piece of *cough* junk *cough* literature! Remember. the more the reviews

Angel had a meeting with Lindsey McDonald and the rest of the adults that morning. Though Angel still hated the evil lawyer, he was slowly gaining his redemption. When he had quit working for Wolfram and Hart, he reluctantly given the job over to Lindsey. Angel kept telling himself Lindsey must of been crazy at the time and things were turning out okay, and they were.
He led Buffy into the library and sat down in his big, comfy office chair. The library had shelves of the old, leather bound books that contained several unknown texts and prophesies.
"I'll take Ally to the zoo or something?" Buffy suggested as she uncomfortably twisted her fingers together
"No." Angel said quickly, holding out his hand to stop her from walking out. "I want you to stay."
"Why? I mean I have no business attending one of your employee meetings," Buffy told him, wearing a nervous look.
"You're going to be staying for awhile, I expect," Angel said hopefully. Buffy's gaze lowered and she shifted from one foot to another. "You'll want to go vamp busting with us," he paused and noted that she was nervous. "And we usually get the scoop on the demon bars and vamp hideouts in these meetings."
"Oh," Buffy said with a sigh. "I guess I'll come then."
"Then it's all settled," Angel announced. "I'll start getting everyone."
"Sure. Whatever," Buffy muttered and she tried not to flash a smile towards Angel as he left the room.
Molly pouted at Gunn as he idly polished an axe. "Can I pleasssse wish?" she begged as she looked over to Ally who was eating the last her sundae that had been put in the freezer until after breakfast, and was now enjoying it with a big smile on her face.
Gunn looked her and raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
She stuck out her bottom lip a little more. Gunn just gave her a firm look and she sighed. "Fine," she mumbled with a little stomp of her foot. "I don't want to wish anyway."
"Sure you don't," Gunn drawled sarcastically as he picked up his ax once again and replaced it for another weapon.
"Papa Gunn?" Molly asked.
Gunn let out an aggravated sigh. "Yes Molly?"
"Is Uncle Lindie coming to meet with Angel today?" Molly asked.
"Should be," Gunn replied idly as he continued to clean the weapon.
"Goodie," Molly announced happily. "Uncle Lindie is cool!"
"No he isn't," Vicki said looking up from her Dr. Seuss book. "He and Uncle Angel don't get along."
"But Uncle Angel gave him W and H," Anya pointed out and she sat down on the red couch across from Victoria.
"You mean Wolfram and Hart," Victoria corrected.
"Don't be such a know it all! We just call it W and H," Molly said and stuck out her tongue.
"Molly," Gunn said in a warning tone.
"Sorry," she answered grudgingly. When Gunn turned away Molly stuck her tongue out again at the girl, who insistently poked out her own. Victoria wasn't above misbehaving herself.
"What's Wolf and Heart?" Ally asked tossing her sundae's empty plastic cup away.
"Wolfram and Hart," Vicki corrected once again and Molly rolled her eyes. "It's a business that Uncle Angel used to own."
"Thank you captain obvious!" Molly said glaring at Vicki.
"Molly," Gunn warned again as he picked up another sharp, pointy weapon and sighed at the amount of blood incrusted on the thing.
"It was a really evil law firm that wanted Angelus," Victoria explained self-importantly. Molly had heard the lecture before and using her hand, began to mock what Vicki was saying.
"You talk too much!" Molly whispered, putting her hand down before her dad saw.
Ally interrupted Vicki before she said something mean to Molly, "Who's Angelus?"
"Angel's evil side!" Molly said before Vicki could answer.
"My Spike has an evil side too!" Anya said pointedly. "Only his remains oddly sexual in a kinky kinda way."
"I think Mr. Spike is weird," Ally said.
"He can be sometimes," Anya said twitching a little. She started to glare at the stuffed Bunny that Reagan was holding on to. "Can't she get rid of that!"
"Anya doesn't like bunnies," Molly whispered to Ally.
Ally nodded, and watched Anya scoot farther away from the little girl. Reagan completely ignored, but turned to the door, the ear of the bunny shoved firmly in her mouth, and gave a shout of joy. "Lindie!"
