A/N: I'm really glad that this fic is getting so much attention. The reviews really cheer me up. I know I haven't updated in a bit but I've been job searching. Thanks Mony19, Danni Rand, and funkydevil206 for reviewing so far.
Wesley, Angel, Spike, and Buffy all looked wide eyed at the three buckets. "Is that who I think it is?" said Buffy. Spike walked over to the buckets looked inside and nodded "I think you'd be right pet."
Chapter 4
Angel's Office
Buffy refused to look at the three buckets that sat on Angel's desk. Angel on the other hand had no problem. In the years he spent as a vampire he'd seen worse. "HARMONY!" bellowed Angel. Harmony ran into his office quickly "Yes boss?"
"Get me everything we have on this Magnus Hanesly character… NOW!" Harmony hurried back out of his office. Buffy glared at Angel "I know she used to be horrible in high school but don't you think that was a little harsh taking your anger out on her like that?" Angel leaned back against his chair not wanting to get into a shouting match with Buffy knowing he'd lose. The only one that ever stood a chance against Buffy was Spike himself. Gunn threw open the door and walked into Angel's office carrying a folder "Heard you wanted information on Hanesly." He tossed the folder onto the desk. Spike looked at Gunn surprised at how fast he had got there with what Angel only minutes earlier had asked for. Gunn smirked noticing Spike's surprised expression "Word gets around quickly here. Especially when the person's office is close enough to hear it." Angel opened the folder that sat on his desk "He's a necromancer. Well that explains why Wolfram and Heart supplied him with fresh corpses." Wesley nodded "Except what he's using them for."
"Army of undead?" offered Buffy. Everyone turned their gaze to Buffy. "It was just a thought." Spike smirked lightly and nuzzled into her neck affectionately "Good thought it was luv."
"These buckets are a message.. One not to be taken lightly" replied Wesley. Angel nodded before he started to move towards his elevator "If he wants to send a message then I'll reply to it.. personally." Wesley hurried to try and block Angel's exit "You can't take him on alone." Angel pushed past Wesley and walked into the elevator "I'm not gonna risk him turning somebody else into chowder." Wesley held the door open "You have armed and trained personal at your command." Angel rolled his eyes "They cramp my style."
"Your style's not gonna cut it with a necromancer. We should probably avoid an eye-for-an-eye escalation here" replied Wesley. Angel moved Wesley's hand so that the elevator door could start to close "Not going for his eyes, Wes." Gunn grinned "I know what you could go for." Angel's hand shot out to stop the elevator door. Gunn continued to grin "It'll hurt him. Bad."
As the doors to the elevator opened, there stood Buffy and Spike. "What do you two want? With you two being together all the time, you're starting to make me wonder if you're both joined to the hip." Spike grinned "Don't think we're going to miss out on the fun Peaches." Angel growled lightly before walking right through them. Buffy grabbed Spike's hand and the both disappeared. Angel continued off towards the viper and opened the door, and growled at the passengers that he saw in the back seat. "I knew you'd pick the viper" Spike held Buffy closer as she leaned against Spike, her head resting on his shoulder. Buffy swatted Spike's chest playfully "Be nice."
"Get out! Both of you" growled out Angel. Spike pretended to think it over before he shook his head in decline childishly (A/N: Come on you know those two act like children a lot in Season 5. The best example of it is their fight over who would win in a fight; a caveman or an astronaut.) Angel muttered quietly to himself no longer caring. If Spike and Buffy were going to haunt him for the rest of his unlife, then he'd have to learn to deal with it.
Magnus Hanesly's home
Angel knocked on the front door of Mr. Hanesly's. "Now you better behave" muttered Angel. He didn't have to tell them who he was referring to. They both knew he meant Spike. Buffy rolled her eyes "You never behave.." she whispered mockingly loud enough for Spike to hear.
A male answered the door and appeared to be a butler. "May I help you? To see Master Hanesly you must have an appointment" he asked monotonely. Angel nodded "Yes… I'm Angel, head of Wolfram and Heart. These two are.." He trailed off unsure exactly what to call them.
Buffy coughed out lightly "Secretary and a lawyer."
Angel continued on "are my secretary and.." Spike grinned and cut him off "I'm her date." He refused to be some poncey lawyer. Angel rolled his eyes "May we come in?" The Butler looked at them oddly "Master Hanesly is with a client right now. You may wait in the gallery while I tell him of your arrival." He stepped back from the entrance before motioning them to enter. "Follow me."
The Butler walked into the work room where Magnus Hanesly currently resided in. In the centre of the room stood Mr. Hanesly and a demon by a large stone alter that was high enough up to reach Mr. Hanesly's waist. On the alter, was a fully dressed female corpse. At the bottem of her shirt, in the middle, was a rip from the hem up to about the bottom of her breasts.
"Master Hanesly, sir" said the Butler almost timidly. He wasn't supposed to disturb him while he was working. Magnus turned his gaze behind him to glare at the Butler "What is it!" The Butler lowered his gaze in respect "More from Wolfram and Heart have arrived sir. The vampire is one of them." Mr. Hanesly sighed before turning back to the corpse "Kill them."
A/N: I've already started the next chapter.. Hopefully I'll post it before Saturday.
VOTE: I've always been curious. In your reviews tell me who would win, a caveman or astronaut, in a fight and why. I'll tally the votes by the end of 'Just Rewards'.
