Part 3-
Tara had emerged back into the realm of the living in the jeans and blue sweater that she was wearing when she was shot. Spike started to explain the how and why she was back while pulling her into him and leading her out of the church. He had been ecstatic when he's hand had made physical contact with her without having the "desire it enough to will it to happen". Angel followed close behind. They all got into the car, but it was Spike that hoped into the driver's seat, with Tara in the passenger seat. Angel was not too pleased to have to ride in the backseat, but after a "to be a gloom gus" look from Spike, he begrudgingly, yet silently, slipped into the back seat. Spike and Angel finished the explanation portion of "while you were gone (with a few, certain details left out, for Tara's own good)" on the ride back to Wolfram and Hart.
"We could use a witch/sorceress with a keen eye for art and has knowledge of it's history at the law firm. Right Angel?" Spike volunteered.
"Um, yes we have an opening in our copyrights/art department for a director/lawyer, if you're interested Ms. Maclay?" He offered Tara, and then gave Spike a look while whispering "We, Spike?"
"Yes, we mate. I have nowhere else to go and LA is too big for just one vamp with a soul. There's plenty of room for the both of us, Angel!" Spike finished while Tara got her bearings.
Walking into Angel's office, "Want something to eat or drink?" CEO offered. He left to fetch her some coffee when she absently requested it.
Alone with Spike in the office, Tara tried to go for the phone and call Willow.
"Whoa, now chick-a-bee! I'll bring her to you, you coming back from the dead and all will be something she'll need to see with her own eyes. Too big of news to be heard over the phone, don't you think." Spike reassured her.
Angel reemerged with the steaming cup of coffee with a blueberry muffin on a saucer. Both vampires sat and watch her suck down the muffin like she hadn't eaten in years and drain the coffee in one fell swoop.
"Wow! You must've been hungry and in desperate need of caffeine." Angel let slip before he could stop himself. Calling Harmony in to his office with the appropriate paperwork, Angel recomposed himself. "Uh, sorry about that. Um, You need a place to stay. I've got plenty of living space here for you. Harmony will show you to your department and office in a little while (he gestured towards the female vampire assistant of his whom just entered his office, noticing that Harmony was scooping Tara out and Spike had saw it too and that he had a look of shock on his face. They both thought Harmony was a straight shooter. Oh well, so much for that. Clearing his throat and continuing) and we'll get Eve to outfit you with the needed attire and certification so you'll be able to start immediately, and we will set a schedule up for you to practice your magic, training-that I am putting Spike in charge of (quietly uttering, that should keep him away from me as much as possible. Then upping his volume he told Spike not too worry that he'll provide him with everything he'll need, too). Oh, Harmony send a memo and pass them around to Wes, Gunn, Lorne, and Fred. We will be having a small, intimate gathering to welcome our newest member of the team. (After seeing Harmony give a rather impatient "what about me" look) Yes, Harmony you will be invited also. Ah, Eve I don't know how you do it, but you just the person I wanted to see. You'll take care of Ms. Maclay, right?" Angel finished without having to wait for a reply from his intermediary to say anything.
Eve just tilted her head in agreement, signifying that she knew exactly what needed to be done without being told, "Come with me, if you will Ms. Maclay?" Eve proposed to Tara with a flourish of arm towards the door.
