"Hey sexy," a young guy approached Faith who was busy dancing sensually by herself. She smiled at him.

"Mind if I dance with you?" he asked, moving closer.

"Not at all", she nodded and put her arms around him.

They danced closely until the song was over.

"Do you want to take a walk outside?" She asked him. "Breathe some fresh air?"

"Cool", he shrugged and they walked out into the alley.

"You don't mind walking here in the dark with a total stranger?" he asked her.

Faith smiled. "What's your name?"

"Parker. Parker Abrams". He said.

"Hi, I'm Faith. See? We're not total strangers".

"You're cool. I like you. Are you a freshman?" he smiled.

"Dropped out", she shrugged.

"Really?"

"Yeah, from junior year in high school".

"Why?"

"I really don't want to talk about it", she said quietly.

"Okay," he put his arm around her.

She sniffled and he embraced her into his shoulder. "Shhh, it's ok, pretend I didn't ask". He tried to comfort her.

"Ok", she said raising her head, he leaned over to kiss her when he noticed her vamped face and flinched.

She roared and sank her teeth in his neck. He opened his eyes widely until his soul left his body and he fell down to the floor. Faith licked her lips, reverting to human face.

Angelus walked out of a darker corner, wearing a long black coat. "I see you had fun".

"That was fun, but not satisfying. I need more". She said.

"Any sign of my girl?" he asked.

Faith shrugged. "Probably humping the bones of that goofy boyfriend of hers".

Angelus smirked. "I should meet this boy. He could use some tips-"

Angelus didn't finish his words, Faith was electrified by something. Angelus snarled stepping back. He saw the 3 black figures standing behind the corpse Faith drained.

He wasted no time and lunged at them.

They tried to fire at him, but he kicked the guns out of their hands. He snapped the neck of one of them, kicking out the other, the guy was dazed and stepped backwards falling on his buttocks. Angelus knocked him out cold with a smack to his head.

The third one grabbed a hold of a tranquilizer arrow, sticking it in Angelus' neck. Angelus staggered backwards, until he dropped to his knees. The guy who managed to gain control spoke to an invisible being. "A-team. It's Forrest. Alpha code blue. We got 2 hostiles. 2 operatives are down".

Buffy walked in the woods. She was tired but she was determined on finding Angel before Riley does. There was no way she was gonna let Riley put his hands on Angel. Let alone this group. She wondered why she was so protective of Angel. After all, it wasn't even him. it was Angelus, her evil rival. A vampire who needed to be put down. And still, she didn't want him to be tortured. She was planing on sheer killing. She wondered if Willow was still trying to do the curse. She didn't want to face Angel in the last moment, just so she kills him again instead of Angelus. She thought about her dream. Faith in game face... what did all this mean?

"The tranquilizer will wear off soon. This one is a strong bastard. I think the strongest we ever faced", Angelus could dimly hear Forrest enthusiastic voice. "You should have seen it, the bastard killed Graham in an instant and knocked Riley out cold with one blow!"

"I wasn't ready!" Angelus heard a thicker voice protest.

"The girl was tagged", a third voice announced.

"So how do you know her?"

"I saw her once... old acquaintance of Buffy"... the thick voice sounded hesitant. "C'mon, let's get it done with this guy".

Angelus was dazed, but he could see the white wearing man approaches his with a syringe. With all the powers he could forge, he quickly launched at the medical man and snapped his neck.

"Code Red!" Forrest announced. Angelus kicked the two operatives away, managing to escape.

"Lock the entrance to room 4A!" Riley called out.

Angelus saw the iron gate starting to close and jumped spreading out, slipping underneath it to the other side.

Riley who was running after him clashed against the heavy gate. "Open the door!" He slammed it with his fist, frustrated.

Forrest huffed behind him. "Way to go, brainy. Couldn't you wait till we get out of the room?"

Angelus ran away, hitting whomever got in his way. He saw Faith in a cell, he thought for a slight second then lashed into the glass wall, breaking it to pieces. The alarm started beeping dissonantly.

"Hostile 42 has escaped", a mechanical feminine voice announced in the background.

"What is this place? The Pentagon?" Faith asked.

"I dunno, but I really don't feel like staying. Let's get out of here!"

Angelus urged her to go.

She kicked away an operative, knocking him onto another.

"Look, an exit!" She pointed out at a sign that lead to an emergency exit. They ran out, crushing the door and escaping into the fresh night air.

"Quick, let's find someone to kill and a place to hide", Angelus encouraged her to keep running.
