It was 5 minutes till sunset and Cordelia and Gunn had not gotten back from their meeting with Lorne. Angel didn't have to worry about them. They had grown stronger since he had met them. He didn't have to worry. But he did. Wesley was reading, as usual. Probably something about demons, but Angel didn't care to ask. LA had been quiet, so there must have been something going on.
Once the sun had set Angel would go out and look for the two. Just as he thought that, Cordy walked in. "Cordy! Thank go your okay!" Angel said. Wesley looked up from his book, nodded at Cordelia, and looked back at his book.
"Why wouldn't I be okay?"
"You went out four hours ago to talk to Lorne. I thought you said it would take about 30 minutes." Angel answered. Cordelia put her purse down on the counter and made her way over to the couch. "What he have to say?"
"Who?" Angel blankly stared at her. "Oh right. Who knows" She said as she plopped on the couch.
"What do you mean?"
"You know Lorne. When he talks, you can hardly understand him. Anyway it wasn't about you."
"What? I'm confused. First of all you said you didn't know what he said. Second, on the phone you said 'Lorne has news about Angel' I'm Angel, aren't I?"
"Blabbermouth" Cordy said as she hit herself. "Right. You are. What I meant was-" She was interrupted by the ring of the phone. Wesley stood up and picked it up. "Thank god. Wes, who is it?"
Wesley talks on the phone and then hangs it up. "Gunn. He told me what Lorne said."
"He did? Well what did he say, exactly"
"He told me about the vampire nest."
"Right the vampire nest!" Cordy said. "Let's go fight those vampires."
"He said you told him to handle it. They're dead." Wesley said.
"I don't get it. What does it have to do with me?" Angel asked. Cordy was acting strange. A vampire nest! Was that really all Lorne had to say?
"Well you're a vampire. Vampires are vampires. He must have made the connection."
Angel nodded and sat down on the lobby couch. Cordelia scooted besides him. Wesley went back to his book. Cordelia stared at Angel. He turned and looked at her. "Cordy- what is it?"
"Is they're anybody from your past that may want to kill you?"
"Every person I killed. Every demon I killed. Every demon. There are a lot."
" That is a long list. Any dead thing that you had a lot of history with?"
"What's with the questions?" Angel asked.
"Well, you know." Cordy responded. " Your past tends to like to kill your friends. And I'm your friend. If I know what may come at me then I can be ready. And I can't be made at you for being killed by whatever part of your past inevitably kills me."
She smiled at her answer. Angel sighed. He had to give in. " If I remember anything I'll tell you."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Meanwhile, at the cabin Lilah had poured herself a drink as the clients wandered around the room. The 16 year old girl sat down on the small couch and folded her hands on her lap, patiently waiting for the meeting to start.
Lilah took a sip of her drink and pulled out a case file from her breifcase. "If everyone would please sit down, we can start the meeting." The clients sat down across from the girl. Lilah moved closer to the group. " I'm not sure what your interest in the case is but I speak for everyone at Wolfram and Hart when I say we're sure glad you are."
One of the clients began to talk quickly in a demon language Lilah had never heard. The girl turned and looked at the client. She nodded. Lilah wasn't really good with demons. Using them to do the work that needed to be done, sure. But understanding them was a different story. She knew English and a bit of Latin, for when she needed to do spells. When the client finished speaking the girl looked up to her.
"She says Angel killed her children. She wants revenge. I've been there." The girl explained.
"You speak whatever language that was? Your so young." Lilah said.
The girl chuckled. "I know 400 demon languages. I was trained by a few demons. And I only look young. You know what they say- Looks can be deciving." As she said that she frowned. " I learned that the hard way."
"I'm sure that you all will be a big help with the case." The lawyer continued. "We will pay any price to see you get the job done. I assume you each have a plan."
The second client began to cluck (which was it's demon language). The girl looked at it and clucked back. Lilah raised an eyebrow. The girl turned to her. "He couldn't understand what you were saying. I explained it to him. He says he wants to work from the inside out."
"Very good. I'm sorry I don't know your name."
"Me? Call me Kat."
