Chapter 3

We fight Toudrak and his gang of bounty hunters.

          Toudrak thought this was going to be easy to take out Connor, what he didn’t was that angel and the others would be with him. Now this is going to take a bit longer, but no more than a half an hour or so he thought. But Angel, Connor and the others are definitely fighting a great deal better than Toudrak or the senior partners could have expected. Angel picks up Toudrak and throws him through a concrete wall, as Connor grabs a hunter and puts him through the window. Toudrak gets up looking through and sees a chance to kill the blond vampire name Spike because Spike was dealing with Hocphus, so he jumps out of the wall to get a piece of wood and stake Spike through the back into his heart. Spike hears a whispered ‘Watch out behind you,’ and he steps quickly out of Toudrak’s way. Toudrak stabs Hocphus in the throat and kills him instantly.

       Spike quickly grabs the make-shift stake and shoves it into Toudrak’s eye and then as Toudrak is falling dead, he jumps on the hunter that has Illyria by the hair and rips his head clean off. Which now frees up both of them, they turn and face the last three hunters that are left. Connor and Angel jumps through the window after the other hunter to find nothing but blood on the floor, Connor smells and take off at vampire top speed after the hunter while Angel went back out to help with the last three hunters.

       Illyria has two hunters up by the throat and Spike has the third hunter pinned with a stake hovering over her heart. Angel walks over to Illyria and she gives him one of the hunters as she lets go, she flicks her wrist and removes the male hunters heart in four seconds flat. Angel snaps the head off the hunter Illyria handed him less than a minute ago. Angel turns to tell Spike and Illyria that “We need to catch up with Connor, to see if there is anything we can do, then head back to the office.” Spike and Illyria agree, then as they go to take off after Connor, Spike looks at Angel and tells him “Did either of you two warn me about the hunter that was fighting you Angel?”

        Angel replies “I did not and neither did Connor that I know of. Did you Illyria?” Illyria looks awkwardly at the guys and shakes her head, then replies “I did not say anything to you Spike.” Spike looks perplexed and says, “Well someone did, but who?”  Oz shows up to take the last hunter back to the office to put her in the holding cell in the basement. Angel and the others leave to catch up with Connor; they find him five minutes later holding the other hunter against a wall by the back of his neck.

        “Hey son, how is it going here?” Angel asks Connor. “Cut it out with that son stuff, daddy. Otherwise someone may get the stupid to try to use me to get to you, too bad if they try they may find out differently.” Connor replies to Angel. Spike and Illyria both chuckle at the fun banter between father and son. Angel calls Oz to find out how long until he can pick them all up, Oz says “Give me 8 minutes and I’ll be there, sound good Angel?” Angel agrees and hangs up.

       After the gang gets back to the office, Angel and Connor interrogate both of the hunters. Angel takes the male and Connor takes the female one. Angel finds out the males name is Rydux and that all he knew was the hit on Connor has came from someone in the upper channels of Wolfram & Hart, but it was only if they could get Angel separated from Connor. Otherwise they were to kill both of them, and anyone else that was there. The female hunter’s name is Tornix and that she knew quite a bit more than Rydux.

      Tornix told Connor that Shojan is one of the lower senior partners, and that Rydux has a bomb inside of him; if they should fail he is to press on his stomach and the bomb will detonate. The first thing Connor did was to grab her and shove her in a cell, then run into the other room where Angel and Rydux are in. He grabs Rydux and races to get him to a window in order to toss his bomb-butt out of it just in time. As Rydux falls from the fourth floor window he blows up, Connor turns to find Harmony hiding in a corner. “Harm, why are you still here?” He asks her in a very annoyed tone.
