Chapter Seven: Lawyers and lovers and Lestat? Oh my!
Justine paced back and forth, waiting for Holtz to show up. His 'lesson' had sent her to the hospital, she had just gotten out.
When I find that bastard, I'm going to-
"Justine, how nice of you to finally wake up," Holtz remarked. "Now go find me some more recruits!" He turned and left. Justine just stared at him.
He's not afraid of me at all...He just turns his back and walks away... Justine growled, and headed in the opposite direction, to find a vampire to kill.

Cordelia stared at the Magic Box. "Oh my God, it's so...handy," She remarked. "Like, you have everything here...potions, weapons...wish we had one of these in L.A. All we have is weapen case that I seem to break frequently," She stated.
"So, where's Spike?" Buffy asked.
"Oh, I think he said he was taking Dawn out for a test drive..." Willow replied, staring at her computer screen. "Hey, you guys have a website?" She asked Cordelia.
"Hmm? Oh yeah, Fred put it up, she's a regular whiz," Cordelia explained.

Re: Email
Lilah, about the email you sent me...I just don't think it's meant to be between us...it's not that you're not an attractive woman, but how do I say this...you a bitch.

Re: I want you
Just wanted to say how much I've been wanting you lately, you're all I can think about. Maybe we could hook it up, no strings attatched? Think on it, I know I will...
Lilah
But you can call me whatever you want.
"I didn't write this," Lilah said aloud. She clicked on every single message, some declining the offer, some accepting... "I didn't write this!" Lilah shouted.
Someone had hacked into her system.

Wesley and Fred were cracking up at some of the replies that Lilah had gotten back.
"Job well done," Wesley told her.

Cordelia was sitting down at the Magic Box, as Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Anya discussed the nerd trio. Buffy had just filled them in on the whole situation, and they were trying to figure out a motive.
"Spike said something about a robot in L.A. when he called, he said that Warren had been building again, but why in L.A?" Willow asked.
"Maybe he needed time to recover and regroup," Cordelia suggested.
"Yeah, but why would his robot be a waitress?" Buffy asked. "I mean sex toy, sure, but public service?"
"Buff's right, it doesn't make sense," Xander added.
"Here, lemme see that," Cordelia motioned towards Willow's laptop. Willow handed it over. "Checking the restaurant...bingo. Charlie's...hmm...okay, clicking on the one we went to...oh," She frowned. "It says that the land is held by Wolfram and Hart. They must have some kind of deal," She stated.
"You make me a waitress, and I'll make you a shorter court sentence?" Xander asked.
"Probably an exange more along the lines of power, or admiration of beautiful women," Cordelia explained. "Wolfram and Hart is an evil law firm."
"Evil lawyers...good God no!" Xander joked.
"I mean evil as in out to get Angel evil. They deal with vampires, demons, witches, they're the ones who hired Faith to kill Angel," Cordelia explained. "They're actually EVIL lawyers."
"And I thought I was having trouble with the law," Buffy muttered.
* * *
Spike used his blanket, and stumbled into the Magic Box. He had just spent an hour in a car, with a teenager, who found it extremely entertaining to fly over speed bumps. Dawn was grinning from ear to ear, but Spike felt sick.
"How'd it go?" Anya asked.
"Great, I think I'm ready to get my licsense!" Dawn beamed.
"Yeah by threatening to kill the DMV official until they grant it to you," Spike muttered.
"I take it you're a reckless driver?" Cordelia asked. "So was I... I miss my car," She stated.
"I'm not reckless...I'm a good driver," Dawn insisted.
"Tell that to the speed bumps," Spike said.
"So can I go get my licsense now? I've had my permit, and I've drivin with Xander," Dawn pleaded.
"Fine, I'll take you," Buffy told her. "You guys watch...what is that?" She asked Dawn, as she spotted a black kitten rubbing against Dawn's legs.
"Oh this? I found him in the car, I think he crawled in there during the night...can we keep him?" She asked.
"I don't think so, Spike might kittennap him and use him for gambling," Buffy remarked.
"I would never!" Spike protested.
"Besides, you can't keep goldfish alive...how would you keep this poor kitty?" Buffy asked.
"I promise! If I don't do what I say, I'll give him away...promise!" Dawn added. "Please, for my birthday?"
Buffy looked at her pleading face. "Fine, but you clean up the hairballs."
"Deal!" Dawn grinned. "I'm going to name him Lestat!"
"Like the vampire from Interview With the Vampire?" Willow asked.
"Yeah, did you see Tom Cruise in that movie?" Dawn asked.
"Oh, I thought you meant the book," Willow muttered.
Lestat wandered over, and sat on the floor, trying to catch Cordelia's swaying tail. He pawed at it, and Cordelia turned around, to see him rubbing his head innocently against the 'devil/triangle' end of her tail. "Don't try to play innocent," She muttered, and then turned around.
"He thinks Cordy's his mummy," Spike remarked.
"Does not," Cordelia retorted, but Lestat was cuddling up next to her thigh.
* * *
Evan entered Angel Investigations, one of his hands gripping a rosary tightly in his pocket.
"Can I help you?" Gunn asked him.
"Yes, I'm looking for Cordelia Chase?" Evan asked. "I've tried calling her, but she hasn't answered her phone...Do you know where I can find her?" He inquired.
"Gunn, try calling Buffy, see if Cordy's in Sunnydale yet-" Angel stopped as he laid eyes on Evan.
"I can always try back later," Evan excused himself, and then quickly left.
* * *
A few hours later, Cordelia came back from shopping with Willow to find Buffy talking to a man. A familiar looking man... Cordelia thought. He turned around.
"Cordelia!" He grinned.
"Evan...What are you doing here?" She asked. And why so happy to see me?
"I went to your work, they told me you were here..." Evan told her. "I know I freaked out...about you having a tail...but I'm so sorry. It was unfair of me to judge you, when you're such a great girl! I really like you, and I want to make it up to you," He said. "Forgive me?" He asked.
Cordelia stared at him. Okay, now this is the part where I wake up and realize that I'm dreaming... She thought. "Of course!" She found herself saying. Normal wants me! A NORMAL guy wants me! A HOT normal guy wants ME! He lowered his lips to meet hers, and Cordelia felt emotions flood through her.
A hot normal guy who knows I'm half demon wants to be with me.
