Angel stood and looked at the young woman who had just killed the daemon in his lobby. She didn't seem abnormal, she seemed like the normal single mother looking for a job. At least until she stabbed the daemon through the forehead with a really cool looking sword.
"well yeah" looking to his right he watched as Wesley walked up to Randi "I'm Wesley Windom-Price"
"Randi La Salle" she said and shook his hand.
Angel walked up the her and looked her over "Witch?"
"no" she answered and smirked
"Vampire?" he asked again.
"Nope, all human I promise" she said and clicked her sword and he watched as it slid back into a small switch blade.
"Where did you learn that?" he asked "and where did you get that?"
"I grew up in CA, not much you don't learn" she walked back over to her purse and put her switch blade back in it "And My father gave this to me, only one like it"
"well, I sure am glad you came in today" Wesley said and smiled at her "I'm not even sure what kind of daemon what was"
"It was a Grestulick Daemon, he must have smelt the children, they love to eat them" a worried look suddenly crossed her face and she ran towards the office "My son!"
"Mama! That was so cool!" Angel watched as she picked up her son and hugged him close. "Can you do that again?"
"YEAH!" and angel smirked as his son Conner came out of the office.
"Whoa there kiddo, no more daemon slaying today" Angel said and ruffled his hair.
"So is this usual around here?" Angel turned and looked at Randi.
"Unfortunately yes, that is what I was going to tell you" he watched as she nodded and wiped a stray tear from her face.
"Well then, thank you. But no thank you. I left Idaho so my son could have a normal life, And as good as that felt to be back into the swing of things I can't let him be around this." she looked over at Fred then Wesley "Have a good day"
"Wait" Fred said and touched her arm "Its not this crazy all the time. Well…"
"Yes it is Fred." Angel said and looked at Randi "The job comes with an apartment upstairs, nine hundred dollars a week to start and great benefits. Daycare is provided, and schooling for the kids."
"I can't" Randi said and turned from him.
"What are you running from?" he asked and noticed how stiff she went.
"This, I just drove eight hundred miles to get my son out of a bad situation, I don't want him in another one." She turned back towards the door and left, leaving Angel with a scowl on his face.
"So. Are you going to fallow her or am I going to have to?" Fred demanded and crossed her arms "She is perfect, we need her"
"I know" Angel said and walked into his office. He grabbed his jacket and headed back towards Fred and Wesley "I'm going to go to her hotel, Wes, tell Gunn when he gets back to clean up the apartment across from mine"
"but…" Fred Started
"I know, but Cordy would have wanted her to have it you know that" he said and gave a sad smile to his friends, His wife sweet Cordielia had died three months ago giving birth to their daughter Hope. "Its time to get some one to help around here. And there aren't any other apartments ready"
"Okay" Fred said and turned to go up the stairs.
Walking down into the garage he hopped into his car and fallowed her sent.
