Buffy and Angel walked through the garden as the moon shined above them and she looked at the flowers while he looked at her. The feelings they had for each other hung in the air like broken branches as he sighed and she looked at him. " So, you're married. ". " Yeah. ". " He seems nice. ", Angel said as she looked at him and was slightly stunned that he didn't recognize Spike as all. " Yeah. He is. ". " What's his name? ". " James. ". " Where did you guys meet? ". " Here in London. ". " Oh. So, how old is the baby? ". " Three months. ". " You got your figure back quick. ". " Thanks. I worked out for hours. Never thought I'd see my feet again. ", she said with a smile and he nodded. " Well, I think I'll go back inside. ". Buffy nodded as he walked back inside and she sighed. Angel walked to the door when Faith walked closer and he looked at her. " Going somewhere, Handsome? ". " Yeah, want to come? ", he said as Faith smiled and they headed for the door. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike looked at Daimon as Daimon floated off the floor and held his hands out to his sides. He smiled down at Spike as he floated almost to the ceiling and Spike smiled back. " Your turn, Champ. ", Daimon said as Spike closed his eyes and tried to remember what he told him. He breathed in and out slowly as his mind cleared and he pictured himself as a soft cloud floating in the air. He sighed when he felt something and held his hands to his sides. Suddenly he felt something hit him and he opened his eyes. His head had hit the ceiling and he landed hard on the floor. Daimon smiled when he landed in front of him and Spike rubbed his head. " You forgot to open your eyes. ". " Yeah. ". Buffy walked inside the room when Daimon looked at her then at Spike and smiled tilting his head to one side. " Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell, that's all for one night. ", Daimon said as he left the room and Buffy walked closer. Spike got up when he noticed she had their son, who was asleep in her arms, and he looked around the room. The crib was still in one piece as he picked the crib up and they walked to the room across the hall. He placed the crib down when she placed the baby inside then they walked to the bed. They crawled under the covers as he held her and she laid her head on his chest. He breathed in her ear when he touched her hair and she looked at him. " What did he want? ", she asked when he sighed then explained and felt the tears on his chest. She sniffed as he looked at her and brushed the hair from her eyes. " He said that I don't have to use it. Only if I need to. ". " But it's not fair. ". " I know. ". Buffy held him as he started humming a song and she closed her eyes. He stroked her hair as he hummed and she drifted off to sleep and he sighed. Spike looked at the shadows as he thought about what their " friends " had said and did and knew that, somewhere, there was someone out to get him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The car moved down the street as Angel looked at the road and Faith sat next to him. She looked out the window when she looked at Angel and gently touched his hand. " Hurts, hunh? ". " Yeah. ". " You know we were surprised when she married him. Seeing that he was sick and all. ". " He's sick? ". " Yeah. He suffers from seizures. Real bad ones. Last time, blood came out of his ears and we thought he was dead.(Faith didn't want to say " again " and she sighed.) B was totally freaked. "., Faith said as Angel sighed and looked at the road, " So, where are we going? ". Angel didn't say anything when the car moved down the road then stopped at a building. It was a four stories tall, brick building and they got out of the car. Angel led the way when they walked to the door and he knocked. A panel on the door slid back as a pair of red eyes looked at him and snorted. " You! What do you want?! ", the gruff voice behind the door asked and Angel went against the door. " Just want to come in. ", Angel said as the snorting sound grew louder and the door opened. Angel stood up when he looked at the large demon in front of them and he smiled. The demon, with green scales, red eyes, and large muscles, stood back as they walked inside. The room was semi dark, with loud music playing over screeching speakers, and smoke hung in the air. The smell of something vile filled the air as well as they walked along and Angel looked around the room. " Who are you looking for? ", Faith asked as he looked around and found a table in the corner. They sat down when Angel placed his lap top computer he had brought with him on the table and opened it. He turned it on when he noticed that he had email and sighed. " We're looking for a snitch. I'll know him when I see him. ". " Looks like you got mail. ", Faith said when he opened the email from Fred and she had sent him the information that Devon gave her. He read the information when he noticed that Faith had gone to look around and he closed the lap top. He got up, picking the lap top up, when he noticed her talking to a tall, human looking figure, wearing a bright white suit that looked like it came from the seventies, by the bar and he walked closer. Faith talked with the figure as he smiled and ran a hand along her leg. Faith looked down when Angel stood behind the figure and growled. Before the figure could move, Angel slammed the figure's head to the bar and the others looked at him. " Hello Darnak. ". " A-an-angel! Hi! What can I do for you!? ". " I need information! Have you seen this girl!? ", Angel said when he shoved the picture of Banbi into Darnak's face and he looked at it. " Ni-nice girl. Friend of yours!? ". " She's missing! Have you seen her!? ", Angel said as he banged Darnak's head onto the bar again and green blood rolled out of his nose. " No-not that I know of. I've been busy. ", Darnak said as Angel let him go and he sat up. Angel took Faith's hand as they left and headed for the car. They got in the car as the car moved down the street and Faith looked at Angel. He was mad as she sat there but neither of them said a word. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The sun was nearly up by the time Angel and Faith got back to the house and the door opened. Faith stretched when she walked up the stairs and noticed Daimon sitting on the stairs. He wore only his tight jeans and black leather fingerless gloves as she smiled and ran her fingers along his back and he shivered. He smiled at her when she went walked passed him then looked at Angel who was standing at the bottom of the stairs. " What? ". " All right, Devon, what are you doing here? ". " Devon!? I'm Daimon. ". " I'm not in the mood. What game are you playing at? ". " Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I get it! You work for Wolfram & Hart! ". " I run it. ". " You're THAT Angel!? Well, I guess you know my brother. I mean they don't called him " The Gemini " for nothing. ". " You're twins. ". " Bright vampire! Want a cookie!? ". " What the fuck are you doing here?! ". " I told you. I'm here on business. How about you? You still trying to make points with that ex of yours!? ". Angel growled as he walked closer and stood over Daimon. Daimon got up when they locked eyes and Angel backed up a bit. " Scared you, didn't I!? ", Daimon said when he walked down the stairs and headed for the kitchen and Angel watched him. He sighed when he went up the stairs and the sunlight inched into the hallway. |
