Fred did as Rupert asked and stayed back even though she wanted to run over to Lorne and make sure he was all right. She could hear him moaning, the sound almost bubbling from his chest. Finally, they managed to restrain Dana, knocking her out with the tranq gun and she rushed over to Lorne
( ... )
Robin and Giles worked hard on getting Dana secured in the car. It was a bit crowded but they had no other choice really since they needed to get Lorne back to the firm and get Dana and Robin to the drop up point. When Fred's mobile rang, Giles knew they were going to drop Dana off first. There was no way he was going to allow his wife back into Wolfram and Hart without him beside her. He would never trust Angel, especially with someone he loved
( ... )
Fred was so worried about Lorne that she really wasn't paying much attention to Knox when they first entered the medical facilities at Wolfram and Hart. She instead was watching while Spike put Lorne on the gurney and the doctor wheeled him back into what appeared to be an operating room to prep him for surgery
( ... )
"I got it," Gunn said, trying to push Giles off of him. "Let go or I'll call security on you." Giles grabbed Gunn's mobile and smashed it against the wall. Gunn held up his hands, trying to show the other man that he would go if he let go. With a shove, Giles let Gunn go and watched him walk down the hallway.
When he heard the medical door open, Giles turned and looked at Fred for a moment. Some of his anger was toward her but she'd been through enough and getting nasty with her, like he'd done the day before, wasn't going to help. Instead, he took a deep breath and looked through the window of the medical room.
"You should've told me," he quietly said as he continued to stare through the window. "I'm not mad, at least not anymore but you can't keep things from me Fred. We're in this together. It's almost like this place is trying to tear us a part."
Giles finally looked over at her. "Come here, love," he said, holding his hand out for her. "How's Lorne?"
Fred swallowed when Rupert spoke, hearing the disappointment in his voice. "I know," she said softly. "It was...when he told me I could come here and work in the lab like they wanted me to originally, I immediately told him no. Taking him up on that never even crossed my mind, not even for a moment. I have everything I want in England with my job and friends and you. And then I just...I didn't want to think about it."
He was right. It almost was like this place was trying to tear them apart - like this place picked up on the good and tried to methodically dismantle it, bit by bit, until the person was either destroyed or had been taken totally in by the firm
( ... )
"Good," Giles breathed when Fred told him that Lorne was going to be all right. There wasn't much for them to do at the moment and Giles didn't like standing around in the firm due to his distrust of the place. Squeezing his wife's hand, he glanced over at her. "Lets get out of here for a bit. I promise to have you back soon
( ... )
Fred nodded in agreement as she held her husband's hand, glad to be out somewhere for the moment that wasn't inside or tied to something having to do with work. She knew that the night wasn't always safe, but right now it was nice, being able to take a breather, especially given the way the last few days have gone
( ... )
Giles stood back while his wife spoke to her friend. He kept his arms crossed, waiting for Lorne to hurt her like everyone else had already. He listened closely as Lorne told Fred that coming there had been a mistake. Giles' stance relaxed a bit and he nodded in agreement. "Did Angel force you to come here?" he asked before crossing his arms again
( ... )
Connor. She remembered Lorne mentioning that to her when they had come back from the first tour of the firm to tell her they were taking the offer. She always wondered if they should know who this Connor was, but she never could place the name. It had to have something to do with the firm itself, she was sure. She thought. Maybe she wasn't sure, but it was the only explanation she could come up with
( ... )
"Anything for you, love," Giles said returning her hug. Once of the doors open and a doctor stepped into the hallway. "Pardon me, but Lorne is coming back with us to London and we were curious as to when he could travel."
The doctor looked down at the chart in his hand and nodded. "He should be ready to go by tomorrow morning. He'll have to take it easy for a few days though and not use his hand. And after that, he'll have to do some physical therapy to get proper use back," the doctor explained. "Will he be leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes," Giles answered, making a mental note to book a another spot on the place for tomorrow. The doctor nodded again and said he would have Lorne ready by morning. Giles watched the doctor walk off before he turned and looked at his wife.
"Do you want to go back to the hotel for the rest of the night? We can get something to eat and some rest before coming back tomorrow to pick Lorne up," he quietly said before softly kissing her on the forehead.
Part of Fred didn't want to leave Lorne, almost afraid that if Gunn or Angel or the Senior Partners realized that he was wanting to leave that they might try to do something to him while they were gone. But the rational part of her knew that they weren't going to be much help to him for the time being. Going back to the hotel was probably the best thing they could do
( ... )
Giles was relieved when the plane touched down in London. It was good to be home. They went through customs fairly quickly due to Council contacts, and Giles retrieved their language before leading Fred and Lorne out to his car. He chuckled a little when Lorne made a comment about having to get used to driving on the other side of the road. "Fred had to get used to it also but she learned quite fast," he commented before starting the car
