Summary: AU Angel is a Private Investigator who gets a case about one Buffy Summers.

Dedication: To all of my friends at the lunch table who have (and had) to sit through my long rants about B/A and to all of the people I have annoyed throughout my entire existence. How I pity you.

Disclaimer: ....Yes, I do own them. All of them in fact. This is why I'm writing this story right now instead of making it reality. Get real people.

AN: I started this story and I had a wonderful idea in mind....Then I totally forgot it. But I really liked this beginning so I came up with the idea of the readers controlling the story. So read this first part and then tell me what to do next! ________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 1: Fate Happens

The phone rings and a pretty pregnant brunette picked it up.

"Angel Investigations we help the hopeless. Just a minute please I'll connect you."

She put the phone on hold and walked into a richly decorated office. Tapestries adorned the windows but they are not drawn to keep out the bright morning sun. The richly light colors and mahogany desk contrasts with the young man sitting in a high leather chair. He appeared to be around 28 or so and he defined the very phrase of tall, dark and handsome.

"Angel there's someone on the line...A Rupert Giles who says that he knows you. Are you gonna answer or shall I tell him to take a hike?"

Angel talked without even looking up from his work, "Cordelia what have I told you about being nice to clients you remember last time when.did you say Rupert Giles?"

Cordelia rolled her dark brown eyes and flipped some hair away from her face. "Duh! God, why am I still your secretary? I mean you have millions of dollars and I'm still file girl? I mean when we first started this buisness you said that you would never give me to big of a job to do."

Angel smirked and replies, "As I recall when we first started this buisness you said that you would never fall for Doyle and look what happened."

Cordelia gestured to her enlarged stomach, "Yeah I know but that's different! I mean that's love, this is work. You shouldn't be talking yourself Mister-I-haven't-gone-on-a-date-in-five-years. The least you could do is take a brake from the Private Investigator for a little while and go out with someone. Wasn't there that girl who was fawning all over you?"

"Cordelia, Darla was just attacked by her psychotic ex boyfriend who was sending hit men after her. Anyone could be scared."

"Oh, puh-luze anyone could see she was a ho! I mean seriously she just wanted to jump you."

Angel laughed and then conceded, "Ok, I guess you're right.anyway I have to take this call then we'll discuss my love life ok?"

Cordelia left the room satisfied.for now.
