Back at the prison.

Wesley led his team as they followed the head warder through the labyrinth inside the California state womens penitentiary. Angel had said he would catch up once he'd done a circuit of the prison to see if he could pick up the trail on the outside.

"I still don't see why a bunch of amatuers needed to be brought in on this." The warden grumbled. "Who the hell are you people anyway, bounty hunters?"

"Wesley Wyndham Pryce. Former rogue demon hunter." Wesley announced grandly, striking a pose.

The warden turned and stared at Wesley in complete silence for several seconds. "What on god's green earth is a rogue demon, boy?"

Wesley and Gunn, Fred, Lorne and Cordy all crowded into Faith's former cell, the warden remained outside, addressing them through the doorway.

"This was where inmate Lahane bust out from." He informed them. "Been as good as gold since she got here. Tough mind you, that girl did a better job of stamping out bullying and sexual harressment than my guards ever could have."

"I see," Wesley said as his team looked around the walls of the cell. "She gave no indication to anyone she intended to abscond?"

"Not that I know of." The official denied. "Went to lockup calm and relaxed. Sometime during the night..well..this."

In the external wall of the cell a roughly two foot square hole had been punched through the thick concrete and brick. Every wall of the cell was covered in writing from felt tip pens. Different colours, sizes and styles, but all the same word. XANDRA.

"Could be demonic possession?" Gunn suggested. "Or perhaps she's been contacted by someone or something."

"I'll do a search for Xandra when we get back." Fred offered. "It sounds like a name, maybe a person or a place?"

"No need for that." Angel was just suddenly there, standing next to the warden. "Wes and Cordy can fill you in on Alexandra Harris, we all knew her back in Sunnydale."

"How the hell did you get in here without an escort boy?" The surprised warden demanded.

"I'm sneaky like that." Angel replied and turned back to his team. "The question is why Faith's sudden obsession with Xandra? I know they had a one night stand, but it didn't mean anything to Faith. At least I always thought it didn't."

"Cordelia, you and Xandra were an item." Angel said to a great deal of surprise from some of his team. "Why do you think Faith might have become fixated on Xandra after all this time?"

Cordy grew bright red as the whole Fang Gang stared at her. The memories of the things she had done the previous night were painfully fresh in her mind. Though she hated the thought of relating her actions, thoughts and feelings to her friends, she realised that they were very pertinant to Angel's question. Also it seemed, if both she and Faith were affected, she had acted under the effect of some sort of spell or curse.

"I think the problem is a little more wide ranging than just Faith. I have a teensy weensy confession to make." The embaressed Cordelia admitted.
