UNY Dorms, Friday Morning

[chasingangela]

Angela had just finished her last final and was humming "Silver Bells" as she packed for her Christmas trip home. Out of habit, she called into her Fandom voicemail -- and the smile slowly died on her face as she listened to Anakin's messageSo. Angelus was back, and she was ten years away and useless. Even though she hadn't kept her notes from that

It was late Friday evening in Hong Kong when Parker got Angela's message. She went out on the balcony of her hotel room, and watched the ships come in to harbor while the phone rang.

"Hey, it's me. You heard, hunh?"

[chasingangela]

"Yeah," Angela said, sinking back on her bed. "Who called you?"

"I called Isabel just to talk, and she told me. Otherwise, I think she would've kept it to herself until everything was fixed. I think she thought I'd have another bleeding ulcer, as it was." Parker shook her head, leaning against the balustrade. "Who called you, and how much do you already know?

[chasingangela]

"Anakin left a message, and not much," Angela said. "He wanted to know if we remembered how we put the soul back, but I kind of blocked out the whole night."

"Is anyone hurt?" That was the most important question.

Twenty minutes later there was a knock at the door and a very concerned man on the other side.

Angela went to the door and reached to pull Marty into a hug. "Again," she choked out. "I can't believe he's back."

"It'll be fine," He said holding on to her firmly. "Do we know anything else?"

[chasingangela]

"A slayer put him in jail," Angela answered, in a sort of "thank god for that, at least" tone, then quickly recounted anything else she had learned from her conversation with Parker. "I'm not sure if I can do anything by going back, but I feel like I should be there."
