"We've got to stop meeting like this. People will talk," a drunk Lindsey said as he was pushed against the wall.

"Where is he, Lindsey?" his assailant, Angel, growled, not in the mood for the lawyer's games.

Lindsey was really getting tired of Angel's threats. "What are you going do, kill me?" He then turned his head, so that his neck was fully exposed. "There you go. Drinks on me." He didn't care if Angel bit him or not. He was dead anyway. If Angel didn't finish him, Wolfram and Hart would. "You know, none of this would have happened if you'd just cooperated."

"Cooperate? With Wolfram and Hart? Why? So they could have another hired killer on their payroll?" Angel said, his voice dripping with contempt.

"Who's talking about Wolfram and Hart? I'm talking about Darla," Lindsey said, going into a drunken depression.

The sudden change in subjects surprised Angel enough so that he dropped Lindsey. "What are you talking about?" he asked completely perplexed.

"If you had turned Darla, none of this would have happened. I wouldn't have had to call in that crazy bitch Drusilla. Hopefully, you would have lost your soul by now. And the senior partners wouldn't have gotten so desperate."

"Lindsey..."

"You know, before you came, my life was pretty damn good. I was on my way to the top. I was always one step ahead of my rivals. Then you showed up, with your holier than thou attitude," he said venomously. "Everyone talks about you. The firm has put more money and effort in trying to make you bad. It makes me sick. I say we should've just saved the effort and killed you."

"I don't give a damn about your problems," Angel said before grabbing him by the throat and lifting him into the air, "Now tell me where your new friend is?"

"Darla and Dru have him," he choked.

"What?" he yelled and dropped Lindsey to the floor.

"We went to Ciritas and they were there, waiting for us. I'm thinking..."

"Dru," Angel said grimly, finishing Lindsey's thought. This was just getting better and better. He was pissed at Wolfram and Hart. He wanted to hit something really badly. So he did.

"Thanks Lindsey," he said to Lindsey's crumbled form of the floor as he walked out.
