Summary: One night Doyle meets a strange girl who claims she is a seer too. But when Cordelia quits and the new girl takes over in many aspects of Doyle's life is she really all she seems? Will Cordelia realize and be able to help before it's too late?

Doyle sat in his favorite pub nursing his favorite beer at the bar, his gaze on the beautiful woman beside him. He could tell something was bothering her; something had been bothering her all day while they had been at the office.

At present she was sat beside him gazing deep into space, ignoring the drink in front of her.

"Hey princess ya ok? Ya awfully quiet." said Doyle downing some ale.

"What? Oh yeah I'm fine. I'd better go before Dennis locks me out again. Bye Doyle." said Cordelia downing her drink before absentmindedly kissing him on the cheek. She left, Doyle watched her leave, his eyes tracing her curves like they did every time she entered or left a room.

"Something wrong with ya girlfriend?" asked a female voice from the other end of the bar.

Doyle followed the sound of the voice and saw a young woman sipping a tequila sunrise.

She had long brown hair and entrancing green eyes that stood out from her tanned features.She was dressed in a corset style top and a denim jacket while a pair of jeans and boots covered her lower half.

"She's not my girlfriend, just my friend," said Doyle watching as she moved up the bar to sit beside him.

"Ah so there's still hope for me then." smiled the female.

"I don't mean to be rude but who are ya exactly?" Asked Doyle.

"Ah of course, I'm Damini Ajax. You are Alan Francis Doyle right?" asked Damini.

"Yep, how do you know who I am?" asked Doyle.

"I have my sources. I heard you work for Angelus..." said Damini.

" That's Angel and good new travels fast what can I say?" asked Doyle.

"Could we go for a walk? I need to talk to ya," said Damini downing her drink.

Doyle followed suite and the two soon left and walked in the direction of Angel's building.

"So what's up?" asked Doyle shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Doyle, I heard you get visions and are part bracken demon," said Damini.

"I don't know what your talking about." said Doyle when he sneezed showing his bracken face.

"Oh you don't huh?" asked Damini reaching to stroke his cheek when Doyle shook it off.

"How did you know that?" asked Doyle.

"Because I'm like you... well kind of," said Damini as they stopped outside Angel's building.

"How?" asked Doyle.

"Well I get visions and I'm part demon on my Father's side. But its not should a big enough part for it to show." said Damini.

"I need to go check on my friend," said Doyle watching her brush hair behind her ear.

"I guess...I'm sorry I disturbed you," said Damini turning to go back the way they came.

"Wait." said Doyle putting his hand on her shoulder.

Damini turned to look at him.

"Come back tomorrow and I'll see if Angel could do with another seer," said Doyle.

"Thanks Doyle. I'll see you tomorrow," said Damini before she walked away.

Doyle walked into Angel's building to talk to the vampire before checking up on Cordelia.
