The car roared to a stop and Angel leaped out of the seat, quickly moving with the speed only a vampire such as himself could only possess he quickly lifted Faith from the seat, he could see her legs where weak so he just carried her through quickly into the reception area, he looked round only seeing Fred standing holding the hpone in her hand.
He looked round and moved over to the large circular couch in the middle of the lobby and he placed her on it "Faith, I'm gonna have to take out the bullet before there's an infection"

She looked straight at him. "Just do it quick." She braced herself. It had to be done, and it had to be done here. If she turned up at hospital with a bullet wound, there would be questions asked. Especially since earlier that day she had been a guest of the state.

Fred's eyes widened as she saw Angel carry an injured woman and put her on the seating. She was unsure what to do, she did not want to let Wesley or Cordelia down, but the woman scared her, the talk of bullits was not helping.
She looked at Angel, the man who had saved her and who now kept her safe, "I have to listen... Cordy had a vision... at least I think she had a vision...she wasn't very coherent... then I think she died...at least she didn't to me or Wesley...so he went to see if she was ok...I have to listen...who's the woman? Who shot her?....are we safe?"

Angel got up quickly "Fred, relax, everything's gonna be okay, just go sit in the office and I'll take care of this first" he moved passed her and ran into the bathroom, he grabbed the med kit under the sink and ran back into the lobby. the blood wasn't stoppong, he had to patch this wound soon. And fast.
He opened the med kit and took out out a mouth sheild "Bite down on this" he said and then took out a pair of long tweezers cruved at the end, he held it over the wound and looked at her "You ready?"

Faith took the mouth shield and bit down on it. She grabbed hold of Angel's jacket with one hand and dug her nails into the seat with the other.
You ready?
She nodded her head and closed her eyes, perparing herself for the inevitable pain. As Angel stuck the tweezers in, searching for the bullet, it felt like her stomach was on fire. Waves of pain spread over her and she tightened every muscle in her body to try and deal with it. Unable to contain it, she spat out the mouth guard and cried out, tightening her grip on Angel's jacket. Her eyes were watering again, making streaks down her dirty face.

Angel kept pushing the tweezers in until he felt the bullet, he gripped it with thw tweezers and pulled it out, He looked at the bullet and set it down on the seat and looked at faith, he put his arms round her "It's okay, it's out, I got it out"
He then reached for the med kit and pulled out a bottle of disinfectant and poured some on the wound, Faith flinched as she held onto him, not stopping he grabbed some gauze and a bandage and wrapped up the wound. He sat next to her "I cleaned it up, you'll be fine"
He'd taken many bullets himself, even one from Faith, so he knew how much it hurt to take those things out especially slugs which seemed to just bury themselves deep in your muscle, he held her close trying to keep her calm "Just relax, you're okay now"

Fred had not moved, she was rooted to the spot, unable to think how to help, instead she just stared. Things she had seen in one day made her heart beat fast and her head spin. She longed for the safety of her room, but was too afaid to make the journey alone.

Breathing a deep relief after he had finally pulled the bullet free, Faith relaxed all her muscles, just letting her arms fall loosely to her sides. She was still shaking a little, but she felt safe being held by Angel. It reminded her of that rainy night in the alley, when she had begged him to kill her. Now, in her head she had begged him to help her live.
"Not bad for my first day out, huh." she said weakly. Looking over Angel's shoulder, she spotted Fred, looking like a rabbit in the headlights. "Who's the wallflower?"

Angel looked over his shoulder, Fed hadn't moved from the phone since Angel had entered the hotel, something serious must have happened, he thought she looked so fragile when she got scared "That's Fred, she's a new friend of mine" he smiled at her and held out his arm "Come here, there's someone you should meet"

Fred's eyes were wide as she put the reciever on the table and moved slowly to Angel. She trusted him, but she was terrified of anything new.
"Meet? Me, I mean who would wanna meet me, I-I should be getting back..." Her voice trailed off as she reached them

Angel took her hand gently "Just calm down a second okay?" he kept his smile and looked from her to Faith "Fred, this is an old friend of mine Faith"

Faith smiled. She had never met anyone quite so nervous. She was sweet, if not a little timid. "Hey, Fred." She said lifting her hand to greet her. But then she realised it was covered in blood and dirt, so she put it back down.

Faith gaved Angel an amused look. "She needs walls?"
She looked back to Fred. "I...,er, I don't know where I'm gonna be living. I hadn't expected to be out at all today."

Angel laughed under his breath "Yeah, you can keep my room, Faith'll be staying in my room till she's one hundred percent" he stood up, taking Faith up on her feet "Okay, now you girls are reaquianted, let's get Faith all cleaned up"
He held onto Faith tightly as they walked to the stairs, he looked at Fred "You coming?"
