(Groo is lying on the settee in the lobby. Gunn and Fred hurry in from outside. )

GUNN: Nobody's here.

FRED: Good.

GUNN: Bad. We got to find Angel and tell him we screwed up. (Fred looks at him) Okay, get your point.

FRED: Where is everybody?

GROO: (standing) I'm here. - Cordelia and Angel are upstairs trying out bedrooms.

(Gunn and Fred stare, then look at each other)

GROO: For Angel's son.

FRED & GUNN: Oh.

(Cordy and Angel walk down the hall together. )

CORDELIA: I'm not telling your sixteen year old boy that.

ANGEL: Well, someone has to make sure he knows the facts of life. My track record with the whole man/woman thing isn't, you know... I don't wanna use the words 'tragic farce' but...

CORDELIA: Why not? You're still telling him.

ANGEL: You could help fill in the blanks. He's gonna have questions. Like, what do you do with a woman's Schlug-Tee again?

CORDELIA: (gasps) You and your vampire hearing! Next time you eavesdrop I'm gonna...

(Takes a hold of his ear and whispers into it as the other watch.)

ANGEL: (laughing) Easy there, sailor! You use that kind of language at home? (to Fred & Gunn) Where is he?

FRED: Ah...

GUNN: He ran away. He overheard us saying you were going to Holtz.

ANGEL: Then that's where he went.

FRED: We were just there. We didn't see either of them.

ANGEL: All he's gonna find is an empty room. He won't know what's happened.

GUNN: What's happened?

CORDELIA: Holtz left. He wants Steven to live here with Angel.

FRED: That's good! - As long as we find him and tell him before...

GROO: He's here.

CORDELIA: How can we tell him before...

(Their heads turns as the door opens and Connor walks in.)

CORDELIA: Oh.

ANGEL: Hey. - You all right?

CONNOR: I went to see my... - He wasn't there.

ANGEL: Yeah. I'm sorry. He's - he left, Steven. - He gave me this letter to give to you.

(Angel hands him Holtz' letter and Connor reads it. )

CONNOR: He says my place is here now - with you.

ANGEL: It wouldn't have to be forever. Maybe just - give it a try for a while.

CONNOR: Okay. - We'll give it a try.

(he gives a creepy, creepy smile)
