All over bar the paperwork

May 21, 2007 14:20

With Johnny Sorrow taken care of, Angel, Sand, and the others head back to Wolfram & Hart. The infirmary has been alerted, so the state-of-the-art facility is ready and waiting for their return. The 12-year-old would-be sacrificial victim is quickly transported to be thoroughly checked out.

Waiting for them in the infirmary is a very anxious

"Angel? Spike?" Fred ducks around the busy medicos to give her friends her own once-over. "Sand?" She spares Wesley a quick glance.

"You know, I don't remember Kriaphors hitting that hard."

There's a grunt of discomfort as Angel shifts, placing a hand on his ribs.

"Someone needs to talk to the young lady so we can help her get home. She was too scared to talk at the site, obviously." Sand said. He doesn't seem to be that much worse for wear. "There were almost two dozen of them playing dogpile, Angel. It's not the hit, it's the hits, sometimes."

"Trust me," says Lorne, pulling away from his cell phone for a moment as he enters. "Our little Angelkins knows all about putting on the hits."

He holds up his finger to indicate "one moment" as he finishes his call.

"Tim, Tim, Tim. I told you, no more contracts with Fox unless they can guarantee a season ... Yes .... Yes, I know who they sold their souls to ... Where do you think American Idol came from?"

Sand sat in Angel's office, typing furiously. Angel was gracious enough to give him access to Wolfram and Hart's files.

QUERY: Dodds, Wesley

....

808 FILE NOT FOUND.

QUERY: BELMONT, DIAN

....

808 FILE NOT FOUND.

QUERY: D'AUBIGNE, THERESE

...

DECEASED. DOD 8/12/89. SEE FILE "D'AUBIGNE PACT".

Sand began reading through the file...and apparently the D'aubigne's have been historical clients of Wolfram and Hart.

Then he gets to the 'ritual sacrifice' part, and his blood begins to boil.

"Sand?" Fred is standing in the doorway. "Y'all right?"

Angel enters from the elevator to the penthouse, adjusting the buttons on his shirt.

"Have we found anything out about how to get you home?"

Re: The next day sand_hawkins May 23 2007, 16:37:09 UTC

Sand looks up, trying to process both questions at once. "Well, I'm reading here about how the doppelganger for the woman I love on THIS world was given up for ritual sacrifice as a young child in exchange for legal counsel for your firm, and I guess I'm having a really hard time with the idea that you and yours are going to make this place a force for good."

Sand turns to Angel. "Wes can get me to my DIMENSION relatively easily enough, the problem is getting me to within a couple weeks of my time - time travel is nearly UNHEARD of in this universe, I guess. He said he's probably going to need a couple weeks to get the necessary research and call in the necessary favors."
