Hamilton dares to intrude. From thepowerplayers

"Right, blue, want to stay here with Drogan?"

I told the half breed that I wasn't concerned with what happenings went on within the confines of this building.

"Two of you can make yourselves comfortable. There's plenty of beer in the fridge, and you can also make yourselves comfortable watching television, or with the play station, playing a little crash bandicoot."

I did not see it fit to be playing human games or wasting time with fermented liquids.

"Come on, Leery. Percy's plan is a good one, and we need somebody strong here with Drogan, to protect him..."

Spike had finally said something that occured to me as practical. If anyone could protect my jailer from harm, then it would be me. He was not my jailer anymore, and though his protection mattered indifferently to me...though his plight was meaningless to me, the thought of crunching somebody because Wesley wished it done, made it worth waiting in this tiny room.

"Right, then. Keep him good and safe, blue. We'll be back before the two of you even finish the bloody game."

And with that, Spike, Gunn and Wesley made their way out of the office. I was not bothered by the uncomfortable silence, and playing children's games became what held us. I wished for more knowledge about what was going on with the others. Maybe it was this game...game that was making me long to know about the other things, or maybe it was Angel. Angel's deception did intrigue me, if it was truly so.

Then Drogan, my jailer, had the audacity to tell me that I did not belong of this world and I agreed. My time had long since past here. "I know that this is no longer my world and yet, I cannot leave. I do not know why, but something compels me to stay."

I shared a glance with Drogan. It was one of understanding and struck me as strange. I understood that we had an understanding. Then, a riotous noise occurred from just outside of the confines of these walls and the door came flying inward. It was Hamilton and my jailer and I got to our feet. I did not know why Hamilton was here, but I was ready to unleash medieval punishment upon him.

[Hamilton]
