Needed?

Well Angel and Cordelia left me to man the office today. It's a real honor. They trust me. I'm truly a part of the team, a vital part.

Oh who am I kidding. Today is the first anniversary of Doyle's death. Angel and Cordelia needed to take some time to remember him.

They watched the video Cordelia made of him, went down to the dock where he died, and now they're at his favorite bar toasting his memory.

They asked me to watch the office as a polite way of telling me I'm not wanted today.

What good am I ever to anyone? I certainly couldn't compare to Mr. Giles with the Slayer or her friends and I can't fill Doyle's place with Angel or Cordelia.

In this team Cordelia runs the business and has visions. Angel fights the demons and deal with the clients. I follow Angel around and try to avoid being taken hostage too often. I also do a little research that Angel could most certainly take care of himself if necessary. They don't need me.

Still Angel hired me, and has yet to fire me. Perhaps I fill some need here, even if it is only sparing Angel a bit of the researching. I hope they aren't keeping me on simply because they pity me.
