ANGEL: 'Fred? - Fred, it's just me! - I'm alone. - Listen - whatever that thing is with your parents? - You know, we can help you. - Fred?

(Two glowing blue eyes peek around a recess behind Angel as he walks on)

(Night, Los Angeles Public Library)

TRISH: Does Fred come to the library often?

CORDELIA: Uh, well, this was the first place I ever saw her.

TRISH: She used to love our little community library back home. Every afternoon, I'd pick her up there after my rounds.

CORDELIA: Oh, a doctor! No wonder Fred's so smart!

TRISH: I drive a school bus.

CORDELIA: Oh. Well, I-I've actually never - ridden in one of those, but I hear they're very nice.

ROGER: What exactly does Fred do for you people? It strikes me a little odd, a physicist working for a detective agency.

CORDELIA: Uh, well, Fred's ah... gone through some changes.

ROGER: And whose fault is that?

WESLEY: We've swept all the floors. Nothing.

TRISH: Oh!

ROGER: So. What's next?

WESLEY: Give me one second to confer with my colleagues.

(He pulls Cordy away with him and Gunn.)

GUNN: I could have *told* you she wasn't going to be at the library.

WESLEY: Then if you know so much about her, Gunn, why don't you just tell us where she is?

GUNN: Bet that taco stand's not looking so bad now, is it?

CORDELIA: Hey! Mr. and Mrs. Bickerson, a little focus, please. There is *definitely* something going on with them.

(They look over at the Burkles talking quietly to each other.)

WESLEY: So, where *do* we go next? - Where would Fred go for help? For guidance?

(Angel is still slowly walking along the sewer looking for Fred.)

ANGEL: Fred? - Nothing to be afraid of.

(Angel jumps as his cell phone rings. He pulls it out of the breast pocket of his coat and opens it.)

ANGEL: What? - No. You? (listens) Oh! You mean the place where she would go for help and guidance! And we call ourselves detectives. I'll meet you there.