Lindsey McDonald groaned as Molly, Elizabeth, Reagan, and Anya started towards him. "Did it have to be a public service announcement?"
"With kids," Gunn said closing and locking the weapons cabinet. "Everything is a announcement."
Lindsey groaned as the kids surrounded him, almost knocking him down. "Gunn, help me. Please." And with a smile, he waded in to help the ex-evil lawyer.
The large, black man pulled his two away from the lawyer and then laughed at Lindsey. "With those two," he motioned to Anya and Beth. "Your on you're own."
Angel came downstairs and saw his employee about to be knocked over by the girls. Inwardly he smirked, but he gently pulled Beth and Anya away from Lindsey.
"Who's the new kid?" Lindsey asked as he picked up his briefcase.
"I'll tell you later," Angel said as he threw Ally back onto the couch, and took a step back awkwardly as he turned to Gunn. "Gunn. Meeting."
"Gotcha," he replied, then whispers something to Molly before leaving. Angel and Lindsey followed him.
Lindsey walked up the stairs behind Angel. "Who was the cute kid with brown curls?"
"Buffy Summer's adopted daughter," Angel told him as he grabbed some folders out of his office before heading into the library.
"The slayer?" Lindsey questioned in a fascinated tone.
"Well she's not the only slayer anymore, but she was the Chosen one," Angel replied with a wry grin.
"Hmm...Interesting. She could really work for Wolfram and Hart," Lindsey said right before they entered the library.
Angel swung around and glared at the man. "She works for me!"
"Whoa, fine. I won't walk on your territory," Lindsey said holding up his hands and taking a step back.
"Good," he answered as he turned the doorknob. "I would hate to see you lose the other hand," he muttered. Lindsey could barely pick it up.
Lindsey rolled his eyes before following Angel inside. All the adults were in there minus Xander and Cordy since they had left for a long spa trip after breakfast.
"Buffy meet Lindsey," Angel said sitting in 'his' chair. "He's in charge of Wolfram and Hart and reports to us everyday."
Buffy and Lindsey both nodded their hellos and Angel started off the meeting. "What news does Wolfram and Hart send us?"
"We had nothing new since yesterday," Lindsey said and he got out a folder. "But on a good note. Wolfram and Hart has information on the Manacle."
Willow and Wesley both looked up from there book they had been looming over and even Spike started to pay attention. "One of our lawyers picked it up on the black market in Cairo," Lindsey said and he hand Angel a bunch of paperwork. "We're not exactly certain, but we are pretty sure it's a lead."
"Whoa. Stop. Rewind." Buffy ordered looking at Angel. "What the hell is the Manacle?"
"Its sorda like a bracelet with a gems and charms on it," Willow tried to explain and still Buffy looked confused.
"Ancient text say it was some sort of great power, but like Lindsey said we're not clear on what it can or cannot do," Wesley explained, taking off his glasses and leaning against the table.
"Yes, that would be a BIG problem," Buffy said. "Can I help?"
"You can stay for awhile," Willow said as she scribbled something out on a piece of paper.
"Let me talk to Ally," Buffy suggested nervously twisting her manicured fingers around. "Now what?"
"Well, Wes, Willow, and Giles will stay up here. Fred will have desk duty. Gunn and myself will finish cleaning out the weapons cabinet," Angel said giving out orders.
"What about me, peaches?" Spike asked.
"You can watch the girls. I'm sure Brian could use a break," Angel said with a smirk.
"No sodding way," Spike replied quickly, but at the glare directed to him, he folded his arms and scowled. There was no way in hell the Big Bad was going to bloody-pack sit, but Peaches didn't have to know that... yet.
"You too Lindsey!" Angel said to the man who was trying to back out the door.
"Sure, I'd love to help you Angel," he mumbled as he lifted his watch to check the time. "But you know business calls. Meeting with... uh clients."
"You had brothers and sisters. What's so difficult, and that evil hand... gotta be a plus," Angel told him , and he turned to Buffy. "Would you like to help Fred?"
"Sure," Buffy said and she looked at Fred. "I'm guessing desk duty isn't the best job in the world."
"You guessed correctly," Fred said as she kissed Gunn goodbye before she and Buffy headed out the door.
