Claire had gone with Cordy to her hotel room to talk. This was new to the both of them. They were going to try and figure out what was going on and what they needed to do.
“So how did you know where I was?” Claire asked, wanting to know what the other woman’s gift was. After meeting Peter she had realised that she wasn’t alone, it made her feel better, a little better anyway.
“I get visions.” Cordy said simply, what she did was hard to explain.
“You see the future.” Claire frowned as she tried to understand what was meant by ‘visions’
The young seer muttered this was where the problems started, the explanation. “I get sent messages by the PTB. They tell me when people are in trouble. Yours was different I was asleep when it came to me. I’ve never had a vision like that.”
“PTB?”
“The Powers That Be and don’t ask it’s a long story that you won’t believe.” She grinned and the smile lit up her hazel eyes in amusement.
“Ok, so do you know why I have to be saved and from what?” The cheerleader asked.
“No I don’t I just packed up and left not telling any, damn Angel and the others must have freaked. I’d better phone them.”
“Wait you just left to come and save me, not telling anyone where you were going.” Claire’s blue eyes widened in surprise amazed that these people were risking everything to come and save her and not knowing why.

Angel paced the lobby, getting very angry. No one had seen Cordy, no idea where she was nothing. Whoever had taken her was going to pay dearly. The ringing of the phone echoed around him, he ignored it knowing that Fred was going to answer it.
“Angel.” The petite Texan called out.
“Not now Fred.” Angel called out not wanting to speak to anyone.
“It’s Cordy.” Before Fred could turn to him, the receiver was taken from her hand.
“Cordy where the hell, what. But if it was a, what do you mean not for me.” His eyes narrowed with annoyance. “Where are, why aren’t you going to tell me. Of course I would come. Wait you don’t want me to. It has nothing to do with me, but you. Cordy, hello, Cordy. Damn.” Angel slammed the phone down hard. “Fred, find out where the hell she was calling from.”
Fred watched as her handsome boss, her saviour stormed off. His body rigid, hands clenched. Cordy was the only one that could do this to him and from this side of the conversation she had a vision. It was a vision for her and had no intention of letting Angel know where she was and what she was doing. Grabbing the phone she knew that she’d better let Gunn and Wesley know what was going on.

Nikki lay on a hospital bed; she had been removed from the mental institution by an unknown party who had the experience to ‘help’. She had herself arrested because of what Jessica had done, murdered people, tried to kill the father of her child, the man she loved still.
But as soon as Jessica had come out to play they thought she was insane, split personality but they didn’t understand that she was real, a killer and very dangerous. Now she was somewhere else not drugged, not restrained, whoever had her was in trouble.

Cordy stared at the phone and shook her head at it. “He just never listens, not everything revolves around him.”
“No it seems to be revolving around me.” Claire muttered bitterly.
“Look Claire, I have no idea why I have to be here, I just know that I do. I don’t know why we have to save you and from what. We’ll figure it out together ok. So do you have any idea why you?” Cordy stared at the teenager; assessing her but in her experience you could never judge a book by its cover.
“The only thing I can think of is my ummm ability.” Claire looked at Cordy and saw her frown. “I suppose you could say I’m invulnerable.”
“Invulnerable?”
“Yes I have jumped from bridges, broken every single bone. I had a stick through my neck and woke up on an autopsy table.” Claire suddenly stopped at the horror on Cordy’s face.
“An autopsy, hang on I don’t even want to think about it.” Her brunette locks shook at the movement of her head.

Nikki slowly opened her eyes, raising a hand to her head, blood covering it. Her heart pounding she sat up, realising that she was on the floor. Looking around the bodies littered the floor, blood running down the drains. It had been a massacre.
Jessica had made a return visit, it was their own faults. She had told them all not to under estimate her, but they had and now had paid the price for that.
Nikki closed her eyes and took a deep breath voices ran around in her mind. Odessa, Texas, Claire, cheerleader, capture. She knew what she had to do, find this cheerleader and warn her that people, bad people were after her.
