I can’t describe how I feel. I think it’s the most along the lines of numb. I’m sitting in an office and waiting. I have no idea on what really. I shouldn’t have even stayed here. But he said to fallow, so I did. This Angel. I have this weird feeling I know him. Like I would have met him before or something. Though, in the same time I’m pretty sure

"Wes, your needed in the lab. Fred needs help with something." Giving me a strange look the former watcher departed.

"Connor...Reilly. What can we do for you?" I'd stared at him while he took in the view. Quickly finding some papers on my desk I focused on them. I'd known he'd come, but did it have to be so soon? How the hell was I supposed to get Buffy to agree with anything now? Damn Spike.

"Um... well, few days ago... my parents were kidnapped and the cop said I might find better help here than from police." How exactly do I explain this? Well, yeah I suppose he does know they have lot of weird things here, he is CEO. Why am I talking with CEO? Couldn't they like let me talk with someone not so important? He makes me nervous for some reason...

"My parents... they were kidnaped by... demons." Demons? Do I even believe that things like demons exist? I know they does, but that still can't seem to believe it. Did that even make sense? "The cop said this firm deals with weird things like that, so..."

"Sorry to hear that."

I knew this. Had gotten the report minutes after it all went down.

"Things are a little...hectic here. How about you leave me your number and someone will get back to you."

Why couldn't he have just run off when Harmony attacked him? "Demons don't exist." I added, almost an afterthought.

"So you run a circus? Because people around here sure did look... freaky." I have no idea why I said that, but somehow I just felt the need to... well, tell he's wrong basically.

"Here's my number," I say and write the number down. "I really hope someone will be able to help me." I stand up and extend my hand to him. "My parents are good people, and I will find them with or without help from this firm, but of course, help is always appreciated."

"Yeah well...Wolfram and Hart has a disciplined affirmative action policy. Room for all kinds and everything."

Holding his hand I could feel the strength in him. I wanted to ask him about his life. School, his friends...all of it. His normal life.

"Leave this to the professionals Connor. You don't want to get abducted too, do you?"

"I know I should leave this to take care by professionals, but police were the ones who said that I have better chances to find them if I ask help here." Wonder what they will even do to find my parents...

"Besides, I can't not even try to find them. They're my parents. I need them." I really do need them, they make my life... normal. Somehow that seems really important at the moment...

"Family comes first."

Realized he was testing my grip and pulled back. He wasn't mine anymore, he was just a normal kid. Realized I might not get another chance to talk with him so I handed him Buffy's number. She might be pissed at me now, but she would still help him. "If you find anything call this number."

[puzzled_by_life]

"Family comes first."

I repeat and nod. He's right. Family is the most important. So I need to find them and make sure they're ok. I need to have them back. And I will find them.

"Thanks." I wonder who's number this is. But as long as this person can help me I'm all good. "I really am thankful for the help."

"Don't mention it." Another awkward moment hit and I looked around. This might even be harder then killing Gunn. Last time I didn't have to tell him goodbye. This time, it was different.

"Well...I've got a secretary I need to have a chat with." Along with needing to avoid Buffy. Spike was the hero now, he was also a ghost.
