ANGEL Note book… Angel stares around his desk before seeing the note pad hanging on his door with “the walk will do you good” scribbled on it” ANGEL I hate her. ATHENA You hate that I’m doing your job right. Angel stares up over his desk to see Athena holding masses of files ANGEL Do you want something? ATHENA We need to talk business. I’ve been going over your accounts for the last three years and in 2002/2003 your profits dropped 73%. Granted that whole Jasmine thing threw you off but... ANGEL You know about that? ATHENA Sweetie, I know a lot of things. (pause) During your stay at that little firm – who, by the way, don’t expect to see around in a years time. (smiles) Stocks are plummeting. (continues) Your business with the real world dropped to zero. Now, over this summer you’re making just 3% of what you were back in 2000 and that’s just not good enough. ANGEL You have been busy ATHENA Trust me Angel, I can guarantee you, without doubt – that this business will not exist by March if you don’t get over it and get on with it ANGEL Get over what? ATHENA Mainly yourself ANGEL (standing) You don’t even know me ATHENA Is that right? ANGEL That’s right ATHENA Whatever you say Angelus ANGEL Why did you call me that? ATHENA Why are you so jumpy?

Anne folds out a small poster in her pocket ANNE I posted a few round town GUNN Do me a favour. Take them down – if this guy has anything to do with this, then knowing she’s being looked for will only hurt her chances. (beat) Don’t worry, I’ll get on it END OF PART ONE INT. WESLEYS OFFICE – DAY. ILLYRIA stares at Wesley who is burning candles over a photograph of Fred. ILLYRIA You continue to worship her after such time has passed. WESLEY This isn’t worship. I’m looking for her. ILLYRIA Looking for her? WESLEY Harmony said if you died upon invite to the other dimension, then you continue to exist in this realm. I believe Fred is still out there somewhere ILLYRIA How can such a thing be true. Her shell is already occupied. WESLEY Stranger things have happened ILLYRIA You honestly believe she is here.

ANGEL Don’t tell me things about my friends when you don’t even know them ATHENA You assume too much ANGEL What the hell does that mean? You know him. ATHENA You assume they’re your friends. Angel falls silent until Harmony bounces through the door HARMONY Um, boss ANGEL What is it?

She was a liason and a bad one too. ANGEL Who are you? ATHENA What are we here for? One to one or stake to heart. ANGEL Why are you avoiding my questions? ATHENA Why are you so interested? ANGEL Why do you always answer questions with questions? ATHENA Why do you? ANGEL Do you get some pleasure out of this? ATHENA More than a little. Can we go now? ANGEL You know I think it’s best if you head back up, I don’t want to get distracted having to save you all day ATHENA You must be slacking if you think this is going to take all day. I have us scheduled at 17 minutes for the first round. ANGEL First round. ATHENA Then we have the sweet sweep of the escapees. Athena walks on. After pausing for a moment, Angel follows ANGEL You think there’ll be escapees? ATHENA When isn’t there? CUT TO. INT. WESLEYS OFFICE – DAY. Wesley seems deep in concentration as Harmony enters quietly HARMONY I made you coffee WESLEY Get out HARMONY Right, you’re a tea person, well, give me a second and… WESLEY Leave HARMONY Geez, it’s just a drink, I’ll change it… WESLEY leaps out of his chair, knocking it to the ground. He slams Harmony against the wall by her shoulder WESLEY Do listen when I repeatedly request that you leave. Currently my patience is wearing thinner than that blouse and I do not want to have to put up with that grating voice all bloody afternoon. HARMONY stares at Wesley who, after gritting his teeth and staring at her, let’s go. HARMONY I was just asking. I’m sorry. Harmony runs out of this office, Wesley loosens his shoulders and holds his head before going back to his desk and looking at a picture of Fred. WESLEY Where are you? CUT TO. EXT. STREET – DAY.
