(we hear moaning coming from Wes' office.)

FRED: Is there someone in Wes' office?

(Before they can check the front doors open and Holtz strides in. At the same time several of his people appear from different places all around the lobby. )

ANGEL: Won't you come in.

HOLTZ: How is fatherhood treating you?

ANGEL: I like it. You know - I met a friend of yours tonight. A demon named Sahjhan?

HOLTZ: What did he have to say?

ANGEL: He was cryptic. Actually he was kind of long-winded. I didn't quite get what his deal was. I wasn't paying that much attention to him. He hates me. Do you know why?

HOLTZ: I don't really care why. So - where is the little nipper?

ANGEL: Oh, he had to go out. Sorry. I know he'd love to meet you.

HOLTZ: I'm sure he'll turn up. - Looks like you made a nice life for yourself here.

ANGEL: Are you here to fight or shall I make some tea?

HOLTZ: (to men) I want to keep Angelus alive - but not well.

(the battle begins. During the fight, Lorne comes too and contributes some musical weaponary, and Holtz slips quietly away. the attackers are subdued.)

ANGEL: (to Fred) Easy. Come on. Are you hurt?

FRED: I don't think so.

ANGEL: Call Wes. (seeing Lorne) Jeez, Lorne. They got you good. You better sit down.

(Lorne just looks at Angel.)

ANGEL: What?

LORNE: They didn't do this to me. Wesley did.

ANGEL: Wesley? - What are you talking about?

LORNE: Well, earlier when he came to pick up the baby, Connor started crying and Wes hummed a little lullaby, and I read him and... - I don't know why he did it.

ANGEL: Did what?

LORNE: He - he's been to see Holtz behind your back. Twice. And he's not taking the baby overnight. He's - he's taking the baby away - for good.
