growling as the noise increased.

"Sorry Spike, they were going to start at 8am but once it got to 10.30am I thought that the sooner they get the windows fixed, the sooner they leave" Fred said apologetically

"Too bloody right. So Princess what can I do ya for?" Spike said, flopping back against the bed. Fred giggled at Spike's pet name for her before she set herself down on the edge of the bed.

"Just a little routine check over for you then I'll be gone. I would have liked for you to get as much rest today as possible, but because of all that 'Bloody racket down there' I don't think you'll be able to" Fred said, crinkling her nose in frustration.

"I'm fine, really. So where do you want to start luv?" Spike winked at Fred playfully.

"Well…I did want to ask you a question. When you were under that spell what exactly happened? Because I don't think that Kaden would hypnotise you only to leave you without any side effects" Fred asked quietly.

Spike sighed, "It was pretty powerful. I don't know luv to be honest. All I know is that the only guy that could do proper hypnotism was Dracula but what I know about hypnotism is that it either has to be connected in your mind like Dru's insanity; the hypnotism destroyed a part of her mind. Kaden seemed sane enough so maybe he needs to find a sort of…anchor to keep the spell going for a long-term effect. Just like Dracula, the hypnotism wears off after a while. He could probably want the hypnotism for a whole different matter all together, I really don't know" Spike replied regretfully, sending the room into an uncomfortable silence.

"I'm going downstairs to get us some blood Spike. You need anything Fred?" Angel asked, trying not to break the tension in the room and trying to quell the protective instinct in him. He didn't want to appear overly possessive of Spike since he knew Spike hated being coddled over like a child.

"A can of cola would be nice thanks" Fred replied smiling as Angel nodded and pressed for the elevator.

As soon as the doors opened a hysterical Jake came crashing into Angel, babbling incoherently.

"Miss Burkle, You've got to come…there were pieces!" Jake hurriedly gestured to the elevator as Fred and Spike came over from their perch, looking very confused, into the elevator.

"I guess while we are checking this out we could let the builders upstairs," Spike said leaning against Angel who nodded in agreement.

…………………………………………………

WOLFRAM AND HART, MEDICAL BAY, 11.30AM:

As the four came in through the elevator the sight of hysterical, pale faced, employees greeted them as well as several technicians, doctors and nurses.

"What happened?" Fred asked Gunn timidly, trying not to breath in the smell of nausea that circled the room.

"You know that earlier this morning…about 5am maybe…I came back with a group carrying tray loads of ice?" Fred nodded, "Well we handed them over to the technicians to check them out, ya know to see if there was anything mystical about them. So we went back there to see what they had found out. Apparently there was nothing mystical about the ice, it was just simply ice, but the mystical part was the guy found in the ice" Fred gasped, covering her mouth in shock.

"Oh my God, who was it? How did he fall to pieces?" Fred choked out, trying not to gag at the thought of a man in several pieces.

"It was Nigel! He got blown to pieces by a stray fucking bullet!" Jake screamed, sobbing for his friends who had fallen at the killers' mercy.

"So how's the research going about this guy 'Kaden'" Angel interrupted, wanting to find the guy as quick as possible before he could cause any more destruction or get his hands on Spike.

"Nothing yet I'm afraid. Whoever this man or demon is has been very secretive since he is practically unheard of. None of Wolfram and Hart's books know anything about him so we are basically at a loss of where to start looking for him" Wesley said ruefully, hanging his head in defeat.

"No. We will try our best to find out anything about him and if we don't then we will face him head on. We'll find out where he hides out and attack him. He's hurt too many people and wants to hurt and have more. He won't get away with this" Angel yelled determinedly, sending everyone in the room clapping and cheering. The mood was broken when Spike patted Angel on the back and said, "Of course we will Peaches"

WOLFRAM AND HART, MAIN ENTRANCE:

FLASHBACK:

"Don't try to cheat me Devon. I will be constantly in your mind, if you have a doubt of uncertainty, I will know. If you're planning on switching sides, I will know. Just do what I've told you to do and you get out of this alive. Do what I say, and I won't have to kill another one of your friends"

Devon shuddered at the memory and took a deep calming breath. This is it, no going back, he thought nervously as he stepped up to the doors of Wolfram and Hart. The glamour spell Kaden had put on him worked wonders. It made it seem that he was terribly injured to everyone around him.

"What are you waiting for? Get in there! The sooner you get this done, the sooner you go home to your loving family" Kaden mocked in his head.

Devon glowered angrily before shoving open the doors to Wolfram and Hart, watching as everyone in the entrance ran over to help him.

…………………………………………………

WOLFRAM AND HART, MEDICAL BAY, 12.06AM:

"I need some help!" A woman's voice shouted out urgently as she dragged in Devon.

"Devon! What happened?" Jake called out desperately as he pushed through the medics who were getting ready to treat him.

"I don't know! I got taken somewhere!" Devon wailed, clutching his side exaggeratingly.

"Any idea where?" Wesley asked eagerly.

"I think it was a club, I could feel music vibrations on my feet and sounds of a party. There was a man there, he seemed important. What was his name? Kavin? " Devon replied, coughing as a medic touched his chest.

"Kaden" Angel and Spike supplied.

"That's it! I heard him talking about plans on taking over the world, you know the –OUCH- usual. But then he kept saying that he wanted someone, I couldn't here the person's name, but the guy was hell bent on getting –Hiss- him. Would you be more careful!" Devon finally yelled at the medics who just gave him an exasperated glare in return.

"The club" Sean whispered from his bed.

"Rest Sean, we'll take care of this" Fred spoke tenderly.

"No, the guy said something about 'Pure Evil' right? Well that's a club a few blocks from here. It was called 'The Phoenix' but it went under new management about 2 months –cough- ago" Sean choked out, drinking thankfully at the water that a medic shoved under his nose.

"It's too obvious. It's got to be a trap, you know 'tell us where his location is just so he beats the crap out of ya' sorta thing" Spike said, sitting on the bed tiredly.

"Maybe Kaden thinks I'm dead. If that is the case then he wouldn't suspect being ambushed at his club would he?" Sean gasped out, while being insistently pushed back against the bed to get some rest by a worried medic.

Angel paced the room for a while, thinking the information over and looked over at Spike. If Kaden wanted Spike he would have to fight for him, Angel mused resolutely. Angel looked over at his employees thoughtfully. He could get some of them to circle the main dance area of the club, find out whatever they could from regular visitors while him and some others could head straight to Kaden to test out his weaknesses. Angel smiled,

"It's a plan"
