A/N Alright, I didn't get that many review for the first chapter, but I
decided to post the second one anyway, since the first one is kinda boring
since its pretty much just introducing Phoenix and only giving a hint that
she's got a secret..........anyways, hopefully you'll read the last one and enjoy
this one, too, so here I go.........
After having left Phoenix, Gunn started to wonder why she had tried to open the file storage door. She claimed she had simply gotten to the wrong door, but Gunn was no idiot: he knew a lie when he saw one, and Phoenix was obviously hiding something. But what?
Gunn passed by Angel's office and decided to ask Angel if he knew anything. He walked in and found Angel sitting at his desk, fumbling with papers.
"Hey, Gunn, good timing," Angel said, looking up from his papers. "Phoenix just left, I gave just her her first assignment, thought you could help her out in case she needed anything." Angel paused as he put the stack of papers in his drawer. "Have you guys met yet?"
"Yeah. This morning. Look that's what I came to talk to you about. I think she's hiding something," Gunn said calmly.
"And what exactly makes you think that?" Angel said, looking dumbly at Gunn.
"I caught her trying to get into the file storage room this morning. She said she just got to the wrong door, but I have my doubts. I think she was trying to get something in there."
"What would she want that's in the file storage room? And how do you even know it wasn't an accident? Her office is right next to it, isn't it, its not so hard to get mixed in here," Angel argued.
"Maybe, but I still think we should look her up, check her files, see what she was up to before this. Maybe there could be something in there that could help us," Gunn said knowingly.
"Fine, do whatever you what, but I'm telling you, there is no reason to believe there's anything wrong with her."
"Alright, I'll get back to you if I find anything." Gunn started towards the door then stopped and looked back at Angel. "And can I borrow Wesley, he's better at that research stuff than I am."
"Um, sure, as long as he's not working on anything else important."
Gunn nodded and headed out the door towards Wesley's office.
After having paid a short visit to Wesley explaining what he needed to get, Gun headed for Fred's lab. He walked in and headed towards Fred, who was sitting at her desk, doing work on the computer.
"Hey Fred, I got a question for you," Gunn said as he reached her side. "What's in the file storage room?"
Fred looked up at Gunn, looking startled by the random question. "Um, not much, just, well, files. Just a bunch of personal stuff about every client Wolfram & Hart ever had, details on every trial, and reports about what goes on in each department. Why are you asking?"
"No reason, just curious."
Gunn turned and walked out.
"You're welcome!" Fred called out, left in her chair looking confused
Phoenix was sitting in her office, going through reports from every department. Gunn walks in and Phoenix looks up from her work and smiles at him.
"Hey Gunn, what can I do for you?" she asks cheerfully.
"Well, I was assigned the task of doing your employee profile, everyone must have one. I just need a list of your previous jobs, your education, and your parents' names."
"Parents are John and Marilyn Brown, I attended UCLA for 4 years double- majoring in law and ancient languages and history.........And do I really have to state every job?"
"Yeah. Any job after college. But tell you what, why don't you just make a list and send it to me as soon as you can?" Gunn said.
"Good, because I have a report to finish in two hours," Phoenix said, half desperately.
"K then, let me know when you're done," Gunn said standing up.
"Hey Phoenix, Fred found something than could be useful for the.........case........." Angel started as he walked in. "Am I interrupting anything here?" he added, looking from Gunn to Phoenix, confused.
"No, I was just leaving. Just getting some information for her employee profile," Gunn said. As he stood up, he looked at Angel before walking by him and heading for the door.
Angel looked around, looked a little disoriented. "Right, um, anyway, like I was saying, here's some evidence Fred found. She said you'd get it, because I honestly don't."
"Great. Anything will help at this point," Phoenix said as Angel handed her the folder. "Thank Fred for me will you?"
"Sure enough," Angel said. "Listen, Gunn wasn't bugging you about anything, was he?" he asked, looking worried.
"Um, no, not that I know of. Should he?" Phoenix asked, looking a little amused.
"No, no, of course not. Never mind that. Well, I better leave then, let you finish that report," Angel said, then walked out the door.
After getting the job list from Phoenix, Gunn went back to his office and started studying it.
"Law firms, agencies, art schools.........that's just a bunch of regular junk," he whispered to himself, letting out a sigh. Then, catching something, he straightened up in his chair. "Senior Partners? Well, well, well, would you look at that?" he said, smiling to himself. Quickly, he gathered up his papers and headed for Wesley's office
