It took Angel a few tries to find the portal back to our dimension, but he found it and we made it back home safely. I was relieved and scared to back. We were home, no more weird dimensions, but we were also back to a world were we were living under the dictatorship of a mad man. More than the relief and fear was overwhelming happiness. In less

I decided I need to know once and for all. That and I was mega curious about these meetings I had missed in Angel's office. I was feeling left out, and I didn't like that. I missed the days when we were all a team, working together to battle the forces of evil.

I was walking down the hall, trying to figure out who I could go talk to about this, and I happened to be right by Fred's lab. Maybe she could tell me something...the end of the day was near anyway, and there she was, still working in her lab, wading through piles of paperwork.

I walked up and said, with a smile, "Haven't you heard of quitting time yet, Fred? You know you don't have to work through the night to get all of that done, right?"

I didn't know how to ask her what I had come to ask her yet. But maybe in the course of our conversation, I would figure that out.

Grinning at Charles, I sat my pen down and shuffled the papers around on my desk. I'd been filling out an order for to acquire some of the supplies we'd need to help the victims. It wasn't something I'd normally order and since it was supposed to be a secret, I needed to keep it hidden. And I really hated that I had to hide it from Charles. Unfortunately I had no idea where is loyalties were placed, so the secrets had to keep being secrets.

I leaned back in my chair and took off my glasses, "I didn't plan on working through the night, just needed to finish up a few things before heading home." I stifled a yawn and gave him another grin, "And what is one of the firm's best and brightest lawyers doing here so late? I thought you'd be long gone by now."

What was he doing here? Maybe he was working for Meers and he knew something about the meeting we'd had earlier today and he was here to find out about it. I kept my face neutral, but my mind was working a mile a minute to figure out what to say if he asked about the meeting. I was

I didn't know what to say for a moment, I mean, I just couldn't come out and say it in the offices of Wolfram and Hart. Instead, I decided to do the only thing I could. Get Fred out of this office so we could really talk about the meeting I missed.

"Just on my way out. I missed the meeting in Angel's office earlier and wanted to know if I missed anything. I'm sure it was boring business CEO stuff, but still, I pride myself on being in the know. In fact, I was wondering if you'd like to go out for a drink so we can talk about it in a lessing boring environment. It's on me. You game, Fred?"

I hope she caught my drift and was also hoping that no one else caught my drift. The old me slipped out at the end, but I didn't think that would raise too much suspicion on anyone's radar, hopefully not hers either. I didn't want to her to think I was a spy for Wolfram and Hart, because I'm not. But I've got to get this nagging suspicion of the leaders of America out of my head. Fred could help with that, hopefully.
