[On the Maru -- Locked to Belthazor and Beka, NFB]

[demonbelthazor]

After the phone call from Beka, Belthazor shimmered out of study hall to meet up with her at the Maru, where they'd be able to talk without being monitored by the school cameras.

Angelus was suspected of Kitty's murder. Fuck. Whether he'd done it or not, the town and the school wanted someone to blame, and Angelus was the most convenient target.

No way was he letting this happen without a fight.

"Anything you want me to do before then?" she asked calmly. "I was thinking I'd make a tearful visit to Doc Wilson, because oh, woe, my lover is accused of murder, and get out of jail free. I also want to be able to get the hell off this island, so I'm going to see if I can find some way to convince the Dean that keeping me dirtside if I need to be emo is asking for trouble."

"Good idea," Bel agreed. "We might need use of your ship at some point. See what you can do."

"Done. Anyone you want me not to talk to?"

"Veronica Mars. Any of her friends. Parker and her cronies," Bel answered. He paused a moment, then added, "Keep Phoebe as far away from his as you can."

"Believe me. I'm staying as far away from Parker as possible. I don't see Veronica. Which is good. Because right now, I can't promise I wouldn't hurt her," Beka answered, hands beginning to shake at last.

"Gods, yes. I don't want Phoebe anywhere near this." Her eyes widened. "Buffy."

"What about her?" Bel said. "She going to jump on the Angelus-is-guilty bandwagon? Can you keep her out of this?"

"We haven't really talked about him. I guess we're going to have to." Don't feel. Just do. Don't feel. Beka nodded finally. "Leave her to me. I promise I'll tell you if there's a problem."

"All right," Bel said. "I'll let you know what's up. I gotta go." He shimmered to his room.
