Part Seven
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel sat on the edge of the couch watching Willow in the easy chair where she was typing away on her laptop. As soon as they had returned, Whistler had put both Angel and Xander to work reading some old texts that Nathaniel had given them. Whistler made a coughing sound and Angel looked at him.
"The book Angel. You're supposed to be reading the book. Not wondering if 'net girl over here is going to say anything about Buffy or not."
Willow looked up suddenly, her face flushed.
"Do you want to know how Buffy is?" Willow asked. "Cause I know. Being her best friend and all."
Angel saw a deep pleasure in her eyes as she said that. To his slight surprise, he felt his own wash of pleasure at the thought that Buffy had such a good friend. And he had always liked Willow. She shined with her own light. Even if she couldn't always see it.
"Look at him Willow," Whistler said.
"Course he wants to know how his girlfriend is."
"She isn't my…"
"Yeah yeah, save it for the judge. Willow?"
"She…she's okay. I mean, as okay as the Slayer can be. You know, what with the death and evil and stuff. And…and…she's the one that sent us here. To help."
"Yeah, and Will?" Xander said. "I believe her exact words were 'You're gonna go help Angel, but don't you dare tell him I sent you.' Or maybe I was just hearing things."
Willow looked back at her laptop, embarrassed. Angel didn't say anything.
"Okay," Whistler said. "Now that we got the air cleared. We do have the air cleared?"
Willow nodded mutely. Angel just looked at Whistler.
"Yup, all cleared Mr. Demon sir." Xander quipped.
"Good. Now, we got trouble in River City with a capitol "D." I got the feeling that this Dramoco isn't a light weight demon. What'cha find over there Will?"
"Well, I mean, not much to add to what Nathaniel said. The big thing is that we have to find his power base. He has to have a way to drain his victims. But more than that, he has to have an easy supply of victims. I mean, I'm sure he and his henchmen evil dudes wouldn't want to be caught this close to the full moon. They have to be taking easy and forgettable people."
"The question is who's easy?" Xander said. "Well, besides Cordy, and she's not here."
"Runaways." Angel said simply. "They're taking runaways."
"Well yeah, that was my second guess."
