Okay. It's my first Angel fanfic and its been a while since i have written any fanfic so please be nice haha. I recently got back into watching Angel and it was right during the episodes where Wesley gets excluded from the group because of him stealing conner and this idea just kind of popped into my head so i decided to write it down. umm so yeah. please read and review and tell me what you think.

Oh. And i don't own any of the characters of Angel yada yada yada but i do own my own character Lara.

Another typical day at Angel Investigations, meaning no clients. Cordelia and Gru were still out on there "vacation," which left Angel, Gunn, Fred and Lorne to run the hotel. Wesley was of course no longer wanted by any of them at the hotel because of the incident with Conner.

None of them really had anything to do so they were all sitting downstairs staring off into space and waiting for the phone to ring or someone in need to come bursting in through the front doors of the hotel, but nothing was happening. Gunn was the first one to assert his feelings on the nothing that was happening.

"Damn, i hate to say it but i kinda wish someone would come bursting through those doors screaming about how they were being chased by some big bad evil so i can have something to do, I'm bored out of my mind."

They all agreed that tonight was unusually slow and that they needed something to do. Lorne opted to make himself another sea-breeze and Angel brushed off Gunn's comment and kept staring at a certain point on the wall. Fred understood where Gunn was coming from, but didn't think he was necessarily right in his wishing that someone was in mortal danger.

"I know we are all kind of just sitting around right now, but we cant wish torment on people just so we can get up off our feet and do something." She paused seeing that no one moved or even said anything. "Why don't we come up with something to do? we can play a game?!" Fred said in a very excited voice as if she were five-years old again.

As the others agreed with her statement and were about to go find something to do; a young woman walked through the door. She was medium in height, dark brown wavy hair, dark brown eyes, and very beautiful. She wore a pair of rectangular black rimmed glasses that suited her quite nicely and from her stature and more toned figure, it looked as if she had been in a few fights in her day and knew, very well, how to defend herself.

Gunn for a short second was taken by her but then realized that Fred was standing right next to him and that he was with her. They were all a little shocked to see her and thought that there was actually something very familiar about her but none of them seemed to be able to pin point what it was. Then Angel went to do what he did and see what the "damsel in distress" needed but Gunn had beat him to it.

"Hi. I'm Gunn. And thats Angel, Fred, and Lorne" He said while shaking her hand and pointing out who each person was. "What exactly can we do for you today? Ghouls?! Demons?! Stalkers?! Missing persons?!" Gunn was very eager in his search to discover what it was that there next case would involve and how quickly they could start.

The only thing the young woman could do at first was laugh at all of questions he asked as soon as she had walked through the door, and wondered if that was usually how they ran things here. Then she answered his question of what is was that they would be doing for her. "I'm actually looking for someone. It's my brother." she told them. They were all a little shocked when she spoke because she turned out to be English.

"Really?! So a missing persons it is. Hey, Fred you wanna ..." but Gunn was cut off by the young woman.

"Oh. No, no, no. He's not missing." She said while laughing like this was some kind of game that they were playing. Gunn was oddly puzzled as to why she was looking for someone who wasn't missing.

"Then what are you doing here looking for someone who's not missing?" he asked.

"This is Angel Investigations right?" she asked figuring that maybe she was in the wrong place.

"Yes, it is, and I'm Angel." It was the first words that Angel or anyone besides Gunn had said the whole time the young woman had been there. They were all a little dazed as to what was going on. Everyone, that is, except Gunn.

"Well, then if I'm not mistaken, which I'm sure I'm not, because i never am. My brother works here." she said very sure of herself and as if none of them were staring at her like she was crazy. "My name is Lara Wyndam-Price, and I'm looking for my brother Wesley."

Okay. so thats the first chapter. D Tell me what you think! the next chapter will be up soon i promise. if i get review of course that is. haha.
