A/N: This picks up right where the last chapter left off. In addition, I like Dennis so he is getting a somewhat bigger role in this story. Please review.

Disclaimer: See previous chapters.

Meanwhile: Spike has finally convinced Willow and Faith to help him stop a Chaos demon from ripping his head off, and performing a spell to stop a mad Drusilla.


Chapter 8:

"Wolfram and Hart are trying to kill me?" She asked him.

"Yes." Lindsey said simply.

"Why would they want to kill Buffy?" Kate asked.

"Dennis, you put that butcher knife down right now!" Buffy yelled at her roommate, "Sorry, Dennis is very protective, and like I said before, he doesn't like you."

"And who's Dennis? When I looked through your records it said that you live alone." Lindsey asked her.

"He's my roommate, and a ghost." Buffy replied, "You probably heard about the decomposing body of Dennis Pearson, that I found in here. That would be Dennis."

"Okay." Lindsey said not sure what to make of the matter.

"Back to your company trying to kill our friend, though." Doyle said, "Why would they want to kill her?"

"I don't know." Lindsey replied, "Probably because she is the longest living slayer, and that she now works directly for the Powers that Be, and she has been causing the firm a lot of trouble."

"Where would I be if someone wasn't trying to kill me?" Buffy asked, "Hell, if someone wasn't trying to kill me I might actually be dead!"

"Wolfram and Hart, are not to be taken lightly, they won't stop until you are dead." Lindsey warned her.

"How come we should trust you?" Was seen written on a small whiteboard. Dennis had recently begun to communicate with them by using whiteboards placed around the apartment for business means.

"Dennis is right." Kate stated.

"I trust him." Buffy said, "Lindsey, I need you to try and find out all that you can on why they would really want me dead. Don't let them catch you."

"Um, alright." Lindsey said not sure what to make of what was happening.

"Kate, can you try and find all that you can on what kind of things Wolfram and Hart might use to try and kill me?"

"Okay." Kate replied.

"Doyle, you and me are going to try and find out what kind of demon was trying to kill Lindsey."

"I'll go get the five books we have." Doyle said.

"Welcome to the team, Lindsey." Buffy said smiling.

"Alright, campfires over." Buffy said, "Get to work."


The next day everyone met up again at Buffy's place.

"So?" Buffy asked once everyone had arrived.

"Demons; lock you away for all eternity under false charges." Kate as to how they might kill her.

"I don't like the last one." Buffy said.

"They could also make it look like you died of natural causes, a mugging, and anything they want. They can also use magic." Lindsey told her.

"And why do you work there?" Kate asked him.

"Good pay and I wanted to be a lawyer." Lindsey replied to Buffy and Kate both rolling their eyes.

"Okay, the demon that attacked you was a Kladugash demon. It is dead so we don't really have to worry about it now." Doyle said, "Though we bought five more books trying to find out what it was."

All eyes turned to Lindsey to see what he had found, "I wasn't able to gain access to the files with that information inside."

"Why not?" Dennis wrote on his whiteboard.

"I'm not working on that project." Lindsey replied.

"Who is?" Dennis wrote.

"Holland Manners and a couple other people I haven't met." Lindsey responded pulling a list of names out of his pocket, "Here are all of them."

"This is a small list of names for something so big." Kate said looking at the list.

"I know." Lindsey stated.

"I can get a background check done on them by the end of the day." Kate stated.

"Alright, you do that." Buffy said, "Lindsey, any idea when they might strike?"

"Could be today, or tomorrow, or even next year." He replied.

"Okay, keep your ears and eyes open. We met here every night. Stop by, do not be a stranger. You're part of the team now."
