Why didn't I think about cutting the rope, Xander thought. Xander grabbed hold of the chain, and starting climbing. Each time he got closer to the top it felt like his arms were being ripped of by some unseen force. Xander reached the top in no time. Conquered the chain, now the stairs he thought. He ignored Lilah's remark about getting lost, and thought from now until we get out of here, i'm just going to ignore her. What ever she says next I wont react to, he thought. He saw Lilah climb into the shaft and followed close behind.

"Hey Tiger...hows your arm?" Lilah gives a devlish grin, then hurries down the tunnel, leading to the top floor, which was the most highly secured floor. "Now this is where the human shield theory becomes handy."
Lilah surveys the area, then pulls the crossbow of her shoulder and shoots at the alarm, smashing it. "Nothing like a woman with a crossbow is there?" Lilah confidently walks past the alarm and hides behind the wall, watching the guards.

"Nothing like a woman with a crossbow is there?" Xander sarcastically copied Lilah. "Why me as the shield? Angel's the indestructable one" he complained. He followed Lilah and hid next to her. He saw the guards. "Is that all of them?" he asked Lilah. He was hoping so, there were only two. We can so take them on, he thought. His question was answered as three more guards made the scene. "Crap" he cursed.

"Well Angel isn't here with us is he? Being the big bad vampire, he probably tried to find another way to save the day, like usual." Lilah snickers, then listens to Xander whine about the guards.
"We can handle them..." Lilah gets her crossbody ready and shoots one of the guards, piecing him in the head. Lilah smirks and looks as Xander. "Nothing like a woman with a crossbow....Here they come!" Lilah pushes Xander in front of her and starts setting the crossbow up again.

Xander ran in, well he had no choice cause Lilah pushed him. A guard charged at him, he swung his arm, Xander doged that easily. In return he punched him in the nose, the guard stummbled back, before he could recover Xander tripped him over and peirced him in the chest with his sword. He bought it back out and charged at the closets guard.

Lilah then charges in and aims at nearby guards..."Dammit, they have already sent the demons after us.." Lilah observes, seeing demons approach Xander. She aims for one, but misses, hitting it in the arm. It gets angry and charges at Lilah, knocking her to the floor. She gets out her dagger and tries to attack it, but it grabs the dagger. "ANGEL!!!!" Lilah screams.

The demon rushed towards Lilah, it had it's sights set on her. It had her, he thought. She screamed for Angel. No way he's going to get here in time, he thought. Xander snuck up behind it, and swung his knife through it's neck. It's puss infected head fell to Xander's feet.
"You owe me!" Xander smirked at Lilah.

Lilah shows signs of relief. She gets to her feet and shows interest in Xander's actions. "Well...well, guess I was slightly wrong about you Tiger...but I had it under control.."
Lilah picks up the dagger and steps over the crumbling demon. She then slashes at another of the demons and continuously stabs it in the heart. "See?" Lilah smirks, and walks over the carnage created.

"Oh yeah, screaming out to Angel for help, tells me you..." he kicks a charging guard in the chest, wind gushes out of him, "had it under control" Xander grunted
Xander thought they had killed all of them, but knowing his luck, wait what luck. THUMP THUMP! The ground shook violently. "We have more company, did you get the guest bedroom ready?" Xander joked, to cover up his quivering nerves.

"Come on Xander...we don't have time for jokes, we can't take them all, lets just get somewhere secure, I'm sure Angel will be able to catch up to us." Lilah grabs Xander by the arm and pulls him into a nearby room. Lilah locks the door, and pushes heavy furniture in front of it. "There,,,that should hold them for now...luckiyl there is a secret passage to the lower floors."
Lilah pushes the bookcase, showing a tunnel heading down. "Nothing like the moving bookcase huh?" Lilah grimmaces, then slowly goes down the tunnel.

"Yeah, cause there is never a hidden passageway behind the bookcase" Xander said as he followed her into the tunnel.
The tunnel was like all the other tunnels, it looked exacltly like a sewer. "Can't Wolfram and Hart have five star tunnels?" He asked stupidly. "So what's on this lower floor?"

Lilah grins as Xander discusses the bookcase. "Hey, its Wolfram & Hart, anything is possible."
Lilah heads down the tunnel, with Xander following and chuckles about five star sewers. "I'm so sorry...next your going to want a five star cementary. If beggers could be chooses..."
Lilah exits the tunnel. "To answer your question, on the floor, is where the crystal lies, but of course we need Angel to get anywhere close to it..it will be like a guard martygra down there..."

"So, what exactly does this crystal do. The Powers that Be couldn't have sent you here and not tell you anything." He had his supicisons that she did know, and he wasn't going to stop bugging her about it till he knew. If it was him that The Powers that Be sent, he wouldn't of come till he knew what exactly he was looking for.
He rounded a corner and in the distant he heard a faint 'grr'. "Did you hear that?" He asked.

"Yeah, it was my stomach telling me I'm hungry." Lilah looked disconcerned at what Xander was asking.
"The crystal has a magical essence, which allows anyone capable to summon deadly beings who once walked this earth...gods, demon kings, you name it and it can be summoned. Not even Angel will be able to stop the forces if they arrive. So do you want another history lesson or should we just get the crystal?"

"No, it's not your stomach, it was a demony growl. Wow that must be one powelful crystal. Can it summon the senior partners?" Xander continued walking when he heard the growl again, louder this time. "Now that can't be your stomach" he walked up a bit further, slime fell down to his face. He wiped at it and remember where it came from, he glanced up and saw this slime covered demon. It fell down on top of him.
