Chapter 2- Rising Devils
The offices of Wolfram and Hart had seen better days, walls had collapsed, the floor tiles had split and lights hung from their fixtures. Now it looked less like an office and more like a war scene, which in all actuality it was only days before.
Workers toiled with cleanup and the more minor repairs as employees tried their best to resume their daily routines.
As Wesley stepped into the main lobby of the offices his receptionist, Harmony, greeted him. He had let her keep her job, as he deemed a vampire to be of little threat; and as far as vampires were concerned, she was a poor excuse for one in his eyes.
"Good afternoon We…Mr. Wyndham-Price" they're waiting for you in the board room" said the young blonde vampire "And thanks again for my job ba…."
"I'll have no interruptions while this meeting is in session understood?"
"Um.. Yes sir." She saluted as he continued on his way.

"Good afternoon everyone, If you'll permit me to introduce myself, I am Wesley Windham Price; You'll have to forgive the… mess… renovations have just began"
"Make your point and make it quick human, and you may leave the room with your entrails intact" an older demon snapped in response to his greeting.
"Hmph, very well then." He responded calmly
" I am sure you have all have heard rumours surrounding the events that have unfolded over the last few days?" He questioned, and without pause for answer continued, "Allow me to summarize for those of you who don't… Wolfram and Hart have lost their connection to this dimension".
A myriad of whispers amongst those sitting at the table erupted as Wesley leaned back in his chair, quietly observing the onset chaos.
"What of Angel? Where is he now, outside preparing to finish us?" a rather large horned demon shouted in a near state of panic.
"Dead" he placidly answered.
With one word the collection of whispers that had filled the room escalated to a near roar.
"Now Quiet!" Wesley shouted, rising from his seat.
The room quieted to a hush, he had the attention of even those who had minutes before regarded him as little more than a meal.
"There is a major shift in power occurring, with the fall of old powers, comes the rise of new ones" he said, as he began to circle the board room table. "What I am offering to you is a chance to align yourselves with one such new power. To those of you who find my offer appealing, follow me to my office, and we will further discuss the details. To those of you who aren't? Thank you for your time and goodbye.
After allowing his words to sink in, Wesley left the boardroom to the adjoining office, giving those inside a chance to consider his offer.
"Yes, this is Mr. Wyndham-Price, please tell security to proceed as planned, none leave the room" he spoke into the intercom as roughly half the rooms seventeen occupants made their way into the office.
"Gentlemen, come in" he smiled "You've made the right choice I assure you"
The startling sound of screams and gunfire erupted in the adjoining room, and as quickly as the battle began it ended leaving only an eerie quiet and a sense of unease.
"May I offer anyone a drink, or shall we get straight to business"
Next chapter will focus on the heroes (or potential heros that is), and hopefully should be ready soon, Its just way too late to finish it up tonight.
