The shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan

Shocked at the way I'd been ordered out of his office, I hadn't even bothered to stopped to argue with Angel. Something peculiar was going on with him, and I had to admit my curiousity was piqued. Especially after my encounter with young Mr. Reilly. Certainly something about him had set Harmony off. While Angel was content to believe that it was

I smiled as Wesley walked through the lab doors. He had a troubled look on his face a minute before so I knew his visit wasn't totally for pleasure. "Hello there," I leaned up and kissed his cheek gently. I walked over to where I'd been working and felt him at my back, "I was actually going to either call you or go get you."

I gave him another smile, "So this is very good timing, Mr. Wyndam-Pryce."

I nodded and snuggled against him, "Much." I frowned and mumbled against his sweater, "Harmony bit him? I don't know whether that means he's such a good guy that she had to bite him or if it means that he's so completely evil she had to bite him."

I smiled a bit, "But then Harmony has never been a good measure on what's good and bad." I turned my head and looked up at him, "We'll figure this out, together, ok? We'll go back up to Wolfram and Hart and demand that Angel tell us what's going on. He can't just ignore us....I mean, can he?"

"I wasn't as concerned with whether he was good or bad. More along the lines of who, or what he may be that caused Harmony to be inclined to attack him." I frowned knowing that Harmony had been off human blood for quite some time. There must have been something about Connor that had set her off.

"I don't believe that's necissarily the wisest...or safest plan of action." If Angel has indeed lost his soul, I didn't want Fred to be anywhere near him if and when I decided to confront him. I had no doubts that Winifred could take care of herself quite well as a matter of fact. I was still loathe to risk it. "Perhaps we should look into locating Cordelia, she may be able to shed some light on the situation."

"Don't you have a few private detectives on retainer that aren't associated with the firm that you could use? If you don't trust Angel, then using an outside person to locate Cordy will be our best bet." I knew Wesley was right, but part of me still wanted to go and confront Angel, make him tell me what was going on. He was our friend...we should be able to trust him.

I took a deep breath and asked what I hoped would give me an answer of no, "You don't think...that Angel...that Wolfram and Hart have...turned Angel...do you?"

"Certainly not." I said quickly, a little too quickly and Fred I knew was much too smart to let it pass. "Well now that you mentioned it the thought had crossed my mind." I admitted, backpeddling on my statement.

With a sigh I held onto her tighter, wondering where I'd be without her presence. It seemed these days she was the only stable thing I had to hold onto. I certainly couldn't count on my friendship with Angel considering how absurd he had been acting. Suddenly I very much missed Cordelia, I really should look into finding her.

"Yes, I still have some...outside contacts. Locating Cordelia shouldn't present a problem."
