After escorting Fred and Spike to Wesley's office Angel retreated to his own. He had a lunch hour and a newly poured fresh cup of pig's blood. Thankfully there were no more Gumlar or Reshald demons in the building. He had the security team scan the entire law firm. He couldn't get the vision of the demon strangling Fred out of his mind. Coming to Wolfram & Hart may have been the wrong idea. He had done it for his son, without thinking of his friends and couldn't live with himself if one of them got hurt because of it. Angel stared down at his blood thinking of how he let things get like this.
"Looks good." Eve said as she walked through the door.
"What do you want Eve?"
"I just want to talk. The Senior Partners have a message for you. Well actually it's more of a warning. Don't try to make the day perfect just try to make it through the day."
"Well that's cryptic." Angel said looking confused.
"Most warnings are. Just remember what I told you."
"Is that all?" Angel asked.
"Pretty much."
"Then why are you still here?"
"You're in a bad mood today. What's wrong?" Eve said as she paced the room.
"Well I did just get almost killed twice, not to mention that I'm now head of an evil law firm, one of my very good friends is still in a coma and my son doesn't even know who I am."
"I assure you Conner is safe. He's a cute kid I can see a lot of you in him and so can the Senior Partners. They have big plans for him." Eve stated.
Angel ran Eve up against the wall and began to strangle her.
"If you ever go near my son I will kill you." Angel said as he started to squeeze tighter around her neck.
"I wouldn't hold it past you and I won't go near him."
Angel released eve and told her to get the hell out of his office. With that Eve walked out the door and Angel got back to his brooding.
