Angel and Buffy sit in a car, waiting. "Remind me again how this will be helping us track down the bastards that murdered Xander?", Buffy snaps impatiently.
"The woman that just went in that building is Lilah Morgan, Vice President of Wlfram&Hart's Special Projects Division. No supernatural incident in this city happens without her knowledge, in fact I suppose most of them are actually caused by her firm. We know that they're working to open a portal into a hell dimension, and we assume that they're the ones who caused the permanent darkness", replies Angel.
"Great", says Buffy, "so why don't we just go after her, beat the shit out of her, and see what she knows?"
"You mean torture? Come on, we're better than them. Besides... they undergo special training. It's unlikely that we will get any information from her that she doesn't want us to have."
"So what's the plan?"
"She's apparently running some errand for Wolfram&Hart. We'll find out who she's doing business with. And... well, I suppose then we'll beat the shit out of them."
"Now we're talking!"
"Look, the door opens. There she comes..."
"WHAT?", yells Willow. "My best friend dies, right there in your operations base, and you have nothing better to do than to take us to a karaoke bar? Sorry to tell you, but I'm really not in the mood for singing. I thought you had changed since high school, but this..."
"Shut it, witch bitch." Cordelia opens the door to the Caritas. "The owner of this place is an important source of information. He knows all kinds of demons, and their life stories. Plus, he can kinda see the future."
Lorne spots the group at the door. "Ah, welcome, welcome, dear friends. In this dark hour - and this time quite literally - it warms my soul to see a friendly face. And I see you brought new customers. Excellent. Girls, boys - let me introduce myself. My name is Lorne, and I am the host of this cozy little place."
"Listen, Lorne", says Wesley. "We don't have a lot of time. We need to find out what's going on."
"Why the rush? Its not like dawn would start anytime soon. Come here, have a little drink with me. I assume one of you wants to perform a song for me? May I suggest one of your friends? We're always eager to hear new voices here. What about you?" Lorne turns to Willow.
"Me? Sing?", Willow says, baffled. "No,I don't do that. I never do that. Here... let Anya. She likes singing - don't you?"
"I suppose...", Anya responds, hesitantly.
Noone died tonight.
