Wes carefully made his way out of his office, seeing her behind the reception counter. He slowly moved against the wall, stopping when he was much closer to the open area of the lobby. Faith's attention appeared to be on a very confused Anna right now. A slight panic settled in his stomach. Would they be able to stop her if she decided to make Anna into some sort of punching bag? Obviously she was still trapped in the memories of her mind.
He winced and idly rubbed a hand on his chest, trying to figure out what to do. He didn't believe that his presence was really going to help calm Faith down...He should probably head off to another part of the hotel before she saw him.

Looking over his shoulder to Anna he nodded "Don't worry, Faith's just a little confused, she's been coped up in here for too long" slowly he made his way to the weapons cabinet and opened it, after a few moments of searching he produced a wooden stake. he walked to Faith and held it out to her "Take this, go for a walk or something"

"Don't worry, Faith's just a little confused, she's been coped up in here for too long"
Faith crouched down and put her hands over her face, taking deep breaths trying to calm herself down. Angel was right, she was confused. Her mind was playing tricks on her and she couldn't figure out why. Had too much time alone in the darkness done something to her? Would she ever be able to get past it and not freak out whenever something triggered her memories? She didn't like to feel she had no control of her own mind, and that was what worried her the most.
"Take this, go for a walk or something"
She opened her eyes to see Angel standing close by with a stake in his outstretched hand. Slowly she stood up, searching his eyes for comfort. She reached out to take the stake, her fingers brushing against Angel's skin for a moment.
"I'm sorry. I don't know why i'm being like this." She said apologetically.

Shrugging his hand fell to his side "Don't worry about it, maybe you just need some fresh air, clear your head" looking at her, he wanted so much just to hold her but he knew he couldn't bring himself to do that, not right now anyway.Besides, he thought, it would keep her out of the way while he plans his one man strike on Wolfram & Hart.

Out of the corner of her eye, Faith saw movement by the office door. Then she saw Wesley, rubbing his chest in pain. She felt a pang of guilt and the need to get away returned. She snatched the stake from Angel's and lept over the counter and ran for the door. Practically knocking it off it's hinges as she burst through it out into the night.

While Angel tried to calm Faith, Anna saw Wesley emerge from his office, obviously in pain. Had Faith injured him? And if that were the case, how were any of them safe? Then she watched in disbelief as Angel handed her something from what looked like a weapons cabinet: a wooden stake. Then Faith rushed out of the hotel, to do who knows what kind of damage. Anna walked over to Wesley. "Are you okay?" she asked in a concerned tone, since no one else seemed to care. Then she turned on Angel. "Y'know, not to question the way you run your little operation here, but maybe giving a deadly weapon to a woman who's clearly mentally unstable and overly aggressive wasn't the wisest thing to do," she suggested. ((ooc: If Wes wasn't gonna' say it, then Anna will. ))

Angel shut the doors of the weapons cabinet and nodded "She'll be fine, trust me, after killing a few vampires around town she'll feel a lot better" he knew that maybe giving her a weapon wasn't the wisest of choices, in fact given the current circumstances it was down right stupid and dangerous but he felt that maybe felt treuly comfrtoable and safe with a weapon in her hand, she was getting better, she just needed the right push, he just hoped he'd given her the right one.

Its been a while since Lorne stepped out of caritas and he was wondering how angel Investigations were going. Last time he was in contact was when Cordy was having those visions and skipped out on them at caritas. So now he would go and see if he could help.
opening the door to the hotel he smiled and saw a group of people in the middle of the hotel lobby. "Hello little lamb doves, miss me?" Than he turned to Anna and smiled, Lorne noticed she was still alive and breath and also wondered if she was yet out of the Woods.
"I remember you, has your lucked changed for the better?"

Angel shut the doors of the weapons cabinet and nodded "She'll be fine, trust me, after killing a few vampires around town she'll feel a lot better"
"Perhaps you missed the part where she was delusional?" Anna reminded. "Thinking I was someone else? I just hope she doesn't make a mistake and get stabby on the non-vampires out there."
She jumped slightly as somone else entered the hotel. Recognizing the green skin and the snappy ensemble, she smiled in relief. "Hello, Lorne," she greeted.
"I remember you, has your lucked changed for the better?"
"Well, not as such, but we're working on it," she replied, looking at Wesley with a hopeful expression.

Wesley could only watch in disbelief as Angel, instead of restraining the crazed Faith in some fashion, instead handed her a weapon. His whole body tensed as he prepared for Faith to strike, but she didn't. Instead, she rushed out of the building. Wes worried about the safety of the general public for a moment, then Anna was next to him.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
He nodded, still idly rubbing the spot where Faith had rammed into him. "I'll be fine." Then he listed as Anna rounded off on Angel, Angel giving a feeble excuse in reply. He snorted and rolled his eyes.
"She'll be fine, trust me, after killing a few vampires around town she'll feel a lot better"
"You're just lucky that you're not one of the vampires she chose to dust. She's not well, Angel. And I don't believe that allowing her to run free with a weapon of any sorts is very wise."
He waited for Angel's reply to that, but was distracted by the arrival of the ever-colourful Lorne. Lorne greeted Anna and inquired upon her current luck. Anna turned to Wes, a hopeful look on her face. "Well, not as such, but we're working on it."
He nodded. "I've just got a few more things to pick up, then we'll try a spell I've found that should help us rid you of your...problem." He gave her what he hoped was a reassuring smile. "Everything will turn out well."

Anna tensed as she prepared for a volley between Wesley and Angel. Obviously, this Faith was a point of contention between them but she didn't want to pry. And Faith didn't seem like the sharing sort.
She returned Wesley's smile. "If you say so," she said, somewhat lacking in conviction. She scanned the area behind the reception desk. "Looks like Cordelia is missing in action. Shall I make some coffee?"

"Look, I've got other things on my mind, I'll go look for her later, right now there's something I gotta do" he looked at Lorne and nodded "Nice to see you around Lorne" he walked passed himand headed up to his room.

"Is it cold in here or is it just me?" Lorne said as he watched Angel dispear above the stairs. "Anyways I'm sure wes will get the job done. And your'll be just fine and everything will work out for the best."
He was thinking of asking her to sing a little, just to make sure. But he wasn't sure if she wanted to know. cause sometimes things are just delayed and he rather not liet her worry about death right now. When hope was still around.

Anna leaned on the reception desk as they watched Angel walk up the stairs, then she turned to Wesley. "Have I told you lately how very glad I am that you're working on my case instead of Mr. Sunshine there? I mean, I thought I was the one with the shadow of death hanging over her head. If anyone should be sulking, it's me."
She went around to the other side of the desk and began preparing the coffee, just as she'd done earlier that morning. The routine was rather calming.
"Anyways I'm sure wes will get the job done. And you'll be just fine and everything will work out for the best."
She blinked at Lorne. "You're certainly more optimistic than the last time I talked to you. I sang for him at Caritas about a week ago," she explained to Wesley. "And please don't ask me for an encore. I don't want to lower your opinion of me any more than it already is."

Lorne smiled and looked to the pot of coffee, "ahh coffee, mind if i help myself?"
